"Oh my God! Oh my God! My twin brother has been shot! I think it was an Asian gang or something... There was this guy, he looked Asian... and he was speaking another language, I'm pretty sure it was... Asian."

I love that there's a very specific vein of people that like Cable Guy. Good times.

it's funny because when she said that Carrie cocked an eyebrow at me and I was like "hey, the dude likes her and he's makin' the effort. good for him". and then she said something like "but he got pissed off like 5 minutes into it and stormed out to the bar across the street". Which gave me immense joy. You've redeemed yourself in my book.

I had a friend in highschool who was half asian in highschool. He used to call himself the Asian Persuasion, and somehow girls fell for it.

My favorite was an old friend of mine whose parents were Korean, but he was raised in Germany and then moved to America. So, he looked Asian and spoke English with a German accent.

asians with southern accents are still my favorite, though that one's good.

I've met several Asians from Europe actually, and it is pretty weird. Don't really know why, shouldn't be any stranger than Asian-Americans or people from Hong Kong or Singapore who speak English with British accents, but still, it's odd to hear an Asian with a Russian or Dutch accent.

But, I do have an honest question. If Oriental is an offensive term, why is it still ok to use it for things like rugs and such? If the term is demeaning culturally and seen as Eurocentric and all that, wouldn't it be offensive in all cases, not just when referring to food and people?

Rap/hip hop = nigger music
black people = black people or African Americans

So...your explanation is based on the idea that it's ok to call rap nigger music?

I'm still confused.
