Hmm. My opinion on it is that you are correct. Now, I might not be full blown asian but am partly...now here is how I am going to explain it. "WOOO. I AM A PERSON. WOOOO. I AM PART ASIAN PRAISE ME." (Please, anyone who actually does that, go shoot yourself in the face, and if that doesnt kill you, shove your head in a toilet until you drown. Alright, thanks)

I hate it in itself when people try to "act black", which is insulting in itself. Its even worse though when people make fun of people "acting black". That is just to the downright level of annoying.

And your brother actually does that O.o...
I am so sorry.
 

My heritage is German and French. And I am proud of the German part mostly. But I do not go around claiming that I am full-blooded German and I speak the language fluently. But I do speak German. My nickname, as most can tell by my Myspace and Deviantart pages is Ryoko. I love anime and Japanese culture, and speak a tiny bit of Japanese. (a very tiny bit)But this being, I don't try to imitate something I'm not. I really dislike when people do that. It means that you are not being true to yourself, even if you do hate yourself with the way you are...If you pretend to be someone else, would you hate yourself then too? Yes.

I am a lot like the manga character I draw, (Ryoko. I am nicknamed for her. XD) except for the part that I am not half-Asian. But that's okay with me, because that's just a manga. Not everyone was born the way they want to be but they don't have to lie to themselves because the causes more trauma in the end.

lol...what's your position on whitewash or twinkies? IE. me XD

thankfully though, my college doesn't have that many posers...despite the fact that many are younger then me or my age, but my high school had a shitload of white people acting black, and were grammatically challenged as well...

as for white people acting asian...well...I know this is mean but...anime conventions...me and bojan....find it hard not to laugh at some of the people there...

bah anyways, I shouldn't even be here...fucking homework...
 

I can relate to kinda of what your saying, but on the other hand I would really have to admitt that you went over the line. I'm as Japanese as you can get, I speak the language can't read it to save my life though. I moved here when I was eight years old spoke it daily so never lost the tongue to speak it but can't read it at all. Would that make me a white wash? Living in California I also learned to speak Spanglish (Non proper spanish that's used by most mexicans living in sourthern california). I'm just a little concerned about younger Asian people today and their mentality. Good to see that you have alot of pride for your asian heritage though.
 

haha..this is the greatest rant (philosophical approach to assholes) that I have seen thus far. :)

why did i not get around to it sooner?? oh right, I can't possibly keep myself updated on myspace...that's another topic you should write about...why is myspace so serious?? if you write a blog about it, let me know, and I will definitely read it.

xo
 

"fuh-get about it". thats the most Italian thing I can say right this second without thinking more.
 

xD! I'm Italian-American, so that part about you're brother cracked me up, lol. Anyways, I get what you are saying, The only time I put my location to someplace in japan, is because I do rp, and I don't want a location that looks like this:



<center>Age: 16

Location: Amagakyure-nosato, Arizona.



Now, that would be stupid seeing as in the Naruto Anime, Amagakyure is a very raining area, and face it.. the closest thing to rain in Arizona is when you spray a garden hose at the sky, and drops of water come down. :p
 

I agree, but what really pisses me off, is that in california, everybody thinks hat if their mexican... their special... and they always act as if they have a hard life, when their freakin spoiled, they just asume that all mexicans had a hard life so they act that way... thanks alot stereotypes...
 

sorry about that, the people i was talking about was like 8 students in my class.
 

sorry about my last comment.... its *that... not hat
 

Almost everyones a sterotype, its just the sad truth, it only shows there stupidity as humans
 

sorry i probaly shouldnt have been so mean about it
 

yeah stupid anime kids really do piss me off when see stuff like that like their love for anime some how justifies for them to act that way, it would take the edge off i guess if the lived in japan and came back to the states and what not with that metallity but it does indeed piss me off to when a person knows nothing about a races culture history ect and thus begin to act like that a certain way cause the went to a rap concert or they saw last weeks episode of naruto ... dumb people
 

lol! i fully agree. now i myself am very interested in the japanese coulture. and on my myspace i have a few japanese placements and such, but those are for privacy purposes. also, i've never once said that i'm japanese, prior to or after attempting to learn the language. [which btw isn't as easy as it seems.] i also agree on the part of JAPAN ISN'T WHAT IT IS IN ANIME. for those who beg to differ: piss on u. the italian thing was hilarious, seeing as how i am 3/4 italian, but also a very white girl. and yes, the white got black thing bugs me too. and where i live, there are a lot of mexicans. adn everybody wants to act mexican and talk spanish to get noticed.

equally annoyed.

ghost.
 

Tragically, people are people... who enjoy mental perceptions of reality. Let people do as they please, it is rather amusing.
 

Hurr, hurr...I finally realized that you do indeed have a myspace. I'm a lazy bum. You don't know me, but your Trinity Blood wallpaper knows my desktop. Close enough.

I had it a little differently--I was raised in an entirely white (Germanic/Irish/Finnish/Norwegian) family, so I never really saw myself as anything. I knew I was Asian, but it never really 'clicked' in my mind, at least until last summer when I went to a month long program at a college for minorities. There I met other 'kids like me' for the first time in my life, and I realized that WOW. I wasn't alone, and not a freak. My hair isn't weird for not curling like everyone else's, and the fact that my nose is really flat is adorable according the the guys at the program. That was an ego boost.

But yes. I'm a rather quiet and conservative person when I'm out with my friends in public (key word--public), and if they start acting anything other than themselves, I pretty much meld with the seat. Cushion and Korean become one--inseparable, like cat fur and bubble gum. Eww.

Don't worry about your brother though. It's a common occurrence with males that they lose brain particles between the ages of 12 and 22. They regain them after they have children of their own (usually (on occasion (or not))). Just walk 20 feet away from him and pretend you don't know him. That's what I do with my family. Joking. :)
 

mann that is sooo true i cant stand that and they start using famous phrases like "baka" and stuff
i only use it as an alias for roleplay but im completely fine with being my original ethnic background which is african-american

finally someone feels the same :D
 

This is totally, and completely true deal right here. (Yeah I have to rant about this too) My neighbor, I won't mention any names...*cough*its Omar*cough* is the whitest Arabic person I have ever seen. He's also a year younger than me. He claims to be Asian, which he obviously...not.
Me and my other Asian friend, Gary have argued with Omar quite a few times. He thinks he's Asian just because Syria(sp?) is in Asia. He was born in Santa Ana. That's like 50 bajillion miles away from Asia. I'll make a RE: to this blog. Gotta rant on this stuff. =]
 

I totally agree with you. XD...
 

I know this is terribly late but thanks for pointing out how some people want to be something else other then themselves.......dumbasses they are at times, and I hate it when people especially want to be asian just because of the martial arts they see in movies and such, it hurts and pisses me off to seeing people who just want to be like that and ask me "your asian, you should know kung fu or something..."....
