[SOPi_Jawbreaker]

You may not have meant to offend but your original post just seemed like you look down on "fobs". To me, it came across like you thought they were annoying, perpetuating stereotypes, embarrassing, good for a laugh, and nothing more than that...like they have no deeper human worth. I'm sure you're a nice person and from your other posts on other threads, it doesn't seem like you're a callous or malicious person. But your first post did come across like you thought you were better than them and didn't think much of them.

Without "fobs" paving the way, you and I and millions of young Asian-American women would not have the privilege of going to college, the privilege of getting good jobs, the privilege of buying/owning property, or the privilege of having the same rights/protections/freedoms as our Caucasian counterparts.

There are soooooo many countries around the world where it's so dangerous to be a women or to be a racial/ethnic minority...where they don't have the rights and protections that we have here in the US.



ETA: My point in posting isn't to make you feel bad. I know you already apologized. I just wanted to share how your post came across because I think sometimes we post things and the tone other people read is different than the tone intended. Such as my re-reading what I wrote above. I see that it may be taken as being harsh, but I'm not intending to be harsh. Just sharing how your post can be taken from a different perspective than you had probably intended.
