I will first and for most state this: I have Asian pride. I am proud to be Chinese, and I have never and will never ever wish that I was any other race. I am proud of my race, despite our flaws. We have come a long way, however, so have other minority races, so this does not make us better than or different from the rest.
Now I say this: I hate going to Asian social events. It's not because Asians go to these things, it's the type of Asians these events tend to attract. From hereonin this entry, when I refer to these types of Asians, I refer to the following: Although most of them were born, bred or raised in North America, they somehow detach themselves from their actual nationality and become stuck-up sons of bitches who feel like we have to band together to fight an imaginary war of foolish pride and petty differences from the rest of the world. I will probably first define myself by my nationality and then my ethnicity, because although being ethnically Asian is part definition of myself, politically- and socially-speaking, I do hold a lot more 'Canadian' values over say, Asian values.
At my age, I am only lucky to find several people who still have the energy and will to go clubbing. I know, I know. Sooner or later my age will catch up with my brain and I will outgrow this phase, but just let me have my stupid fun for now. The select few that I am able to go clubbing with happen to be mostly Asian, and they always want to "go where the Asians are". Here comes my Pet Peeve with Asians #1: Asian guys only want Asian girls. It drives me insane, because not only have they not even bothered to try to even hit on girls of different races, they won't even consider it because they have a pre-conceived notion that there's no point. Apparently being Asian is a losing factor. This is not to say that all Asian guys are like this (and I applaud those who aren't) but I haven't found alot that aren't like this.
Pet Peeve with Asians #2: We all look the same. And I'm not just talking about our basic features: almond-shaped squinty eyes, mono lids, flat faces, unbridged noses, pale yellow skin tone, black hair. I'm talking about how we all present ourselves as individuals (which ironically, makes us become the opposite). On women, thick black winged eyeliner (to hide the mono lid), dyed reddish-brown hair, stick-straight thinned hair, short-ass skirts, tall black heels (hardly see any other colour), fake eye lashes, some sort of black dress. On men: Affliction or Ed Hardy shirts (hatehatehate!)/some other tight t-shirt (black and/or white only), a belt with an obnoxious buckle, spiked black hair, silver chain (are we still rocking these circa 2000?), one earring, and a fucking Blackberry. Individuality will get you nowhere in these crowds.
Every race has their stereotypes, and we would be lying to deny that they are just that. To say that stereotypes are horrible lies, is like denying that there is any weakness in one's race. That's just foolish pride. Too many of these types of Asians have this pride so far up their ass that their perception of a 'real' Asian becomes a monotonous pattern of conformity and in-distinction. I recently had the disgusting pleasure of socializing with said individuals and I wanted to throw punches.
In a nutshell, their perception of how an Asian should 'be' truly gave me a moment of embarrassment that we came from the same ancestors. One thing that really irked me was their notion that Asian women are generally to be a certain height (not much taller than 5 feet) and of a certain size (petite, not much heavier than 100 lbs). I admit, I do conform to most of these ratios (but I have wonderfully shaped boobs and ass, no lyin'), but I know plenty of Asian women who don't and I thought these statements were truly blasphemous and ignorant. We are all creatures of Mother Nature and in the wild, these so-called bigger Asian women would eat us petite Asian bitches alive. If an Asian woman has the same body type of say, a white woman, does that make her less Asian?
Why do flat-chested, no-ass Asian chicks have to hate on us proportionately-size chested and booty-shaking Asian chicks?
Pet Peeve with Asians #3: Materialism. It's not the fact that we want to be seen with certain material goods, it's the lengths that one will go through to at least look it. It's no wonder that Asia is the largest exporters of counterfeit designer goods. The amount of fake Guccis and Louis I see at clubs is truly laughable.
My list of Peeves can go on and on and while it might sound like I am disgusted with my race, I am only really disgusted with certain individuals of my race. Similarly, there are probably these types of individuals in other races, and they would probably drive me as crazy as much as the Asian ones do. I should really cluster these sorts into one category for the sake of argument: Sheeple.
