My Asian Culture
8:48 PMYo!
Since fetus Ada days, my peers have always asked me questions like, "Are you Asian or Chinese (lol)?," or "Do you eat rice everyday?" Well, finally, I'm gonna be debunking these myths!
Okay, because I'm super lazy, I'm going to list this.
1. Chinese is a category of "Asian." Just like how Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Pakistani, etc. people are still Asian but more specific to their region and culture.
*Shock!* I know right?
2. Strict Asian parents are not so much of a myth. The thing is, Asian parents do care a whole lot about grades, upbringing, respect, and pretty much anything about their children's future. I know that whenever I talk about my future, the conversation pretty much goes like this:
Me: "Hey dad! I think I might want to do journalism!"
Dad: ... *first couple of seconds*
Dad: ... *30 seconds later*
Dad: *one minute later* "Mui mui (my nickname), you so dum dum. Why not be tha doctor?! Joornarist no good. Business okay. Doctor the best."
Me: *sighs and heads back to room*
Great, right? But don't get me started on the talk of boyfriends!
Me: *watching K-drama* WOW, Lee Jong-hyun is so handsome! He can marry me anyday ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) (any WGM watchers??)
Dad: ... No boifren!!! You 23 first!
Me: *sighs and heads back to room once again*
3. Yes, I do eat rice mostly everyday. BUT! Unlike all of y'all's thoughts, it is accommodated with the most delicious side dishes *-*! Prepare your saliva as I show all the delicious foods I get to eat.

Mapo tofu is literally the best! If you like a slight punch of spicy with tofu... please join the club.

Fish is one of my favorite dishes! Not just any, but soy-sauce steamed fish. YUM!
-Yummly
Do I have any shrimp lovers? GARLIC SHRIMP IS JUST ASDFGHJKL

We don't just eat plain rice all the time. When we jazz it up, we go all the way with fried rice! One of the easiest and most delicious meals eveeeer.
I would talk more about this (trust me, I would because food), but I think I got my point across. Rice and Chinese food is awesome!
4. No, not all Asians are good at math! Okay, well, a majority of Asians may be good at everything, but hey, there are always a few that suck (me).
5. Asians include the whole Asian continent. So yes. These are all Asians:
I'm getting tired of typing so much again (LOL I'm soo lazy), so I will end this post by sending a big heart for all of my fellow Asians! I hope I was able to inform and entertain you people.
Welp, until next time! Stay savvy, my people!
