    also... omd's "living in oblivion"
  • John · 1 year ago
    Funny, my college friend used to call "Bizarre Love Triangle" the Korean national anthem.

    Asians like Japanese cars - Honda's, Toyota's, Nissan's, Acura's, Lexus's, Infiniti's, etc.

    Ha..great idea for a site, anyone up for making a stuffasianpeoplelike site? Contact me!
  • yoshi · 1 year ago
    Dare i say it? White chicks. Um...I'd probably also say, Karaoke boxes... well, a lot of folks like karaoke...but it's not like a karaoke box in japan...

    oh, karaoke of beatles "let it be" or "yesterday". I can't count the number of times my mom sang those songs. ugh.

    I'm sure I can come up with more. LOL

    I remember in my college days and on the usenet group SCAA (early-mid 90s..*sigh*) thatall the East Coast Asian Ams insisted that "Bizarre Love Triangle" was their anthem. Considering that I'm a California boy and was a hip-hop fan, I couldn't understand it at all!

    What's Bizarre Love Triangle? Oh nevermind I'll find it on YouTube. brb.
  • Akrypti · 1 year ago
    Ok I've never heard this song before. Ever. And I'm *very* Asian.
  • burt · 1 year ago
    Doood! That is thee Asian American anthem! despite being by a British band.
  • Xxxtine · 1 year ago
    Let's not forget Notorious B.I.G's "Hypnotize".

    I would like to also submit that Asian people like drinking water - straight up scalding hot.
  • Grace Chu · 1 year ago
    How about "bitching on internet about other Asian people"?

    See, for example, http://www.8asians.com/2007/08/10/why-asian-gir...

    :D :D :D

    on the theme of white people can't dance:
    * straight white people love dancing sloppily to YMCA and not knowing how gay it is.
    * hopping up and down thinking that it's dancing like the pogo

    other things white people like:
    re-appropriating "exotic" ethnic clothing as the new fashion

    asian people love pastries that don't taste sugary.
  • April · 1 year ago
    What about rice?

    Yes, non-Asians eat rice, but not like we do: with everything, including pasta and pizza.
  • hadashi · 1 year ago
    see, all these comments just prove to my hapa self that my white side is totally subordinate to my Asian side. the rice, the pastries, the scalding water... and all these years i naively thought everyone loved Bizarre Love Triangle as much as me & my friends...
  • YvesPaul · 1 year ago
    Karaoke, BBQ Pork (Cha Siu), Dim Sum, Congee, Copyright Piracy, Mahjong, Buddhas, and Math!!! lol...
  • Xxxtine · 1 year ago
    YvesPaul - I don't think Asians like math ... we just happened to be better at it than most.
  • Jackhonky · 1 year ago
    How can you be asian american and not know/have heard BIZARRE LOVE TRIANGLE? Totally odd.

    That said, I will TOTALLY extrapolate and say that there is a definite overlapping musical taste in the gay community and the asian american community back in the late 80's and early 90's. Anything synthpop was much beloved by both (Depeche Mode, Erasure, New Order, Pet Shop Boys. OMD). However only the hardcore peeps listened to the B-list 80's synthpop (Information Society, Anything Box, Camouflage, Red Flag, The Communards). Strangely, in my personal experience it was the hardcore Super Christian Asian Americans, and the Flaming Homosexuals who both loved the B-list bands the most.

    On a separate note, I have yet to meet a white person who likes Dried Cuttlefish, and I have yet to actually meet an Asian who doesn't emphatically announce "I LOVE THAT STUFF!" when it comes up in conversation.

    As for things that white people like - kanji characters as tattoos. what's up with that?

    Stuff Asian People like?

    Apparently, they like posting stolen pictures to their own blog, taken from Rannie Turingan with no attribution to the artist, whatsoever.

    *poke* Ernie, *poke* Kevnull:

    Loved Bizarre Love Triangle since forever, it's my favorite song of all time. But never knew other asians liked it.
  • Ernie · 1 year ago
    I was talking about this with my friends the other day, so it has to be said here: HOT WATER DISPENSERS. Why yes, I DO have one in my house.
