#mod sun

i'm Chinese and take voice lessons and my (white) teacher asked me what languages i speak. i told her that i'm learning Mandarin and French and she asked me if i would want to do a song in French. i said that i would be open to it and asked about doing songs in Mandarin. she said i couldn't because they used tones in the melody and also because of the style of singing (she said it was very nasal or something). even though that's definitely not the only style of singing in Mandarin, right??

people either

People who think they can be "transracial". The primary target of these are Asians, but I've seen people trying to transition into African Americans and Hispanic.

New mod intro

Am half Khmer. I look up khmer to see if there’s anyone else like me.

are silly asks permitted?

Is it orientalism (this was years ago) to be talking to someone about culture in relation to gender and mention the current issues and positives going on in a country (in this case the Philippines) (I’m not actually from the philippines but my Lola is) and the historic gender fluidity and such that existed before Spanish colonization and get the response of: “ok well we’re not in the ‘Philippeenys’” (mispronounced like that idk if it was intentional though) and then get like mocked with the typical stereotype-y language jokes and such even though Tagalog/Filipino isn’t even similar to mandarin?????? (Idk this was a rant and idk if it’s my place to speak considering I’m Asian American I look mostly white. But still it’s just?? This was years ago and I jst thought abt it again and I hear stuff like this all the time.)

there's something need to be said about certain white transfems that grow up in 4chan basing their entire identity of wanting to look like anime girls and believing it would make them pass, hiding behind cutesy anime girl pfp telling Asian transfems they'll pass better
