How to Be Asian American
- ADORE BOBA (bubble tea)! True Asian Americans spend more money on boba weekly than food.
- Speak conversational Asian language but don’t read or white because that’s just too legit.
- Juggle 47 extracurriculars and maintain a 4.0 GPA so you can apply to all the Ivy League schools to make your parents proud.
- When someone asks you “where are you *really* from”, don’t say anywhere in the US (because they won’t believe you and then proceed to ask you where your parents, grandparents, and great-great ancestors are from).
- Never complain about the “smelly” lunches that your mom makes you, because you will miss them when you have to start cooking for yourself.
- Turn red after so much as looking at alcohol.
- For the ladies, work that makeup if you are to buy said alcohol… apparently photo ID is not enough evidence to show that you are over 21 smh.
- See photo below. No description necessary.
- Watch Crazy Rich Asians. Because you will be asked about it. A lot.
- Decide which one you are: Asian, or American. There is no other option.**These are only some of the traits that define a “model millennial Asian American”. They are by NO means necessary in order to identify as Asian American, Asian, American, or whatever else you wish to be**
