that justice league of china thing is nice, but why are the chinese versions seems chunkier to me?
also chinese lore has better 'heroes' than the asianized versions of dc properties tbh
Ne Zha's adventures and stories alone fascinated me to no ends when I was a child, and that's not even mentioning the big names like Wu Kong, .....plus heroes from romance of three kingdoms, and other ...more fictional and original characters like the ones from the Condor Heroes trilogy, etc.
but.
it's nice, i guess :3

I am pretty strict in this regard: either take off your shoes or you are not allowed to enter my apartment. Most people in Germany don't care whether you take off your shoes or not, but my friends are used to it by now whenever they come over

First thing I do when I come home is wash my feet because I'm afraid they would smell when I take off my shoes.

Those last two sentences are day making.
The writer of that article needs to chill on the formatting. Great post by Bennett though.

I dunno if it's thread worthy so I'll just put it here.. if someone else wants to start a thread about it feel free.
Smh...shit just makes my blood boil... we argue about bankable Asian American actors ... here we have one right here and he has to audition for a 5 line part.

Yeah, just copy that link and paste it next time someone tries to argue that there are no bankable Asian actors.

I'm so tired of reading threads about China and Trump here. All posters care is that Trump is messing up. No one talks about how shitty the actual One China policy is. No one actually cares about Taiwan. All posters on GAF care is that they can mock Trump some more. No one talks about the Taiwanese and Chinese side of affairs.
Ugh.
Ugh.

I don't think most of them understand or care to find out what it is.
Socks are typically all I wear in terms of footwear indoors and that's only if it's cold.
It's 7 in the morning and I'm still craving fish.

So I've been playing Mafia II.
It's a good game (despite the huge waste of an open-world sandbox) but since it's set in the 40's/50's, it includes the culture and attitudes of the time. And that attitude includes Chinese racism.
There's a part in the story where you deal with the Chinese Triad. So, because you keep company with foul-mouthed gangsters, a lot of the "C" word is thrown around, along with references to their skin colour and eyes.
What is also interesting is that while there are no significant black characters in the story, the ones that do show up are not subject to any racist comments (I never heard the "N" word). There is segregation and racist stereotypes, but nothing terribly explicit.
The kicker is that an Italian-American organization accused the developers of being racist towards Italians.

That's what Mafia 3 is about. A lot of racism against blacks in that game in the narrative sense and mechanical too. I did like the empty open world in Mafia 2. It was really there to add more context to the world and they did a good job of it I think.

I was having dinner by myself in a little Chinese fast food place. Valentine's Day is definitely a thing here in China, so I paid attention to couples just for the heck of it. I wasn't going to let it get me down. It gave me an idea to send her flowers.
I took out my GPS and ran around to find a flower shop. The flower shop wouldn't do it because it was too far. I ran to the subway and went to her area to find a flower shop. I'm surprised how well Apple Maps work in China even in English. I was able to find another flower shop and have them sent.
I figured I should combine the aggressive and more neutral advice I was given. No point in sitting around waiting. I just haven't figured out how to properly combined the aggressive and neutral advice until last night. Not going to give a fuck. Even if I lose, or she throws the flowers away, I felt really good doing that despite knowing how uncertain things are. Even if I fail, and look back on this years later, I have no regrets.

I know this gay couple, and I told them my story a few days ago. They said it sounds like a really good romance story. I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Thinking back, it's good to know I'm still a cynical as fuck even through all of this.

Go to the salon or barber shop or whatever, and when they ask you what you want, tell them whatever it is they think would look good on you.

So, what you are telling me is that you have been playing Mafia whilst you're playing Mafia

aaaa tht's okay bunbuns
next time a mini mafia runs i will tell u? it usually only takes 7 to 10 days to wrap up, may be something that would suit bunbuns' busy life better than the bigger games (...which can take up to six weeks to complete):>
did you nail CPA????
I feel it is just a matter of time before Trump starts turning his attention to Asians with discriminatory executive orders. What's he going to do after he dealt with Muslims and Mexicans, right? He is always very negative about China too so that's a natural extension to his discriminatory actions. What do you guys think?
This is basically what I've been telling my mom. Sure Trump is only really going after Mexicans and Muslims now, but it's quite obviously only a matter of time before he targets other people. And I have to imagine there are quite a few illegal Asian immigrants too.

Yeah, I think so, too.
Steve Bannon also hates Asians, so.. probably.
It's weird to think that no one would care about what happens to you unless whatever was going to happen to you would eventually happen to them. I feel like you should care regardless of whether or not you're in danger of it happening to you.
But that's going off track a little. It's naive for anyone to think that they're getting out of this unscathed.
Did it? I'm getting the impression people are calling out those students for being thin-skinned. Or at least this is my own evaluation of the situation
Last time I looked in there I think people were upset because the students compared the Dalai Lama to Trump in levels of intolerance, and that while it makes sense from China's point of view it seems weird from the standard US point of view of the Dalai Lama because most see him as a Gandhi sort of guy.
And apparently they were using inclusion and safe spaces and whatnot as the justification for not having him there, but the unified China thing doesn't seem to fly over well here so some people may have been annoyed by that.
I don't know enough about China's political structure (past like 1956, anyway) to put the rest of the pieces together.
