What Annoys Me:
Asian-try-hards. I can’t stand them. I feel as if it’s like a Napolean complex, except instead of height, it’s how “Asian” you truly are. These sorts of people usually found amongst the white-washed. I’m not dissing white-washed Asians, since I do live in Nebraska, barely speak my own language, have very few Asian friends, etc., but it seems that those who feel inadequate to the fobs try to compensate, and it’s nothing less than annoying.
These try-hards do a few key things that drive me nuts.
Offense 1. “AZN PRYDE!@!)@$*!@)$*@#”
OMG STFU. You can’t even type out “Asian” or “pride” correctly. I remember when I used to be one of these offenders, and I was one of those Asian-wanna-be thugs/skanks. Oh, the days.So you Asian thugs out there, quit it.
Offense 2. “Wah, that’s so Asian, la~.”
You point out everything Asian, and you try to sound as Asian as possible. You want to be a so called “ullzhang,” but you don’t realize that takes immense photoshop and makeup skill. You have to have the quote unquote fobbiest hairstyle known to man, but you go to a white hairdresser to get it done. All you ever talk about is how you’re Asian, and all the things that come associated with it. You take every Asian stereotype to be true, and no matter what it is, you flaunt it. “Yes, I have a small penis, because I’m Asian.” Your excuse to everything is, “Because I’m asian.”
True story: my Chinese try-hard friend posted this as his Facebook status: “[insert name here] needs to find a job. What’s the most Asian job out there?” Dude, just make money. Who cares if it’s Asian or not. Bonus points: he has the ugliest “fobby” hairstyle ever.
Offense 3. “Look. Asians!”
You’ve gone through your life without befriending a single Asian. Now that you’ve opened your eyes to see that you lack chopstick-able friends, you gravitate to anyone 5’4 and under, black hair, and brown eyes. You’re at your newly discovered boba shop, and you mention to your other Asian try-hards that more Asian people are coming into the store.The icebreaker? “You asian? Hey, me too!”
Offense 4. Peace signs.
Now that the gangster peace sign has gone out of fashion, you now exhibit a reformation of the former. Instead of palm-in, fingers slightly angled down, you now pose with an upright, palm-out version. Every damn picture is you and a peace sign. Variety please.
Offense 5. Hello Kitty.
Okay, I, too, am guilty of this offense, but I have limited myself. No longer do I carry a Hello Kitty purse with assorted Hello Kitty charms dangling off the handles. I don’t adorn all my possessions with Hello Kitty stickers. Lastly, I don’t head to Target and go straight to the Hello Kitty section.
Because real Asians buy it at Sanrio.
My advice to you is stop failing at being Asian. The end.

^_^ VLAWLz
lol it’s always weird when i hear ppl say, “that’s so asian”
lol ohh the asian try hardsthe asian “gangsters” still exists today – the chuckie aken style was so 10 years agonow the gangsters wear Ed-Hardy – cause whats more gangster than that LOL
you’re cute (cute pics – kudos!) but don’t hate! hahaha
haaaha i like your first thing about the asian pride thing. PLEASE TELL ME YOU WERE NOTTTTT AN ASIAN BABY. PLEASE! goddddddd! i think being an Asian Baby (for a girl i guess) and a rice cracker driving wife beater wearing accented talking asian male is the biggest offense. when you get into drama, having 5 cars full of like 8 people in each car doesn’t make you intimidating. it makes you look stupid. ahhhhh!!! hahaa props on actually thinking about this blog than just writing whatever. you’re lucky to live in Nebraska, you probably don’t have to be reduced to seeing most of the asians acting the way you pointed out. asians are NOT gangster. get over it. hahah i totally like you!
@atmaster - keke. thanks!@zockonzockon - i wasn’t an asian baby. i was an azn baybeeeee. xD HAHAHAHA. oh god, sad day for me.
Usually they grow out of it after high school. If not, they’ll just join an Asian frat and continue the “thug” life.
