watashiwa nipponnohitodesu. [it's japanese]
i've never really felt much pride in my asian heritage.
it's not that i feel shame, it's just that i was never surrounded by it.
asians were always stupid and raced hondas.
but i never really realized it, until tonight, that everything my mom makes is at least asian-esque.
whenever she makes steak, she douses the shit in soy sauce and all these crazy spices.
and it always taste like steak to me. good and bloody and fucking awesome.
tonight my step-brother came over and somewhere between his gut, bald spot, patches of gray, job in construction, lack of girlfriend, and lack of intelligence, my mom decided that she'd make her steak different.
it tasted like RAW SHIT. i wanted to fucking vommit all over the table and
let my jade eyes burn with years of tiger balm secrets and yellow skin.
i wanted to scream at my mother's attempt at caucasian meat and remind
her that her thick black hair hung straight as bamboo. FUCK YOU STEAK
HOUSES OF AMERICA. FUCK YOU BURGER KING AND MCDONALD'S.
AND FUCK MY STUPID STEPBROTHER AND HIS AMERICAN MANNERISM
AND LACK OF CULTURAL EXPOSURE.
fuck. i need to go watch the korean channel. i need my asian fix.
