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.

Looks like someones set up a wiki. Sounds like a better idea than another blog.

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.

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?

YvesPaul - I don't think Asians like math ... we just happened to be better at it than most.

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...

What about rice?

Yes, non-Asians eat rice, but not like we do: with everything, including pasta and pizza.

asian people love pastries that don't taste sugary.

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

How about "bitching on internet about other Asian people"?

See, for example, http://www.8asians.com/2007...

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.

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!

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.
