Asians - do you plan on eating rice when you grow up?

<p>


</p>

<p>Most likely referring to East-Asians-Americans. After all, Americans today think Asia when it comes to mind as in the Southeast such as Chinese and Japanese.</p>

<p>true dat! ;)</p>

<p>I know an Asian kid who's allergic to rice. He definitly won't be eating it when he grows up. But then again he goes to college, so he is grown up.</p>

<p>And as for myself, I'm Italian, and I definitly plan on continuing to eat pasta.</p>

<p>i'm a true asifkh*an*.........so, don't have much idea to leave off rice....I mean it's fine as food, I don't need to rebell against my parents by not eating rice atleast! (LOL!)</p>

<p>I'm a second-generation Asian. I can't speak Chinese, barely use chopsticks, and know nothing of Chinese history or culture. But I definitely plan on eating rice. Rice is awesomely delicious. Going without it would be a difficult conduct, to say the least.</p>

<p>You don't have to be able to use chopsticks to eat rice.
Rice is delicious.</p>

<p>Just my persona opinion but if you want to get back at your Asian parents, instead of swearing off rice which is pretty much a staple of my diet then why not get pregnant (or get a girl pregnant) at a really young age and drop out of college?</p>

<p>I'm Indian, and I plan to eat rice... It's been a fundamental food for me, and I still love it.
Try biriyani, and tell me you don't like rice.</p>

<p>Are indians Asian?</p>

<p>Well, I'm an Indian living in India, and I personally found his question a little weird...anyway I guess I will eat rice when I grow up, but not everyday!</p>

<p>of course Indians are asians...and yeah, I plan on eating rice when I grow up. Not that our family eats that much of it anyways (mostly naan/chapati), but like a poster above said, try biryani and say that you dont like rice. it's impossible.</p>

<p>lol I hate confucian values. and i openly resist any culture (except um, techno-progressivism:p), although i have always been obsessed with romance of three kingdoms</p>

<p>^ that's b/c ur a teenage punk. once age, nostalgia, and wisdom kick in, you'll be yearning for your native culture. at least that's how it was with my dad and grandpa.</p>

<p>It is for most people. I have reasons to believe that I'm the exception. Already people my age are becoming more conservative, whereas I'm becoming more libertarian. Most people don't read research journals to contradict the values of their parents :p</p>

<p>For another thing, most people of my socioeconomic status end up marrying - my chances at marriage are hopeless (and I'd be a horrid parent)</p>

<p>Most importantly though, I'm socially isolated so I'm now virtually independent of peer influence</p>

<p>I am very nostalgic, but I don't let the nostalgia affect my values (see, I miss some key periods of my public school experience, though most of it is before 7th grade, even though i've turned against public schools)</p>
