I am scared of telling people where I am from.

[SOSTrooper]

I'm Chinese, from Hong Kong... You can tell me where you are from, since I don't think we have any type of conflicts ever between our country/colony's history.

Afghanistan.

But he specifically said it wasn't the country that started with A and ended with N... The number of Vietnamese in the USA is reasonably high right? No need to hide that either... What other country did Rambo visit?


And to the guy with the 'growing a spine' remark: You obviously never had to deal with racism/discrimination in your life.

Our only two choices (countries that Rambo went to) are Afghanistan and Vietnam.

WTF?? Not everyone on the internet takes it as seriously as you.

alright, if anyone takes offense sorry I'm just a bastard like that. Peace all.

You are way worried about nothing. Apu is Pakistani and we all love him....just kidding..... Who makes you feel uncomfortable? I literally live next door to a business owned by a Palestinian family and they have been nothing but amazingly respectful. I sometimes let them bring the little one over to play video games if they get busy and I am home laying around the couch. I am assuming you are uncomfortable because of the whole 9/11 thing and whatever...why?..we are all intelligent enough to know that you are not responsible for things that go in this world!! Hell, look at the posts at At surely you would not think that I am one of these Yaaahooos!!!! Lighten up!!


BTW..if anyone was ever actually threatening you...do not hesitate to call the police. If you do not get results..let others online know...they have many connections for getting things worked out!!!

Granted, these are only to my friends, I wouldn't make any of these jokes around people I didn't know.

Don't tell me you are one of those taiwanese who don't consider themselves Chinese

The only "true" taiwanese are the aborigenes.
Yes, there are some cultural differences between mainland and Taiwan, but is basically the same thing. Is like people from Sicily saying they are not Italians.

Just like Mongolian is not chinese?


Who cares about Mongolians?? Do you even know the conflict between Taiwan and China?? If Taiwan was a country like Brazil, Argentina, USA or Canada there wouldn't be any conflict to begin with.
Just like the only true americans are the native americans? Dude...how long does it take for people from a country to change their nationality to another?

I think he is thinking more of the people who indeed do not differentiate between fundamentalist freaks and the rest of the people. They do exist, and are as fundamentalistic and freaky as any foreign nutcase.

 

[WinkOsmosis]

HJahahahaha I never heard of Pakistan having a bad reputation...

The VAST majority of Americans are generally receptive to all peoples from all cultures.
This country was founded and built on immigration.... without the 30 million 'New Americans' that arrived in the early 20th century this country wouldn't be as strong as it is today.
There are, of course, plenty of exceptions. There are stupid people in every country and America is no different.
I do suggest avoiding trailer parks in the Southern US states. To them you probably would be a 'beloved patriot'. But the collective IQ
of these people comes in somewhere south of Red Dawn's age and even though Red is a dinosaur that's not saying much.

 

[IGBT]

Tell them your from some obscure place in New York. Everybody in NY has a screwed up accent.

 

[jemcam]

I have a brother in law from Beirut, Lebanon. He's lived in the US for 20 years and has been a citizen for 10. When people ask him what kind of accent he has, he tells them "southern Alabama". It's pretty funny, and people pretty much leave him alone after that.

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

if you can't trust people to understand that not everyone from afganistan is a terrorist or vice versa then you have a problem my friend.

 

[xospec1alk]
