An interestingly racist article… even I’M offended.
If it’s war the Asians want…
It’s war they’ll get
Max Karson
Issue date: 2/18/08 Section: Opinion from THE CAMPUS PRESS of Colorado Univ.
Since I transferred to CU last year, I’ve noticed some tension between the white students and the Asian students. There’s never any outright conflict, but I notice little things. Like, Asians always seem surprised whenever I talk to them. They stare at me for a few seconds as though I must have made some mistake, and once they realize I’m intentionally speaking to them, they aren’t always thrilled.On the other hand, white people are quick to ridicule Asians. They have no problem with making demeaning remarks about their looks, mannerisms, and accents-things they would never say about black people.
So when an Asian refuses to make eye contact with me or dismisses me with a one-word sentence, I just say to myself, “Max, Asians are not evil cyborgs. They’re human, just like you. And if you were a minority student in a sea of walnut-brained business majors and skiers, you’d be crabby, too.”But last week, I had an epiphany.After my friend and I finished working our abs at the Rec Center, we decided to head upstairs to tighten our buns on the StairMaster. As we walked down the hallway, a rubber ball bounced out of one of the racquetball courts and landed at the feet of an Asian in front of us. He picked up the ball and leaned over the railing of the court nearest to him.
“Hey, that’s not ours,” I heard a guy call up from the court. The Asian stared down at him for a moment, and then held the ball out to him. “That’s not ours,” the guy said again. Read the rest of this entry »

Dating Outside the Color Lines
Dating Outside the Color Lines
Is it just innocent color-blind love, or Asian evasion?
What do you mean by ‘dated?’” asks my friend Claire,* a Korean American graduate student who is living with her boyfriend, who is white, when I ask her one night over drinks if she has ever dated an Asian guy.
“You know, something more than a couple of dates,” I explain. “It doesn’t have to have been a boyfriend, but someone you at least went out with for a while.”
Claire pauses and takes a thoughtful sip of her gin and tonic while I look at her expectantly.
“Well, there was this one guy,” she begins, launching into a story about a Korean American guy she had known at one time, who was good-looking, they were friends and hung out all the time.
“So did you ever go out with him?” I cut in.
“No.”
“Why not?”
“I don’t know. It would’ve been weird,” she says, looking uncomfortable. When I press her for details, she squirms, looks away, takes another sip of her drink, sighs and finally takes a stab at an explanation. Read the rest of this entry »

A Follow-Up to “Looks, Feels and Sounds like Asian…”
Some findings when I googled “why do whitewashed asians look caucasian”, which is how, I’m guessing, the people who commented on “Looks, Feels and Sounds like Asian…” found my recent blog post. (There are some pretty angry fobs out there!)
Try googling the phrase itself to find more additional sites.
*Some comments from these sites are true, whereas some are not. Pertaining to me, that is.
