That's right everyone, I am ranting right now. Why, you may ask? Simply because I am tired of always seeing this one thing that I cannot truely understand. That thing being this:
different ethnic group person: "I am not azn/Asian but I wish I were."
Now, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Asian people. I have quite a few friends of Asian descent, but I will tell you right now that I treat them no different from my American friends or friends of any other ethnicity. To those who read this and are the type that is mentioned above, stop it! Be proud of who you are and the bloodline you were born into. Being Asian is not going to make you a better person, I am quite sure, but because of how the world is today, the only thing you will gain is a legion of freaking follows who are too shallow to realize that they are great too! It bothers me that everyone these days thinks the only way anyone can love anyone else is if one of them is Asian. Yes, anime is awesome. Yes, Japan has kick a** technology. Yes, the food is boss and I find the language to be soothing to listen to, but none of that means that I like people because they are Asian, nor that I wish I were. Why? Because I am a proud American! Because I am not shallow enough to be like, "Oh, I am only friends with this person because they are Asian." To hell with that BS. All the Asian friends I have, I didn't realize they were really asian until after I befriended them. When I found out, I wasn't like "Really? You're so lucky." All I am saying is if you are Asian, great, if you aren't Asian, then stop worrying about it and be proud of who you are.
