I'm pretty fond of my family and other Viet friends, but I have a general disgust toward the Vietnamese people, and Asians as a whole. Savages (some may called alphas?), uneducated, loud, unrefined and generally very short-sighted. There are more people dying by traffic accidents every week than all the terror attacks combined. That truck who killed 70+ people in France? Been there, seen it every month going to school. I still remember the guts and bloods spilled all over the road, and the screaming victims with their legs chewed up under the wreckage. And nobody would help because they are afraid of being implicated. I was 13.

Many restaurants and food shops are polluted and used ingredients from places you would have to cover your nose if you walk there. People would happily sell cancer to others to make a living.

You think we dont have our own refugees crisis? Its just in a different form.

Haven't been able to jump onto RVF, so Dalaran beat me to it.

I hate to say that my thoughts echo his by and large. Those that were brought up in the West are much more bearable, but that's exactly proves my point.

We have a massive FOB community from all over Asia here in my city, in Australia, they are mostly split between here and Sydney.

They embody basically everything I'm ashamed about my race (Chinese specifically, Indo-Chinese to a lesser extent — sorry Dalaran) — rude, tacky dress sense, pathetic posture/bearing, unhygienic, loud, uncouth, misogynistic.

Now, as a general rule of thumb, I'd say there isn't generally any racism in this country — with exceptions of course. Australians by and large don't have strong opinions about Asians, maybe mixed feelings. However, the appearance of these Asians, bringing their behaviour from the mother country, give a terrible impression for the 5% or so of us.

I recently read a novel about the Vietnam War wherein the corruption of the ARVN generals and their government led to an unnecessary squandering of their troops in the field, which indirectly led to their downfall. The result was the prejudice that American soldiers had of the South Vietnamese men being cowards and their women, whores. I know that such decadence and corruption can be found around the world, but this sort of behaviour that leads to the little people being run roughshod over seems to be more endemic in a lot of Asian cultures.

It's not just the FOBs, though. Even for those raised in the West (and my family was pretty Western already) have largely been brought up with traits that simply aren't seen as desired here — introversion, lacking confidence and assertion are but a few things that come to mind. Ones that definitely affected me, and which I later had to overcome on my own volition.

There's definitely a strain of clannishness among my people. Yes, there's a lot of talk, both here and the wider media, that East and South-East Asians assimilate into their adopted countries better than Middle Easterners and those of Muslim societies. For the most part, that is true. Even so, there is tendency for them to be rather tight-knit in the way they keep society. So much so that if they're seen as an "other", they have no-one else to blame. Really, I think my people have an onus to do their bit in terms of complaints about a "bamboo ceiling"

I have read how a few of our resident China experts have voiced exactly such opinions about her people, to the extent that I'd feel uneasy making contact with them for fear of being seen as a lesser form of life.

I hate to bring up the elephant in the room, but there has been enough of a strain of, dare I say it, white apologia, running through this forum, that sentiments expressed in this thread, especially from non-white members, may be welcomed with glee.
On the other hand — lest I be taken as some sort of yellow Uncle Tom — I acknowledge that some members here do advocate owning your identity. Your background is part of who you are.

Beyond being aware of my heritage and language, I should ask: take pride in what? Your ethnicity is mostly periphery to your identity; it gives it a physical definition, but not much more. Yes, in spite of everything that I've said, I know that my race is known for many great things. But to subsume them as part of your own identity is disingenuous, an assumption of undue credit. I find it silly to take that sort of due credit for merits that you weren't responsible for; insofar as it's just as silly to be compelled to take responsibility for misdeeds of your race's forebears that you personally weren't responsible for.

It's true that I find it easier to be driven to such beliefs because I was pretty whitewashed to begin with. Or it could be a streak of childishness within me, maybe ingratitude. The OP definitely hit an idea that I'd been nursing, though.

I'm not sure if that was a serious thought but we call Native Americans "Indians" because the first people to get to the New World thought it was the Indies (aka East Indies), and thus, the people there were called Indians. That's what Christopher Columbus was trying to do, he was trying to get to the Indies without sailing around Africa. At least, that's what I was taught in school, and it makes sense. That's why the Caribbean islands were known as the West Indies.

I've known a number of American Indians and they generally did not give a shit about the term "Native American". That's a PC invention. I either refer to them as Indians or by their tribe, if I know what it is.

But it was NOT the East Indies. Just like in that Louis CK bit - the explorers learned soon that they were not anywhere near Asia, yet we still mis-labeled the indigenous people as "Indians."

