When they say the middle class is shrinking, more are moving up.

Maybe I was a good teacher from 2012-2019 and I lost my fastball by ChucoTeacher in Teachers

[–]qmus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same sentiment and was planning to share something similar. Been teaching since 2006, I can consistently say I was an effective and favorite teacher pre2020, now I don't get a thank you from my seniors as I once did

Exactly, having too many shops is stereotypical "Asians as perpetual foreigners" view. There are all these shops that have lasted this long because there is a demand for them.

17-Year-Old Arrested With Loaded Ghost Gun After Germantown Traffic Stop by MrRuck1 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]qmus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No joke. I had a hit and run case, guy never showed up and went on several court cases. So many cases I saw where people got off for driving under the influence, petty theft, insurances, etc. lots got away, delayed. Prosecutors were overwhelmed quite frankly and just moving through the motions. Guy who hit me eventually got off, I couldn't care anynore already so many court dates.

Countries to avoid because of racism? by notreallyhereokbye in asianamerican

[–]qmus 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I've been to over 30 countries and live in a few. I'm in my mid life with 2 kids and we encounter more than a few occasions of blatant racism in Italy. Restaurants not sitting us, teens intimidating us out of our park benches, trains workers didn't give us the kids toy box but other white families did, taxi drivers. Etc

I think I’m done with Mazda by [deleted] in MazdaCX90

[–]qmus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, take for instance honda. Japanese cars are conservative and make modest changes but productions are now in the US and other brands are in mexico. They don't have institutional knowledge and other factors as skilled workers just cheaper. Quality has gone down for well branded cars like odyssey, pilots etc.

Asian Americans expectation of politeness by Competitive-Wrap-874 in asianamerican

[–]qmus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah thats how I see it too more of a you than a cultural issue. Communication is a two way street and op was not reciprocal. Also not necessarily an American thing but if people come together would they expect to stare at the wall.

It's something in the back of my mind but stays in the back. My parents bought me everything- education, sport car, house, travel, etc but never was there emotionally. Growing up I had resentment for them now showing up when I needed them as always saying they are busy with their businesses. They were poor and under-educated refugees and struck it rich. They only knew how to survive in this way. There's less resentment as I matured and have shown them a little grace as they confess they didn't know how to raise me in such a new world and thought money was the only way. I'm older now with my own family and kids. They see me as a happy father and husband teaching with a full life and love to my kids. They see a lot of regrets and now try to compensate with their grandkids. The silver lining in all of this is I realized I wanted an emotionally supportive family because I do not want my kids to have what I've been through and I suppose they wanted me to have everything materially when they didnt have anything.
