Staredit Network -> Serious Discussion -> Asian Pride
Report, edit, etc...Posted by StarCraft411 on 2005-12-24 at 19:03:09
I am fine with people having pride in ones self. But do you have to tell everyone else? If a white person has a name "whitepride" or something similar we get called a skin head or a nazi. And people generally stereotype asians with being naturally smarter. So why ruin that "good" stereotype with spelling things horribly wrong.
eg. azn I'm just confused that people who have so much pride in their ethnicity would ruin their generally good reputation by not even spelling their own origin right. I mean I guess it's just my opinion but I thought I would bring the topic up.

Please post your opinions I would like to see reasons.

I am sure that this topic has been posted before, but it was probably on basis of flaming. This is supposed to be a serious but not so serious discussion.

Maybe AzN looks cooler than AsIaN or whatever.
It's just a personal preferance, who really cares?

Well, I'm 25% asian. I've heard the term "asian pride" everyonce in awhile. I've never really thought twice about it. Having pride is fine as long as your not ignorant/racist about it. I think Asians are stereotyped to be smarter mainly because the fact back in Japan far instance kids go to school almost everyday. Also, a lot of asian parents tend to be really strict on school for some reason.Iono what Valug is talking about because I haven't really heard any stereotypes about jews being smart.

Does it really matter?
Who cares if they have asian pride?
Let them spell Asian however they want.

Asians are stereotyped smart for a reason: almost all of them are. If you haven't noticed, Asian primary education is virtually the best worldwide. Japanese schoolchildren go to school an average of two more hours per day and most attend classes on Saturdays. Maybe if a good half of Americans weren't lazy bums loudly propunding that just because we fail school we still have more "creativity", then we might be on the same par.

As for using Internet screens with "azn" in them, it's likely for two reasons.

1)The trend started as they tried to be "gangsta". It's stupid, I agree.
2)Someone called "lilAzN3" is not neccessarily Asian. No guarantees at all.

Chances are, that Asian down the street is smarter than you. Live with it or get up to par.

Wannabe asians tend to put "azn" or "aznpride" in their name, I absolutely hate it. They never really are asian anyways.

Japan is the only country with a 100% literacy rate. They aren't necessarily smarter, just better educated wink.gif

Which indirectly means they are smarter.
I've noticed that every "gangsta" asian in my school is dumb.
Coincedince? I think not.

The culture wars. You got to love it.

I noticed that a lot of people who are racist or the complete opposite, usually don't have many black friends. Yes, they do have that one black guy that they know. But in most cases, for the people I know, they don't have many black friends at all. And by black, I mean stereotype wise. The lotr black kid that you know, does not count. I'm talking at least half gangstaization here.

There is no such thing as a 100% literacy rate. What is shockingly revealing about how America sucks in comparison is our own adult literacy rate: 97%.

3 in every 100 Americans are illiterate blink.gif

Of course no coincidence. No stereotype applies to everyone of a race. Having Asian parents does not give you the qualities of "being Asian", no does not having them deny you from it. It's a mindset.

I think it's like, trying to be cool and an abbreviation that some of them think is cool. I think it all comes down to wanting to be something else than you are. I've also found that usually what you are is better than what you'll try to be, prime example is Michael Jackson.

On my missions trip to mexico last summer, we met a korean team from LA California and they were really messed up...

There's this fad going on around their church or something where they would sing the Gangster song by Josh Groban to each other. I happened to know most of the song and when I heard them singing it amongst themselves, I joined them and then all of a sudden, they seemed to have accepted me and considered me a Korean -_-
I even knew more of the song than they did. I had to teach them more than just the few lines they would chant.

Here's the gangster song:

*I'm a gangster, I'm a straight up Gee,
the gangster life is the life for me,
shooting people by day, selling drugs by night,
being a gangster is hella tight.
I walk around town with a stark erection,
then gave your mom, a yeast infection.

**I also saw the policeman and I punched him in the eye.
To serve and protect? What a lie!
I also don't like white people, you shouldn't too,
and don't get me started about the jews.

I'm a gangster, grrrr I'm mad.
I'm a gangster, my rhymes are bad.

***I'm a gangster, I'm iced out like a freezer,
I'm a gangster, I dont listen to Wheezer.
I dropped out of school at the age of three (why?)
cuz all the teachers tried to player hate on me (oh)
my rhymes are cool, just like doing cocaine
my rymes are hot, like a burning flame.
Cisco is my homie he's a gangster too,
me and Cisco are the leaders of the gangster crew.
I like to be in jail and he likes to sing and dance (dance!)
some say we're the perfect match... *and goes on to someone yelling in background*
... I'm giving a shout out to my homies in cell block eight,
being in jail sucks cuz you always have to masturbate,
except when a jewish person goes to jail all of my homies cheer,
they will make minced meat out of his rear.
Ben Petty helped me make the, Gangster beat to the song,
I shot him in the face cuz he looked at me wrong.

I'm a gangster, I drop bombs like hiroshima,
I'm a gangster, biznatch suck on my weiner.
I'm a gangster, I drive a cool ar,
I'm a gangster, I smoke weed in a cigar.
Yo... my gangster flow,
Yo... yo yo yo,
*and I forgot the rest of the song*


* = What the koreans knew originally
** = What I knew then and taught to the koreans.
*** = Learned it after getting back.

omfg I totally hate Asian pride. Especially those Chinese who in my school calls themselves ABA (American born Asian) i mean my god they think their so cool. Well i guess ABA is more like not Asian pride. Well back on subject, Asian pride is more like making fun of yourself and try to make yourself more fit in while actually I think lowing their own pride. Because I see some kids laughing while saying it. Also I have no clue why you have to say asian pride to actually be proud of your own race. Word isn’t worth anything to be really proud of yourself you have to act.
