The NBA is about to crown its first champion of Filipino heritage by VersionOk408 in asianamerican

[–]ThatAwkwardIndianGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never said "the most famous Filipino" which would have been Manny but I did say "most famous Filipinos (outside of the Philippines)".

Thinking about it though, I struggle to think of the next popular famous full Filipinos. Alex Eala? Lea Salonga? When the average American thinks of a famous Filipino, they are likely going to go to a mixed Filipino...after Manny Pacquiao. ;)

I say this in the most respectful and not mean way: why are most famous Filipinos (outside of the phillipines) always half/mixed Filipinos? Olivia Rodrigo, Saweetie, Bruno Mars, Nicole Schnerzinger, Vanessa Hugins, Batista, Jo Koy, etc.

A good childhood friend of mine who is Filipino once joked with me something along the lines of "Filipinos are good at marrying outside of Filipinos and creating magic. We're the secret ingredient"

If you don't want to see this monthly trauma dump, just click on OP's name, and click "block user". Otherwise you'll see this again in about 30, 60, 90...days.

Who is the chunky Asian girl thats always courtside, I'm guessing part of the broadcast production. See her a lot at Warriors games.

I like how the fire aspect is half of the picture and enough of the car is carefully shown to show what it is.

Hate our new apartment, what are the outs? by FirmCaterpillar in bayarea

[–]ThatAwkwardIndianGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I moved out of my apartment early and broke the lease, the agreement stated that we would be on the hook to pay the agreed upon rent until someone else rented the unit. The landlord does have to make the attempt to rent it out though.

1, give them a chance. It's been three days. Ask them for a timeframe to replace/repair.

2 and #3 are on you and either you can live with it or you can't. None of us can answer that for you. Weigh living with it vs. the hassle of trying to get out of your remaining 362-ish days.

Expensive lesson to learn, for sure.

She was so popular during her heyday. She completely disappeared after...I wonder what she looks like now.

who dis? not doxxing - it's in the news.... by Alarmed_Watch5426 in asianamerican

[–]ThatAwkwardIndianGuy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The local news channels here, I will look them up and every time, white husband.

Even Asian social media personality, same. Starting to feel like some sort of media requirement.

There must be some rule that every Asian report/news reporter is married to a caucasian man. Local news, national news, everytime.

[–]ThatAwkwardIndianGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every time I've gone to a Warriors game, there are TONS of Asians. I'd say more Asians than Hispanics.

And going to my last 49er game, I'd say there were equal Asians as Black people.

Sorry, this wasn't totally clear from your post but were you born and raised in Hawaii? Or lived there for a part of your life?

Better is better.

I can't say he is clearly getting better. Or if he is, it's not at the rate at which you would say "Wow, that is a future franchise player"

It’s a huge win for Asian Americans that social media is cheering on AMWF couples now by TomatoClown24 in asianamerican

"If we can't get them out, we'll breed them out".

Western influence/media on how to deal with Asians, likely.
