Asian American History

Can we have a thread about the history and culture of the Asian American community?

There's a lot of Asian American theater that is pretty good, e.g.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Chin

As an Asian American, I feel like we're probably more likely to be the "silent" minority. We sit back and take racism from white people (and others), but a lot of that is changing with modern Asian American activism, which is shaped by the history of our people.

Asian America is now at the forefront of tech in America, and we're routinely scapegoated for things like corporate espionage. I know that Veeky Forums tends to be a bit more tolerant than /pol/ too, so I think it's a good place to discuss Asian American culture and traditions and history.

There are also many good Asian American youtubers, such as KevJumba and NigaHiga, and white girls tend to like asian guys a lot these days, whereas before in the past, there was a lot of discrimination against us because white men were scared of our masculinity and sex appeal.

Pic related is Eddie Huang, an important person in our community who is writing a book about Asian American history.

Dude looks fucking ugly. Who is he?

Stop shilling you gook bastard. This is Veeky Forums not int or some other place you can shill multiculturalism

Hello /r/AsianMasculinity

Why is /int/ so left-wing anyway?

Can't you just accept that you are not white?

What do you find interesting about Asian American history?

The food and the fact lots of girls like us azn men.

Asian here
Im just gonna say that you 'asian' americans and the rest of westernised 'asian' are not real asian, and you shouldn't consider yourself as it is, you people are closer to niggers and real asians despise you and your obnoxious ways
Thank you

>take racism from white people

Oh fuck off, whites aren't racist against you. You're all getting rich as fuck off us and collectivist culture forces all of you into tight knit groups instead of exploring friendships with other races, that's why you can see mixed groups of blacks, whites and latinos but the asians are huddled together in a circle.

God you fuckers piss me off so much. You aren't oppressed in the slightest, shut the fuck up. You have WEALTH in the west, with wealth comes power, and that invalidates everything else.

This. I'm not asian but I highly respect the asian people, and I cringe hard and feel dissapointed whenever I see an american asian act all 'ghetto' and 'tough' on various TV-shows, interviews and podcasts. I mean fuuuck, you are ASIAN, and you are taking after afro-americans? What the hell man? Talk about a downgrade in culture and behaviour.

It's not a good thing that whites are open to other groups.

Remember that the term "racism" only exists as a weapon to beat white people over the head with in the first place. It has no actual utility as a universal conceptual definition.

When Asians want to act tough, they LARP as black people.

You see it on /r/asianmasculinity all the time, they start talking 'bout them muhfuggin gweilos an sheeit.

>mixed groups of blacks, whites and latinos
You've obviously never associated with blacks other than in the most superficial way if you think blacks mix with other races.

Oh you shut the fuck up too, dipshit.

OK praise Lao Tzu

Eddie Huang, he's pretty cool. Used to have a series with Vice where he traveled all over and ate local food, but they took the videos down after his book came out and he got a TV deal. The show "Fresh Off the Boat" is based on his book and childhood.

He seems like a pretty fun guy, he's really into hip-hop and getting high and eating good food.

He's a giant entitled SJW manbaby though. See the recent whine over that black comedian's joke.

OP, if you haven't already seen it you should watch "The Search for General Tso." It explores the origins and history of Chinese-American cuisine by tracing the recipe for General Tso's chicken back to its roots. It's well made and I think you can find it on Netflix

Huh, I hadn't heard about that. He's also friends with Akwafina IRL, and she is a babe. Not that that really has any bearing on him

>Eddie Huang

God I hate that faggot so much.

>dude white people lol
>muh weed
>regurgitated nigger shit

I used to actually feel sorry for Asian guys when I was muh dikking Asian girls in Hong Kong just because it was so goddamn easy if you're even halfway good looking and white over there.

Then I realized people like /r/asianmasculinity and Eddie Huang exist and now I fucking revel in it to the point I encourage the Chinese girl I'm fucking at the moment to tell me all her raceplay fetishes whereas before I was just turned off when Asian girls had them (surprisingly a number of them have them, I always thought it was just porn sexuality, not real).

