race and nationality are two different things

he is American...and ASIAN

he is an Asian American

[Kblaze8855]

No one is sayin lins black or white but last I heard American wasn't actually a breed but a nationality. And the ethnic composition of the country evolves over time


Clearly. But his point has been that calling Lin asian isnt right...because race doesnt exist. Hes American only....not asian american...because there is no such thing as an asian person who is born and raised America....and is therefore an Asian american.

I never said Lin was not "catagorized as Asian"..I said he was American as Apple Pie and just as Asian as Chris Kaman is German or Lebron James is African or any one else born in America but has a past releative from another country...


I also said bieng proud of something you were just happened to born into and had nothing to do with is silly...


Asian could mean anything??....many different cultures and many different ways of life in "ASIA"...

and Lin isn't even from Asia...he's born and raised in Palo Alto Ca.






me - "Lin's parents are from Taiwan...but Lin was born and Raised in California...he is American....just as nearly all other Americans who had forefathers from another country"

you - "he's Asian.....his parents are from Asia...."

me - "yes he has similar physical traits as someone from Taiwan...but just because he has black hair and brown eyes doesn't mean he act's like "Asian" whatever that even means"

you - "He is more Asian then someone who doesn't look like Asian"

me - " I have lived and spent more time all over many different country's in Asia....I actually speak Mandarin very well...i observe many Taiwanese traditions and understand the island..."

you - "yeah but Lin looks like Yao Ming so he is more Asian"


me - :facepalm

Exact same thing as:

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1K4MXMiBMZU/TlVg9YcIQfI/AAAAAAAAQ-c/Jq9KJR34VfA/s400/king-of-dogs-01.jpg

Just bigger...and a different color....and vastly different in build...and mannerisms...and purpose...and...everything short of basic species.

If two things are the same species...giving them labels based on them being factually very different is "ignorant".

Lets stop calling dogs different breeds. If your daughter wants a teacup poodle cop her a mastiff.

http://www.dogs-info.net/uploads/allimg/110917/1T610J58-2.jpg

Same species. Same animal. Put her on punishment if she has a problem with it. Breed means nothing and acknowledging it makes you anti science.

Things should be identified by the government of the soil under the building in which they emerge from their mothers. Thats what determines what you are. Not the genetic material of the two people who create you.


wow...sarcasm right?


You do know all dog's behave nearly the same way....you think poodle's aren't agrressive??......they are more aggressive then most Big Dog's ..as often little dogs are.

little dogs are often alowwed to Bark (chirp) and act loud...but are not viewed as threatning because of their size...

and just as in human's (little man complex) Dog's temperments vary according to each Dog and how it's raised..

many bad reputation dogs get a bad rep because the way they are brought up..(to be aggressive)...

yes many Dogs look different and some behave different...they come in all shapes and sizes..as do people....


but once again...you base everything off of minor physical traits and once again are 100% wrong.

Because I grew up 10 minutes from where Lin grew up....

[GOBB]

If Jeremy Lin mugs you and police ask you for a description of him? What are you going to say to them so they can find Jeremy Lin?

Advice: Saying he is American isnt going to help much.

You did the retarded captions, so now do one of a police officer asking you for a description ogf Jeremy Lin who just mugged you. I want to see how well you tap dance.
