Someone REALLY doesn't like this Max character...... But if he really is a brat they're right that having Aspergers doesn't excuse his behavior.

Can I just say I greatly approve of this new category?

Re: Unreadable

+1
Even if people are using Paint to make their secrets, they can easily make them readable.

I don't think unreadable is a new category? At least, there was something for this kind of secret before, iirc

It could be, but I've just noticed it being used recently. Either way, I'm happy.

Okay, as an Indian girl, honestly FUCK YOU! What the fuck is 'acting white'? Do mean because I don't have a funny accent and run around in a sari like some ridicules fucking stereotype?! Because I'm not fresh off the boat? NEWSFLASH: Being a Westerner and asian doesn't make you any less asian.

IF I ever here anyone go on about 'acting white' or 'not being asian enough' I am going to shank someone. I am so tired of this bullshit.

YOU ARE A RACIST DOUCHEBAG.

Re: NF 1

(Anonymous) 2012-10-06 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep. Another Asian anon here, I am so sick of this "acting white" bullshit.

As far as I can tell, there's no real difference in how people of different races act. Everybody gets up in the morning, goes to work/school, spends time doing things they enjoy, eats, sleeps, and hangs out with their friends. Sure, exactly what they do might vary depending on culture, but at the root of it, there's no real way to "act white" or "act Asian." :|

Another anon.

This is why I prefer western/eastern (as in hemispheres) to white or asian. That makes it about culture and not about race. There are asian people I know that are extremely "western" in thought and action, and white people I know who are very "eastern" in thought and action. What you are is race, how you act or approach things is culture.

Somebody being from a western culture doesn't make them white.

You can't win. If you wear your heritage proudly you're not acclimating to life in the west and are living in the past. If you act like everyone else around you, you're ashamed of your roots. If you're like most people and somewhere in the middle, it's never at the right place in the middle to suit whichever jackass feels like braying today.

Also, isn't being a doctor a pretty stereotypical Indian occupation?

Re: NF 1

(Anonymous) 2012-10-06 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know much about this show, I just get really pissed when some obnoxious ass claims that an asian person is 'acting white'.

But yeah, doctor is one of the stereotypical Indian professions. Not as popular as convenience store clerk, mind you.

Do you hate us that much OP? :(

...You know. My first though, reading this, was '..Wait, you *want* a character that's a bunch of bad stereotypes running around? 'Cause...that's really not cool, bro...and kinda racist.' Then I actually stopped to try to figure out what you meant by 'acts white'.

Now, I'll admit I'm white so I could very well be missing something here but...um. Honestly? I've known plenty of people who weren't white who acted like that, but were still very much whatever ethnicity they were a member of. It just seems to be a *western* culture thing, which...really, isn't the same thing.

Re: N!S 2

(Anonymous) 2012-10-07 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
The OP is racist.

As an Asian person, it's highly offensive to say we're 'acting white' when we don't act like a complete over-top stereotype. There is no such thing as acting 'black', 'white', or 'asian' unless you believe that racist stereotypes are real. There is only culture. And being part of Western culture doesn't change your race.

Next thing you know we'll be criticized for being too light-skinned or our eyes aren't the right shape. Oh wait, they already do that!

The problem with it isn't that she's "too white". That's ridiculous and dumb. The problem with it is that it's an incredibly bland, generic sitcom with no points of interest.

Um, you're kind of just complaining about who Mindy Kaling is. She's an American acting like a dumb American girl.

But I can see the white guy complaint, as that's also what her writing staff seems to be full of.

I could not get into the series because it just seemed to be a series full of Mindy being really into herself, which worked on the Office when I thought it was just her character, but now I feel like that's just her coming through.

It's just not a good comedy, she's not acting white though, she's being herself.

Yeah, that's kinda offensive to mixed race people and interracial couples. It's not like we're over-represented in the media... Or at all.

Re: ns 2

(Anonymous) 2012-10-07 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Technically speaking they could have interracial couples without involving any white guys.

Honestly though, when mixed couples are on tv it's not because television wants to represent more mixed couples, it's because they want more white people in television. If an established character is already a person of color, then if they go the mixed route they will definitely make the second half of that couple white.

So while it's great that Mindy is the star and we're getting mixed romance options, why is everyone she surrounded by white?

As anon above said, there are mixed couples that don't involve a white person.

It'll probably be put in the failbar as unreadable/English-only please because that's what happened to that The Hobbit secert written in Tolkien runes transcription of English. Please do it anyway? :3