>muh railroads
>muh internment camps
>muh model minority

That's pretty much it as far as Asian American history goes, 442nd RCT was bretty gud

>used to actually feel sorry for Asian guys

Worst thing you can do. White people are too empathetic.

If they had the power to actually be desirable to women, they'd do exactly the same thing. Just look at how consistently they cheat on their wives if they have money (I was an expat in Singapore).

And yeah, gotta admit I was little shocked when I first heard "call me your little chink slut!" in bed.

>internment camps

Meme issue. Nowhere near as bad as they're claimed to be, it was Jap Americans on Hawaii who gave the IJN the intel on the movements of the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Jap Americans had been emigrating BACK to the Japan and specifically Japanese colonies in Manchuria and Korea by the thousands prior to Pearl Harbor etc - so the US Government had legit reason to consider them a fifth column, or potential fifth column group.

Not to mention the Japs themselves interned westerner civilians in Shanghai and HK in far more squalid conditions.

Note it's not even Jap Americans complaining about this shit half the time anyway, it's Chinese and Koreans using it as leverage for their own ends.

Don't try to behaviour police child.

>442nd RCT was bretty gud
It was ok. Didn't really match up to Rocket's usual wacky offerings.

>Singapore
>HK

No wonder, women from those cities are insecure as fuck. They're quite possibly the ugliest women in East Asia, I'd try to get some white guy if I were a fugly Cantonese chick

>tfw arab qts rarely date outside of their race

I like asians. I always get along with asian dudes way better than the average white dudebro. Leave asians alone.

Don't kid yourself:

1. It's even easier on the mainland.
2. HK girls are known as being pretty. Bitchy and materialistic, but pretty.

Average white race traitor, nothing to see here.

>It's even easier on the mainland

It's getting much harder now, I started in 2008 and the difference is like night and day. I honestly would say that Mainlander chicks will be tougher than HK/Singapore girls in a decade.

>HK girls are known as being pretty. Bitchy and materialistic, but pretty

You've got to be kidding me, sounds like you got tricked by some locals. Nobody with experience in Asia would rank HK girls as "pretty".

All well and good, it's whatever, but you use a pic of Brenda Song for your post? She's pretty innocuous, user, the only issue I know of with her doing anything "bad" is some porn outfit used her pic for a back page ad. She sued and they stopped using it. I know you're 20 because you think her character on Suite Life is how she is in real life.

>Average white race traitor, nothing to see here.
lel how am I a race traitor for getting along with asians? I'm not breeding with them.

>The food
What are some famous and genuine Asian American recipes? Many that I thought were in fact are not.

Egg Roll = Spring Roll
Chop Suey = Tsap Seui
Fortune Cookies = Omikuji Senbei

General Tso's Chicken may have been developed as a sweeter variation of a Hunan recipe in the US.

>the fact lots of girls like us azn men
tbqh this sounds like bragging, I could brag about my sexual conquests but I don't. I know it is funny seeing the butthurt reactions like but ideally it should be left out of Veeky Forums unless there is something history or humanities related about this topic you want to talk about.

>It's getting much harder now

Wishful thinking chang, I see it all the time in Asian American male circles - this hope that eventually Asian women back home will wake up and see the light. Especially with China's rise. It's just pure delusion and I'll explain why: You see chang, the reason Chinese women like White men actually has nothing to do with wealth and status. That's what a lot of little asian men get wrong.

What it really boils down to is looks. It really is that simple. It's the same reason you guys would give your left nut for a skinny white blonde regardless of her background. Chinese women just find White men better looking, on average, than Chinese/Asian men - so an in-shape, decent looking white guy can have his way with a large number of girls.

Want to blame anyone? Blame the fact your own people didn't allow women any freedom in choosing a partner - selecting for wealth over and over again - end result being you're just a lot uglier than white people.

>You've got to be kidding me

You're delusional. The 港女 stereotype didn't come from girls who were ugly. It is good looking chicks who can drive a hard material bargain chang.

Asian American men are always coping.
