Parents: “Those doctors have no idea what they’re doing. Here, have some of my herbal concoction that’s been known to cure illnesses for years”
Also parents: “You’re going to be a doctor when you grow up”
Don’t you love it when you introduce yourself and them idiots say “why don’t you have a more ‘Asian’ sounding name” like sorry, you got me Sally, my real name is chop suey

To immigrant Asian parents: thank you for going to a different country with different customs and (most cases different languages) to give your children a better future. Mad props to you for putting up with racist crap and staying strong. We love you ❤️

Me: *says one negative thing about going to school*
Parents: “I scaled Mount Everest, crossed the Gobi Desert, walked through grasslands, and swam through the Yellow River to get to school. Stop complaining”
#GrowingUpAsian
is having people tell you that your language sounds weird, your food smells gross, you look exotic, and your culture is cool but only when they appropriate it and use it for aesthetics 🙃✌🏻
Y’all out here calling your parents by their first name, saying shit like “this is my right”, and telling your parents to “fuck off” when they say something unreasonable and I’m too scared to say “no” because they have slippers on and there’s a broomstick in the house
#GrowingUpAsian
Me: “I’m so tired!”
Mom: “When I was your age, I climbed Mount Everest to get to school, swam across the Yellow River to go to work, and crossed the Gobi Desert to visit my grandparents. What’s your excuse?”
Me:

Me:
Don’t apologize for speaking broken English, especially to those assholes who haven’t bothered to learn more than one. You opened yourself to a new world of possibilities, they didn’t

Mom: “I TOLD YOU TO NOT SLEEP WITH YOUR HAIR WET BUT YOU NEVER LISTEN. I DO EVERYTHJNG FOR YOU GUYS SND UOH DONT LISTEN WAIT TILL IM GONE RHEN YOULL KWNW
Y’all realize that there’s so many different ways to call someone “aunt” and “uncle” like there’s a specific “aunt” for one on your mother side vs father side and age difference and they want you to remember it all like bitchhh
Asian: “I’m Asian”
Them: “Wait but I thought you were [central/south/west/north Asian]”
Asian: “I am. That’s part of Asia”
Them: “Oh yea but like Asian Asian ya know. You’re not really Asian.”
Aunt: “Ya its been so long! I remember when you were just a baby! Do you still remember me?”
Me: *nervous laugh* “Of course”
Aunt: “What’s my name?”
Me:
Having Asian parents means that they will get you to eat certain foods by telling you that it will make your eyesight better, your brain smarter, your skin clearer, your life better
Y’all call Asians inhumane and be attacking Asian countries for “eating dogs and cats” when 40 US states allow the consumption of dog and cat meat but go off
