I thought this was an eye-opening look at how problematically us white people tend to homogenize Asians into a monolithic entity without any care towards them. We otherize them, and indeed one can spot how the male gaze tends to affect how Asian women are seen in our society.

It's a little bit simpler than this. You have high-caliber Asians, like Japanese, Singaporeans, whichever Chinese aren't Han, South Korea, etc. Everything else is low-caliber Asian. Middle ground (not awful like, say, Laos, but def not on Singapore level) is Thai & Phillipines, though that last one is a stretch only because I know some cool Filipinos.

e: ^^^ yeah there was that "I am a japanese schoolteacher" blog I read back in highschool about a black dude doing the JET program and surprise surprise there's really overt racism against people who aren't part of the major ethnic group everywhere. One of my favorite parts is he was asked about how many guns he owned on several occasions.

Do people actually ask any of those questions anymore? Like I grew up in seattle so we have a pretty large asian population but I can't even think of a time when someone was asked that unless they were an obvious 1st generation like an exchange student or something. I work with a lot of people from india and china who moved over here for school/work in their 20's and showing genuine interest in their home and culture isn't something anyone is offended by or doesn't like talking about.

I dunno this video seems a bit prejudice against white people imo, some very problematic generalizations.

Yeah I mean we got plenty of nerdy guys who fetishize asian women up here but comments on chopsticks (really who doesn't know how to use chopsticks in 2014) and complementing someone for not having an accent are things I literally can't even recall once incident of happening.

you know now that I think about it, I guess I don't get intentional stuff like that, but I always get mistaken for other asian guys. like I'm filipino, I shave my head, and I'm about 6' and I kept getting mistaken for this korean guy that had long hair with highlights and was like 5'4"

I always thought it was an advantage rather than a handicap though

The good thing about being filipino though is that you can claim to be just about any ethnicity in the world except black or white and people will be like, "oh yeah"

I know a black guy who gets regularly mistaken for a Phillipino, he doesn't much care for it.

...and what about the kick in the groin?

Whenever I see this I feel compelled to tell this story:

This song was big in Italy when my mother went back to her town. She had just learned English and her cousins were begging her to translate the song.

She said, it's not English, it's bullshit. They didn't believe it.

Celentano did this song as a jab at Italians who loved any foreign language song without knowing what the meaning was. So he said he can do a song in "English" and make it a hit. It was.

My GF tried to give me poo poo about something like this the other day, but it's not like I really know and/or give a gently caress about the big differences between Germans, French, or whatever random European country some white jackass is from or what they do over there.

Not that I expect anyone to give a poo poo exactly where I'm from and what that means.

Asians have got to be the most bullshit people ever. "Why do you only hang out with other Asians" is a perfectly valid, if socially ungraceful question to ask. They get pissy bc the reasons they stick to their own kind are backwards - arrogance, a superiority complex and a fear of outsiders that is negated by the safety-in-numbers thing. And please let's not get started on the "woe is me, people won't date me"/"sexual racism targets Asians!" when Asians are happy to dole out the same prejudices to non-white races bc for some reason Asians crave that sweet white cock/pussy.
