"3 chicks at the same time...I love Korea, but most of all, Korea loves me"

In the old days, American men had bridal catalogs of foreign Asian women – those who were willing to come to the U.S. through marriage to a white man. Of course they still have these even today but they mostly target Eastern European women such as Russia and the Czech Republic. But nowadays, white men go directly to Asia…to “teach” English!

White men who join “English Teachers” organizations that take them to Asian countries to become English “teachers” pretty much go there to get laid by as many Asian women as possible, teach them the ABC’s, and bring them back to marry. Not all but most. It’s the perfect setup – room and board are paid for, they get a salary, and in the meantime, they get to enjoy a buffet of Asian hotties who view the western man as the sexiest thing since George Clooney. And I assure you, these white fellows get plenty of ass down in Japan, Korea, and all over China. Do these men go to the Phillipines or Vietnam? Hells no! If they go, they want the best poon that the ABC’s can buy and the best of course reside in East Asia. To them, East Asia is like a giant pussy, just waiting for them, with their short bowl-legged legs spread apart, with tattoos all along it saying “This Way John Doe!”

Granted…there are white men who actually sincerely love the Asian culture and the people and just want to be a part of it. I can respect that. They learn the language, learn to speak it, and learn its rich history, all the while, being respectful to Asian peeps. But even they want a little raw sushi from time to time, so they end up dating the native Asian women. I mean, why not? I would too if I was them. So I don’t blame them.

What sucks I think is that sometimes, I think these Asian women just make it too easy for these white men. The word spreads around and white men flock to these countries. It’s like the organizations that set up these joints are advertising: “$800 airfare to Japan, room & board all paid for, professional English institute environment, and unlimited tight Asian vaginas ready for you to pummel”.

I’ve never heard of an Asian boy coming to the U.s. to teach Korean and getting laid by hundreds of beautiful DD blonds. Have you? No…they come here, can barely speak English, starting taking classes for the TOEFL, and end up only hanging out with other Asian male virgins. None of them ever even try to date a hot white girl. Shit, they can barely talk. They all sound like Shorty from Indian Jones – “doctor jones! doctor jones!”

Racial slurs bug me: Jay-Z is wrong

I saw an interesting interview of JAY-Z on TV the other day.  The interviewer said that Barrack Obama thinks that blacks should stop calling each other ‘nigga’.  Jay-Z disagreed, and said it in another interview as well:

“People give words power. For our generation, what we did is that we took the word, and we took the power out of that word. We took a word that was very ugly and hurtful into a term of endearment,” Jay-Z said Thursday.

Jay-Z is referring to the fact that brothas will call each other ‘nigga’, kind of like they used to say ‘homie’. He thinks by doing that, they have somehow taken the power out of the word.   ?????

I totally disagree. If your buddies call you ‘nigga’, and that’s how you greet each other, then you might be all cool with it.  But, if some angry redneck called a black guy ‘nigger’ out of the blue, you know that brotha is gonna be mad as hell!  Same goes for Jay-Z; he’d be furious, and start throwing punches!

My point is that Jay-Z hasn’t taken any power out of the word.  Read the rest of this entry »

Why are you so polite SAM?

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.

Sushi is the rage.  Sushi is exotic, it’s delicious, it’s classy, and it’s cool.  Every major city in the US now has sushi, and Seattle is no exception.  People here love it!  There’s not only classic sushi restaurants, but also three or four conveyor-belt sushi chains.  The demand is so high!  Now, every now and then, there will be talk about which sushi restaurants people like, and you know how outspoken white people are!  They love to voice their opinions, and they’ll start telling me which sushi restaurants are their favorites. “Oh, you gotta try Mashiko!  It’s the best!”  Or, “My favorite place is Hiroshi’s” or “Wasabi Bistro is the best sushi in town!”.  Now, I have had an open mind and have taken their word and tried these various places my Caucasian friends and coworkers have told me about.  And sure enough, I’m disappointed every fuckin’ time!

Conclusion.  White people don’t know sushi.  Just like you don’t ask a black man to teach you how to swim, you don’t ask a white person to tell you where to get the best raw fish.  Read the rest of this entry »

I quietly agree…NOT!

I read an interesting book on the fear of confrontation, and the effects of what happens when you don’t speak up.  I never thought about it, but in the USA, if you don’t speak up, it implies to others that you agree with them.  Whether you’re in a group of friends or at work, if you sit there quietly and don’t voice your opinion, it is implied that you agree with the opinions of the outspoken ones.  I didn’t really realize this.  In my Japanese American upbringing, I somehow learned to be non-confrontational, and I would be quiet even when I disagreed with what was going on.  I’ve been this way since childhood, and it’s only recently that I realized what I was doing, and what that implies here in the states.  In Japan, I think silence can mean both agreement and disagreement.  But in the states, I guess it’s viewed as agreement. So, basically, I have been misunderstood all these years!  Shit.

What this means to me is that I have to speak up and assert my differences wherever I am.  Not to confront, but to voice my opinion just so people don’t assume I agree with everyone.  More often than not I disagree.  In Japan, people are very good at sensing what others feel and think.  They are almost telepathic.  Here in the states, people are so self-centered that they can’t imagine what is going on in other people’s heads.  So, in a culture like this, you gotta speak up, SAM.

