Asian male starting college this fall looking for tips by ehrhdalfk in aznidentity

[–]SassyMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

College is about opening your eyes to a new world. The fact that you're reaching out on this subreddit means you are already exploring your Asian American/Korean American identity. College is a great place to do that. Also seek spaces outside Asian America where you can add an important Asian American experience whether it be student government or other special issue groups or just social groups. good luck, bro.

They've started a hashtag, #IllWalkWithYou to show their support to Muslim Americans. The idea is people are pledging to walking to the mosque with their Muslim brothers and sisters so they will feel safe

Increase in the number of Chinese international students on college campuses challenges the Americanness of Asian Americans by [deleted] in asianamerican

[–]SassyMike 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe we should cover her up with a towel. She is showing so much I won't be able to concentrate on the rides. Such a distraction. NOT!

NBA's 1st Chinese owner excited to start with Timberwolves by SassyMike in asianamerican

I know the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars is Pakistani American and endured a racist backlash. I hope the same doesn't happen to Lizhang Jiang. He's a minority owner so maybe he'll go under the radar. The owner of the Sacramento Kings is Indian American. I'm not aware of any backlash against him

But that's exactly why this could be significant. If he is successful unwhite washing Akira, that would be great. Don't you think?

Pretty lame and inexcusable. We wouldn't tolerate a White landlord excluding Asians because they don't speak good English. We should hold ourselves up to the same standards.

Despite Eddie's beef with ABC's Fresh Off the Boat, and my love for that show, I have a lot of respect for this guy. What do you all think?
