"You don't act your race/age/etc etc."

I don't speak ching chan talk and I'm the most Asian person most of my friends know. Who are also Asian.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

He probably is. We have a lot of them running around this board.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Worst kind of racists ever...

Any self race deprecating person is. I just always find it hilarious that they hate their "asianness", but usually has a hard-on for anything Japanese.

Note. Bleach. Sig. And I'd add Spatula on that list.

Most amazing jew boots

Then you're Asian Australian. Except maybe your real ethnicity is Chinese or Vietnamese or some "garbage" Asian category, not an awesome Asian like Japanese or Korean which are so much more desirable.

Just liking Japanese anime and music doesn't give you a default "I'm totally proud of my ethnicity" card. And I don't think anyone here thinks you hate Asians, just that you wish you weren't one.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

BTW, I'm Taiwanese. Also, what do you have against "garbage" Chinese/Viets anyway?

I don't. I was being ironic.

Different Asian cultures hold different values. My family's Chinese values are different than Japanese values and I'm only proud of mine. So by saying you're proud of Asian values doesn't bode well to your attachment to your culture.

Whatever, it's your life, it doesn't concern me. I'm just calling it how I see it.

I was speaking idiomatically.
