You can get Chinese food almost anywhere in the U.S., but the road to being one of the most beloved takeout options hasn't been easy. Join us as we look at how Chinese food and Chinese immigration have evolved in this country.

I feel like this is the reason I could never be down to BE WITH one, the cultural references and differences would be too different.
Same. I always just liked & dated Filipino guys. Plus the population of the area I was raised at is mostly Filipino.

I think the familiarity is a lot better than having your SO thinking that your culture is straight up weird. I was with a Chinese guy for a bit and that was the case.
 
I’ve only dated one filipino girl and she was frustrating. Kept sending mixed signals and wanted me to prove my interest in her. Don’t want to date another one even though they’re the only ones who laugh at my jokes.
 
My brother is dating a white girl and has been for around 5-6 years and my dad is pretty whatever about it. However, he did tell me he preferred if she was Asian and how it was weird at first that he was dating a white girl.

definitely some asian parents judge hard.
 
I think a lot of Asian parents don’t realize the more they push the “date your own race” agenda, the more some push back and not date their own race.

People being upset over this is exactly the type of divisive ******** we don’t need. It doesn’t matter if she wore it without knowing the cultural significance behind it. She did it with the intent of thinking it looks good. Nothing malicious, racist or offensive behind it.

People appreciating the asian culture whether it’s culturally or purely aesthetically is always a positive. Other people see it and it’ll gauge interest. Sure, it sucks it takes a pretty white girl to make it noticeable, but at this point anyone showing appreciation with our culture can only be encouraged.

Those dummies who are upset over this should stop listening to hip hop also, let’s not culturally appropriate something predominantly black. So ******* silly.
 
I really dont got a problem with the dress, but shes wildin for them bowing hand gestures.
To be honest I didn't actually read the whole article. Hnad gestures.... damn I need to look into a bit more

Edit:; Where were the mentions of the hand gestures?
 
I honestly took it as this

Not in the “racist” way some non Asian people see it.

But they look like the alt right Boyz
 
this. also im pretty sure thats a qipao, which is Manchurian. I guess it can be considered Chinese though....
I think ignorance over malice is fine.. which seems like this is. Don't think it's worth being offended and attacking her over it. However, the bigger issue is the ignorance of white people to make those hand gestures. I'm sure they meant no offense, but the widespread ignorance of different cultures in some parts of this country needs to be addressed
 
:lol: this reminds me of when I was in college interning and I had to assist a middle school teacher for 2 periods. i came in the class full of kids and the first thing I see is some kid doing that sign and bowing down to me. I stood there like :stoneface:

:lol: Reminded me of elementary, middle, and high school all over again :smh: I experienced **** like 24/7 back in those days.

Yep. Slant eyes gesture, "smelly/stinky" lunch, weirdo for using chopsticks at home, being ashamed my parents couldn't speak English well, last name being laughed at every time I won n award at school and had to have my full name announced. Story of many immigrants' childhood

Ditto. Nothing wrong with the young girl wearing the dress. Does look nice. Idiots gotta chill with the hyper sensitivity on stupid trivial stuff. Be curious those Chinese people that complained the loudest, when the last time they actually wore or knew someone that wore qipao. Bananas.

On side note:
-young kids tossing up faux gangster hand gestures in pics is pure wankster.
-go look up that mandarin collar jacket that has yet to drop with Asian motif and Supreme in Chinese on chest pocket. Going to be hilarious when see nonAsian Hypebeasts wear something my Great-Grandfather's generation wore as regular gear.
