i've been meaning to post this name for awhile

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

A girl in my nursing class is named Honey. I was a little ehh about it at first, but she's this cute little asian girl (from Vietnam, I believe), and the name kind of fits.

Well, I found out a few weeks ago that her full first name is Honey-Chile, Chile said like child without the D.

She's about thirty.

WDYT?

Lol then why didn't you say "some women" instead of "some Asian women"?

Sorry for the late comment, but I should NOT have looked at this thread. -_- The way the OP says "cute little Asian girl" is obnoxious too, but your comment definitely rubbed me the wrong way.

And why couldn't the OP have said "there's this girl in my class..." instead of "there's this ASIAN girl in my class..."

I don't claim to not be obnoxious and rude in my comments in this community, but you're the one reading a negative connotation into an adjective.

And the fact of the matter is, whenever I run accross and adult woman with a Hello Kitty fetish- either in the media or in real life- there's a 99.9% chance that she's Asian. YMMV, but that's been my personal experience.

I don't know, I'm not talking about or TO the OP.

That's funny, I wonder why -- OH RIGHT, HELLO KITTY IS ORIGINALLY ASIAN :D
Also, it's not only Asians (http://goldcoaster.wordpress.com/2008/11/18/pokemon-master-a-world-record/) are into cute things -- it's a stereotype that all women are into cute shit, so why are Asians singled out?

[blosmbee.livejournal.com]

and why are you singling me out for being obnoxious when you've said yourself I'm not the only one that's made obnoxious comments?

If you're going to pick apart my words, I can do the same. I wasn't aware of that woman, I wasn't talking about Pokemon, and I can't even tell what cultural group the woman in that picture is from, anyway.

I think you're just trying to start shit and find an excuse to be pissed off. I can understand that, but I don't feel like playing- I have work to do today. Maybe some other time you can try to convince me of how secretly racist I am. Merry Christmas!

You were originally saying that "[...] she's intentionally going for the 'cutesey-Asian-forever 5 years old, but still sexy' thing that a some Asian women seem to be drawn to" -- you weren't narrowing it down to Hello Kitty...? Not that that matters, anyway.

Yay for backpedaling though! GOOD JOB <3

Well, she IS cute, little and Asian. Sorry if stating the facts is obnoxious to you.

I didn't think the name Honey would work quite as nicely on someone ugly, huge, and originally English-speaking, which is the only reason I mentioned it in the first place.

Cheers!

"Cute little Asian girl" is condescending. If anyone called me that (not that they would) I would probably think about punching them in the face.

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

Whatever, lady. I didn't mean it in any conscending manner. Sorry you took it that way. I'm sure Honey wouldn't mind if I called her a cute little Asian girl. She's a sweetie.

-sigh-

Can't please them all.

Since when is "cute little [insert anything] girl not condescending when its directed toward an adult?

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

Well, it wouldn't offend me to be called a cute little [anything] girl, so maybe it's just how the person understands it. As I understand it, it wasn't an offensive/condescending statement. I guess the meaning is different to me than it is to others.

Again, sorry to offend. At this point, I'm sorry to have mentioned it at all.

[baku-chan.livejournal.com]

you =/= the rest of the world

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

Yes, clearly. That's what I meant by "I guess the meaning is different to me than it is to others."

[crushdmb.livejournal.com]

Is it fun being sexist?

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

Is it fun stirring the pot?

Seriously, as I see it, it was one harmless statment that I really didn't mean anything by. Sorry you took it the wrong way.

[crushdmb.livejournal.com]

So you basically say empty, vapid things? Awesome.

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

Better than rude things, in my opinion.

[crushdmb.livejournal.com]

So you'd rather be vapid than witty?

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

When I said I didn't mean anything by it, I meant I didn't mean any HARM by it. From the context of the sentence, I think that could be pretty well perceived. If you were as clever as you think you are, you might have picked up on that. So go ahead and nit-pick my wording for the sake of starting a flame war. That's not not witty, that's rude.

But nevermind that, why are you trying to start shit? It's bad karma to piss off a pregnant woman.

[crushdmb.livejournal.com]

Good God you're vapid.

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

Must be the word of the day.

[crushdmb.livejournal.com]

Just the perfect descriptor for you.

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

I disagree.

[crushdmb.livejournal.com]

Of course you would. You're vapid. Surprise!

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

Well your opinion of me is neither here nor there, now is it?

[crushdmb.livejournal.com]

blah blah blah blah blah

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

my thoughts exactly.
