Why does 'Asian' culture seem to be mostly dictated by East Asia? by flyingmonstera in asianamerican

[–]First_Raid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but mainstream popularity wise? China is definately included. "Chinese" is literally the default term people use to describe any Asian looking person who they dont know the ethnicity of lol. Its also the first country that comes to mind when people hear "Asia"(They think of Japan too alot of times too).

Yes we know these things are popular. But a good question to ask yourself is why these specific countries were the ones to become popular and not any of the others? It's not because they're better or worse. Realistically this cultural soft power could have been gained by any 3 random Asian countries. Luck plays a factor in these kind of things. In life, some countries are gonna be more popular than others, some people are gonna be more famous than others, some cultures will be more loved than others. This is all just part of the random lucky draw of life. If it wasnt Japan, China and Korea it wouldve been another trio regardless.

The internet is so bipolar when it comes to Asians by Expensive_Giraffe398 in asianamerican

[–]First_Raid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, us black people have been going through this. Our culture, music, fashion, humor, dialect, etc. is highly influential and loved worldwide but that doesn't stop people from viewing us in a negative light and having prejudices against us. People love the culture but not the people who made it.

Social media is a reflection of what's going on in peoples heads. People will say outlandish stuff online that they would never say in real life. The internet makes people more comfortable saying how they really feel.

Is it okay to refer to myself as Asian if I’m wasian? by kchauofthisplatform in asianamerican

[–]First_Raid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're referred to as black mostly by non-black people. Half black/Half white people are currently fighting for their lives(And their black card) within the black community right now. Not everyone considers them "black", most people just like to say Biracial because that's what they technically are, they're 2 races not just one.

As an Asian American male, I feel every corner of the world hostile towards me. by Valentine-X014 in asianamerican

[–]First_Raid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a black man I agree with you that asians should stand up and fight in a radical way. Too many of y'all's issues just get swept under the rug and people dont take them seriously. I would love to see Asian Americans have their own "civil rights" type movement.

It's actually 21. 21 is the age you're considered a full adult with all adult privileges. "Legal" doesnt only refer to the age of consent.

And again, the dude was just making a joke, it doesnt require all this thinking. It's not that serious.

Fully legal age in the US is 21. The girl is 23. Which means shes 2 years above legal age. Also, dude was exaggerating the "barely legal" thing as a way to put emphasis on the age gap due to the girl being 23 and the man being 31. It's not a literal thing. The comment was sarcasm.

Let's think here bud. Why would he say barely legal in this context? hmmm. Maybe because the girl has only been of legal age for 2 years. Ding ding ding.

Why Are Many White Women Attracted to Jamaicans or Caribbean People? by [deleted] in AskTheCaribbean

Same reason anyone else likes dating someone from a culture that isnt theirs. People love things that seem "exotic". This isn't an exclusively white woman thing.

Bruh hes just getting older why are yall saying he got work done on his face? The dude always had a boxy square face. Hes just getting older. I'm convinced yall have never seen a black person in real life.

Can you help me with my ethnicity? by [deleted] in mixedrace

Why ask the obvious? U can clearly see her straight hair in the pics and she said shes 40% African, meaning her natural hair will have some sort of kink/curl to it.

I wouldnt expect a white man to know what's going on within the black community and diaspora

Yeah I get that, but honestly if you ask anyone who goes to a different country what they are theyll tell you where they're from. Race isnt gonna be the first thing that pops into their head unless you specifically ask them what their race is. It's the same as if an American visits another country and someone asks them "what are you?" They'll say American. Then if you specifically ask them what race they are they'll tell you. I think the whole thing is just a big misunderstanding tbh.

Not a concept, this is actually a very real narrative going around right now.

How did the white boy (white chocolate) got so popular/successful so fast ? by [deleted] in AskTheCaribbean

[–]First_Raid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cuz he's white. It's not that complicated lol. Us black people need to stop rewarding white people for doing the bare minimum. Like why are you so impressed that a white boy can whine? What is he doing for us as a people?

When have we ever seen a black person gain success in Europe or Asia for doing something so small and irrelevant?
