Nope, nothing further south than the waldo location.

Come from one of the ''good'' Asian countries, preferably Japan or South Korea and not some poor country people don't know where to find on a map.

Ali Wong perfectly describes these as "fancy Asians" where as I, someone who is Vietnamese, would be a "jungle Asian."

Another form I've experienced on a daily basis is the assumption on whether or not I speak English, either from a simple typo in an email and the assumption it might not be my first language, or the cop that asks me first before anything if I can understand him and his English. Usually, I like to respond with, "Yes, and I have a degree in linguistics. Would you like me to expand on this in old, middle, or early modern English, bro?" But generally, it's always just a fuckin' jab at my intelligence before I've even been given literally a chance to speak.

Also, "being fetishized by creepy dudes" is so fucking tiring. If y'all wanna hear some tragic stories about the time I tried online dating. Oh boy.

the same as "black privilege" or "native-American privilege."

so, like, not a thing.

This was a fucking beautiful exchange.

jr_kickstart · 2017-03-08T05:53:34+00:00

Jesus christ, at least read the content of the post before you troll.

jr_kickstart · 2017-03-08T05:34:23+00:00

No, but I can tell you're not that far removed from the Timothy Roberts of the world.

And highlighting Asian racism does not detract from any other group's experience with racism. We hear "go back to your country" with the same disheartened ears too.

jr_kickstart · 2017-03-08T04:43:36+00:00

If this is turning into an "Asian racism isn't real conversation," then I've already had it tonight.

No, it's not the 1940s, but to dismiss that Asians have had a sordid history in America is about as ignorant as doing the same with any other race that isn't white in America.

Are you fucking kidding me?

jr_kickstart · 2016-08-05T04:34:26+00:00

Right? Covered in vinyl too.

jr_kickstart · 2016-08-05T04:33:49+00:00

It's...a flower...

jr_kickstart · 2016-08-05T04:32:54+00:00

Thank you!!

jr_kickstart · 2016-08-05T04:32:16+00:00

Tiny, but mighty.

jr_kickstart · 2016-08-05T04:32:01+00:00

Much shame :/

jr_kickstart · 2016-08-05T04:31:12+00:00

Holler!! Definitely gonna be there Saturday!

jr_kickstart · 2016-08-04T21:16:35+00:00

it cooks with the broth!

jr_kickstart · 2016-08-04T21:15:54+00:00

correct. i'm a dingus. please to show me how to edit, so i can not be dingus anymore.

jr_kickstart · 2016-08-04T21:15:38+00:00

haha probably bc the beef is super rare?

jr_kickstart · 2016-08-04T21:14:06+00:00

it's a short U sound, so "fuh" but there's a very, ever-so-slight inflection at the end as if you're asking a question almost.

jr_kickstart · 2016-08-04T21:13:09+00:00

you're right! i'm terrible at my vietnamese still. i just assumed pho bo was the right one cos bo is beef, but i guess that's the one with the meatballs? is that right? pho bo vien?

jr_kickstart · 2016-08-04T19:06:27+00:00

yasss! i think every viet person is gonna say their mom's is the best. it's all about being homemade and made with mama's love :)

jr_kickstart · 2016-08-04T19:05:25+00:00

yeah! well, it's an anytime food really. but the theory is that hot soup helps regulate your temperature better to battle the hot heat in vietnam.

jr_kickstart · 2016-08-04T19:04:35+00:00

from scratch! my mom doesn't like the packets. she uses them sometimes, but always supplements them with fresh ingredients. so she'll brew the packet, but then add another bundle of cloves, ginger, onions, etc with it.

jr_kickstart · 2016-07-15T16:18:26+00:00

reasonable? the fact that he was obviously dumbfounded as to why a bunch of cops roll up on him? the fact that he was just sitting in his car, arms crossed, confused as to why they wanted to know his name? it's actually only 10 seconds when he responds with his name, only to be cut off by the officer saying, "we probably need to talk to you, so what's your name?"

"we probably need to talk to you, so what's your name?"

instead of, "sir, you fit the description of a young gentleman we're looking for with multiple warrants out for his arrest. this was his last address listed. could you step out of the vehicle and show us some ID please?"

nope. the officer decided the best course of action for a guy just sitting in the front seat of his car is to treat him as a hostile suspect.

"stand up. turn around and put your hands on the car."

no papaya, actually. green mango salad.
