>another Asian America diaspora cartoon about intergenerational trauma and expectations Sigh
>one time in elementary school somebody said my mom’s hog penis smelled bad!!!!!!>btw I’m now a millionaire doctor The Asian-American experience
>>155002873Why can't Asian-Americans write about anything else?
>>155002873its because of the joy luck club which has basically shaped generations of asian-americansbut also because its a big deal to east asian families and those two things go hand in handplacing heavy expectations on a child can cause them to grow up with a complex and repeat those expectations to their own children, causing intergenrational traumathis isnt even a uniquely asian-american thing, though they get hit with it pretty bad due to the infamous tiger mom stereotype, since its a well-established statistic that people who grow up experiencing some kind of trauma have a good chance to repeat that with their own children
>>155002977make a fucking funny cartoon
>>155002977Tf is a joy luck club
>>155003299A movie from over 3 decades ago that was completely forgotten by almost everyone 2 decades ago

>>155002873I thought we liked Asian Americans
>>155003502I just don’t understand why they seem to be the immigrant group most traumatized by their parents despite being so economically successfulIt doesn’t really make sense
>>155003502Only for their womenThe men better keep their fucking heads downYou hear that, ching chong?Your wife is mine
>>155002977>Look up the movie>A group of Asian women with the whitest white guyAsian women aren't beating the allegations.

>asian woman cheating on her white husband with an asian manThis has literally never happened in the entire history of human sexual relations hahaha did some insecure guy named “John Chao” write this
>>155003566Why can't you fags stick to your own kind?
>>155003637I though she was cheating with another white dude
>>155003566Bitch when niggers where tearing LA to shit you kept your head down while the Asian Americans started putting down nogs

>>155003783The rooftop Koreans only killed one person and that person was Korean, they barely shot anyone. It’s been weirdly mythologized that they were going full spec ops for some reason

>>155003799>It’s been weirdly mythologized that they were going full spec ops for some reasonI blame TikTok.

>>155002873the funniest thing about these is that Asian-American women are so desperate to be seen as victims despite being incredibly successful in American society.

>>155002873It's funny because you don't expect Asians to do weed and get high. Lol, expectations subverted!
>>155004472I'm a huge fucking weeb and I'm traveling and staying in Japan and I set myself for the entire year and im not 2 weeks into it and I'm realizing I actually dislike Japan and Japanese people in general and it's breaking my conception of self

>>155002873>MC fucking a white dudeI always thought white women were the most retarded but Asian women take the cake for being the most embarrassing group

>>155002873I'm kinda okay with thislet these asian bring all the cringe and shame forcing the next generation of asian creators to make good shit
Canadian here. We've been dealing with this shit in our media for decades. Wait until you start getting jeet diaspora stories, that's how you know it's too late for your country.
>>155003543Heck, it would make far more sense for African-Americans (those who are one generation apart from Africa) to be super obsessed with that shit.>Your African parents disciplining you with the old world African style>Intergenerational trauma from being African + Trauma from anti-black racists who can't tell the difference between you and an actual Black American slave descendant.> Knowing the idea of "go back to your country", means going to whatever 3rd world slum your parents came from.

