<p>White people didn't change anything? </p>

<p>I agree that days like July 4th are essentially white holidays b/c they celebrate people like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, etc. If they're not white, I don't know who is.</p>

<p>What ticks me off is that I get the feeling that a potential White History Month would celebrate figures like that cop who shot that big bad black guy, or that general who taught those gooks a lesson or something. If there's any race that has oppressed white people, it's other white people.</p>

<p>Not only July 4th, George Washington Day and Abraham Lincoln Day in Feb.</p>

<p>I totally don't understand what you are talking about Chris, in what ticks me off part. >>;</p>

<p>Oh. I was saying how the kind of people who would be celebrated in a White History Month would be the kind of white people who put people of other races "in their place", as opposed to righteous white people who stood up to their oppressors (who would be mostly white).</p>

<p>so punk girl is azn... i couldnt tell... well it seems she is Fobabee or fobulous just from the stats... not a tab tho cuz tabs got to hang out w/ other tabs</p>

47

<p>all immigrants are fobs? you're no longer 'fresh' once you've been fully exposed to the american culture which can take as little as 2 or 3 years... so twinkies wouldn't fall under that. and korean/honger/viet/mandarin fobs all have distinguishing features that sets them apart.</p>

48

<p>Yes I'm an Asian girl. Distinguishing features? Are you talking about looks or characteristics?</p>

49

<p>How are you supposed to be able to tell over the interwebz? oO</p>

<p>I thought FOBS were people with the accents. The ones we make fun of. Kinda funny that even asians (Tabs and those other kids) make fun of them...</p>

50

<p>I have a little accent I think. Ha ha ha I love how my mom pronounce "Adidas." LOL She pronounce it like "Ai-di-dai." It sounds like in Vietnamese if you know what I mean. XD I don't know Quitejaded.</p>

51

<p>"So, asian guys, what's the deal? Do asian guys really not date white girls? Why not? What do you like/dislike in a white girl (or girls in general)?"</p>

<p>Im an asian guy, ill give my two cents. Asian guys are def. attracted to blonde hair blue eyed caucasians. At least, I am. So assume a good portion of the asian guys in your classes are.</p>

<p>Take each guy individually, if they fit the stereotype of the shy, nerdy asian guy, try taking the initiative...give them your s/n, phone number, and start talking to them alot...chances are, interaction with girls will be a novelty to them so thell know somethings up</p>

<p>If theyre more outgoing/socially competent, try approaching them as you would any other guy..most likely theyll already have some degree of selfconfidence/interaction with girls</p>

<p>As for "dating asian guys" try smoking with them if any of them smoke...go eat at mcdonalds with them...etc. but make sure its not too "datey", its gotta be a chill occasion</p>

52

<p>but in general....just treat asian guys like all other guys...nothing special about dating them</p>

53

<p>You don't have to smoke or McDonalds just to date them! >/ </p>

<p>The reason they might not date white girl or girls in general is because they're gay. It's a possibility or they are planning to become a monk in their life.</p>

<p>I seen Asian guys dating other girls besides Asian girls. >[ I find some Asian girls too clingy. oo;</p>

54

<p>"You don't have to smoke or McDonalds just to date them! >/ </p>

<p>i used smoking and mcdonalds as examples...if she knows a guy smokes...and she does too, then she can smoke with him...</p>

<p>if she knows the guy likes mcdonalds...then they can grab something from there</p>

<p>obviously shes gonna need to find out what the guy likes and plan accordingly...</p>

<p>"The reason they might date white girl or girls in general is because they're gay. It's a possibility or they are planning to become a monk in their life."</p>

<p>I hope youre joking about that.</p>

55

<p>Ha ha whoops my bad, I forgot to put not. xP</p>

<p>Okay that makes a little bit more sense firewalker.</p>

56

<p>sure does. ;)</p>

57

<p>LOL. >D It would be funny if it was true.</p>

58

<p>w/e.⌡⌡⌡⌡⌡⌡⌡</p>
