yeah i so get what u meancrazy spinster said:don't you just love how people think that all asians look alike?
AHHHH!! i get that too! it drives me CRAZY. it's like, "hello, i'm right here, i can still hear you SAY MY NAME." plus, i can understand a lot more vietnamese than i can speak so i know what they're saying about me ("oh, what a shame..."). grrr...it just frustrates me. :angry: and my parents wonder why i don't like going to family get-togethers. -_-Crawstinium said:i don't speak chinese either and its really sort of awkward whenever we have these big family get togethers, ppl are always trying to talk to me in chinese (even my grandma) and it takes me a while to explain to them that I DONT SPEAK CHINESE
and then they go and talk to each other in chinese about me and all i can understand is "blah blah christina blah blah" its kind of embarrassing, i feel bad that i'm not "respecting my heritage" or something
WOW! I'm german, vietnamese, japenese, austrian, chinese, italian, irish, just to name a few! That's all I know for sure!alias8000 said:I know Charlie.Charlie said:Please understand that by the AllAlias.com Community Rules, anyone is welcome in any clique regardless of the clique's name.
I can sorta understand Tagalog and I know some words but I knew a whole lot more when I was a little kid.
My background is humongous! It's German, English, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Phillipino, Chinese and Malysian.
Sorry for the double post!! My mom's side of the family (every type of Asian you can think of) speaks a lot of languages, Chinese, Japenese, Thai, Vietnamese, and all the time whenever there are these big get togethers, and there aren't anymore, they would talk to me in those languages and then I'd be like, wha? and they walk off and I'd here the same thing, only with my name!! I felt like such a loser!!Crawstinium said:i don't speak chinese either and its really sort of awkward whenever we have these big family get togethers, ppl are always trying to talk to me in chinese (even my grandma) and it takes me a while to explain to them that I DONT SPEAK CHINESE

plus, turnipcouch is constantly teasing me about how bad my chinese is
but that's what sad. even other asians can't tell i'm asian. well, about half of them can, and maybe 2/3 of the adults.alias8000 said:if i looked at you i bet i could tell. i could tell by looking at your eyes. you know how asians have that point at the end of their eyes? well, that's a way you can tell. I look lcaucasian too. nobody can tell i'm asian too (except the asians of course. duh!)!