I see these SAMs way too often.  Underachievers.  Just getting by.  Sure, many of them are successful in some aspect of their lives; they have a good career with a good salary.  They have a few loyal SAM friends who gather every Friday and Saturday.  They wear nice threads, and drive a nice car sometimes.  But, they know it, you know it, and everyone knows it; they are missing something in their lives.  Now, I’m not just talking about a woman.  I’m talking about confidence and a positive outlook.  Because, when you have that, you are truly happy and feel in control of life.

Many of us are young, healthy, intelligent, and handsome.  Yet, we settle.  Why?  Because many of us were taught to play it safe, play by the rules, and avoid risks.  Our Asian parents wanted us to succeed so much that they kept us on a predictable, straight and proven path for success. In hindsight, that path didn’t lead to success, and many SAMs who followed that path are living a life of regret.  Money and a degree don’t equate to happiness.  And, without taking risks, life becomes dull and predictable, and you feel no sense of challenge.  There is no rush.  And, if you don’t take risks, you never fail, and therefore you never really learn.

A lot of about what makes people happy is how they interact and feel in society.  How comfortable you are, how open and free you feel, and how connected you feel.  Many AAs are raised in solitude, focusing only on their own well-being, and thus become disconnected and awkward.  I know I felt this, and still do at times.  I was so focused on my studies and work, it was hard for me to develop as a confident man outside of work.  It’s easy to succeed at work because there are roles, and you just fill them and do your tasks.  Out in society, you have to improvise as there is more freedom of expression.  SAMs can sometimes feel awkward because they aren’t used to the lack of structure.  So, they will compensate and be very polite, avoid confrontation, and try to play the role of ‘model minority’.  This is a big mistake since you’re not expressing your true nature, and you essentially repress your true character and charm.  People just see you as the ‘nice guy’, and you blend in with the background like you’re wallpaper.

Lately, I see this guy everywhere.  He’s in a movie called HANGOVER, he’s on a new sitcom with Chevy Chase called COMMUNITY on NBC.  I guess he’s kind of funny, but he does the same thing a lot of other Asian comedians do: they ONLY make fun of Asian people!  This has got to stop.  It’s making us look bad.  If you watch this video, he makes a little fun of his own kind, Koreans, but he goes way over the top with Vietnamese.  He’s antagonizing Vietnamese with his humor, further creating rifts between the different Asian groups.  His humor is a little too mean, and lacks subtlety IMO.  He’s also repetitive and lacks a deep repertoire.  I saw three videos of him at different periods, and he says the same jokes every time.  And the ones he repeats are average.  I think he is getting the attention because of his over the top energy, and his facial expressions, and the fact that he will gladly take any role even if it is demeaning to the Asian image.    He’s the go to guy when the white movie producers need to make fun of an Asian guy. For that reason, I don’t like him.

When you make fun of your fellow Asians within an only Asian crowd it might be funny.  But, once you have other races watching, it becomes a situation where they are not laughing with you, but at you.  This is the dilemma that David Chapelle had: he got so popular with the whites, and then he realized that they were laughing at him just as much as ‘with him’.  But, the great thing about black humor is that they will make fun of themselves, but they will also make fun of white people, too.  They have the confidence to go there.  I think Asian American comedians that are out there are still afraid to go there.  But, unless they do this, we will continue to be the butt end of the jokes.

(Warning: This post is Rated X.)

Porn. What can I say about it? We all love it. In fact, I’d like to refer to it as “Adult Entertainment” and not smut. Porn has acclimated itself and has gained a more mainstream presence in today’s society, pop culture, and adult entertainment. It’s not seen as dirty and perverted anymore. And porn has gone global and has been internationalized across all cultural and racial boundaries, thanks to the Internet. When I was growing up, I only got to see white porn and the occasional “Swedish Eroticas”, which were lame. Then when the internet came, it was like the Pandroa’s box had opened up and all boy’s zippers on their pants opened up as well. The point is, ladies and gentleman, that porn, for lack of a better word, is good, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Porn, in all of its forms, porn for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind.

Having said that, American porn is kind of the norm in the porn industry. But what is up with Japanese porn? It seems they take porn to the next level. You know what I’m talking about: Fishes, squids, cup in the middle, grabbing women in public, groping women in subway trains, bukkake, and other “deviant” acts I won’t utter. Porn is porn, but damn, the Japs take it to some nasty freaky levels that I just don’t see in other countries or cultures…uhh, except the Netherlands. Why is that? Has the normal or common sex practices became commonplace for them? Of all the Asian countries, I think the Japs are the most open about sex and they have the most extreme forms of it. Japanese porn stars in Japan are treated like rock stars and they have a huge following from their fans. I mean, you can buy their soiled panties in vending machines! WTF? All I can buy in vending machines here in America are a bag of Doritos and Oreos. The Japs are sex freaks! In the early days, they just wanted to conquer countries and civilizations and basically put Korea and China through hell. Nowadays, the Japs just want to develop humanlike dolls so lonely men can penetrate and watch little school girls in anime get impaled by monsters with huge monster dicks. What happened?
