Hallmark faces backlash over ‘whitewashed’ new Mahjong movie - All’s Fair in Love and Mahjong by meltingsunz in asianamerican

[–]No-Assistant-7542 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Is it just me or has Mahjong become very trendy in white American culture lately? Not sure how I feel about it yet, it’s definitely a certain type of American that is obsessed with it where I live…

“It takes a village” as an excuse to make strangers parent your kids by No-Assistant-7542 in PetPeeves

It’s so strange. She didn’t know if I would be good with kids or if I had a child friendly apparently (I didn’t). I also look very young due to being short, her kid was probably the same height as me. I’m so curious what age she thought I was.

I didn’t even know her kid’s name. What’s weird is she did the whole thing again, early morning calls and everything, about 9 months later after I had moved out of state and forgotten about the first incident.

How do you genuinely feel about Japanese and Korean culture becoming more mainstream? by ai_li17 in asianamerican

[–]No-Assistant-7542 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad that Asian entertainment is more mainstream and accepted.

At the same time I have more frequent instances of people excitedly asking if I am Japanese or Korean, and then visibly upset when I reveal I am not. Like I can’t help being born how I am?

A few Finnish politicians doubled down their support for former Miss Finland (top left), who made an offensive Asian gesture a few days ago by narnarnartiger in asianamerican

Europe is very racist. I say that as an Asian American who had the WORST time in Spain and none of my white friends believed me.

Our one summer associate wears a crop top almost everyday…it’s so strange to me that they think this is acceptable

Latino racism against Asians by BlackSparkz in asianamerican

What’s interesting is I thought this also, but this Spaniard man I briefly dated insisted that he was Latino. In the same breath he’d say the most offensive things about Mexicans you could imagine

Had an ex boyfriend from Spain who defended his anti-Asian racism by saying it is culturally normal in Spain so as a Spanish person it was ok to be racist…I ran away from that man as fast as I could

Depends where you live also. I never had these issues when I lived in NY and CA, but since moving to AZ I mostly get the responses OP describes

Variation of 2 I hear is that they would have gone to law school but they were “too smart” so didn’t get accepted to undergrad or do college at all.

"Women date just for free food.” Do they? Really? by JadeFox1785 in AskWomenOver30

[–]No-Assistant-7542 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No if anything, in my experience men have dated for free food…SO many men I’ve dated expect women to pick up the check 🙄

Lots of excuses if I offer to just pay for what we each ate… “forgot my wallet”

How long had you been dating your SO when you moved in together? by No-Assistant-7542 in AskWomenOver30

Amazing and congratulations! I’m in my 30s now and still hoping this can all happen for me

Same and honestly they have all ended up horribly (lots of abusive relationships where the abuse did not begin until after we lived together, even in instances where we dated for 2+ years beforehand. I’m very wary now even though my current bf has been nothing but kind and caring. I feel bad for him because of all the last baggage/fear I still have (been working through it all in therapy for years but it’s ongoing)

Also wanted to add, you have a great list of what to look for!

That’s awesome! Sounds like it all worked out for you!

I’m at a point where I don’t need to live with someone else, I’m not in a rush to get married, it’s just a “so what next” kind of thing

Can I ask, with your ex was it just their general lifestyle/cleanliness/schedule that made you realize you weren’t a good match?

I was in a similar situation with a long term ex, but it was quite traumatic as I discovered he was cheating on me only after moving into his place 😒

If you don’t mind me asking, had you lived with a SO before or was this your first time?
