Even being white wouldn't filter out the racism to your eyes and ears when you hear things like Jewish homes and graveyards being vandalized with swastikas.

LOL you're the guy that made that retarded "this girl isn't a real Korean" blog.

SNORT.


LOL so that's why his name was so familiar. Wassup koreasilver.

I had the same reaction to the fake asian thing as to the fake Korean. Just... "What..?" I also don't like how you categorized the fake asians and fobs. I mean I understand concept of a Chinese person trying to pretend to be Korean by eating kim chi exclsively with raw eggs and uttering out broken Korean, or a white person trying to pass off his wannabe Korean with the fact that he took classes for it to satisfy his superiority complex in the wonderful field of language. But where are the 2nd generation asians that were born into the country in your systematic diagram?

It's quite rude to list them as "The Rest" category.

Frodoguy, are you Asian? From past blogs and this is sounds like you're not. You found only 2 of the broad categories and there's a deeper classification. For example, aside from Fobs and Fake Asians, there's also Bleached. Those are the Asians that are so disconnected from their heritage (usually born in North America) that their practically white. Within Fobs, for Chinese at least, there's Mainlander, Hong Kong, and Taiwanese. Hong Kong be the coolest yo, we can cruise with everyone cuz we speak Cantonese and Mandarin and Mainlanders (especially from the south) and Taiwanese love TVB. Within Mainlander it breaks down into North and South (it's not some sort of rivalry and it's not exclusive groups, they just like to identify what cities and towns they come from).

Now "Fake Asians" is a term that's used for varying degrees of ABC and CBCness. I'm going to use Asian because that's what most people I know that know call me. For example: "Wow Teh_LiNk, you're so Asian. I thought you'd be more White." If you were Fob, then they'd just say "Wow Teh_LiNk, you're so Fob." Some Asians can switch between being bleached and fob. Where as Fobs are usually only into music, fashion, etc, from where they were originally from, a lot of Asians are into other Asian cultures, like a Chinese person is into Korean music and food.

Personally, I'm an Asian that's on the extreme side. Fobs don't dislike me, I'm friends with a lot of true Chinese (mainlander and Hong Kong)fobs. They find me cute for some odd reason (especially the girls ). I speak a very childish Cantonese because I left Hong Kong when I was very young and they think my use of slang that kids use is hilariously cute. I also speak Chinese with English words sprinkled in (lack of vocabulary) which they envy and find cute and hilarious (ho duk yi)

Korean fobs though, I have a sneaking suspicion that they think I'm a try hard or something. The Korean Wave got me and I got into Korean stuff too. I have a few Korean friends and they think it's all cool and all that that I like Korean stuff. But they're not fobs, they're like me, really Asian.

My attempt at categorizing Koreans from my experience in Canada..

Mmm. I don't completely disagree with the OP, but he's describing everything from the view of the FOBs, which is pretty unfair. The "fake Asians" that the OP describes are those that go through the worst identity conflicts, as they want to retain ties with their mother culture despite having spent most of their life overseas. I don't think that having been born overseas makes you any less Korean; it's only when some flaunt their Korean status(because being Asian is suddenly so cool these days) that they start to irritate me.

Wait, so not only are you attempting to speak about Asians when you're not Asian, now you're trying to say that the things that happen in Canada within the past couple of years never actually happened... when you're over in Australia being a weeaboo.

Okay. Carry on then.

I would like to keep my nationality a secret so as to not face discrimination seeing as you see alot of racism on the net.

And when i say fake asians, i mean second generation asians but thats abit too long so i call them fake for simplicity.

Honestly were in a generation where
there is no such thing as a F.O.B
the only ppl who are consider that are foreigner who migrated to where anyone is
so i guess everyone is a fake asian >>
i being an asian in highschool with a monarchy of white ppl on top and asians being no where in site, i still understand the generation we have today of "asian americans"

Honestly asian americans need to still remember culture witch is getting slimmer and slimmer :/

And you don't see anything wrong with shortening "second generation asians" into "fake asians"?

fobs vs banana men -.-

Asians are status oriented and that is pretty much all there is to it. For the banana men, if you are not born there then the length of your stay in the country determines your worth to them, unless of course the fob in question have some secret weapon in their sleeve like have good looks, really rich or is a genius in some form or other.

fobs on the other hand carry on don't give a single fuck to all this. lol

me <=== fob
