Asian Culture Discussion Thread

It's funny how some parents want their girl with a white dude but they don't want their son with a white woman
 
Will Kris Wu be the first asian music artist to crack the American market



 
Pretty crazy how kpop so pretty popular here but we’ve yet to see an asian American make big noises in the music industry here. I know Jay Park is doing his thing but he’s still pretty unknown to the mainstream. Dude is mad talented too. Can sing, dance and rap
 
There's a 26yo Vietnamese guy who posts on NT
He sounds like Travis Scott, dances like Bruno, dresses like The Weeknd

I have a feeling he can blow up

the whole kpop industry has its own things that separates it from western pop imo.

everything from the variety shows they go on, the dance moves, being in groups, and even the language.

also, western pop isnt really popping like that. Americans are more into hiphop/rap.

I wouldn't really define these videos that you posted as typical "kpop" vibe as you call it.............this was pretty K-R&B that just happened to get some "kpop mainstream" attention.

The JOAH track may be the one where I can say is pretty "kpop'ish" in terms of sound..........while the SOLO track sounds like a DJ Mustard-produced R&B style track that Chris Brown or Trey Songz could've done.

I can feel you in a sense though, Jay Park's rap records are usually a hit-or-miss for me as well.........but I do ****s with some of his rap tracks at the same time when they're decent.
 
Need young cousin Kris Wu to continue wear Hyped sneakers and streetwear so the Billions of Asians supporting this Market keep going.

Kinda.
 
Was in my group chat with my folks and somehow we got on this topic. I stumbled across this video after doing some late night searching.

My question for those that grew up in the countries in which your parents were born (Non-US, but US folks can answer as well), how much is the African influence taught in schools and/or discussed among common folks?

Not trying to start anything, trying to have a legit convo.

I went to elementary school in the Philuppines. What African influence are you pertaining too? Maybe African current events at that time ( e.g. Apartheid in South Africa when we have Social Studies Classes).

Maybe now, in Uni, probably in businsss class, e.g. Business cases pertaining to China's Belt Road Initiative.

With regards to the video you posted, there isn't much African History, that's just a spec. It may have been discussed in History Class, but just like niche studies, it's probably in some arts course in college. Countries in Asia have their own country's respective history to deal with already. I know at the elementary school level, we look at our own county's history.
 
I didn’t grow up in the US. Apartheid in SA was probably the most talked about that’s relevant to what you’re asking. MLK too. Other than that, history and social studies was focused on our own history and issues
 
I more so meant do your home countries' acknowledge the presence of Africans as being the first people that occupied the land.

I assume it is similar to how our history breezes over Native Americans and their contributions to society but at lease we acknowledge that we wiped them out.

Again not trying to start anything so if you feel disrespected, don't. Just wondering how wide-scale the world's governments are with education based deception
