you're probably right in that regard. our preferences are many times influenced by what is around us and what we grow up around.

the fact that i post to you and rebutt you doesn't change the fact that you're an idiot. stupid is as stupid does.

i won't lie....i can't tell, but in that regard probably trying to distance herself.

i can tell from a last name.

i've gotten mistaken for hispanic before

filipinos generally have wider noses and larger lips.

Same here

Haha, yeah, Camilla and I are driving down in a few hours, and we're bringing almost our entire chapter.

That's cause you live in Vancouver. ;) And speaking of Vancouver, because of the experiences I've had living here, many of the things discussed in this thread (interracial dating, model minority, being new to hearing Asians talk about discrimination and racism) are completely alien to me. It's been enlightening, though.

You DO still get the militant aZn pRyDe (or however it's written) crowd in Canada though.

i'm sure you also get the "i don't really hang out with them, i can't really relate...lets go to A&F" crowd, too.

:cool:

Are you kidding???
 

I can't believe what i'm reading. I really can't believe what
FiReKraCkEr has been writing. You think you can speak for asian women because your father is half korean and you lived in Korea for a while. Excuse me but i don't know where you grew up but not all asian women serve their men. We are raised to take care of our families when we get older and i don't think there is anything wrong with that. If my brother is responsbile for taking care of my parents when they are too old to take care of themselves than that's up to him. You did not grow up in Korea but you think you can judge everyone because they don't believe what you believe in. You probably go to other countries wondering why no one speaks English or wonder why people in different parts of the world are not as independent as women here are. I think you forget that you are lucky to be in a country with so much freedom but you abuse it by judging other people and their culture. You have a lot of nerve and i can't believe your sorority would accept such an ignorant person. Maybe you will grow up in a few years and realize that the world is not like the one you grew up in. I'm embarrassed to know that your part korean and such an ignorant one. Grow up!

I can always tell a chinese from a korean from a ....i'm starting to think everyone on here is still in high school. did we all go to college or am i dreaming. if this was a discussion on how you could tell the difference between black people from the us and from other countries this forum would be shut down. you are all so ignorant. not all asian women wear a lot of makeup and no you can't always tell where asian men and women are from. i get chinese, japanese, korean etc. the best way to find out is to ask. don't you have anything of importance to talk about instead of talking about stereotypes. i guess it's easy when your anonymous...easy to write what you really think isn't it.

Firecracker

I think i know more about korean culture than you and your five stepmothers because i am korean!

yes, you seem really lovely

i think you're rather pathetic but you know that so you resort to writing stupid comments trying to be funny.

you're a great asset to your sorority..too bad you can't name the chapter

you and bobby should hang out

i'm just glad you don't live in NYC. We don't like ignorant people. I'm sure you're going to reply with some witty comment..how boring


Thank God I'm a Delta Delta Delta

I apologize if someone's already posted the answer/opinion to this but I haven't had the time to read through all the posts in this thread.

You may recall the waves of immigrants from Asia to the United States in the late 60s to the 70s. If you do the math, the children of these immigrants were attending colleges and universities nationwide around the late 80s and early 90s -- around the time many Asian-interest GLOs were established.

Where's that Pho Shizzle thread when you need it?
--Yeah, eat my box.

IF you are a Delta Delta Delta i'm sure your sisters are REAL proud of how you're portraying yourself on here. :rolleyes:

kinda random - but i've found the facial recognition part of this thread to be pretty interesting. there's actually a lot of psychology related to this phenomenon (people from one culture/race being less able to identify or differentiate among people from other cultures/races) - there are actually a couple of good studies out there that are sometimes talked about in intro to psych books during the social psychology section...

Yes. Praise the Lord!

AOT to ALL my sisters, especially that hot Asian chick from TN!

I took that quiz from the link ariesrising provided and got ONE out of 18. Just wanted to share that info so y'all can laugh at me. :)

Meet Lady Bobby and Her Lovers

Since I'm a round eye Asian, I suggest you keep quiet before I blindfold you with floss and run over you with an Accord. :D

Not to be mean to "Lawyers", but what rock did this one crawl out from under?:(

Maybe it is a combonation of being a lawyer and from NY?

