Well when it comes to my specific tastes as a Black/Spanish dude who identifies with hip-hop/Black/Spanish culture, then yea being familiar with what I'm into makes anyone that much more cool in my eyes regardless of race.

Isn't that any kid of any race in general?
Replace the word asian in your post with any race and it would still apply.

I just dont understand why you would preface it with "I dont wanna sound racist" especially if it applies to everyone.

Because when you say something that's probably racist, you usually start it with "I don't wanna sound racist."
Duh.

LOL. I'm trying to say that I dont think what you said is racist because it applies to everyone. But prefacing it like that makes you sound racist, thats all I'm saying.
Maybe I'm thinking of it differently because where I'm from, everyone kicked it with everyone. Everyone beefed with everyone.

I feel what you're saying, bruh.
Where I'm from is very segregated. I live in PG County, MD where everyone (like 70%) is Black followed by some White/Spanish and then everyone else kind of finds their place amongst those dominant cultures.
Basically EVERYONE, regardless of race, for the most part identified with Black DC/Metro culture, unless they identified with White culture or their own family's homeland culture.
So because of those demographics, the Asian kids tend to be more like Eddie "Half Man Half Amazin" Huang.
Ya'll see where I'm comin' from?

I actually think he covered most asian american. I didn't even see a racist statement and there was no reason to even start with "I don't want to sound racist".
The funny thing about asians even though I always hear how "they stick together" is how verse we are to other cultures. This might be more with the newer generations but it amazes me how some asians can take a culture and curate it perfectly as if it was their own. But slowly those initial asian guidelines passed down from our parents are slowly being pushed out. I really think it's not even a race thing and more so a location thing. Asians are way different say in Cali then they are in the East Coast and I am not even talking about what culture they follow. I know some asian chicks from Brooklyn and they are some tough cookies and then I'd meet some girls from say So Cal and they are more subtle and what not.

Are you saying Asian American culture is being phased out?

i think he's trying to say they are assimilating to American culture and not learning their own culture.

Not sure if phased out is the word. More like each generations are adapting to their surroundings. American culture is a huge influence whether it be within the media, social media, television, people around us, etc that it's easy to lose touch with a culture thousands of miles away. If your parents (like my own) didn't bestow that on to you, it'd be hard to really know your initial roots.
The next couple of generations after us will be an interesting thing for sure.

You're gonna love the book, it has all kinds of references to the blunts, broads, basketball, and of course, the dipset references.