It's no different than calling Asian people European. It makes no sense but we still call them that. It's just silly.

It's silly for you, now, but that's out of historical context.

Why do we call America America? Because Amerigo Vespucci came along on Columbus's coattails (10 years later, no less) and wrote a few letters back home. Seems like a pretty silly reason to name two whole continents after the guy, all things considered. It should be North and South Columbia.

Lots of stuff like that is silly. I refuse to call suppressors "silencers" because they're not remotely silent, but that's what Maxim called them when he invented them so it's the common name.

What it boils down to is we call Indians Indians because, well, that's the term. Doesn't have to make sense, with five hundred years of weight behind it.

I think the number 1 thing holding back many Asians is their strong loyalty to family. I see it all the time in China. Sometimes your rice farmer grandma DOESN'T know what's best for you. This isn't to be down on Asians, because many of them are breaking free of that mindset, but I see it every day. Dad believes bullshit passed onto him from grandad and so and so forth and you have a seemingly unbreakable chain of betatude strangling young Asian guys in a way that doesn't happen with Western dudes. This isn't something I hate about asian culture and I really have no business talking about asian problems, but it's just an observation of mine after a year and some change in China.

While this forum does speak a lot about family, sometimes it's worth noting that families can also be the epicenter of really stupid and caustic ideas.

In my opinion it's actually a lack of leadership, not loyalty to family. Loyalty in itself is not a bad thing. What makes people think it is, is when bad decisions are made on behalf of loyalty, without taking any leadership into account.

I gave an example a while back about a old college buddy of mine that took control of his dad's crabbing business and kicked his dad and brother out of it, all because he took leadership and transformed it with fresh ideas. I lost count of all the times he would be crying and pissed off about how his family was shitting on him our first two years in school. He sucked it up and stepped up. Got a business degree with accounting, became fluent in Spanish, and took it over.

Another one was disavowed by his father because he joined the military and refused to do what he was told. Now they have an amazing relationship and he runs businesses. The military helped him get some discipline that he knew he lacked. HE father did not agree, but even if you disagree, you need to act with conviction and have a plan. He had a plan and it worked out in due time.

Here is the thing about leadership. You cannot effectively lead others, if you are unwilling to serve others first. Sacrificing and serving your family helps to build the foundation for that. Family is your first company. You can run it into the ground, or learn how to work with others, serve them to gain respect, then lead the family into the future. It translates outside the house and will serve you well.

As a young man you have to eventually brush off petty feelings about family and move forward and start making attempts to guide them, because nothing is worse than selfishly disappearing for many years, only to come back when they cannot even take care of themselves. Do you expect them to trust you past a stranger at that point?

It's better to maintain the trust first, then work from within the system, and transform it into what you want it to look like. Building a solid family system is not always buildable overnight. For every family that pulls up in one generation, there are many that took 3-5. Look at Trump's family. You think that is all him? No. Either his grandfather set the tone or someone way earlier than him first. Look at Romney's family. Many Jewish ones, Orthodox and Non-Orthodox. Someone set the tone a long time ago so that no one has to try to overhaul the whole family.

Chinese are no different. Most had to start over after the 70s from scratch, while some did not. My wife's great grandmother came from a successful family before the 70s and it followed the family regardless of the political effects. Her mother's side, even more so, they were doctors, etc.

Sort of.

America derives from Americus, which is the Latin version of Amerigo. But there's no good Latin analog for Christopher, because Christopher has Greek origins (Christofóros). North and South Christo, maybe? That would work well enough with the Spanish version of Christopher Columbus, which is Cristóbal Colón.

I like Columbia instead because if you're going to refer to a Westerner by a single name, it's going to be the surname, even if the person is incredibly famous. Using Amerigo Vespucci's first name root doesn't even make sense in the context of Latin naming conventions, but it is what it is. I really doubt he was known as simply "Amerigo" at the time; maybe they just didn't like his last name.

Actually, this question can be seen as a qualification question for general thoughtfulness and character in a person.

Any person who is introspective and honest will have some problems with themselves, and their introspection will extend to the people they are associated with.

They will also feel a bit of a cringe when people who look like them do stupid things, and feel a measure of responsibility for members of their group.

These are both upright qualities. Self criticism and a sense of responsibility.

A dull and dishonest person will have nothing but good things to say about himself, and by extension, his race.

And on the flip side, a self hating and pandering person will have nothing but bad things to say about his race, gender, whatever, and always kiss up to people of other groups.

They will take no responsibility whatsoever for actions of their group, and secretly believe themselves to be honorary members of other groups.

