so i was sitting on the bus on my way home from school
today, minding my own business, not making eye
contact, etc… when a woman sits down next to me and
makes the thought provoking statement of, “you’re
asian”.
i was so touched by her ability to point out the
blindingly obvious that i asked if she wanted to take
a stab at guessing my gender.
she said no. but unfortunately she didn’t quit
speaking. much to my dismay she started to rant about
the quick and quality meal cup-o-noodle makes. after
about three seconds, my face glazed over and my brain
began to liquify. somewhere between the previous stop
and hell, she poked me and asked if i liked spring
rolls…because they’re from asia too. i told her
that as a jap it was my duty to look down upon all
other asians cultures. and as spring rolls are a
vietnamese dish, i would rather chew on sharpened
glass.
fortunately my stop came right then.

so yud, my question is this:

as asians, we are free from the genetic discomforts
of being a white person. why are they all so wierd?

It’s because of those freakishly big eyes. They take up a lot of room in their heads.

Leaves less room for brains.

Of course, nobody in my family is really qualified to accuse someone else of being weird.

Also, my name is not Yud.
