bill o'reilly knows zero about hawaii and what he says about "asian" nature/culture/whatever in that clip has nothing in it beyond the "they built the railroads and study hard at math" level so

The Asian culture

Ah, he's dressed up as one of the Three Kings. Even he seems unsure about it all.

not to mention O'Reilly's claim that PSY was "some fat little guy from Ying Yang" or whatever

frogbs, Monday, 7 January 2013 17:58 (eleven years ago) link

Don't get why Jon Stewart plays nice with that guy, and other atrocious people like Huckabee.

I like it when I see white ppl at asian supermarkets, I'm always so intrigued like what exactly are you gonna buy

乒乓, Thursday, 10 January 2013 23:04 (eleven years ago) link

One thing I know for sure is that the Mexican markets seem to be the only ones that know when an avocado is actually ripe

frogbs, Thursday, 10 January 2013 23:06 (eleven years ago) link

on the whole I encourage white ppl to shop at asian supermarkets tho, its fun there are lots of cool snacks and ingredients and things to buy

乒乓, Thursday, 10 January 2013 23:08 (eleven years ago) link

'Ethnic' is such a daft word in this context. Crime section aside though, I'd let it slide.

Tullamorte Tullamore (ShariVari), Thursday, 10 January 2013 23:08 (eleven years ago) link

Omg dayo so true. Lechera took me to an Asian market she frequents and I got lots of stuff. For one thing I KILLED that bag of seaweed crackers on the train.

grossly incorrect register (in orbit), Thursday, 10 January 2013 23:10 (eleven years ago) link

yes seaweed crackers, also scallion crackers http://i.imgur.com/XUzWz.jpg

I love Asian supermarkets but I've got to admit that I go in with a certain air of "whoa look at all this weird shit I don't understand, what the heck even is this" which, ok, is kind of racist, since we are on the looking for things to be racist thread

but also I come home with delicious foodstuffs often for cheap

mordy can you weigh in on whether you think this is racist: rolling off a molly thread 2013

i'm going to wait for the poll results before i make up my mind

Mordy, Thursday, 10 January 2013 23:28 (eleven years ago) link

I love asian supermarkets and always hit them when I travel as I can't get a lot of stuff where I live. I've had at least a couple times when people would stare at me while trying to decipher which exact type of pickled vegetable to buy, or tell me which brand of kecap manis is shitty and which to buy instead.

I've had a couple of older women at the checkouts actually get sort of mean, asking me if I knew what I was buying, why I was buying it, what I was going to do with it, and how the hell do I know how to cook Korean or Vietnamese food?

joygoat, Thursday, 10 January 2013 23:42 (eleven years ago) link

Gonna have to start combining this "Sriracha" sauce with some of my favorite foodstuffs! I love eating like an ethnic!

What I bought: hazelnut oil, seaweed crackers, two cans of panang curry, a kid's toy, some chili sauce that didn't have msg on the label and the label was a cool design. I would have gotten more but the lugging, the lugging.

grossly incorrect register (in orbit), Friday, 11 January 2013 00:19 (eleven years ago) link

you probably could have gotten all that in mht ctown

乒乓, Friday, 11 January 2013 00:20 (eleven years ago) link

i went into my local asian supermarket and was overwhelmed by all the stuff that i had no idea how to cook or eat, so i came out with a big sack of cheap rice, felt so fuckin white it wasn't funny

I also like the neon ceiling and the (frequently) shorter line outside the door as compared to their major competition down the street.
