One thing when you’re raised in a traditional Asian home is that you learn to obey your elders. It can be a good thing, but it can also give you bad habits since your values at home will conflict with what is the norm out in White society. By obeying elders, you give them all your power and decision-making rights. This may work to keep harmony in the house, but when you do this in white society, you’re perceived as weak and a pushover. In the states, you gotta be tough, you gottta challenge the status quo, and you gotta speak up to get what’s yours. The worst thing you can be is a polite, quiet, model minority who follows orders, because most of your managers are probably white dumbasses with a lot of stupid ideas that need to be checked. You should respect your elders, but respect is earned, and if they have weak ideas, they should be challenged. It’s for everyone’s sake: yours and theirs.
Black people are really outspoken, and they get what they want. They are raised to hustle. They go for what they want, and they learn to negotiate and be persistent. Asian people tend to give up after one ‘No’, but black people will continue to push for what they want since they understand they got nothing to lose. I really respect that part of their culture. When they’re mad, they will vent. When they want the attention of a girl, they’ll act. And, many a time, they GET.
Asian people living in white society can’t be passive cuz if you are, you’ll be used and abused. People here in America only think about themselves; they don’t care about your happiness. They’ll betray you in an instant if it means happiness for themselves. So you gotta be assertive and observant always.
I hate politeness. It’s so fake, and it’s a compromise. You sell your soul every time you hold back your true feelings, and you die a slow death. You want to say it, but you can’t, and you decide to say the ‘appropriate’ and ’safe’ thing. At that moment, a part of your self dies. It’s so uninteresting to be polite; no spontaneity or personality. Stop worrying about what other people think, and learn to disagree. Disagreement is natural.

Us AA guys are raised from birth to be nice, proper, considerate, and not cause any trouble. This is the truth. Some of us grew up poor and had a unprivileged life. Our parents worked hard and we studied hard with the universal notion that education is our key to acceptance, equality, and mobility, especially in the white man’s world.
But some/most blacks are angry, pissed, and not satisfied. their upbringing and life is vastly different from AA’s. They had to deal with alot of bullshit that typical AA’s never had to face/deal with. So yeah, they had to endure and hustle their way. So typicaly they can be aggressive and have strong personalities.
Us AA, we were raised to be polite and just plain nice. boring nice. follow the rules. obey people. study hard. and stay a virgin until marriage. it’s hard to change that. even if I wanted to be hard, a thug, i just couldn’t. i’d look ridiculous. I’ve never stolen shit from grocery stores, never went to jail, and never had to HUSTLE. I always worked for my money and always followed the rules.
The main thing is that Asians DO NOT WANT TO START TROUBLE. we don’t. we just want to stay quiet and be in the background. we are not angry people. we are docile and accomodating. i’ve seen this shit. and we kiss ass to the white man. i’ve seen asians bow and cater to rich whites.
