Asians!!!

[Jamezo]

From a Cambodian friend of mine:

(her Dad to her sister's fiancee, around the dinner table, with a straight face) 'For the best meat, you give the good meat to the cat, then you eat the cat.'

[heyjoe]

Thats what we say along with other choice comebacks ... My olds have owned a chippie and chinese takeaway since I was a little nipper and seen our fair share of wags, abuse and lovely folk.

Other retorts :

"You serve cat?"
"Yes we do, make sure you take off your pet's flea collar and wash it first!"

"You serve flied lice?"
"Yes we do, would you like the side order of bear's paw and tiger penis?"

"You should give the fish for free since its ours under the Treaty of Waitangi"
"Yes its free for you, the $1.50 is for us processing and holding it for you"

"Why don't you go back to your own country?" <-- Caucasian
"Well mate, Great grandad got here in the 1800's...when did you lot land?"

"Ying chong ching chong"
"Fark! Didn't know you were the idiot from the other village! Only they talk like that!"

"So...is this authentic chinese food?"
"Mate, you wouldn't want our authentic chinese food! Go to some other chinese shop you've mistaken us for!"

"You don't look chinese"
"You don't look half as intelligent as you appear to be"

"Do you serve chinese?"
"No, they take all the shellfish, drive badly and force up house prices. Screw them!"

"Can I have some chinese?"
"Why not, try some caucasian, samoan, fijian, etc while you're at it!"

Yeah, my dad's hard case - always gives a serve when he serves Mum just ends up rolling her eyes

LMAO
You couldn't have said it better.

Must add that to the retorts when the customers ask "Do you use good meat?"

I showed your reply to my chinese mate and he's currently rolling on the floor clutching his ribs.

I guess it takes an asian to appreciate some of the finer points of it The rest of the gweilou's can just eat creamofsumyungguy! j/k

Yeah, being a banana (yellow on the outside, white on the inside) in this day and age gives me some insights to both sides of the fence!

That wasn't very nice - distracting yer mate with the jokes and then kicking him in the ribs......

Oh he wasn't joking! :P

Honestly, I hate the term. It's such a broad generalisation of people that it really is unhelpful for anything apart from gross generalisations, often derogatory and almost always wrong.

- Asians are bad drivers
- Asians have squinty eyes
- Asians are geeky math geniuses
- Asians know kung fu

Which Asian you talking about? Chinese? Japanese? Korean? North or South? Malays? Indians? Thai? Cambodians? Hmong? Shan? Karen? Khmu? Khmer? Indonesian? Indonesian Chinese? Dayaks? I could go on for awhile, but you get my drift... Each of those people groups have populations larger than the entire NZ population!!

Ok, my main beef is that each time someone says, "An asian driver did [insert bad driving behavour]." What they are implying is "so watch out for asians on the road". Why else would you include the person's racial description (however broad and inadequate)? Same applies to women and old people. If it was an average whitey (what is that anyway?), then people would just say "An idiot cager [insert bad driving behavour]."

Everytime someone makes a generalised statement like that, it just adds to very unhelpful racist feelings.

I'm all for general ribbing and piss-takes, but it's quite clear at times when it's not a piss-take and reveals underlying prejudices.

Okay, rant over

Happy again

when you go to the zoo do you look at the monkeys and say, oh there .. a spider monkey or.. oh blimey.. there is a tamarin monkey.. no you just say ''look at those monkeys"
same with asians... you just say ,,, look at those monkeys..!!!!!! oh... (i mean asians.....)

[GIXser]

only fucking kidding people------

get over it, be a native

The problem is that when people get cut up by asians on the road it's easy to steroetype because you notice that they're asian more (if you're a honky). I've been nearly killed by drivers of countless races but asians stand out more so people say "bloody asians" or whatever and pigeon hole a whole continent of people into the bad driver category. If it's a honky that's driving two feet off your back tyre you just say "fucking idiot" with no reference to race. From my experience I'd say drivers are drivers and race doesn't make much difference, except christchurch drivers, those guys are nuts.

Belgians: avoid, at all costs.

I've never had any trouble with French drivers (save for one lovely lady spanking my mate off his ZX6R outside Le Mans: gotta love that old priorite a droit rule) and, as I think you imply, German and Scandinavian drivers have been exemplary in my experience.

But Belgians, especially in Belgium, scare the bejesus out of me. If you're not doing a ton plus, less than a foot off the guy in front's bumper, you just aren't playing their game.

Having been in God's own for nigh on a week now, I've got to say that Kiwis aren't very high up my list of the world's most careful, observant and courteous drivers. Demerits for all of you, I'm afraid. Especially anyone driving a slammed ricer with a stupid spoiler bondo'd onto the boot. Oh, and the private plates -- high correspondence between private plates and potato-headed driver, it seems.

Anyway, nice to be here, and three cheers to McJim for making me and the clan feel welcome.

I'll live, mate. And it's certainly no worse than the UK. I reckon a couple of weeks in California has spoiled me a little bit.

Exactly......if we were driving in Asia it would be the other way around.....number of people who complain Asian's cannot speak English.....if they were in Asia they would have less cluse about speaking Asian than Asians do at speaking English..........
