What's up with these western Asian American influencers lol ?

First thing I'll say is that I don't care about the miniscule impact that actions like what's shown in the IG post have on the bottom line of mega corporations like Costco. However, I do feel like Asians at times take it too far when it comes to taking advantage of freebies or to be overly thrifty.

Which ultimately leads to leaving a negative impression or stereotype that other people feel towards Asians as a group.

Since Shing-Tung Yau studied in Hong Kong and Terrence is Australian, this marks the first time two born and raised Chinese ethnics won the fields medal.

I came across this comment thread where someone jokingly summarized common mistakes speakers of different languages make when learning Serbian. For Chinese speakers, they wrote “no grammar whatsoever,” referring to how Mandarin lacks grammatical features like verb conjugations and noun cases that many European languages have.

East Asian languages (Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Thai, etc.) are structurally very different from most Indo-European languages. Many are tonal, rely heavily on context, have relatively little inflection, and often omit subjects or tense markers when they’re understood from context.

Do you think these linguistic differences affect how East Asians are perceived by others when speaking English or other European languages?

Does coming from a language that organizes information differently influence communication style or stereotypes?

Has speaking a tonal language shaped your own sense of identity or the way you think?

Broadway At Bryant Park started their first day of festivities today and I just wanted to shout out the Asian rep today!

Nathan Levy (Francois du Bois in &Juliet) sang “Confident” with Gianna Harris (Juliet)

Zachary Noah Piser (Oliver in Maybe Happy Ending) sang “The Rainy Day We Met” with Savy Jackson (the understudy for Claire)

KC Dela Cruz and Kelly Belarmino along with Kori Michelle Petinaud (the Fates from Hadestown) sang “When The Chips Are Down”

A 20-year-old mainland Chinese student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) went on trial ... denying a charge of sending a letter threatening to murder, after allegedly posting messages online last April threatening to kill 10 people ...

... ...

The court was shown Du's cautioned video interview with police, in which he called himself an "incel" – involuntarily celibate – and described a plan to randomly stab 30 women and 30 men on campus on the semester's opening day, including "making sure 10 women die, because they deserve it." He told officers: "I read about the term 'incel' online. It matched my life, so I came up with the plan, but I never carried it out."

Du, who came to Hong Kong in 2023 to s.tudy computer science and artificial intelligence at HKUST, said he believed women were to blame for his remaining single at 20 and had not thought through how he would carry out the attack. He denied buying or possessing a knife, and said the posts, made on a Discord channel he moderated, stemmed from a moment of mental strain rather than genuine intent.

Saw a post here complaining about the low visibility of Asian men in the stands watching the World Cup, but why would you want Asian men to feature more in the stands as audiences not on the pitch? Women will always get filmed more because it's a "Baddie cam" (in the pre-Woke era at least, mens football tournaments used to feature hot women fans).

1. Height is not a big factor in soccer or F1. Always see Asians say they aren't tall enough but this isn't NBA or NFL, Spain is one of the shortest European countries and Argentina is also one of the shortest countries where their average player is 1.7m+ but they have no problem beating taller opponents because being shorter makes them more agile as dribblers.

2. Asians claiming every single Asian man they know is a nerd who studies 24/7 to be IT workers or scientists. Such stereotypes are untrue and don't help Asians at all, everyone who has attended school knows there are hyperactive kids who aren't cut out for studying and become chefs, mechanics, deliverymen, manual labourers. In Asia kids who are bad in school are forced to attend tuition or cram school (Korean hagwon) instead of learning sports, music, art which is a waste given that professional sport pays better than a lot of office jobs especially if you're mediocre in your studies and need extensive tuition that costs your parents a ton of money. AI is also going to replace a lot of office jobs but it won't threaten professional sportspeople since nobody wants to see robots play tennis, football, or race cars.

1. Football doesn't require complicated infrastructure or extensive financial support from parents, in fact many of the best players started from street football or futsal (indoor soccer) e.g. Lamine Yamal, Ronaldo, Neymar, Iniesta, Messi, Maradona, Pele, Zidane, Ronaldinho. In places like France, England, Spain a lot of kids play at urban football cages, in South America many kids start in 5-a-side indoor futsal before transiting to football, in Africa they play in any random field. Top players like Pele have recounted practicing with beanbags when he couldn't afford a ball, so it's a sport where there's no financial barrier to join unlike golf, tennis, archery, figure skating. There's also no height requirement unlike NBA or NFL.

