I think I stumbled upon this site through a blogroll on another asian site. BetterAsianMan.com is about providing information for the Asian-American male on how to be confident and successful with women. In other words, picking up girls they could only imagine. Ladies, before you get judgmental, hear me out. Yes, the main “goal” of [...]
William Lee has written a great article on AARP discussing about the Chinese tradition of the extended family model and how Chinese Americans are following the nuclear model like most Americans. William believes the reason is that:
A) It allows more freedom.
B) It allows more individuality.
C) Is how most families are.
By going with the nuclear family [...]
An article written by akrypti on 8asians.com sparked my interest on writing about a somewhat related topic which I’ve always been meaning to get to…Do you ever feel a bit embarrassed not knowing how to speak the language of your parents/grandparents/ancestors/etc.?
Me, not knowing how to speak Chinese (Mandarin/Cantonese), I often find myself out of place [...]
According to a recent study by the College Board and New York University, they think so. Math and Science apparently are no longer the “main domain” for Asian Americans. The College Board and New York University had this to say:

For a while, I’ve noticed this. A situation occurs where your ethnicity is mentioned, and it feels like most of the time, non-Asians automatically assume you’re chinese. Two things can be basically going on in your mind:

2) You aren’t Chinese and [...]
So I was talking with my sister a while ago and she brought up something I found quite amusing. Apparently she said something along the lines of her not being Asian enough, and she doesn’t have the “aura”…On the other hand, apparently she said I do, lol. Weird thing is though, I hardly know any [...]
If you are Asian, chances are when you are having an alcoholic beverage, your face or whole body starts to turn red (This happens mostly to just Asians and not Pacific Islanders from what I understand). This what people refer to as the “Asian Glow”. When this happens, “those that don’t know” consider that [...]
It’s been a few weeks since I last frequented a Chinese buffet, but it’s always pretty much the same no matter where and when you go. I will jot down some of the common observances that I have found which mostly applies to all Chinese buffets universally. I took some pictures on my cellphone while [...]
I get this one question a lot: Would you date out of race?
In all honesty, I find this question to be a bit silly. Not just the fact that why does it really matter if someone decides to date out of race, and why is it any of your business to begin with, but the [...]
So I was just thinking when I was on my youtube page [which are called "channels"], I was reviewing all the things I’ve watched, saved as favorites, and reviewing my playlist. I looked at my avatar and noticed my background. After all that, I was like.. “OMG, hey its like another one of them pages [...]