I wonder what would happen if we asked this question of the women in our lives?

Maybe it's better not to know.

[Sumanguru]

I've met too many shitty people from all races to look down on one particular group.

At this point, I only feel kinship with those who prove themselves worthy of my time and loyalty--those who, regardless of their race, earn it.

SJW diversity liberal nonsense aside, I do believe that if you travel enough, stay open-minded, and put yourself outside of your comfort zone, you'll meet lots of dicks from all races but you'll also meet smart, valuable people from all races too. There's no need to hate any group. But no group, outside of those individual humans you choose, should have your love.

You're close but usually it's not the dad that's the problem but the mom. Asian dads can be notoriously absent when it comes to parenting. I've seen some over the top overbearing shit from friends of mine who have asian families like that. Luckily my immediate family was not jacked up in that way but I have an aunt that is very much like that.

The "tiger mom" thing is semi true however the misconception is that it's all about pushing their kids to succeed. A lot of times asian moms use their kids as proxies to live out the youth they didn't get to live because their mom was also a cunt..so on and so forth for generations.

They also use their kids as trophies to show off for face reasons.

Some will fuck their kids all up socially (and emotionally) as long as they check off a laundry list of "achievements" to gain face.

This parenting method works fine in asia since if you're a guy you can get by on being somewhat socially retarded as long as you have a level of career success and social standing. You can still fumble your way into decent pussy, social success, and marriage. In the west though this type of parenting is cancer and will ruin a kid thus the reason why so many asian-americans *and* indian-americans are all jacked up.

I like my women the same way I like my wine and cars: Imported.

I have very, very little in common with typical white American women (I'm a white man). And I'm past any point of giving a shit, which is liberating.

I'm happier socializing/gaming/banging foreign women; my last last two LTRs have been with European imports. Even my last few side pieces have been foreign born. Americunts are mostly invisible to me.

However, I just CANNOT vibe with 99% of young-professional white women. With very few exceptions, they seem to be carbon copies of one another. They are extremely uptight, easily offended, passive-aggressive, incredibly selfish, and have no personality. They all repeat the same stupid phrases that other white girls constantly say, watch the same retarded TV shows, take the same pictures, etc. I'm not even attracted to them unless they are top of the line - even then, I'm not particularly interested in pursuing them.

I'll admit that I am likely scarred from bad experiences with shitty American white women. At this point, I feel like its taboo or naughty when I take home a white girl. I can't imagine living with one. Maybe I need to travel more.

Finally a meaningful race thread that hasn't gone up in flames or become trolled.

I'm going to rant a little because I'm enjoying the discussion.

When I first came to the states from India, I was 12. First of all, I loved my life in India. I remember a lot of good moments of myself growing up. Amazing moments that I will forever cherish. I moved to upstate New York. I had a cousin 2 years older than me who we lived with along with his parents, my uncle and aunt who sponsored us. While I was a little fresh off the boat weak, socially inept Indian kid, he was the highly social all-american as can be, private school attending asshole. I believe he was on the track team as well in his middle and high school. He was an only child and his parents sent him to private school. There were stark differences between the two of us. He treated me like shit and I just had to take it. I had no friends; all my other family was in India; even my immediate family was at the mercy of my witch aunt. We stayed at their house for about 4 months and it was the worst 4 months of my life. Every insecurity that I had to shake off later got created around that time. Could I have done something about it? Maybe. I just didn't know how and didn't have guidance.

My mom was a good mother and dad was a good father in India but lost all his strength when he came over here. Neither had transferrable skills so they busted their ass in minimum wage jobs to make ends meet even working 2 jobs at a point. I was the happiest kid in the world when we finally moved out to a shitty apartment near the ghetto. It was short lived and I struggled every day to survive socially and barely made it. One day I decided: Either I'm going to prove to every motherfucker I ever meet that I can become American or I will die trying. I also subconsciously told myself that I'm going to get there by hard work. Hence came my decision to join the Navy after high school. It was one of the most drastic transformations that ever existed from an Inner Game point of view. I just became a different person.

Fast forward to post-Navy:
-I made E5/NCO in less than 4 years of active duty.
-Girls loved me.
-Got out and used the GI bill to get an Accounting degree in the same god-forsaken racist upstate town I grew up in.
-Got a job with one of the biggest accounting firms in the world right in the middle of times square in NYC. Did 7 years there.
-Got a CPA
-Got married, raising 3 great kids.
-One fine day, discovered the forum and went beyond my abilities to "game."
-Got sick of Accounting and made the bold move to go into sales
-2 years later, recently became one of the top sales people in my company
-Company asks me last week to be a "brand ambassador" and eventually speak at events as a "thought leader."

