Dude, you know how I'm friends with this one chick. I've been showing you her comments.

So yes. D: D: D: She wishes she was ME for crying out loud lskdjflkjaw.

[case]

afghdghd It's all, no, you're not cool because you're funny or intelligent or creative or a nice person, you're cool because you're asian dfhgakjg I hate that so much

[(Anonymous)]

Don't tell people you are. End of problem.

[case]

I used to lie and say I wasn't, don't get me wrong.

But it's kinda general knowledge among everybody that knows me now. ):

Yeah, I mean, it's hard to miss the eyes, ya know? D: We should start using that magical tape!! OR GET EYE SURGERY LOLOLOL.

[case]

What eyes?

[infringe.livejournal.com]

WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM!!

[case]

Happened?

[soaringly.livejournal.com]

Asian eyes don't exist. You guys have slits.

... Indian Asians just get the huge hips. ._.

Have some intelligence. Clearly I only meant over the internet. If you want to post photographs obviously that'll make it clear, but if you don't how is anyone supposed to know? Or do we announce what race we are to new friends now.

[case]

Well, once you get to know people, you talk. Culture does play a huge role in your life. Even "what did you eat today?" is like, all asian food, and then people ask, you know?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't see why it's important. Taking your example: non-asian Fangirls seem to live off asian food and products. They'd be your fetishists.

For people you've known long enough to trust I can understand, but if someone seems fannish enough to do that why let on? Especially if you speak from experience.

[case]

Sometimes people just ask because they're curious. I've been assumed to be Caucasian by lots of people, and hey, if they don't ask, I'm fine with that.

My LJ is public, and there are pictures of me on it. Am I the one in the wrong by doing this? Am I supposed to take them all down because fetishist/fanbrats might swarm me? I figure it's common courtesy NOT to squee at people just because of what race they are?

"I LOVE BLACK CHICKS. OH MY GOD, YOU'RE A BLACK CHICK. I LOVE YOU." I'm sure there are people like that out there -- does that mean all black people should never post pictures, either? Or that they have no right to complain if people do that to them?

[(Anonymous)]

So avoid answering. Common courtesy doesn't seem to be in use lately.

Posting pictures is your own choice, I'm not trying to say you should/should not do something or are wrong. If you put them up however it's become something you might have to expect. If you don't want to expect it, lock and filter journals with pictures.

[case]

Avoid answering how? "I'd rather not disclose that?" Then they're all "uhhh why? That's really weird."

Yeah, I mean, you get to expect it, sure. Still doesn't mean you can't get annoyed by it happening. ):

[(Anonymous)]

Ignore the question. Change the topic.

[case]

If it were that easy, I'd still be pretending to be Caucasian.

[(Anonymous)]

If you were that upset/annoyed by it you would be.

[infringe.livejournal.com]

i second this ilu. ♥

[shahni.livejournal.com]

Group hug for the logical?

[infringe.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me!

[infringe.livejournal.com]

Wow, you want us to pretend to be who we're not? AWESOME ADVICE. Solves our problem, seriously. Thanks!

[infringe.livejournal.com]

SERIOUSLY slkdjflkjaw. It's like, dude, do you like me for anything else other than my race? Wtf all over, man. But I guess if people wanna be treated that way, then they can have the privilege. I'd rather be obscure/unnoticed than be put up in a glass box just because I'm Asian. D:
