Crystal Liu as Mulan. Maybe she was the cheapest "known" person in the US/Hollywood mix. I've seen her in a few films that hit theaters in the US.
A little old (30), but only by like.. a decade I guess. A 20 year old would be preferable. Shang should only be like 28 at most, too.
I hope the movie is going to be in Chinese, otherwise they should have picked someone who speaks English as their first language.
I have no idea who Crystal Liu is. I feel like everyone (on the internet) around me has heard of her except for me.
I said it in the thread and I'll say it again :) fuck that guy.
Oh, there's a place in Sydney that does this too! Just a couple minutes away from me. I'll post a pic next time...I had this ice cream in the shape of a rose. Probably the fanciest ice cream design I've ever seen lol
Re-posting so it doesn't get lost at the bottom of the last page.
My cousin is dating a girl who hates Jews, even though he's (obviously) a Jew himself. I'm just completely blown away.
How do you deal with a relative who has internalized that much racism/self-hatred?
I honestly don't know. I've seen enough Chinese girls here that dates white guys and talks shit about other Chinese girls. These people have issues. The only thing I can recommend is therapy. Though it begs the question, why would this girl date a Jew if she hates Jews? That doesn't even make sense. This is like a reverse version of that post about a Chinese girl championing Asian male problems, but dates a white guy.
Well I think we can make a distinction between an Asian girl who just happens to date a white guy and one who actually talks shit about Asian guys.
^ You have to ask these kinds of questions to the person yourself. Otherwise, everyone will guess using his/her own flawed assumptions.
Go up to your cousin and ask. We're not your cousin.

She thought he was "one of the good ones" I guess, although I've never known him to talk shit on his own people. I would ask her myself, but I have no desire to interact with her on any level.
I did. He just avoided the question.

Ultimately it's your brother's choice who he interacts with, regardless of their viewpoint on certain groups of people. It kinda sucks, but I guess that's how it is -- i know from firsthand experience that if you try to confront and control people about who they are dating they are gonna get extremely defensive because they are emotionally invested in that person (presumably). Clearly if it gets to the point where your cousin is going to make major life decisions about this person and you think that he might honestly be making a mistake then you should let him know, but also be prepared to be rebuked as well. Maybe get the fam involved, if more people thing it's a problem then it might be better.
Unfortunately, I've learned that you can't save people many years ago. I had a friend who got into drugs and shit, and I spoke with a counselor at my school on how to help him. I did everything I could because he was my friend. My counselor told me I'm a good friend, but I can't save anyone. The person has to save himself. I had the learn this lesson the hard way. No matter what I said or did, he wouldn't listen. Things got worse. He died from an OD.
Nowadays, if I encounter things, I will try to give my best piece of advice and just let things play out if they don't listen. Luckily, I really haven't encountered anything as destructive as someone dying from an OD.
I guess the real question is, does his cousin need saving? Is he in an abusive relationship? Really get in to his head and ask him why he's with her. Do it without insulting her in front of him. Try to be as neutral as you can, and calmly explain why you have a problem with her. I know love can be irrational. I guess it's also interesting to see what goes on in her head. Obviously this would be even harder to do. Maybe he should try to befriend her and get to know her. Really understand her and find out why she feels the way she does about Jews, yet still dating one. I've heard stories of a black man who befriended people from the KKK and got them to change their ways. It's worth a shot IF you feel you're up to it.
Your cousin is an adult and needs to be accountable for his own decisions. All you can do is be supportive if he wants that support.
If 'maybe I shouldn't be dating antisemites' didn't come naturally to your cousin, no amount of talking is going to change his mind.
I've had many close friends die from OD (you encounter that sort of thing a lot in the punk scene). Hell, I almost OD'd myself once. I was very self-destructive until relatively recently.
I'll try asking him again. Hopefully he'll give me a straight answer next time.
You're probably right, but I should try anyway. For various reasons, I am closer to him than any of my other (living) relatives.
Friend's baby shower, watching football, watching Thor, playing WoW
Right, make sure when you talk to him about it, don't insult him or his girlfriend. That'll just make him defensive. Tell him you have concerns regarding this girl, and be square with him. Tell him you want to understand why he's with someone that hates who he is.
Fried bread. Omelette? Sesame (red bean or lotus) cake. Milk. Rice roll.

Speaking only for myself, I was commenting on some (or rather, many) of the regular users who frequent OT, not the mod team. I saw some pretty awful threads when I posted there.
Sorry spider, I shouldn't have taken it out on the mods. Been having a bad week, so seeing this kind of stuff is getting to me. But it felt like even when I report stuff it gets ignored
When you see behavior that you feel is problematic, please report it. We are neither omniscient nor omnipresent.
It's been so loooong since I've had that bread with soy milk, don't remember what it's called anymore. I can't get it close to my house.
Speaking of the CommunityChannel thread: My favorite posts are the one's that talk about having an Asian gf/wife just because the subject involves Asian/Asians...always by white guys of course. Must be coincidence that the interracial TV couple thread is mostly white guys with Asian ladies...
