We Have Been Too Content.
It’s anger time now.
Sorry for the hiatus, we’re back and angrier than ever.
Yellow Fever.
Sometimes I feel bad and shameful that I use this to my advantage. I’m a stereotypical asian girl who like white guys. It’s not even a matter of race, but still why is my preference as such? And why are some guys preferences are asian girls?
If love is truly blind, then how come I’ve never fallen in love with an asian guy before?

It’s a freakin huge ass continent. Yes genetically there are similarities, but for fuck sake’s stop telling me I don’t have fucking Asian hair.

Confession:
I’m tired of people dating me because of my race. But maybe my personality alone just isn’t great enough to win people over anymore. That is all.

Harajuku Lovers is a pretty interesting example of things people do to Asian cultures. Let me just present the image and let it speak for itself:
Okay I guess I can’t let it speak for itself. It’s the ad that harajukulovers.tumblr use for their icon. It reminded me of the first time I...
Things to say when you don't want me to like you:
Me (Lylynn): For real! It’s dope!!
Tommy: You’re dope.
Me (Lylynn): Haha I know. I’m a G.
Tommy: Don’t be a big head. I just love the Asians.
Me (Lylynn): Haha Whatevz. There’s a lot of them.
Tommy: Yeah, but I only know one who I have things in common with and who is short and who is kind of cute.
Me (Lylynn): Oh really??!
Tommy: Yep. You are one unique Asian.
Me (Lylynn): ...

I sometimes think I’ve found my way, but shit happens to remind me I am nowhere near the end of the journey.
I got into it hella deep with moms this weekend. It started off with my mom telling me once again how much she hates my tattoos & piercings. I usually brush it off with a laugh & think to myself that she’ll get over them someday, but something else happened this time. I...
Subtle racism in daily life
I know what you’re thinking, “Another post on racism, Lylynn???!” Well, yes! It’s a different kind of racism that I am talking about today though.
It is the little remarks that I hear from friends and acquaintances that bother me from time to time. So subtle, that I don’t bother confronting them about it. I am sure everyone that reads this has an Asian friend or has...
Dating non-Asians.
I won’t lie, I have never dated an Asian guy. Yeah, I have had crushes on them when I lived in Southern California, but outside of crushes - things rarely work out for me with an Asian. I think it’s mostly because I have alt-interests and thus, when I do meet an Asian guy with similar interests - he typically likes to date ‘white’ girls. I don’t care. I’ve dated...
Racism duly noted.
I’ve been discriminated against my entire life. It’s not as bad as it is for a black person, I’m sure. However, it was small remarks that got to me when I was younger that made me wish I was a blonde hair blue eyed - Nazi approved - white girl. Those days have passed. I have heard a few racial slurs the past couple of years, but nothing that made me angry. I guess it is sad to...

“We’re going to have to get used to this new international power family — aging mogul and foxy Asian wife flaunting a double-wide with newborn and adopted Malawian tot. What’s next — the token trophy pet? I hear endangered Burmese rabbits are exceptionally cuddly.”
Well I say FUCK THAT SHIT.
Dear Asian Mother,
Don’t think that you can resolve a dispute with your daughter by offering to make her favorite homecooked Asian meals?
Seriously…seriously?!
The Asian Hipster →
“But hipster racism (indeed hipster sexism) isn’t just a rebranding of old racial paradigms. It is a new, novel form of racism that, at worst, could possibly be resistant to critique because of the inherently blase nature of the subculture. Try to talk to an hipster about race, and you would likely get a nicely packaged race apology or perhaps a vacant stare and some kind of truism...
Affirm-nation

Let’s live like we’re citizens of the Affirm-nation.
A place where food packages list Happiness as the primary ingredient. A place where dress sizes are: “Just Right”, “Smokin’ Hot!”, and “You’re Beautiful” A place where mirrors say: “Caution: Images are just as wonderful as they seem.”

White guy: I've been wanting to get with an Asian girl lately... I got that yellow fever.

7 Things NEVER to Say to Asian-American Executives →
glenda:
Asian-American executives too often find themselves fighting to disprove the “model minority” stereotype, a group that works hard, is rarely controversial, but ultimately is not “American” enough for leadership opportunities.
Or, like, to any Asians.
I can’t count how many times I’ve gotten “No, where are you really from?” or, my personal favorite, “What...
PSA: BEING ASIAN IS NOT A MEME
I don’t even understand how this shit started…?!!
I CAN'T WEAR YELLOW.
BECAUSE I AM YELLOW. (Not the jaundice kind either.)
Some assface
hikrista:
decided to say, “Konichiwaaaaa over here, come on bitch!” as I passed him on a sidewalk today.
Was he Asian? Of course he wasn’t.
Did I want to shove his entire greasy face into one of his dirty nostrils and rip his tacky black shirt with dollar signs on it, mix it into a blender with the spit he spat and make him drink it, throw it up and drink it again?
Of course I did.
I’m not...
My mom is so fucking typical.
She’s pissing me off man. She’s just another asian mom who hitched it with a white man to come to the U.S. and then it blew up in her face.
Sorry honey, but Ohio is no way in hell it’s as glamorous as L.A. or New York or Chicago. So stop making everyone one else an asshole just like you just because you’re unhappy. And please leave my dad alone. You’re hurting him.
Just because I'm useless
DOESN’T MEAN I’M USING YOU.
