I was around my Facebook and I found this on one of my friend's notes.. (Copypasta) Twinkie - Besides your nationality, there is little to distinguish you from white people - Your significant other is not Asian and never has been - You have few Asian friends, if any - You are embarrassed at family events because you cannot speak your language and everyone has to switch to English to communicate with you - You have no idea that the other types of Asians on this list even exist - You think Hello Kitty is dumb and do not know what Sanrio is - You are the only Asian on this list that does not know what Bubble Tea is - You drive a Ford or some other domestic car and if you drive a Honda, it is stock Asian-American - You claim yourself as Asian, but real Asians think you're whitewashed and non-Asians see you as a foreigner. You fit in nowhere - You have heard of Bubble Tea but have never actually had any - You are confused about your cultural identity and express this frustration through spoken word performances at your college - You read A. magazine and think it's great - You do not know who Edison, Jay Chou, Ayu, or G.O.D. are - You are only vaguely aware of the other Asians below Yap (Young Asian Professional) - You are in one of these professions: a) Medicine / Pharmaceutical b) Engineering c) Finance d) Investment Banking e) Accounting - Most of your wardrobe was purchased at Banana Republic - You go to "mixers" on Thursday nights to meet other Yaps and talk about the Dow Jones. - You did exactly what your parents wanted you to do and as a result, your life is hella boring - Your apartment/home is decorated almost exclusively with stuff from Pier 1 - Your parents always talk to their friends about how much money you make. If they don't, then you're a dissapointment Fob (Fresh Off tha Boat) - You were not born in America - You know who Edison, Jay Chou, Ayu, or G.O.D. are. In fact, you have seen them at Atlantic City or Las Vegas recently - You speak your native language fluently and so do all your friends - You do not have any non-Asian friends - Your parents do not speak any English - When you speak English, you like to make everything plural - You get extremely good grades in school - You cannot dance - Your fashion sense comes from whatever country you're from and you incorporate nothing from American fashion into your wardrobe SuperFob - Your command of the English language is minimal and you don't care - You like dim sum chicken feet - You do not own a single CD, VCD, Video game, or DVD that isn't bootlegged - Your only hangout is Chinatown - All the lights in your house are fluorescent - You dry your cloths outside your window - You need a haircut - You either smell like cigarettes or food Fobabee - You are an Asian-American or Twinkie who has recently "awoken" - You have a newly found fetish of Asian girls/boys - You have taken the Asian Studies course at college - You are trying to learn as much as possible about your culture to make up fo