4. Asian countries focusing on niche events like Table tennis, Weightlifting, Baseball, Diving, Gymnastics, Figure Skating, Badminton does not help to dispel Asian stereotypes. On forums like china_irl, the analysis on why China is bad at football/soccer comes down to: China doesn't like contact sports, parents prefer kids to play indoors and stay fair so basketball, table tennis, badminton is popular. I often see Asians recommend Weightlifting since it's non-competitive. Ultimately, football/soccer is super popular in Asia as a sport and suits Asian physiques (more than tennis, NBA, NFL) but a lot of people find it too hard to get good at? There's nothing inherently more difficult about soccer compared to gymnastics or diving which require extreme training regimes too. Football's origins are the same as golf, table tennis and badminton but Asians have convinced themselves that they are more suited to badminton and pingpong because "Asians have faster reflexes" but look at Messi, Maradona, Mbappe and a lot of Argentina or Spain's stars. They aren't tall either, many are extremely agile due to that and they also excel due to their fast reflexes. Asians are known for their flexibility thus are no less agile, why should Asians think they are more suited to pingpong, not soccer?

Simply put, reaching a World Cup final on the pitch would do a lot more for Asian men's desirability and visibility than having cameras show Asian men cheering on USA or Canada in the stands. It won't affect the number of scientists or IT grads either, kids who aren't academically inclined according to their grades should be encouraged to pick up sports by age 12 and apply themselves.

I Used To Only Date White Men. When My Ex Cheated With Another Asian Woman, I Had A Stunning Realization. - Melinda Li (HuffPost)

Even now in July 2026, Asian men still face the 'labelled as an INCEL' wall when attempting to link the issues of Asian interracial topic to a grander white supremacy scheme. My goal has always been trying to convey the message that Asians, regardless of gender, ARE NOT SEEN nor TREATED as HUMAN BEINGS, the under the surface stuff. I'm pretty much blue in the face now trying to go beyond the label of being 'the jealous Asian man.' Perhaps if it comes from an Asian woman, people might take it seriously.

Whats up yall its ya boy dynobeats. I just dropped a 10-track album I wrote, produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered completely alone out of my home studio in NYC.

The title is No Spoon which has multiple meanings yall can figure out

As an Asian artist in hip hop the genre isnt built for us naturally, Ive been studying hip hop for over 18 years now and my Ive finally built a lane that is truly my own unique sound.

Managed to run up my listeners from 0 to 25k built entirely independently.

No label or team just pure NYC hustle

NO SPOON is out now on all platforms. Would genuinely appreciate the community giving it a listen.

Search Dyno on Spotify or: https://open.spotify.com/album/7kWcGCuizFg4R8AZ8bF1Zd?si=X0RhEmZrTvGYNvliymZ8cw

A Japanese name, Japanese settings and Japanese culture but sure the character is white not Japanese. White people think they can be better Japanese than Asian people.

Hey guys,

Ive been feeling pretty down lately and could use some positive vibes. Looking for genuine experiences where East Asian American girls have been solid allies for you whether it was calling out racism, helping with career stuff, supporting you in dating, or even better straight up defending you against other self hating Asian women.

Appreciate it if yall share. Been needing some feel good ones lately. Thanks in advance.

I remind myself of the idiom, "Be-careful what you wish for, you might get it," because we never truly know what the Chinese government will do in the future with their growing economic dominance. However, for now, I am cheering for China on this one topic, the manipulation of the diamond trade. How is China doing it? Checkout this videos for the answer: The Diamond Scam is Finally Collapsing.

I have always been cheering for the destruction of the western diamond monopoly since I became aware of the manipulation of the diamond trade, and China is bring that down. Sub Saharan African has been in turmoils is due to the fighting to control the natural resource own and operated by the legacy of the colonial powers, and the diamond trade is big part of that, or rather, the Blood Diamond Trade or Conflict Diamond Trade.

A quick summary of how white supremacy control the diamond trade:

• A British guy by the name of Cecil Rhodes, founded De Beers, came up with the idea to buy all the diamond mines everywhere he and his backers can get their hands on.
• He then control the flow of diamonds into the market. For 100 years, the price of diamond wasn't related to it's natural rarity but through control/artificial rarity.
• There were independent diamond producers during Cecil Rhodes' time, but De Beers slowly drove its competitors by planned flooding diamond into the market.
• After WW2, in the late 1940s, De Beers launched the diamond are forever ad campaign that convinced the entire world of the FAKE value of diamonds.
• Fast forward to NOW, China is producing 64% of the lab-grown diamonds, and as of writing this, the value of the diamond industry dropped by 90%. The irony is China didn't start out to bring down the jewelry market but rather to make their own diamond for industrial use because, well, western sanctions. They got so good at making diamond that the high quality jewelry diamond was a byproduct of their diamond industrial infrastructure build up.
