Two Blog Rings to take note of…
Asians with no pride vs. ! ~ aSiAn PrIdE wOrLd WiDe ~ !
Typical “Asians with no pride” member:
colored hair, “punk” clothing, and pictures of beastiality or their non-Asian boyfriend/girlfriend
Typical entry:
a lot of crap about hating life (also known as “goth”—which I call “unnecessary depression.”)
Typical “! ~ aSiAn PrIdE wOrLd WiDe ~ !” member:
profile picture must be of them striking either a gang sign or posing as an import model (A.K.A. failing to be cool); lots and lots of pictures of the “kick ass” party they went to; shoutouts to people no one else cares about
Typical entry:
a lot of crap about drinking and partying, punctuated with Asian slang word (dong ma?!?)
I am neither fascinated nor very much impressed by either of these two groups, as I find them to be hopelessly incapable of understanding anything about culture. On the one hand, Asians with no pride devalue their ethnicity and try too hard to not conform to the Asian stereotypes—not realizing that they are only conforming to bad American stereotypes.
On the other hand, Asians with too much pride have taken their ethnic values and morphed them into something that’s more of a bubblegum fad. There is nothing Asian about them anymore—they walk the walk, and talk to the talk…but they have no idea of whether or not it’s their heritage they are proud of, or the Dance Dance Revolution everyone thinks it is.
These blog rings are pathetic excuses people use to try to stand as a separate group within their culture–and it’s pretty freakin’ lame. What does it really matter how much pride or how little of it you have? You’re just Asian…and no matter how much you try to alter that conclusion, you won’t seem any more or any less so to other people.
So those Asian pride/Asian no pride blog rings can kiss my ass—and so can anyone who joins them. Can’t find anything else to make you more unique than everyone else, can you? Go burn yourself with acid—that’ll make you one in a million. Jerks.

i found ur xanga when i was looking for a restaurant for rent on yahoo.com, i looked up “takeout for rent”, i just thought its really out of the ordinary so i left a comment
What I can’t stand is people with no sense of history … whether it’s one extreme .. asian with no pride or the other … asian with too much pride. You will find that both groups have no f**king idea about their heritage, history, art, music, culture .. anything that would justify their shame or their pride.
To me they are no better than the ignorant bigots that uses terms like chinks, niggers, kikes and whops …
