asian's my age seem to be disgusted by me, but the ones around the age 13-16 flock around me. a little background info on me, just so you know where I'm coming from. I grew up in a small town, about 10k people. we're the only asian family here and I've grown up being the only asian in my school for the last 12 years. I'm pretty whitewashed and all, but still know my roots. I know this is weird, but I have a bias against most of the asians around here. All of them seem too cliquish for me and stick to themselves. every time I walk into the mall, I feel their eyes just staring me down, like I betrayed some kind of unsaid rule not to hang around my friends or anything : /.

How old are you anyways? I thought you just said you're the only Asian family there. So where did these other Asians come from?

The background info is a little vague to answer the question... I don't really understand what you mean by the 13-16 year olds flocking around you. Are they attracted to you..?

Well you don't like them and they don't like you. So of course you all won't like each other! Plus, you all are assuming things about one another. Thats not cool.

So ... why are you the "only asian family there", when there's other asians there that are disgusted by you?

I'm 19. I live about an hour south of houston, but I head up there every once in a while.

the only other group of asians I felt that I fit into besides family was the group of international students I met last year at UT:SA, but I don't speak Japanese : /

well it's not like I dislike an individual. I just dislike the whole idea of being cliquish and all. I've hung out with one, everyone is just deciding what the leader decides is a good idea. they're all sheep.

You are correct. You didn't dislike one individual, but you dislike a GROUP of people.

I know what you mean. When I'm walking with the asians, you will feel the strong aura they emit as they walk past people.
They can go bankai at any second.

Oh ya, and if you act or dress rather questionably, they'll stare you down like no tomorrow. Then they'll laugh about it back at home for days on end when they gather to play some mahjong. Life will be a living hell.

I guess, this just answered my question. well, most people I meet that tend to stray away from their group are cool. it's the whole click thing that gets me. I know asians tend to stay together, but as a click, most individual thinking is suppressed because the whole group thinks one thing, the person doesnt want to catch mini cooper because he thinks another way. oh well, I'm just ranting right now ohmy.gif, it's just been something I've been wondering for a while.

I don't dress weirdly, it's just not the norm for other asians I guess.

You're going to have to clarify.
Cause over here, I'm surrounded by international students, some that attended international schools, some didn't. So it's not unrealistic that they'd stick together.

I think you call them fob? So I will use terms you're familiar with. Terms such as "fob style" and "fob music" and "fob language" are the norm, and if you're not "fob" enough, they'll think you're weird. Like "what a disgrace" weird.

If you're talking about all those white-wash "azns" that think sticking together with fellow comrades eating pocky, drinking bubble tea and listening to got rice makes them more "azn," then I don't know. I always thought "azns" were retarded.

ah I see what you mean you must've hung out with those AZN people, you know those immature group that thinks they're all cool...i'll stop...it's just rant now...

but not all of us are like that since when me and my friends usually hand out we don't always do what one person wants to do unless no one else has nothing else to do...just trying to say that not all groups are cliquish and stuff

anyways if you ever stop by houston i'll make sure to give u an awkward stare! I'll just go by this description here:

most international students I met in San Antonio were cool, it's just the "azns" that like to hang out inside the mall, talking broken Chinese or Vietnamese

Ya, azns are retarded to the head. They think they're like neo-gen asians or something, with a mixture of hot western culture and hot asian culture mix together to form the ultimate concoction.

No, they fail completely.

International students actually act normal and don't need to prove that they're "asian" to all their white colleagues.

I just don't like the fact that you don't even know these people and you're being prejudice. But then again, its high school. If they are not hurting you in anyway, then who cares about them.

yea, but I think if you stay away from groups that have spikey hair, skinny white muscle shirt wearing asian guys, and TAB girls you should be fine smile.gif

you're mainly talking about the groups you see in hong kong 4 right?