My cousin:
-Got out of his catholic high school
-Messed around with a few girls
-Went to the local State University and fucked around with every girl he possibly could
-Got the lowest GPA he possibly could, so low that there was nothing he could do to get it back up unless he started fresh. He barely attended classes.
-Essentially shitted and pissed his parents money.
-His parents decided enough is enough, he should get married, a good Indian wife will fix him. (*** common toxic Indian parent thought process***)
-In order to repay his parents for all the grief he caused, decided to marry that Indian wife (a nice, kind and homely, pretty, smart Indian girl that gave him 2 beautiful kids) ----- A marriage arranged by manipulating the girls parents into thinking that the family were really well off and their son was a great kid.
(I'm busting my ass in the Navy at the time"equalizing" myself to just be normal)
-He eventually tells her 2 kids later that he "doesn't love her" ... Divorces her after pissing her money as well (he didn't have a good job).
-Fucks up my credit score because I decided to co-sign a car lease for him (one of the dumbest things I have done)
-He keeps asking me for money...
-His wife is a classical dance teacher; she starts to become one of the most recognized names in that area.
-He moves to Texas and shacks up with an ugly mexican girl that doesn't speak English
-Marries the Mexican girl
-Looks like shit
-Keeps asking me and his other cousins for money....
....
....
-I break ties with him....

Fuck that guy. He's the epitome of bad Indian parenting, American privilege and a sense of entitlement rolled up in a destructive little package. Reality caught up to him. Funny thing is that he's one of the most social guys I know. He can make you feel like you're on top of the world. So much that you want to impress him. He got a gift. For that reason, he will always survive.

My relationship with him left a dent in my confidence that even to this day affects me since it was at a crucial time in my life when I should have been playing sports, banging girls and working out. He missed every opportunity to be on my side so he could benefit from it. Notice that I didn't say that "he missed every opportunity to help me." The reason is that I became more resilient because of what he did, another words, he helped me even more to succeed by being a dick.

If it wasn't for him, I would never have what I have to this day. I've been in situations (including my current one in sales) which I have only succeeded through because of that resilience this faggot gave me. One of the things I love about sales is failure, or more so the fear of failure. As long as that fear exists, I work harder than everyone around me. Sad part is that it makes it difficult for me to let my guard down and enjoy myself. I'm 38 years old and still coming to terms with all the stuff I missed out on.

That guy is one of the reasons I dislike certain people like him from my ethnic group. I stay away from hoity toity Indian dudes that think they're god's gift to America because they sound so white and so smart. They date within their group of Indian girls too. This isn't all of them (the ones that are honest with themselves and see it red pill, like Russell Peters, I connect extremely well with). Those guys think they're better than both the white and black people AS WELL AS the other Indian dudes. Fuck them. I would rather be around people that look different from me or be around mainland Indian people that aren't tainted by western culture. I relate better to either of these groups than those tryhards in the middle. I guess there are try hards in every race and culture like this and I can't stand any of them.

God damn, opened up old wounds......you fucks....

[philosophical_recovery]

I have a distaste for classless white behavior, mainly because I grew up very close to that environment.

My family comes from the backwoods of the country, an area riddled with meth, subscription drugs, corruption, bad parenting, and broken families. Luckily, my parents escaped their quagmire, but only set their goals on an average middle class life in the suburbs somewhere. I grew up in a bubble, surrounded by white and other trailer trash, oblivious to how the rest of the country was. I was very smart as a kid, but totally socially inept due to some of the guilt-ridden upbringing I had. It had excellent qualities in many ways for keeping me out of serious trouble, but my parents were incredibly overbearing at a point.

The fear of "weed" and child abduction was huge when I was growing up. I remember riding my bike around the neighborhood, going miles from home when I was around 8-10.

I tried to get into skater culture because it was cool then. Got pretty good at some tricks, and ended up getting in a fight because of some kind of jealousy situation. Learned I couldn't trust any of my friends.

When I was an early teen, I was forbidden from going a quarter mile down to the park because I could get abducted or could smoke weed. So restricted, my only real recourse was, per my parents' recommendation, to "watch TV" instead of playing video games or fooling around on a 56k modem. I got deep, deep into online gaming.

As you could expect, my social skills suffered. I became a recluse. Hated life. Incredibly negative. Struggled with girls. Always saw romantic comedy shit on TV because that's what my mom watched. It did a number on not only my self perception but my attitude. I didn't have any good role models. for what I was supposed to be.

