Japanese people are Asians

Let me say that again:

JAPANESE PEOPLE... ARE... ASIANS!

Before I continue any further, I feel obligated to share my own ethnicity, even though I had no reason to bring this up in the past. I am Chinese. I was born and raised in Beijing, China. I am Asian.

Now that's out of the way, allow me to explain today's post. I have heard from other media sources, such as TV and the internet, that Japanese people don't consider themselves Asians. I've always thought that was ridiculous, and figured it was false. Well, today a Japanese girl who works with someone I know, have expressed that she indeed does not consider herself Asian. If that is not mind-boggling enough, wait for her reason. You ready?

>>> She positioned her index fingers on the corners of her eyes, and said her eyes were not as slanted. <<<

Well fuck me, why don't you put those big round eyes to some good use and look in a mirror then, coz you are gonna see an ASIAN staring back at your silly ass. Why am I so angry?

If you are black, and another black person tells you he doesn't think he is black because his lips aren't as big. If you are white, and a white girl tells you she doesn't think she's white because her ass isn't as flat. How would you react? We all deal with stereotypes and discriminations based on our physical characters, but to get this shit from a member of your own race can boil your blood.

Now let's take a look at why Japanese people are asians:

1. JAPAN IS IN ASIA! Reference the map below, courtesy of wikipedia.org:


2. Japanese people look like asians. Despite my ability to tell most Chinese, Koreans and Japanese, Vietnamese, and sometimes Thai people apart, we all share Asian characteristics. Our hair is black; our eyes are a certain way; our facial structure is built a certain way. I feel stupid explaining this as much as I had, we have all seen asians, and know what asians look like.

3. Japanese people eat with chopsticks, like the rest of the asians. They use chopsticks to eat rice, like the rest of the asians. You are what you eat!

4. Japanese, the language, has chinese characters. Look up any Japanese writing, anything that has more than 4 or 5 strokes are all from Chinese. And, guess what Chinese people are? Asians!

5. This is so important, I need to repeat it. Japanese people look like asians!

6. This is even more important, I need to repeat it. JAPAN IS IN ASIA!

So STFU! If I ever see this dirt woman, I'll ask her which part of ASIA she's from. If her fingers get anywhere near her eyes, I'll put an asian pear in a sock and fling it in her face. If I don't want to get in trouble, then I'll at least verbally abuse her until she cries some big tear drops out of those big round eyes of hers.

IT'S ON!

Gays and incest

Wait a moment, don't start throwing tomatoes yet. Hear me out.

My opinion on gays/lesbians and incest is, it really isn't a problem. Incest is really only a no-no because closely related people can produce "bad" babies, babies who have deformities or "weaker" genes. Because the donor strands of DNA are so similar, any abnormal genetic traits in the family will have a much higher chance of surfacing, thusly reflected on later generations.

You might counter, what about parents who molest their children. A father can commit incest against his son, isn't that a problem? Well, in that case, incest is only a category of child molestation. The main problem here isn't really incest anymore, it is a case of an adult(straight or gay) preying on a more vulnerable young child who is easily manipulated. It is not straight or gay urges that drive adults to commit these crimes, it is more of a need to feel powerful against someone much weaker and smaller. The reason these sickos do it to their own kids is mainly for geographical conveniences. They would not hesitate to do the same to other kids if they gained access.

Let's look at relatives closer to age then: two brother and sister who were tragically separated before they could remember. They had separate lives, but through twists and turns, reunited 20, 30 years later. They fall madly in love with each other without the knowledge of their relations, until they have their first deformed baby. Through DNA testing, they find out they are siblings. They become tortured, wretched, miserable souls the rest of their lives.

Now replace the above brother and sister with siblings of the same gender. After the ick factor that makes a human's neck hair stand up, is it really a problem?

The above same sex siblings who don't know they are related could adopt a baby and provide a happy family. Or they could be dysfunctional like the rest of us. Is incest really a concern for them?

Again, there is a moral reaction that we humans have acquired through the enlargement of our brains and emotions. I don't deny it is uncomfortable for me as well, but that discomfort might just come from an innate instinct to survive as a species. Or, it could be bestowed upon all of us after scientists formed the connection, and governments made it illegal to marry close relatives. After all, marrying within the bloodline is more common in the old days.

So, ask yourself, is incest really a problem for gay and lesbians?

Accurate IQ test for kids

Like most of man-made descriptions of qualities, smart is a relative term. We determine how smart someone is based on data we've gathered throughout our lives. That data pool has to be big enough so all shades of the rainbow are represented. Only then, will we be able to reach a fairly accurate determination. We'd all be dumb as doorknobs when compared to the one Stephen Hawking, but we are able to feel pretty good about ourselves because there are so few in the league of Hawking, but millions in rank of Jerry Springer contestants.

We can easily do the comparison as adults, because there are more data available. We see accomplishments and stupidity achieved everyday. But what how do we judge kids? We hear so many parents say how smart their kids are, how do we know for sure?

Well, I have the perfect solution. Go to your local toy store, and get a boxed game that has a disclaimer: Ages # and up, or Ages # - #, or Ages #+. Find a game where your kid would barely qualify based on the age requirements; then get a game where your kid is not qualified to play yet by about 2 years; then get a game where your kid is way under.

Go home, and present each game to your kid in the order described above. If your kid fails to figure out that the first game or any given portion thereof is not suited for eating, then I'm sorry. I don't know how to put this, but your kid, is generally considered as dumb or slow witted. Don't feel too bad, he/she might develop out of it. It happens all the time, just remember to perform the same test once in a while to see if there is any progress.

If your kid successfully passed the first game, don't be too happy yet. You have to understand the game companies raised the lower age bracket by at least 1 or 2 years just to cover all kids who are considered mentally competent. So don't pat yourselves on the back yet, your kid is deemed to be on or barely over the line of normal human intelligence.

Use the next game to determine if your kid has average intelligence, and so on and so forth. This shall give you a good idea of how your kids rank compared to the thousands to millions of other kids out there who play the same games. Forget trying to guess your kid's IQ or God forbids, spends money to pay professionals to figure it out. All you need is $19.99 or less per game to benefit from all the studies that has been done already to judge your kid's abilities. Just don't get too disappointed at the results.
