>>107757613>>Its because we as americans define ourselves by the individual, so the idea that asian not being all one identity is terrifying to asian americans. The funny thing is none of us seem to care about the "american" part of our identity anymore anyway, african american, asian american, indian american, european american. Just a bunch of mutts all latching onto petty bloodlines that we don't know or care to understand, we just like feeling of brown beating each other with wikipedia levels of understanding about a culture we have to desire to discover for ourselves. I always though the American side of that equation meant we were all one people and let me tell you jack, apparently I was wrong. We're all just sinking on our own island proud that we're all dying alone togetherThe last decade really fucked that up didnt it.
I wish people would just acknowledge and accep they arent their ancesotrs. Cool, you're descended from an african king, that doesnt change that you're a skinny motherfucker working at McDonalds. Cool, you're descended from the vikings, that doesnt change that you're a 400 pound obese pedophile who jacks off to anime (looking at you, /pol/), cool, you're descended from the samurai, doesnt change that you're just some random fucking schlub like the rest of us.
Too much obsession over race shit. Creeps me out.