>>155003543Asian parents are not good at expressing love in a western sense. They will NEVER say "I love you", and almost never say "I am proud of you". They will, however, find anything to downplay a success. Asians generally do not like being boastful of accomplishments, because if you have time to feel good about something you did, then you have time to study harder for the next hill to climb.This does generally lead to successful children, but they have large voids in their hearts about love and affection.This is obviously not universal, but even the most well adjusted Asian/Asian American is going to tell you they have almost never heard their mother or father tell them they love them/are proud of them.Source: my wife is Taiwanese, though she loves her mother and feels loved by her, she's also pointed out she's never been told as much. The love is expressed via acts, like making her favorite food, giving gifts, and being there to help with major life events. I can easily say her mother is a loving person, but man some of the stories I've heard from some of our Taiwanese friends match these traumadump stories to a T.
>>155005138>Asians generally do not like being boastful of accomplishmentsthey do, but just not outwardlymore in the form of petty aggressiveness and living vicariously through their childrenthats why they push their kids so hard, the parents themselves are abject failures so they need their children to be successful so they can feel something
>>155002977Yeah but, and correct me if I'm wrong because I haven't read it since high school.The point of the Joy Luck Club was less about the generational trauma and more about the intergenerational interactions.>>155003618The "white husband" one was mostly about him being well meaning but making little fuck-ups on culture gaps like "the mother humbles her own cooking and everyone goes around complimenting it."He compliments it but adds "maybe just a bit of onions sauce" because western culture prioritizes that kind of constructive criticism without regard for a traditional recipe.If I remember correctly, the end of that story was the daughter trying to stand up for the husband when both husbands are out of earshot, and mother saying it wasn't about the white husband himself, who she admits to approving of on a personal level, but about a fear of her grandchildren potentially growing up with none of their side of the family roots.That's what the book largely is. A conversation between a parent generation and a generation getting ready to be parents.There was actually another chapter where the other white fiance was an asshole and is rightfully dumped.There is definitely an element of the generational trauma of tiger parenting, but even it was built around the generation gap of being traumatizing because it was the norm in homelands for the mothers and part of what made the girls "different" to everyone around them in America.
>>155002873You'd think by now they'd just be Americans
>>155003637There was an indie flick from a couple of years ago about an Asian woman married with a white guy that travel to her natal town or something and she rekindle her relationship with her ex that was Asian. That was made by a female Asian director but to be fair, ignoring the races it's a typical privilege woman's plot
>>155005285Only whites can be Americans. That's how the founding fathers intended