Tri Delta, oh, I would worrry about them and their organization if this one person is a representative for them, god forbid!!!!!!!:(

Bobby, nice PIX, wahoo!!!!!!!!:cool:

Are all Asians being lumped into one category now?

Stan, I have seen much more beef between different Asians (ie Koreans against Filipinos) than I have between whites and asians.

Lumping Asians into one category and then saying that whites exploited Asians when building railroads for example probably also allows for some groups to take credit for others' suffering.

funny how defending my race is an issue for the ones who replied to my comments.
i don't think there is anything wrong with my comments on the stereotypes that are being written on this board.

Hence why most of us haven't said there's anything wrong....

I don't think the comments on this board are necessarily sterotypes. They sometimes come from people's own personal experiences. My high school graduating class was probably 40% Chinese, and many of these girls were very spoiled and yes, "too hip to care" about many issues. I can't say that all Chinese girls in Canada are like that, but many come from families where parents are so busy that to show that they love their kids, they give them money and other materialistic things. It's sad, but true.

Hell no....I've even talked to a lot of Filipinos who don't think Filipinos fall under "Asian". Ever notice on questionaires that under ethnicity, there's often a box for each "Asian", "Pacific Islander", and even "Filipino"?

The area where my dad grew up in Detroit was primarily Italian and Fillipino. Both groups were discriminated against big time in their high school so they formed the Essex Avenue Brotherhood Association (EABA for short). They were a tight group of guys and are still in touch today. Some weren't able to tell the difference between the Italians and the Fillipinos. One of the Fillipinos them had a last name of Monticello. When I moved into the house I'm in now and met the neighbors, they told me their last name was Monticello and I asked if they had relatives in Warren. They didn't and said that their last name is Italian. In short, surnames don't always give away ethnicity!

See, but in your case you weren't JUST defending your race. You openly attacked Ivory just because her "being Asian" wasn't the same as your "being Asian". You even went as far as saying "Thank God I'm a Delta Delta Delta"...were you insinuating that your GLO was more superior than hers?

Judging from your username it appears that you've chosen the legal profession as your trade of choice. Is it acceptable to attack those in court (and say, call them IGNORANT) and question their character just because their opinions don't match yours?

No disrespect intended, I was just wondering simply from reading the obvious.

No one gives a flying piece of dog doodoo what your race is. What's wrong with your comments is that they were totally nasty and uncalled for towards Ivory (Firecracker)

recap please?

we do? ummmmm.........i'll pass.



but yea, i've dated a few beautiful black women in my time.

Thank you, kddani... I was just about to post something saying the exact same thing!


NYCLawyer... I usually try not and post in heated topics, but if you would like to make aggressive, attacking comments towards other GC posters, as a fellow sister, please refrain from posting your letters. Not only do you make yourself look bad, but it reflects on Tridelta as a whole.
I know you are new to GC, so you haven't learned the nuances and norms of posting here. It is not necessarily what you are posting, but how you are posting and blantantly attacking another member. Firecracker was gracious and classy enough to extend the symbolic white flag, but I promise you many GC members will not give you the same courtesy in a similar situation.

uhhh...that's not just a chinese thing. that's a rich family thing. has nothing to do with culture.

whoa.....someone's about to get hemmed up.

not saying that you are...but people who can't even claim a chapter.....


:(


it'd be a bad day for them.....

:mad:

btw, what chapter are you from?

NYCLawyer's post didn't make any sense. Firecracker's chapter is fairly common knowledge on here, everyone knows she went to UTC. I have no doubt as to her KD affiliation.

Now NYCLawyer on the other hand.... lol... who even knows if she's a Delta Delta Delta

lol, people from different orgs. asking for chapter info.

i wish another greek would press me.

well, she could be playin about being a tri-delt. i don't know. who knows?

lol, that's come in handy on more than one occasion!
