Asian ERA |OT| We don't AGE

The fact that most of these current high profile sexual harassment allegations appear to be directed at Jewish men is more than a bit worrying. Especially in this political climate (where overt racism is becoming mainstream again), the last thing we need is to be stereotyped as creepers.
Am I wrong for worrying about this? I don't wish to detract or derail in any way from what these women are going through, but these concerns persist nonetheless.

Not on topic but meph & I went to Yayoi Kusama's infinity room exhibit at the Broad.
(You're supposed to put stickers in the room, so I was putting some on the lamps.)
We also saw Takashi Murakami's art.
That looks amazing. I'll be in LA over Thanksgiving, so maybe I'll try to snag some tickets to the Brode.
That's what I'm hoping for, but I doubt it. My Jewish friends are already complaining of profiling (and a litany of other racist reactions to these recent scandals).
If you get tickets for the exhibit, you can get into the museum on the same day without advance tickets.
We did standby, arriving at 8:30am for a chance to get same day standby tickets (distributed at 11am). There were already twelve or so groups ahead of us, and this was a random Tuesday. Something to keep in mind!

Man, that looks tight. Where is the Broad?
Nice! My sister's place is a 10 minute walk, so I'll see what I can do. ShimshonNehorai the Broad is in the downtown LA area, very close to the Walt Disney theater, if you've ever been to the area.
I have been there, but......damn that is *far* from where I am now.
They're literally all sold out :(
Only way to get in is to get same day standby tickets-- or know an employee.
He's the next tier of Azn. Something other Azn's hope to achieve in their lifetime.
I've eaten a lot of foods that you're not supposed to eat with chopstick using chopsticks. I have done it with spaghetti, pizza, french fries, and probably more that I've forgotten. I don't like using my hands and making them greasy.
I cook mine in the oven too, but I like to flip it over with chopsticks halfway
Whatever you do, DO NOT look up the procedure on youtube. I literally went into surgery blind (no pun intended) without knowing any details. The surgery itself is actually super short and painless, you don't feel a thing. The only thing that hurt was my bank account, but it was worth every penny.
I'm down.
As you might remember, one of the problems we had at GAF was that a lot of posters felt it was a-okay to throw around casual racism toward Asians. I think them being able to pop in here and see that we really don't like that could help them understand that it's not okay.
Also, we tend to get a lot of people who come in and are like, "Hey, I'm Asian but never knew about this thread," so it'd be good to get them in here, too.
My clinic gave me a DVD of my PRK surgery after. It's pretty cool seeing it from the other side now.
I'm not sure how much my vote counts for (since Jews/Semites and MENA groups writ large fall outside most colloquial definitions of Asian), but I'm in.
Theres a K-POP OT, which is where all korean media is usually discussed! Now regarding picking up korean women...let me know when you find a place for that....
Sooo... there a movie called... Crazy Rich Asians? I know nothing about the movie beyond the title, but that title alone makes me raise my eyebrows. Not in a good way.
I hope they have some big name Asian stars like Scarlett Johansson or Emma Stone.

It's based on a Singaporean novel, about Asian old money. The movie's starring Asians all the way: Constance Wu, Michelle Yeoh, Gemma Chan, Harry Shum, Ken Jeong, Jimmy O. Yang, Ronny Chieng, Sonoya Mizuno etc. etc.
End of the 80's
The entire scene (dinner at Sheldon's) was Sheldon's family making fools of themselves by assuming Asian stereotypes and talking about the Vietnam war.
I am kinda happy that asian comedies seem to be making a play in the last few years. I think you guys are probably fimiliar with Fresh Off the Boat and Dr Ken, but you might have missed The Family Law which is an Australian comedy which I think is hilarious
Cheers man!
As to picking up Korean woman, I have no idea. Maybe Korea?
My concern with Crazy Rich Asians is that with the current political climate in the US, this movie could stoke the flames of more anti-Asian sentiment in the US. You know, climate change is a Chinese hoax. Chinese people stealing all our jobs. Fucking Asians being rich at the sacrifice of honest hardworking White Americans.
Granted this is purely concern based on the movie's title while knowing absolutely nothing about what the movie's about.

I know I know. It speaks volumes of the US today when I see the movie title and immediately think Asians will be attacked.
Jews have been dealing with that shit for centuries.
And yeah, it sucks pretty hard.

Yeah I kind of had that thought too, but in the end...whatever. I'm getting dual citizenship in a few months so if shit hits the fan... gg.
