Just got an email...
I'm a bit annoyed right now... I work for a summer opera program and the singers are set to arrive tomorrow. I'm not going. I only run the emails and online applications. But I got an email from a girl TONIGHT asking me when she should call and request a shuttle to take her from the airport a couple hours away to the location...... FIRST: this information is in the handbook. I always tell them to read the freaking handbook but they never do. I politely responded: "you need to call them immediately. Sometimes they require 24 hour notice so get it done as soon as possible." I didn't get her next email until midnight, which read: "The handbook doesn't have the phone number of the company! Can you send it to me please so I can call them!?" SECONDLY: The Handbook has a link to the shuttle company's website. All she has to do is click the link in the PDF to go to the website and see the information. But she wants me to drop what I'm doing, go to the Handbook, go to the website FOR her, and copy the phone number FOR her and send it to her. I did not. It's midnight. This is something that she should have done a while ago. Can she not google? Does she not internet? She emails just fine... I responded politely, but as my laptop is being repaired, and the handbook is not readily available on my phone and I'd have to search through emails to find a copy, I told her to go to the shuttle company's website and find the info, and to contact someone else, as I'm not going to be there. Seriously.... she's in her 20's. She's not a frickin baby. Grow up.

Apparently V fell during “Blood Sweat and Tears” on the second day in Japan! He seems to be ok, but Jimin’s reaction is SO FREAKIN SWEET! I mean, I love Tae, but my bias wrecker is totally Jimin. Tae and Kookie also have a moment at the end of the video. These boys are killing me over here…..
i’m crying
On Asian "accents"
It started when I was in kindergarten, and I was so proud I did not have to go to Bingo class, unlike my friends, because I could speak good English -
although I had no idea what a yellow dog that could spell had anything to do with Chinese.
(I figure out now that it was probably called Bilingual class)
I am lucky. I speak the fluent, accentless English of newscasters, the dialect spoken by the children of immigrants, that we learned not from our parents but rather from watching Sesame Street and other things on tv.
Last year, a white facebook friend of mine posted, “In order to celebrate Chinese New Year, me talk rike chinese man arr day.”
And then told me that she was “sorry I was offended” and “she didn’t mean anything by it” when I (nicely, sweetly) told her that that shit was not okay. She said that she saw it the same as doing an accent, like Irish. Or British. Or Italian. (for bonus points, she even said that she has lots of Asian co-workers and friends, and LOVES Asian people, and so is not a racist.)
And when one of my white friends gets drunk, he thinks his “Asian accent” is hilarious.
And I was told by a coworker about the time my Asian coworker mispronounced “Barroway” as “Bwawwoway” and how hilarious it was.
Here’s the thing - can you guess how many Asian people I know who actually say
me rikey
me from _____
me so solly
(or, if you like, the fetishized versions: me so horny, me love you long time)
if you said ZERO, then ding ding ding! Congratulations, you have working brain cells.
No, my misguided fb friend, the “Asian accent” is not an actual imitation of an accent, comparable to your bad British/Irish/Italian - but rather a mockery of Asian people and their supposed inability to speak English. It is the perpetuation of the image of Asian people as perpetual foreigners in America.
Like that time when my family was at an Italian restaurant, and we were speaking to my father in Cantonese, and a drunken white lady said very loudly, “GOD when you come to this country at least learn the language!”
Or when my father was pulled over for speeding, and although he said “what’s the problem, officer?” the first thing the state trooper said was, “Do you speak English?”
Your fake “Asian accents” are not harmless and silly, because at the root of the joke, it says - you, you are stupid. You cannot speak English. You are Other. You do not belong.
my parents have been in this country for 30 years. They have been American citizens for 30 years.
And they are very self-conscious of their imperfect English, afraid that it makes them look ignorant, knowing that it marks them as immigrants. That, after 30 years, you can still be told (in not so many words) that you do not belong.
The Cultural Revolution started in China when my father was 13. He was pulled out of school and, later, sent to work in the fields. (He escaped to Hong Kong when he was 18, but that is another story for another time.)
When my father came to this country, he had a middle school education and did not speak a lick of English. He worked as a busboy at a Chinese restaurant, the evening shift that ran until 3 or 4 in the morning, and went to school during the day.
It took my father ten years to earn his bachelor’s degree. He is now an engineer.
Is this not your “American Dream?”
When my mother came to this country, she spoke very little English. She got a job as an entry level clerk. Over the years she earned one promotion after another. She is now management at a large federal agency, and manages funds for the whole state.
Is this not your “American Dream?”
And my father didn’t understand why his coworkers said, “flied lice, flied lice!” to him over and over and laughed.
And my father is still afraid to speak in a professional setting, even when he has ideas.
And my mother still checks and double checks her professional e-mails with me, for fear of mockery from the same people she manages.
And people don’t understand why I can’t take a harmless joke. Why I don’t think that shit is funny.
No, I don’t “rikey.”
No, I won’t “love you long time.”
And no, I’m not sorry.
So, please, kindly - FUCK OFF.
Reblogging this for, like, the fiftieth time because it has never stopped being relevant to my life and it always, always breaks my heart.
It’s not funny. It’s not okay. It’s not harmless. It’s alienating and hurtful.
Okay. I never comment on posts, but.
Fun fact from a linguistics student.
Languages like Japanese and Korean have one liquid phoneme. Just one. This refers to, in English, our L and R sounds. To those speakers, these sounds are exactly the same in terms of phonetic meaning. The difference, for them, is essentially (in a really broken down and basic way) the difference between saying “toe-MAY-toe” and “toe-MAH-toe.”
So, if an East Asian person confuses these sounds, it’s because for them, they’re the same sound, just pronounced slightly differently.
So, in short, fuck you, and your nasty racist comments. Try learning Mandarin Chinese as a native English speaker. It’s a tonal language. Have fun.
Trying purple makeup....purple lips and purple bottom liner... just feel like it.
So I noticed a thing..... And now I have this story in my head of Chang Wook being V's sexy older brother, and I can totally get behind that.

Candace's deep thoughts at 1am
People are always shocked when I say I listen to Korean music.... I also listen to Russian and Japanese music! They're all, "but you don't know what they're saying!!!" Well, having sung and listened to operas in Italian, German, French and Russian, why can't I listen to popular music from other countries? There's an amazing thing called "the internet" where you can look up the translations of song lyrics....come on. There is a lot of talent, a lot of music and artistry, a lot of fun, emotional, poignant, thought provoking, gorgeous melodies and lyrics in the world. Don't limit yourself to English. Check out The Slot, BTS, The Metropolitan Opera, and whatever other artist or performing venue out there you can find. Expand your horizons people! That's all for Candace's deep thoughts at 1am. Goodnight everybody!
I'm like, insanely obsessed with this video....and bts
“this award belongs to the people all around the world that shine the love and light on us by the millions and make BTS proud” ♡
