sure i get the "minority" benefits, but i don't wanna be judged as someone who got to where they were today, just because they were born into a minority (in america at least) and got advantages.
plus, while the holidays are fun, i don't really see myself doing them on my own in the future. sure i might go to the occasional festival and dragon dance march thing, but i don't see myself being a hardcore asian like my parents.
i get it, china has backward behaviors that have lasted thousands of years to today, and since we've been doing so well, what's the point of getting rid of them?
because we're in america now, and i don't enjoy being called "my ugly girlfriend" by my dad in supermarkets, and i don't enjoy being called fat or disgusting or having a pitiful look at me everyday by my parents, and i definitely do not enjoy the fact my brother is my parent's favorite offspring. yeah, he has more pressure, but even if he fails, the repercussions are not as bad if i fail, because after all, all i have worth living for is a man who would actually marry me.
i know this is a rant, but i'm mad. and mad is bad. and blah blah blah.
luke's a jack ass.
i could become 'american'. but that's a horrible title. you'll be lumped in with our country's worst, and be given an even worse treatment by other countries. not only that, but who would even consider me american? they'll consider me asian first, american second when they learn i can't speak chinese.
btw i can't be president because i'm a minority, female, and atheist.
