I understand rebound's aren't always a bad thing but I'm at that point where I don't want to deal with people still having feelings for their past lovers.
haha yeah I feel you.

I know there are stereotypes, but I never asked what exactly they might be. I can go ask one of my girls and bring back an answer. My guess is that Canadians and Europeans are shoved into together. At least that's my guess.
Whatever their Asian American stereotype is, I probably defy them like crazy. I'm a Chinese guy humming Bohemian Rhapsody on his way to work.
Really? That seems to be the opposite for me. Then again, if they were talking shit about me, they wouldn't say it to my face. You see, I'm told to speak English so they think you're a foreigner, so they would treat you better.
I've also been told if you call the police, the police would come faster if you were a foreigner.

I have to understand that she's also 19. She still has a long time to figure out her priorities. The same still applies to me but I've learned to figure out and deal with mine's. But don't go on IG and start blasting your feelings for your ex and NOT expect me to see it, fam
Yea I mean, like I said you'd know better than me. My few experiences with ABCs they tend to have had lots of expectations of being Chinese heaped upon them. It could also be because I'm with them, and if I'm speaking better Chinese than they are then maybe local Chinese think that the ABC is losing face for the Chinese race or something? Who knows?
And yep the police are super helpful every time I've needed them. Always side with me😂

Probably, fam. But I've removed everything about her from my phone and IG. Don't be needing that in my life.
Aw fuck..... I just realized that if my family friend hangs out with us anytime soon she's going to want to ask me question's and shit.

The stereotype for American Born Chinese is that they can't speak Chinese at all.
Or we joke about their American accent as trying to be western.
I forgot whether we think they think they're better than us or not.
Edit: I should mention those were like from the last decade, I don't know if perception has changed.

Idk about universal stereotypes but if we're talking anecdata time? Anecdata time!
Asian Americans /Canadians/ Europeans/ Australians are usually seen as not true asians in Asia. Like somehow we're converted and made different by the evul western values and principles. Or that's as much as I can tell from the few friends of mine that are honest enough to talk to me about it... Basically I ask them, like, "Do you think I've changed since I've moved to Australia?"
Most of them said that I've become more individualistic. Their code word for being selfish and outspoken, i guess???
Maybe the fact that I'm an Asian girl compounds the effect? Idk. It's anecdata, so don't take it as truthfacts :3
But yeah... I used to be more uhhh deferring to older people and male authorities when was younger but obviously not as much now.

^ I think the word they might be looking for is "independent". Especially if you're moving and living by yourself then of course you'll end up having to make decisions by yourself more.
Well don't worry about it, i find more people complaining about Mainland Chinese than ABCs. Parents still want to send their kids to the west to study so it's not like they're against the idea.

I just don't like the idea of think who is superior to who. Trust me, there are a ton of things people in mainland china does that pisses me off. I tried to remain humble as best as I can, because if I didn't have the opportunity to grow up abroad, I wonder if I would pick up the bad habits.

I find it very hard to avoid completely even if you know it's there. But in the end the lesson I took away is that its fine to have pride in where you come from as Long as you also acknowledge there are other things other people do better and you should learn from them to improve yourself.
I have to admit, I am enjoying the drama and turn of events in that beer run gf thread.
Say what you will about mainlanders, but their squatting game is on point. I admire that.

Just tell it like it is.
It's not just asian women, or women in general. It's everyone.
Some people basically are just _______ where it benefits them and they are very willing to compromise their principles and let it slide if comes from the person he/she likes.
Rebound is almost, always a bad thing. You did good here.

Sounds good to me. The pics you guys post from there always look amazing.EXCUSE ME AS A REAL ASIAN GIRL I WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING.
Hello y'all <3
I'm free Saturday for dinner. Let's eat! If you want to drop a bit of $$$ (like $60~), we can eat my favorite sushi in OC. Otherwise, pick a spot in SGV (but no hotpot please :<).
I do have a dentist appointment at 5, though, so I think 7-ish or later would be better for me. Where is the place?
Anyone else want to come? =)
Whyyyy do you tell people to hurt themselves? >_<

Stay caping for a shitty government only because it is an Chinese one against a white one? I mean why even defend the CPC? Fuck Donald Trump and the US has long been hypocritical, the world knows this and I always respect your posts Bunny, but you're Taiwanese-American, you don't need to defend Beijing here. Your entire responses can be summed as yeah it's bad but so are others ie. Whataboutism.
And yeah I know the tendency to downplay asian advancements, the 'yellow peril' threat, and how they use China to portray asians as evil but you'll never find me defending the modern Chinese government or ever portray it as good or on even footing with others.
Saturday? I actually might be doing something that day but if I end up being done before it's time for this I'll let you know.

Soya sauce chicken is the one that's served by that food stall in Singapore that earned a Michelin star
Where's is that one?
Name: Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice and Noodle
Add: Blk 335, Smith Street #02-126, Chinatown Food Complex
He opened a new outlet at 78 Smith Street, the name was called "Liao Fan Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice and Noodle "
他妈的...I stayed in that area for a couple of days with two friends and didn't run into that one

Singapore is small, even if you stay at the furthest end of my country, it's still within an hour trip to reach there!
I'll be happy to let you know how good it taste when I'm free

Nothing more disappointing than a bowl of noodles that looks good but tastes meh.
Yup, makes me really mad whenever that happens.
Oh look, a tasty bowl of noodles? Nope, broth is lukewarm and flavorless, and noodles aren't cooked properly
