Guest Pylades Drunk Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I can sympathize with those who appreciate the culture of a certain region. I can, maybe, even empathize with them. Is it up to them, is it some sort of necessity for them?, to grant to us some sort of gratification, some sort of approval? SRS BSNS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest koreeya Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I dont know what to think. Personally if you want to claim another culture because ur own culture doesnt give you enough reason to have pride in it...then i dont find it a problem. If you want to be something and you convince yourself that you are than nothing anyone says can take that from you. That could be the centerpoint of someones happiness. What if that person wants to be someone else for awhile because their life isnt going so great...then i say let them. If you have your freedom than i believe you should express yourself in any way you see fit and see comfortable. I dont know thats just me...

Guest ~.Linh.~ Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Well...it's not that I hate wasians xD But when I see people who aren't asian at all dressed up in an asian way...(that's some weird expression...anyone understands this?xD) then i'm like "...o.ô ....uhm..ok...?" and actually...gosh, this one really makes me scream: i<333fobby fashion and i think that's something for asians - it will always be for asians since it's called fob xD but now...clothes, everywhere!!! O_O they all dress up in a fobby way and...just a stupid thought of mine, i should be more open to things, i know xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest *hachiko* Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 i'm white and into asian culture i say random korean words i dress "fobby" my screen name is from a manga/anime/japanese movie.... you'd probably say i'm wasian except i'm proud to be white, sure i'd like to be prettier, more confident, smarter just generally not me.... but i wouldn't change my race, i just find something in korean music that i don't find in english music... although I do like uk bands too... just nothing to fangirl i say random korean words because i just spent the year there and had to speak korean everyday, i'm a korean major and sometimes korean words express things english words can't... the same way english words express things korean words can't since i spent a year in korea almost all of my clothes are korean.... can't help it unless i sell it all and buy a whole new wardrobe (which i couldn't afford if i tried) my sister started calling me this because of my resemblence to the character.... i'm very loyal and puppy like but make stupid decisions frequently... whereas she's more thick skinned than i am.... i got bored of the anime half way through but the name stuck so am i really as wasian as you'd think.... sometimes its a little bit prejudiced to start on people over something like this, yes there are people who aren't asian who are otakuish... but there are wannabes in every culture can't people just live and let live in this world? if you're not black and act black people start on you the same thing goes for people who act white or asian etc its kinda predujiced and just not nice i just don't get why people can't just accept things in this world.... and things are rarely as simple as they seem...

Guest vicroyalty Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 better get use to it because its going to envelope the world soon. everyone will be wanting or trying to be asian soon. east asia will dominate politically, economically, and socially and it will be unavoidable whereas right now, ppl actually have to seek out asian stuff... soon its gonna be in your faceeeeeee and it will be the norm. questions like these will be unasked as it will be expected.

Guest HelloJinkyGo Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 i find hardcore wasians annoying i dont mind if someone whos not asian listen to asian music and watch asian movies but i cant stand it when they start "speaking asian" ( i understand that asian is not a language, this is just what i hear wasians say) koneeecheeewaaahh, "harold-san,kumar-chan", bowing upon meeting a friend, drinking tea "the proper way" meaning as tho youre taking part in a japanese tea ceremony when in reality youre in olive garden, "thats kawaiii!" *peace sign*, upon arrival *peace sign*, dreaming of wearing a kimono especially at your wedding, etc. another thing i noticed about these people is that when they see an asian kid listening to american music or an asian who doesnt like anime they say something along the lines of " i hate it when people cant embrace their own culture. be proud of who you are, why do they have to pretend theyre something theyre not! theyre asian , asians are cool. be proud to be asian!" this of course is very hypocritical but they often fail to notice. they want asian names cos only asian names have meanings.......are you kidding me?! " i wish i was asian! american cartoons are stupid! the only good ones are based on japanese ones!"-----o yea! thats a good reason to want to switch ethnicities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest monVIP Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 interest in the asian culture is fine. obsession and the mindset that you ARE asian (or anything else for that matter) is a lil strange, no? anyway wannabe's in general annoy me, but if they like what they like and theyre happy, who am i to judge? its not like its affecting me. and to milkylee: music is universal. if people only listened to music for the lyrics, then there would be no classical, trance, house, etc, genres will there? your post makes us asians (and yourself) look like retards.

Guest gal-bi Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 i think its alright if people say random asian words and dress "fob" but what gets me is an asian tries to be wasian... it doesnt even make sense... shes chinese and shes obsessed with being ALL the asian cultures == Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HelloJinkyGo Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 omgz everyone needs to just shush! white ppl who speak random words in teh asian language, SPECIFICALLY kawaii, konnichiwa, arigatou or sumfink korean like oppa, are LAME and rather infelicitous everyone knows it ppl are just too politically correct to say it white ppl who eat poky are stupid there are better things out there den pocky!! wasians are so lame and there are heaps of this forum if you cant speak korean why listen to korean music you dun even know what theyre saying it could be burn all white ppl and you just think you look cool n dun be all like "well i get translations off the internets" because thats still lame you still dont understand what words theyre speaking and alot of asian languages dont translate well into english no im not racist i just hate wannabes and freaks who are obsessed with our culture .. *rolls eyez* get ova it! you cant be as cute and sexy as us lil asians so beat it! before you go on a rant about something and try to prove a point, make sure you dont make stupid mistakes. mistakes that the people youre bashing commonly make ASIAN IS NOT A LANGUAGE secondly, wasians arent just white *sigh* a lot of people dont speak spanish and yet salsa clubs are all over the place some asian people who cant speak english listen to english music b/c they like english music and/or theyre trying to learn english and pocky is really good and is sold everywhere so i dont really know what youre trying to say.... o i think i get it, like -ASIAN PEOPLE OUT THERE! NO MORE EATING TACO BELL! YOURE NOT HISPANIC! STOP TRYING TO BE HISPANIC! STICK TO DUMPLINGS! dont worry i got you ;P your argument seems to target mainly white people and not WASIAN---there IS a difference eating something of another culture doesnt make you wasian. this whole rant is filled with holes how old are you? please educate yourself before you make judgements on other people p.s. im asian so dont try to use an excuse thinking i must be white which is the only reason why id argue against you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest teukiechul Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 what kind of korean music are you listening to? of course there is a lot of happy music but there is no limit in music. musicians make music depicting real human emotion- happiness, sadness, love, hate, greed, etc. so youre saying that koreans are incapable of writing music that truly touch people and are basically unrelatable....? kiss- because i am a girl korean song made by korean people- the saddest song ever made im listening to super junior, big bang, dbsk stuff like that. heyy, stop trying to argue with me. LOL. im not saying that koreans cant write touching music *rolls eyes* im just saying that korean music is much happier since most english songs that are realised nowerdays are about how crud their lives are and how they wish they could change and all that.. if your living in england and you turn on the radio then all you will hear are sad, depressing songs. im not saying that all songs are like that but most of them are. in the top 40 music charts here, most of them are about failed reletionships. but when you compare that to a korean chart then you will see the difference... of course koreans write touching music. you should really find out more information about the poster instead of just assuming they know nothing about music......

Guest onino Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I'm a big fan of asian music, movies and dramas love the music because i love the meaning of asian songs!...like love songs!...love it and asian dramas and movies because asians are great actors and i love the stories in the movies/dramas!... Im RPOUD of being arab, and just because i don't watch too much arabic movies or listen to arabic music that doesn't mean i hate it!..