Nothing changed until I started lifting weights, putting on muscle, and stopped being such a pussy.

I'm one of the only people I can think of from my small neighborhood that made it out of that part of the country. Everyone else stayed there. One of my highschool friends got disability in his early 20s, put on about 80lbs, knocked a girl up, and sits on his ass to his fathers everloving discontent. I liked his dad more than him anyway. I'm sure there are more examples that I am forgetting now.

I look around, and just about every white guy I see is a fat fuck or a total hipster pussy faggot. Obesity is huge, and I try not to think about it. My father has kept his weight up for 30 or so years, to the point where we can't do anything physical because he is just too out of shape. I never, ever want to be like that.

Luckily, I know a few good families and solid examples, now. They are few and far between. But, I love it when I see a solid family, a father with a backbone, and kids that have their shit together. It gives me hope that one day, that will be me.

[Wutang]

I'm Asian American and while I don't have a dislike for other Asians I do agree with a lot of the criticisms that are being leveled on this thread. One thing I would add is that a big thing I notice about Asian Americans is how insulated and in a bubble they are compared to other ethnic groups. I'm not talking about FOBs since it's natural for first generation members of any immigrant group to gravitates other but rather Asian Americans that either born here or at least raised here since childhood. A lot of Asian Americans have a pretty big disinterest in anything that happens outside of their social circles and family. As long as all their friends and family are either in college and are working a nice white collar job and dating other "proper" Asians then the entire world could be going to hell outside of their bubble for all they care. For all the talk about Asians being well-educated and intelligent I've always noticed that seems to be a general trend of lack of intellectual curiosity among them.

The insular nature of Asian American is also reflected in their apoliticalness. There's been lots of stories coming out this election about how Asian Americans are drifting towards the Democrats but they are only discussing the Asians that are actually politically active - a good portion are not. Asian Americans regularly have the lowest voting rate for any ethnic group and I don't think it's any coincidence that politicians do very little outreach to their communities. The black vote, the Latino vote, the Jew vote and other blocs are constantly talked about but it's pretty uncommon to hear people worrying about the Asian vote. I see this trend myself with the Asian Americans I have encountered through out my life and I believe this trend can be traced back to the Asian being confined to their bubbles thing I was discussing.

There's been some mention of lack of game among Indians and East Asians in this thread. I was thinking about why a while ago and a discovery I came up with was that both cultures traditionally have had a lot of match making and a minimal amount of dating. Even when Western society was a lot more stuffy and uptight there was still the idea of courtship and an expectation that a guy still had to charm and win over a potential mate. Buying a girl a drink might be a beta chump move but it sure as hell isn't as beta as offering the girl's father 3 goats.

[MikeS]

Parts of my ethnic group, yes, but not yet towards my native country. I like to think that Denmark is still the sanest of the Scandinavian countries - not as overrun by feminism and political correctness as Sweden and Norway, and among the few Western European countries where the politicians at least make a slight effort to curb immigration (a law from last year making the invaders hand over valuables when they arrive for instance, cuts in their social benefits, and a least a pretense of border control).
That said I'm not really picturing myself moving back there in the foreseeable future - if ever - and settle for visiting family a few times a year.

One thing that's very precious about Asian parents in general though, that I dont find in any other race, is the willing financial support for their children.

I wont speak for others, but Vietnamese parents still have this motto: if you dont work hard for yourselves, work hard for your children. Also part of the reason why they dont divorce that often. Mostly every Viet families I know simply assumed that they will support their children until they are financially independent, which might mean well into their late 20s. Even after that, they are still saving up money so they can pass a sizable inheritance to their children.

I realize not long ago how lucky I am that if, whenever I desperately need money, I could ask my parents for help without it being a huge deal (my ego aside)

When I was a student in Paris I noticed how most middle-class Asian students spent money much more than Parisians, thanks to the whole financial weight of their family behind them.

Compared that to the occasional news "white brat sues her parents for not paying her college", I actually quite appreciate being Viet.

I took a dim view of the Vietnamese in college, after experiencing living with them in the dorms. A couple of the women were very friendly, the rest? Mostly thugs. Every ethnic group would have their special functions on campus. The Vietnamese ones would always end up with someone pulling a gun on someone else.

One particular incident that I recall was how abusive they were to the guys who delivered for the local Chinese take-out place. They were literally blocking this guy from doing his job, reveling in their sadism. I ended up intervening, letting the Chinese guy pass, and got death threats from the Vietnamese for my trouble.
