Asian Culture Discussion Thread

[legreyfoxx]

You would think these "in the public" people would be more careful with what they post online.

I'm all for this though. We get to see who they really are.

exactly but i guess they can't hide who they really are forever. Its disturbing especially with the following he may have.

Asian guy jumped at OC night market... Most of the food there is Asian food

A white couple left a young Vietnamese-American man bloodied at the OC[/URL][/URL] Fair Grounds parking lot on Sunday after an earlier incident included racist taunts. The victim, a 21-year-old college student who wishes to remain anonymous, hung out with a group of friends at OC Night Market when the trouble began around 9:30 p.m. That's when two white women approached him in line offering money to buy drinks.


When he refused, the duo muttered something rudely beneath their breath before returning a few minutes later and getting downright nasty. "Go back to Asia and eat a dog," the taller woman of the two said. She got all up in the victim's face when he pushed her away to create some space. A tatted up white dude a few feet away charged at him, punching the glasses off his face.

Security responded to the situation and took the violent couple out of the OC Night Market. The group of friends continued having a good time despite the jarring incident until deciding to call it a night around 11:00 p.m. When the victim walked with his girlfriend to their ride, the trouble began anew. "The moment I got to my car, a black sedan pulled up," he tells the Weekly. The couple from the earlier altercation got out of the car. "The guy immediately went after me and everything else was a blur."

The two left after the white guy pummeled him down to the ground. The victim's girlfriend got punched in the face by the white woman when trying to intervene. A witness later told the two that they saw a Mercedes Benz peel out of the parking lot that night, but not before the guy in the passenger seat hurled anti-Asian racial slurs at them, too.

The victim spent a day at the hospital before being discharged Monday night. He suffered cuts and bruises to his face. The brutal beating required stitches to a close a gash on his cheek and left several teeth chipped. A GoFundMe page is online raising money to help cover medical costs. Initial dental work to allow him to eat normally again cost $1,400 alone. He still hasn't gotten a bill for the Emergency Room stay.

Friends contacted the OC Night Market, but haven't gotten any information about surveillance cameras inside. They were told none existed in the parking lot where the second assault happened. "I can confirm that we were called out on Sunday [in] reference [to] a fight that occurred in the parking lot of the fair grounds," Lt. Lane Lagaret wrote the Weekly. "The case is being investigated, but we have not identified the other person(s) involved. The details of what led to the fight is also being investigated."

The victim spoke with Orange County Sheriff Deputies this week about the assault and is upset it's not being investigated as a hate crime. "She didn't have to say these racists things," he says. "Something as simple as getting in line for a drink can turn out to be such a big deal as this."

I don't know why but that story didn't make sense but apparently the couple tried to cut in line: http://nextshark.com/asian-man-brutally-beaten-oc-night-market-refusing-let-white-man-cut-line/

twitter is a disgusting place. People should have to post their school or work info in their bio and use their full name for their twitter handle. I'm happy when someone who receives horrible tweets will send screenshots of it to the person's work, school, or family and put them on blast.

That's the funniest part. I guarantee if a Japanese person brought up internment camps, he'd be the first to say "That was 80 years ago; get over it"

That's response would happen assuming he actually knew/believed it... which the chances of that are low.

I don't see anything wrong with it. Music shouldn't be limited to the color of your skin to enjoy and express it. If k-pop has a certain sound and they want to emulate it without trashing the culture, I'm for it. I like to rap..and hip-hop is predominantly black.

I guess I can see their concern about not knowing their hardships, etc, similar to how people throw themed parties, but that's different.

Looks good. Hopefully it pops up on Netflix or Amazon.

westerners have been trash talking k pop (actually just Asian pop music) for years but now that it got real big they want a piece of the pie, right?

K pop def isnt Korean (as there are several Japanese, Thai, Chinese, Taiwanese members) exclusive but the fact that Asians are making great music and doing their own thing is what gives it its appeal.

K pop has millions of western fans and they love it because K pop really has its own appeal with Korean culture. Bring a western boy band and its no longer that.

just saw this:

I never got into K-pop and like most Pop music I think its corny.

With that said outside of movies, I dont mind westerners/americans emulating K-pop at all. I feel that music is universal. If they do a good job more power to them. Just like Asians who try to rap or sing in America. If you're trash you're trash, if you do it well more power to you dont matter if youre Asian to me at all.

baby metal is kinda cool.

not coming at you or anythin cause you stated youre not into pop but k pop isnt just a genre of music. its korean fashion, culture (traditional overarching E. Asian culture), dance, etc.

so categorizing it as a music genre is misleading.

 

[fenixconnexion.]

No, you don't need to be Korean to sing K-Pop. We are in 2017. People need to stop being so race specific on things.

 

[SC kid]

So then wat is the difference between k pop and reggie pop?

 

[Nawzlew]

lightweight follow girl groups tbh.



that group aint gonna work tho

you cant just go learn korean and attempt kpop

most these people in the business been training since like they were 12.