>>155003783They achieved nothing and it was mostly Hispanic gangs tearing up the streetsThe LA Riots ceased because everyone got tired and stopped>>155003799It comes from years of people believing the LA riots was just an African American vs Korean thing because of Latasha Harlins getting killed by a Korean Woman and beating the charges mixed with footage of Koreans taking wild pot shots at stuff off screen which lead to people living vicariously through the idea of a bunch Koreans killing black people Blame Libertarians
>>155007822It's basically a feelgood meme for rightoids more than actual analysis of the situation.
>>155007837>analysis of the situation.Niggers chipped out
>>155002873This show seems more about how all the characters are fuckups rather than the typical intergenerational trauma slop.
>>155003543Imagine the crushing grind of the ant hill. As an ant, there is always a catastrophe looming around the corner. Found a large food source? Good job but that'll only last a little while, go find the next.Only your death has meaning, when you die in service to the colony, only then do you rest, only then are you praised. Now do you understand?
>>155002873So which one is going to be dating a white guy?
>>155002948Second generation Asian Americans are pushed to naturalize by their parents. They are taught English as their primary language, often don't even learn the language their parents or grandparents spoke as a mother tongue, and become culturally American (read: white). Except they aren't white. They might get along fine with white kids while they're in school, but there's always a moment where they eventually find out they aren't really accepted as one of them. They'll always be "the Asian kid". This might be insulting enough on its own, but it's actually extremely confusing to the Asian kid in question because internally, he's not "Asian", he's an American, he was raised very similarly to the white American kids who call him "the Asian kid", to the extent he has more in common with them than his own parents. This usually drives the diaspora generation to desperately try to connect with their Asian identity, to own the label, basically. If they can't be white, then they'll be Asian. Except, to their horror, they don't fit in with the "real Asians" either. They're not fluent in the language, they have totally different cultural background, they are an outsider to their parents or grandparents' culture, even if they look like they belong on their skin. This feeling of looking Asian, but essentially being white on the inside, is where the term Twinkie comes from (yellow outside, white inside). You see this kind of experience reiterated over and over again in Asian Diaspora literature and other media because it's damn near universal for them. And it's sad. They have no connection at all to their ancestral culture, but because they look Asian, and might have some trace cultural differences (like having an odd smelling bagged lunch for example), they will never truly fit in. To be clear: I'm not saying all the whites they know are mean and prejudiced. They are often usually very nice. But they still think of you as "the asian kid". They can't help it.
>>155004725It's just culture shock. You would feel this way anywhere. You just need time to acclimate.There are lots of free spirited japs looking to cut loose with someone, you have to meet people and be social and go to places where people are. Get a Japanese girlfriend immediately. She won't last, probably, but that's okay.
>>155004725I dunno what you expected. Was your conception of Japan based entirely on anime or something? That could probably be a huge whiplash then.
>>155004692Just wear a cardigan and make white friends.The second you speak white english without vernacular, us whites know you're a white guy with a deep tan. Happens sometimes.
>>155002948They don't know anything else.
>>155008044Why not just make a society with other second-generation Asian-Americans and develop your own culture then?
>>155008044So we will have to see the same fucking story 1000000 times? Damn.
>>155003543>Only whites can have psychopathic helicopter parents.Asian parents, specially first generation ones are no better than your average white boomer parent. The only difference is one has slant eyes.T. Male asian dating white girl who's estranged from her parents.
>>155007874>This show seems more about how all the characters are fuckups rather than the typical intergenerational trauma slop.The trailer literally opens with their parents being very disappointing in them. Just because the parents are right to be doesn't mean it's still not about OMG MUH PRESSURE!
>>155008133Might as well keep roots with your heritage instead since that's be easier and make more sense
>>155005100That's because Asians are super racist to each other like white Europeans are. The issue was never that the show wasn't Asian enough, it was that Asians don't see each other as a larger group like whites, blacks and Mexicans do. Chinese, Japanese, Koreans ect all see themselves as completely different races and don't have any sort of unified blanket culture.
>>155004424Thats not true, there is also>I want to be white.
>>155008044That's unfortunate and all but there are plenty of groups with people that share the same problems yet they can make different types of stories.
>>155008044>They might get along fine with white kids while they're in school, but there's always a moment where they eventually find out they aren't really accepted as one of themBecause they always hold onto some weird nugget of exceptionalism without being exceptional.You have to walk the walk, you can't just talk the talk. Asians never understand this. Being American, really American, means you fundamentally transcend others appraisals. Being American means being able to go somewhere dangerous and fight bears and indigenous feather jeets, and chop wood all day to make your log cabin, until you've tamed a piece of it for yourself. You don't have to go do that, you have to have the fortitude to go do it and not care about what others think because your strength of character is absolute.If that's who you are, you can be born in Botswana, if your heart beats with freedom then you're an American.
