<p>the Asian work ethic is threatening to most people.</p>
<p>My Viet friend+roommate and all his extended family live in Huntington Beach. Then he drove me to “little Saigon” and I was like WHAO. So that’s my anecdotal experience. lol I seriously went from knowing 2 Vietnamese peeps to knowing 200.</p>
<p>all I know is that where I’m at, it’s overwhelmingly white followed by a hispanic minority and then a small asian minority. We don’t have blacks. ok, maybe one or two.</p>
<p>I love the Asian work ethic. I want to be taken in by some Asian family so they can teach me to be that paranoid of failure.</p>
<p>^^ I’d love that. As it stands, I’m a horribly complacent person. One compliment, and I start lagging. Harsh criticism drives me. I’m looking forward to going to a REAL college where my peers aren’t stupid. It might activate my inferiority complex and cause me to actually try. I want to be the ******* who screws up the curve for everyone.</p>
<p>^ I’m the same way, xelink, I wonder what’s similar about our upbringing to make us that way.</p>
<p>UCLA university of cant learn anything</p>
<p>no clue. I’m like my father, I’m the laziest ****ing workaholic there ever was. We both want to put in the absolute least amount of effort to achieve our desired results. </p>
<p>I’m thinking I might have a bit of a subconscious inferiority complex. I was always overly thin and was a bit antagonized and belittled for my frailty. Admittedly, I’ve packed on some muscle… actually a fair bit(I gained 50lbs of largely lean body mass). Now that people treat me better without any justifiable reason save for looks… the amount of work I feel I need to do to be “good enough” has declined…
I’m bright, I have a genius level or near genius level intellect I just… don’t do anything. I’ve hardly studded for any classes. My worth ethic is less than your average C student at a community college. It’s bad. To put this into perspective, I’ve spent roughly 4-5 times as long on this forum than I have actually studying or doing homework this term.</p>
<p>in conclusion, if left in front of a computer, 5 hours of time will go by instantly and I will accomplish NOTHING.</p>
<p>xelink: irvine is 70% korean. i live there. not korean though. tustin has some asians as well. garden grove is all korean, torrance is korean, there’s another city as well… i’m asking my friend. i forgot which one, diamond bar, rowland heights (chinese for these two)/alhambra etc</p>
<p>fv also has a bunch of asians</p>
<p>edit2: class of '09 at UCI is insanely hot. mostly korean though hahaha</p>
<p>Fenris, I’m just wondering, other than going to UCI, why would anyone want to go and live in Irvine? I like the weather in huntington, CM, and newps better and in general, Huntington(not AT the beach) and CM are cheaper to live in. What does Irvine have going for it other than a monopoly over the regions intelligent asian chicks?</p>
<p>**** irvine.</p>
<p>edit: i just wanted you to see the **** irvine first. </p>
<p>personally, it’s a really nice neighborhood; a step below high class newport. high-middle class = irvine. irvine also has some of the best schools in the nation: northwood high, university high. class of '09 university high sent like 30 kids to ivies, 50 to cal, and like another 80 to LA.</p>
<p>huntington i dunno… i don’t go there much, but i’m sure it has a higher crime rate than irvine. CM kinda blows. it’s just mad dreary.expensive newport is awesome. richer people live there.</p>
<p>Irvine is just a big bubble. it’s a prototype utopian city mandated by the irvine company. we aren’t even allowed to have straight up bars. they have to be restaurants that “house” a bar. no hookah shops, no fun, no nothing. we have to go to CM to club, CM to hookah (or huntington) etc. all we have is… irvine spectrum… and that’s closer to lake forest. heh.</p>
<p>yeah… that’s what I was thinking. I mean it is supposedly safe, but I don’t really see it as having anything special when you factor in the local areas with a comparable(or marginally lower) cost of living.</p>
<p>it’s just a higher class community. if you go and look, everything is relatively new and looks generally nice. unlike CM/FV/huntington/GG etc.</p>
<p>and the monopoly on asian girls? um… Koreans.</p>
<p>i’m asian but i have yellow fever. this is how i break it down: Koreans are the hot ones, Japanese the cute ones, and Chinese just average. The hot ones are hot, but very few of them.</p>
<p>Torrance and GG have the hot ones, but they’re wannabe gangsters. The ones in Irvine are also hot, but a lot of them are super straightedge. Irvine = super conservative hence, prototype utopian society.</p>
<p>I will agree. I do like to be around higher class people. That said, I’d rather live below my means myself and invest whatever I can.</p>
<p>I come from a family of misers and real estate whores. Both sides.</p>
<p>if you want to know more/discuss more i’m on aim just pm me</p>
<p>did. Always down to talk man.</p>
<p>Ucsd’s surrounding area (la jolla) is very similar to irvine, respectfully. Both are “nice” places to live, both are incredibly sterile and boring.</p>
<p>Is UCSD respectable in terms of academics?</p>
<p>if you are a mixed child such as Middle Eastern and traditional Asian (Korean, Chinese, etc.) what do you put on your college application?</p>
<p>Do you put both or just Asian because the Middle East would be considered to be in Asia. </p>
<p>Been wondering about this for a while.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Is this some sort of joke? All the UCs barring Riverside and Merced are all ranked in the top 100 in terms of academics; UCSD is ranked #12 in the world for the ARWU. </p>
<p>Is UCSD respectable? LOL. Why are you even asking this question? Any school that has at least a Nobel laureate as a faculty member can be considered respectable. SD has like… eight.</p>
<p>and yeah Organic, La Jolla is actually more like Newport Beach, but it has an even higher per capita income. People in La Jolla are disgustingly rich. The environment is a bubble just like Irvine though</p>
