When you don't inherit your ethnic culture anymore

I've had so many random stereotypes thrown at me, it's sometimes even funny.

But seriously, like Ulysses said, make your actions speak for you, and people will respect you for that.

Both my parents, both Korean, are very strict about their culture. They even go as far as telling me that I should only marry a Korean girl, which I find ridiculous. I was born and raised in America, so I consider myself more American than anything else. But it's good to embrace your other culture though. You have the sense of "uniqueness".

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No thanks, I prefer to think for myself rather than carry around some blind pride for something. I prefer to be proud of things for which I worked, not things which were given to me.

A biological conspiracy huh?
