Of course. And when they die their hair pink it'll be pink. But it's
always naturally dark. True or not?

Young Japanese girls have hair of many colours, just like their NA
counterparts.

Yes, because they dye it, silly. Jesus, this is like talking to a
Jehovah's witness. Political correctness is a crippling religion.

And then you've got residue food you picked up with the 'clean' end of
the chopsticks on your hand when you turn them around to shove food into
your mouth. Let's hope that hand was washed after a trip to the privy.

Careful, we have a few trigger happy racism card pullers here.

No, you are incorrect. I regard anyone as my equal, regardless of
what origin or religion they are - I go to the dental school at the
university, today it was a student from Kuwait, what a nice young man.
He eventually said to me 'where are you from?' and I laughed and
responded 'now I can ask you the same question' - but otherwise I
would not ask that question.

You make that sound like a revolutionary new idea, but I feel the same
way and I think most people here do.

By the way, the things you've said here about religion and religious
people, proves that you don't regard them as equal at all.

So he can ask you that, but you can't ask him that, unless he asks you
first. You're never going to understand this, but that's very
patronising.

That's where you are completely wrong. I worked with Immigrant
Settlement for a few years, an association that placed a worker like
me with a new immigrant family to help them get over the first steps -
such as greedy cell phone salesmen. We were all agreed, the worst
phrase was 'Where are you from?"

A friend, of Chinese ancestry (her great grandfather came here to work
on the cross Canada railroad and did not move west) and I have great
fun with it. We go out together and almost inevitably someone will
ask her, 'where are you from', at which point I say 'you're asking the
wrong one, I'm from away, only been here 50 years' she is usually more
Haligonian than the person asking the question.

So yes, although I was curious 'Meeza' didn't really indicate to me
where he was from, suffice to say he laughed because he picked up on
exactly what I meant.

I would have thought as an immigrant to Oz you would have more
understanding of a loaded question.

I don't mind if people ask me where I am from, although it rarely
happens because there are so many non-Anglos here, that no one raises
an eyebrow when they hear an accent. What I find discriminating is
that you pussyfoot around non-white people. You treat them differently
than whites. That's patronising and racist, even if your intentions
are good.

I haven't seen people shovel food into their gaping mauls on this rock. I suppose that people will do that elsewhere. The Chinese or some really hungry Asians might do that. Mostly the rice here is the sticky kind so it's easy to pick up with chopsticks. The foods served here are usually on plates so it's a good thing that we don't have to do that.

Rice shoveling is more common when eating long grain rice because the grains don't stick together. When I'm in a Chinese restaurant and have a hard time picking up the rice, I'll either use a fork or not even eat the rice. Eating Chinese style rice with chopsticks is tough even if you know how to handle the sticks. The next time I go to a Chinese restaurant, I shall try shoveling - even if it's just to have a laugh.

dsi1 is very protective of everything Asian. I bet he can even tell
some of them apart.

When I was going to college, I met two girls that I enjoyed talking to. The trouble was that I couldn't tell them apart. This was quite worrisome to me because I couldn't use their name when I saw them. This was a level worse than not knowing the name of a girl you'd like to get to know better. In the end, I just married one of them. Problem solved. I never was able to find out which one I married though...

As it goes, humans generally look all the same. Most of them generally have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. My wife recently told me that all haoles look the same to her. This was rather discouraging to hear. She's a haole and if she has problems with that, what chance do I have?

Hmmm I didn't say 'shovelling' ! What I meant was what was in your (?)
vid. They don't 'shovel' but they hold the bowl near their mouths. A few
inches rather than 6 or 7 inches. This is beginning to sound as though I
think they eat like pigs!!! NO!!! That is not what I mean at all (((

I am really sorry if that is how it came across.

I have seen shoveling. Mostly in Japanese movies. It's important that rice be shoveled when certain characters eat.

You don't hold the chopsticks by the end. You hold them somewhere between
the middle and the "business end".

Oden is a stew made with mostly fishcake, fried tofu, and root vegetables. Looks like he was eating some fishcake. I don't eat that kind of stuff but it seems strange putting mustard on fishcake.

Oden is a stew made with mostly fishcake, fried tofu, and root vegetables.
Looks like he was eating some fishcake. I don't eat that kind of stuff but
it seems strange putting mustard on fishcake.

I've seen many orientals raise the bowl to their mouth and ramrod it
into their gaping maws with their sticks at warp speed... especially
the women... nothing ladylike with how they eat. And from the moment
they sit down they yak, yak,yak, even with mouthfuls of food.

That guy was a very funny guy - he makes me giggle too. He was arrested at Honolulu Airport for trying to bring in some dope. He claimed to have no idea how it got in his underwear.

Yes, as did many.

In Asia (generic, no specific part of it), if they serve 'group style'
then they almost always have a special set of serving tongs just like
western folks will have a big spoon or such. It's rare to not see that.

Any other situation, you reverse the sticks so only the 'clean end'
touches the communal bowl if they didnt have serving tongs.

You seem to be insisting all asians look alike because they mostly all
have dark hair. Sanne is right. You are being racist. But then, you
knew that and are just looking for a rise.

He's not the only one who can tell people apart instead of your racist
stance.

My guess is that the 21st Century is going to be where Asia gains pre-eminence in the world. This is not wishful thinking, it just seems to be the direction we're headed in.

China already has it's grips on our movie industry because they have the cash and are interested in funding big blockbuster movies that will do well in the US and Asian market. I was watching "Baywatch" the other day and it panders to an Asian audience - a big movie where things don't have to make any sense at all and lots of jokes about bodily functions. Corny too. China is going to change everything. That's the breaks.

I can tell Asians apart. Apart (haha) from the female jury members on
Iron Chef. They're all pretty and identical.

LOL! Funny! You would make a good cop. Let that person off and it
might scare them into never trying that again. Much better Hawaii

You think? They would be more likely to try it again and they would go
around telling their friends what a fool you were for believing them.
