db123: you just made me laugh. you seem to be a big fanatic. especially for pafn or something.
oh marcus? my friend has been there for 2+ years. she stayed in singapore before that. so she basically knows the stereotype well. seriously, you guys should go urbandictionary asian or something. you get the general stereotype there. and even wikipedia. all edited by actual people.
'nincompoop'? lmfaooooo please tell me you do not use this word in real life. also, thanks for stalking me. at least you know where i'm coming from. i don't dislike east asians or whatever, my best friend is like from mainland china. a fact is a fact.
um and how am i 'wrong.'? prove it at least. i have that azn sorority link to show you.
"Currently, the MGC consists of Latin, Asian, multicultural and local fraternities and sororities. The sororities and fraternities of the Multicultural Greek Council are:"
UVa alpha Kappa Delta Phi
'asian american'
SYZ > Lambda Chapter @ UVA
these are your asian sororities. as in east asian.
this happens in america. not just your pafn. so chill out. and sorry, but it's not changing the fact that most of your pafn people are east asian. what's your problem anyway? that i said a majority of the pafn comprises of east asians and they claim it to be for asians? okay so i can see 1-2 other asians there. but i'm talking about majorities. :| don't scare potential members away. i'm raising a concern for you too, that happens in US. seriously, go ask any caucasian/afro-american friend of yours what comes to their mind when you say 'asian'. do it.
from urbandictionary (the people's dictionary):
Urban Dictionary: asian
"(Attempting to add a decent, more serious and accurate definition to the lot.)
In the United States, the most common use of the word refers to people originating from East and Southeast Asia (China, Japan, South/North Korea, Vietnam, among others). Indians and Pakistanis might be referred to as South Asians, where as Filipinos and Samoans might be called Pacific Islanders.
In England, "asian" most commonly refers to people of Indian or Pakistani descent, whereas "oriental" might refer to East and Southeast Asians (NOTE: "oriental" is certainly considered politically incorrect in the United States)."
you find something like that on wikipedia too.
oh and i am a girl, marcus. i am not basing an opinion on what she has told me after living there for 2 years, but i'm basing it on MEDIA (tv shows, movies, internet) and active correspondence with my american friends. i have many. just because i haven't been to a particular country doesn't mean i don't know anything about it.
and yeah since i don't live in US, i actually recognize this issue. americans don't.
