Question my Asianess

What is your nationality?

First of all, Asians leaves everyone wtith the impression of what type of nationality are they? That's the fun part of people trying to guess what type of Asian you are. They can name all the Asian country and yet couldn't come up with the right answer. If anyone here can guess what type of Asian I am? I'll teach you to say curse words in my language. Nah, just kidding, I'm not that cruel. I know, a lot of Asians look alike, but their is some difference from the face and size.

Can you speak English?

Yes? Can I help you? Then they would be like, Wow! You're English is soooo good!? I respond, oh gee thanks, I cheated, I was born in the U.S.

What does my name mean in Chinese?

I dunno, I'm not Chinese. Sorry can't help ya out with that one. But the Chinese people that I worked with can write my name in Chinese characters. Pretty cool if you want to get a tattoo of your name or your ex-lover...I mean ya know.

Do you know kung-fu?

No, but would love to! I grew up watching a lot of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li movies. Even though I'm a girl, I have to defend myself somehow right? That reminds me back then in my first foster home. I was living with a wonderful black lady who claims to be called sister or mama Anne. Anyway, I was the only Asian in that particular high school. Almost everyday, some guys would walk up to me and bark ching-ching-chong! Just to annoy me. I ignored it for 3 months, until I lost my patience and kicked some guy really hard on the leg. From that day on, everybody thinks I know kung-fu and left me alone. (Maybe I should've kicked him in the nuts, but hey I almost broke his leg) Don't worry, I'm not that violent, only if you are repeatedly piss me off.

Why don't you go back to your own country?

I can't right now, I'm broke, plus its run by communist now. If I do go, I'll train to defend myself . Not to mention I'll get a bomb detector and some hot looking bodyguards. ROLF!

Are you related to everyone here you work with?

No!!! If I was, I wouldn't be here. I really don't get along with my own family!? Sad to say, but I'm in foster care now.

Do Asians really eat cats and dogs?

Some stereotype things about asian is about the fact that we eat cats and dogs. Hmm....I never had any of that other than eating the domestic meat of beef, chicken, and pork. I admit to eating their organs, which I'll never do it again, its very bitter! Such as the liver (Acck!) Why am I Asian and don't eat other kind of meat such as fish? My reason, I've been spoiled and Americanized by my foster homes. Read more about that in my other hubs or future hubs. Now I did work for a Chinese restaurant and some admit to eating that back in their hometown. There were also reports of other Asian restaurant that were banned due to cooking cats and dogs but not this one, thank God! I help out in the kitchen every now and then, and trust me there was no sign of a cat or dog body lying anywhere. If there was, first of all, I'll puke like hell, second, report it immediately!?

Being Asian has its advantage in some stereo typical way. Depends on how naive some folks are. But don't take this serious okay? This was taken from one of my favorite site, asianjokes.com