>>155008133That is kinda what ends up happening in college, for them. In high school they might not have enough diaspora kids to hang out with to form a real clique, but in college there's usually different cultural clubs and such, and it's easier to form connections in the diaspora community, and they can form a kind of support group.If you mean, form their own fully independent and self-sustaining society as a racial enclave, there is no point. Because they aren't culturally different from the rest of America. That's the point I was getting at. Inside, the diaspora kids and adults are not functionally different from white Americans. They have more in common with them than they do actual Asians who look like them. It's purely superficial differences that make them feel "Othered" by whites. Essentially, there's nothing to be done about it. They're stuck between two cultures. They can never "own" American white culture because whites will always see them as outsiders, even if they were born in the US and raised in the US to be no different from white American kids. And they have an even worse chance of ever owning their parents / grandparents Asian culture, which is nearly as foreign to them as it would be to any white American. >>155008146Ironically they will look back on this era as a relatively good time to be an Asian American in this country. I predict that it will only get worse.
>>155004933Asian women are status climbers. They know that a white husband means access to white privilege
>>155008250This is stupid. The Asian kid is the Asian kid because he looks Asian. His appearance sets him apart. If kids ever go over to his house, his parents, and the decor in his house, immediately marks him as different. The white kids will understand that the Asian kid is different from them, even without understanding why they realize it, or what it really means. This difference, though, usually won't matter to kids, living their usual life in school, even if it underlies their relationship. It won't impact their ability to get along with one another, and make friends. But it's only a matter of time before that noticed difference rears its head in some socially awkward way. Note: the awkwardness is usually completely one-sided. Only the Asian diaspora kid will be embarrassed by the incident. White kids will usually not even be aware anything major happened, or that they upset the Asian kid with their behavior, because they don't understand the weirdness of his identity, and how confusing it is to him to be called "Asian" when inside, he doesn't feel Asian at all, and doesn't want to own that label. He cannot help the way he looks, he cannot control the fact his parents cook differently, or decorate his house differently, or gave him a strange sounding last name.
>>155003566>racemixing
>>155008371They are also huge cheaters
>average Asian-American story irl
>>155008374Kids will always say things without really understanding what it means beyond the surface level. When we were kids we knew a Chinese kid and we all called him Jackie Chan, which as an adult I can see was probably not the most racially sensitive thing to do, but also we were dumb kids and and Jackie Chan movies were cool as shit back then so it our heads it was a playful compliment.
>>155003566WMAF and WMAM are both good.
>>155005009That sounds like a problem if you live in a society full of only racist white people instead of second/third generation immigrants from all over who latch on to "American".
>>155008044>tfw my parents are both bilingual but didn't teach me the language and yet I don't have any angst compared to other Asians.Then again, my parents genuinely love me so maybe that's the reason so many other Asians are insane
>>155004725
>>155008148>Only whites can have psychopathic helicopter parentsfrankly, if anything, asians are much worse.one chinese guy i met was>forced to play multiple instruments>was given like 5 royal-sounding british names>shit on by his parents for his choice of wife (some kind of brown? can't remember) despite the fact that she's working in finance and making mad dosh (they estranged over this)his dad was a hong kong supremacist of some kind if i understood correctly.i've never met a white guy with this kind of lunacy, besides maybe the marrying brown people one
>>155004805Just say Three kingdoms and Journey to the west
>>155008423They should make a movie about this guy. It'd make the incels mad but regular audience would take it as a real life Forrest Gump, without the retardness
>>155002873Fuck those people, slopes are the most basic brained people.
>>155009274There’s a movie about that Yang Kyoungjong guy. Korean conscript who fought on both sides of WWII twice over. Allies as Korean then captured by Japanese and conscripted Axis then captured by Russians and conscripted Allies then captured by Germans and conscripted Axis again and finally captured at Utah beach on D-Day before returning home and fighting in the Korean war for the South then emigrating to the USA.
>>155004933Because asian women that fuck with black/brown men are on a whole other level of chaotic, raw, and real that the mainstream hasn't been ready for since the 90's
>>155009569>Fighting for worst KoreaHe's lame
>>155004933Dude, who knows. In Wisconsin's gubernatorial race there was a lady who wanted to abolish Thanksgiving because of white supremacy and said she was on the verge of an anxiety attack after taking her son to a restaurant with "too many old white people"....She married a white guy, has a half-white son, and wants to govern an 80% white state. How does one rage against the whites while taking white dick.
>>155009713Some people are just mentally ill and there's nothing more to it.
>>155002873It's the only narrative they're allowed to tell.
>>155002977No way around it. People who don't compete habitually become unaccustomed to it, and there's no boot camp for financial insolvency.
>>155008026
>>155008374He's being a dumbass anyway. America is a nation of bastards and orphans, if you can't empathize with that on a personal level then you can't sign on. Which is fine, because it's derived from fucking abandonment, that's no rainbow to chase. If you've got anything you can call a place in this world, please for the love of whatever you hold dear, keep it. In your heart, under your feet, whatever it takes. We would kill for that.
>>155010178for you maybe? im not a shitty cathloic or an inbred scott living in the mountains. I WISH we were more exclusive about who was white. ANGLO AND GERMANICS ONLY

