| a visitor, "do you guys put air freshener in the air ducts?" i looked at her with a confused look on my face, then i said, "i don't think so" she said, "i keep smelling this perfume smell in more than one place, it's the same smell and it's irritaing me."
i shrug my shoulders, "i don't think so" thinking to myself, "maybe it's just you lady"

| I work at the info desk at a hospital and a lady came up to me and this was part of the weird, agrivating conversation we had. her: I'm going to be taking Chinese lessons because I don't want to burden you. me: what? excuse me? sorry. her: (holds up a pamphlet written in English) you having to read things in English. me: I'm born here, i don't even speak Chinese. her: oh. (holds up the pamphlet for me to see) Isn't it beautiful? me: ummm... i've been reading and writing English my whole life, i know it. there was more, but omg my heart started to burst out of my head! I know she's crazy, but still, this was the worst one yet. | | |
| Has anyone read the article by Marie Claire? http://www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/advice/tips/asian-trophy-wife
I'm outraged! The editors of MC and the author should really take a hard look at themselves. Generalizing all Asian women and reducing the relationships that they have with white men to nothing more than a stereotype. "They're dating a white guy, and they may not know if it's a fetish thing." really??? We've been reduced to being a fetish? "It's like a curse that Asian-American women can't avoid." I can't believe the sources that were used for this article. I'm pretty sure Chu chose what would fit her article, did they know what they were doing?
I'm not saying that the article doesn't have some truth. BUT to say that this article pertains to ALL Asian women and white men, you must be out of your minds! I can't even comprehend or put into words how disgusting this article makes me feel. You can read the comments that have been made. there are 2-3 there that must not be looking at the same article, or are just ignorant.
If this article had been written about any other ethnicity or race, i'm pretty sure that the editors of MC would not have put it to print. just because it was an Asian woman who wrote it, it doesn't mean that it gets the approval from Asians/ APAs everywhere. MC needs to re evaluate their article choices and how they think of themselves as a women;s magazine.