@XoAsianBabioX - haha you know what, most girls still like the “bad boyz”, “thug”, or “gangsta” after they had grown up!arrr, why can’t people just be themselves instead of wanting/trying to “fit in” some group….haha bunch of want to be that doesn’t have any inner self-identity of who they are! thank god, I was never like that! haha
i love hello kitty and I’m not even asian!:P
hahah, this entry was funnies. i appreciate being asian. but i dont show it. hahahah.
btw hows living in nebraska. thats crazy. i love meeting new people from different parts of the world.
@panda_monium - lol nebraska is BOOOOOOOOORING.
lol, interesting blog to read. i remember i used to be a hello kitty fan too but somehow that’s diminished quite a bit. as for the peace sign, i totally agree. please, there are plenty of other poses to do!
i didnt’ realize people still did #1… I must be getting old…
so asian, it hurts!welcome to ny!
“i was an azn baybeeeee.”LOLLL UGh i’m totally guilty of that too. Oh goodness i remember when that whole “aZn pRYde” thing used to be the “in.” Now it’s just lameeeee. Well actually it probably was always lame. Hahah. Did you have an asianavenue.com account, too?? Ahhhh. Gosh it’s so embarrassing looking back on those days.Oh and i’ve never seen that MV for “You Got Beef.” I’d listened to “Got Rice?”-________-” never again.
hahha i like this entry and it speaks the truth
haha u should see my weblog. lol
but everyone loves hello kittyyyyyyy.
this is funnyI live in norcal, now cupertino. a city that is 80+% azn and schools are nearing 90% azn. in newspapers they follow white families leaving and citing, “i don’t want my kids subjected to such harsh academic pressure”.You have not seen #tryhardazn until you come to cali. You’re reading a post made by a man who went through the whole thing, all the way through UC Berkeley. There’s so much soy sauce in my eyes it hurts, and everywhere I go Chinatown spills through the school doors and movie theaters, into the streets. Catch is I’m not seen as asian with my part netherlands heritage, but white people don’t see me as white……on that note, you should come check out the white people going #tryhardazn. it’s hilarious
@pudgypaw - white people doing tryhardazn are either freaks or infected with yellow fever. i stay away from the likes of those. hahaha.
@XoAsianBabioX - you know facebook right?founder is mark zuckerberg. My middle school friend happened to go to the east coast and sat next to him in class. She tells me mark has yellow fever. So in this case it’s a white guy infected with yellow fever, with money and power. fun? lol
@pudgypaw - LOL. yellow fever creeps me out. i’m not a golddigger. i can’t just fall for anyone with money and power!
haha
that was a good read. lol
That peace sign thing… I was just going through all my facebook profile pictures and realized in almost every picture I’m doing it. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not a try-hard, I do it ‘cus I find my hands awkward and I need to do something with them in the picture. Oh and it draws attention away from my highly-flawed complexion.
RESPOND TO ME!! Who’s that cutie in black with the funky hair?!
@BlehhItsTu - LOL. that’s g-dragon from big bang.
true. btw, i like reading some of your entries lol
LOL im guilty of peace sign and occasional hello kitty but im totally not obsess with it and yes i prefer it at sanarios LOL.BUT STILL. it bugs me soo much that ppl try so hard to be “azn”, “fob”, “honger” whatever term your location uses. why is there a classification, cant they just be themselves.btw, we both go on datingish and i think lovingish? i see you comment like thru a lot of the post i go thru so i decided to come visit your page. =)
hahaha this is hilarious. and all too true.
i got beef.
Stumbled your site on Lovelyish.com, are you talking about asian “try-hards” as white people trying hard to be asian or ABCs trying to be asian? Got confused.

Hogan scarpe discovered something in 1946 and later insinuated and finally acknowledged that he had discovered a “secret”. Debates continue to this day over who is the greatest golfer of all time. But as Jack Nicklaus recently observed in response to a question about whether Tiger Woods is the best ball striker he had ever seen, “No, no that would unquestionably be Hogan scarpe donna “. And we have all likely read the comment attributed to “Terrible” Tommy Bolt, a champion golfer in his own right, who famously observed that “All I know is I seen Nicklaus watching Hogan practice, but I ain’t never seen hogan donna watch Nicklaus practice”.
