Booo, fr🤮nch. I rather have it be Mandarin-Chinese so I don’t have to learn more stuff xD

What happened to last time when you said you hated russia and the govenment?

Did the FSB barge in your apartment and took over this account, or like… did you just come back from getting reeducated in a gulag?

As a Chinese American, I don’t find it offensive. I mean at this point I kinda just embraced my background, I mean I still have a Chinese name as my legal name and I still speak Cantonese and Mandarin (with very basic fluency tho)

Unless you say it like: “Oh, your English is very good! Where are you from?” and the person clearly has a native-accent 🙄 (don’t do it like this)

(hasn’t happened yet, usually people are either much more overt like using racial slurs, or just not display racism at all)

I think you should just ask something like: “What is your ancestral background?” more direct and IMO sounds a lot better. But I think the context is key, you need to feel the vibe in the room is good before you ask that, don’t just walk up to someone and ask that as the first question.

But I was born in China, so I am technically speaking not “from” here, but if you are in the US and ask an Asian person born and grew up in the US that question, they might not like it. You should probably frame it like: “Hey I’m just curious, what is your ancestral background?”

Are y’all from the same couple-pair? lmao

No joke, Chinese dramas almost always portray the Emperor as benevolent, any problem is just because of the evil eunichs, evil sons wanting to steal the throne away from the good kindhearted benevolent son and rightful heir; or it’s the evil couping relatives, generals, or the many wives scheming, etc… that are causing problems in the Empire… The Emperor is never at fault… 🤦‍♂️

You don’t need a lot of population, if you do the imperialism game correctly, you can spread your influence very far and wide.

Lets ignore the language part and just talk about the American Media… it’s influence is spread all over the world. And the US military… it’s so dominant that it’s one of the most powerful militaries in the world, if not the most powerful one… and has bases all over the world… being able to invade any small nation as it wishes to… US population isn’t even a lot lol.

(Not that I support imperialism, just sayin’)

I don’t think France can really even do any imperialism these days…

IQ =/= EQ

French is projected to be the most common language internationally by the end of the century, due to population growth in Africa and the stagnation of population growth basically everywhere else.

My mom got robbed in broad daylight and they took nearly $1000 from her… (okay idk why the fuck she was carrying so much cash, but that’s whole another story)

She was literally on the way to the bank…

Then again, we are Asian American and non-Asians in America loves to target us… and obviously cops don’t give a fuck.

We need to bring back the rooftop Koreans to patrol the streets, police is useless

Tbf you’re more likely to get robbed by random people in broad daylight than encountering a cop that will civil asset forfeiture you, so its just bad idea to have lots of cash regardless of country.

lmfao…

that was like nearly 2 decades ago, yea I got scared eventually and went back home… I still have that mental image of being in that plaza and walking towards the direction of home, and saw mom with a bunch of cops just looking around, then my mom saw me

it was before my family emigrated, when we were in Guangzhou, China

My mom later told me there was (allegedly) a lot of kidnappings in China and I could’ve gotten kidnapped… 👀

A baby might not be able to, but 6 year old me ran away from home when my older brother was chasing me around the apartment and I felt scared and like… I just ran for the door…

was outside wandaring for hours…

scariest day of my life…

(mom called the police and they were just searching the neighborhood)

lmfao

Nah I would use a throwaway if I was actually doing that. I said so much shit on this account that its very easy to deanonymize.

No, cuz the dad ice agent would arrest the mom ice agent for trying to give birth to an illegal anchor baby and deport them to CECOT, then he’ll arrest himself for being affiliated with an illegal immigrant

Is this something I’m too “only have seen the internet post-2010” to understand?

Sources please

how would you deal with murderers, rapists, child predators

okay… interesting question…

and jaywalkers

Wat? 🧐

Coin flips are not random…

Its “random” to you because you are not that supercomputer, you are a mortal meatbag

I do

My parents don’t

Yeah you read it right, my mom just TOUCHES THE FUCKING SEAT THING… then touch the flush, and I DON’T HEAR THE FAUCET RUNNING

I called it out once, and she did washed her hands for THAT ONE TIME then proceeded to never wash hands for every subsequent bathroom use… also never used soap…

My Theory on why: My parents grew up in Rural China… their standards of cleanliness is probably much lower…

I mean if they have germophobia like I do, then you can’t even survive in the rural areas… if you know what I mean

Funny that they used to be the ones to teach me to wash my hands but now they don’t anymore… wtf
