I'm in a Grrrrrr mood. Teeth grinding, eyebrows concentrated, fist-clenching - you get the picture. Just because. Everything. You know what annoys me? When people claim diversity or multiculturalism or minorities, when they're really just talking about African Americans. Like Asians don't exist. Or when people STILL say Chinese when they mean Asian. Or when they say Asian when they're talking about just Chinese. Or when they say Asian (after listing African American, Latino...) and not Asian American because they assume that coz we look the way we do, we just got off the boat. Or when people's intelligence are judged by how well they speak English. Or a person cries "crab mentality!" when others are pointing out bullshit that person has actually done or said. Or people who win arguments not because they're right but because everyone is too tired to argue with them. Or people who claim "first" without bothering to acknowledge that life existed before they came along. Grrrrrr...

I really should stop reading yahoo group postings. They give me a migraine.

Omigad, if you are in NYC the next 4 days, you MUST see This End Up: A Users Manual for Lovers of Asians, written and directed by Ralph Pena. It is so damn good.