>>155011525The guy does come off as kinda beta gay. But that just might be me being racist and giving him a double debuff.
>>155002977>>155008044Crazy how all 2 billion East Asians have literally one single culture which produces the same story over and over again.
>>155009713It's very common, actually. Because nonwhite women are insane, and think their children aren't "white", per se.>t. Californian, so I know many
all of you owe mating season an apology.
>>155011585Andrew will probably be gay because the voice actor Andrew Law is gay.
>>155011615That's basically the story of ever second gen immigrant except for LatAms.
>>155010006I'm so fucking tired of shit female characters. We haven't had a really good one in 16 years.
>>155008423I mean to be an astronaut you pretty much already have to have been the first two.
>>155012568For better or worse, latinos are used to leave their local culture and adopt the top dog's culture. Reminder that they were raised on an enviroment when they're taught to feel shame for their indigenous roots and they went through multiple campaigns of deculturization and genocide.
>>155002873It's kinda sad the way asians have been trained to believe their minority status still gives them all of the same racism and oppression problems as all the other minorities in America and it just legitimately doesn't. It's like they feel guilty that they don't feel more oppressed or more othered, so they convince themselves that they actually have some super deep and complex "intergenerational" issues and that they don't fit in with the rest of western society and that their values and struggles and familial issues are somehow so uniquely special and complex that they just don't relate to any other normal people in the country their family has lived in for generations.The race hustler shit has fucked up their minds so badly that they feel like if they aren't feeling the spectral hands of racism on their throats at all times that they are doing something wrong, so they feel more guilty and beat themselves up more for not feeling enough racism.
>>155004933In every clash of cultures, the same pattern always repeat. Women throw their men under the bus and embrace the conquerors. It's basically a generational trauma for western colonialism. America is a decadent superpower but still a superpower. It helps that white men always found Asian women attractive
It's not strictly an Asian American thing. I know someone with an 'Asian' Asian wife with no Western upbringing and she too has a catastrophic relationship with her mom
>>155013224The flaw is thinking that ANY minority in this day of AA/discimination/DEI laws, is "oppressed".
>>155013167You weren't lying lol. About half of them are some type of doctor.This guy, currently in space, is an Air Force Pilot, a physician, and now an astronaut.
>>155013280The fact people and execs still think this about women in general, no just one race but the whole other gender, shows we're never escaping this mindset. They still need to make content flashing back to the 50's-70's to depict sexism of the times just to keep making commentary about oppression.
>>155013280That too. The popular perception of things is that external forces are responsible for all the bad things that happen in black neighborhoods, for example, usually with the unsubtle implication that no one buy straight white men can succeed in America. That's just simply not true though, and Asians prove that. You can be born and raised in a completely different country, come to America, find you share all the same values, work hard, and succeed just as well, or better, than the people who are 10 generations born and raised in the US. This even goes for certain African countries. But for reasons that all minorities are made to believe are beyond the control of any individual, the reason *some* minorities struggle so badly is because... ... racism.
>>155013280Then go down to the Delta and tell the residents there how good they've had it
>>155004933>>155013261I got on r/asianmasculinity a lot, and many Asian men do the same thing too, they see sleeping with a white woman as almost like a religious goal, almost like the Buddhist concept of Enlightenment. Marrying a white man and entering in to his social circle is the easiest and fastest way that an Asian woman can get social status. I do have to criticize Asian men for not "doing enough" for each other. Asian men aren't really doing things like having parties for each other. Asian social circles just aren't as much fun and don't give you as many opportunities as white social circles do.
>>155013708It's like that for pretty much every race and gender, except black women.
>>155013167Navy SEALs have a reputation for being giga-retarded meatheads who are basically only good for shooting sand people (usually civilians), torturing prisoners to death, abusing drugs and children, and gang-raping Green Berets. NASA usually recruits from the US Air Force or US Navy Aviation.
Asian-bros...
>>155013794I mean yeah, Navy Seals have kind of lost the aura especially since Delta Force chads did what Seals only do in the movies early this year in Venezuela. But to be in any of those special forces you need to be at least somewhat intelligent, but moreso be able to make snap decisions under pressure or work in some of the worst environments known to man, pretty important skills for anyone going into orbit for months in a noisy smelly death can.
>>155013744I have to blame Christianity for this. Angels are usually depicted as blonde white women, and most Christian art is about white people. Many Christians and Christian influenced people of other races see whites as the closest race to God. A white blonde woman is the closest thing to an angel on earth.
>>155013214>Reminder that they were raised on an enviroment when they're taught to feel shame for their indigenous roots and they went through multiple campaigns of deculturization and genocideSo did the blacks and even they aren't as cucked as latinx
>>155011525If they are going for realism.Yes
>>155013280>AA/discimination/DEI lawsThey literally just rolled back all of those. Have you been living under a fucking rock for the past 2 years
>>155013941Changes in the government are like a reservoir of honey. Even with the doors thrown open it'll take a while to get downstream.
>>155011525>>155013932maybe notAndrew Law IRL is married to an Indian guy.
>>155004933Asiatics have awful faces, any non asian male face arouses asian females like crazy
>>155013990Never mind, the guy's Ashkenazi Jewish.
>>155013858>Please ignore who is running the ethnic concentration camps *today*
>>155013997I honestly blame American fashion for why nobody finds Asian men attractive. If you stick an Asian man in American clothing, he's gonna look awkward as fuck because it wasn't made with his frame and face in mind.This is part of the reason behind Koreans getting plastic surgery. They literally have to slice up their faces so they don't look weird when wearing western clothing.
