Why do Asians really get straight A's? - Project Gutenberg Consortia ...

country. Living with just Asian culture is too one-dimensional, like your d@mn hair. ” He's
actually right about “ being too Asian. ” I really do need to change but that's easier said than
done. Gabriel's also right about how “ there's nothing wrong with being Asian. ” There's also
nothing wrong with practicing Asian customs, as well as appreciating Asian culture. But the
problem with Asians is that they don't wish to appreciate other cultures; they have an
ethnocentric view that Asian culture is better than every other culture (Ethnocentricity is
another reason why Asians congregate together in Asiatowns.) I see so many Asians with
“ Asian Pride ” stickers on their vehicles and “ Asian Power ” tattoos on their bodies. They think
that they are better, but in fact, they're not. No culture is better than any other culture, just as
no person is better than any other person. Perhaps Asians forgot to read the Declaration of
Independence, which states: “ all men are created equal. ” I guess they didn't bother to read it
since they only came to America for the opportunity to make lots of money, not for freedom or
equality.
In New York City, for instance, many Chinese people live in Chinatown and stay there
for the majority of their lives, without even stepping outside once. They may say that the
reason they only stay in Chinatown is because they don't speak English well enough to leave,
but there are many non-profit organizations and schools that teach English for free, even at
the student's residence for convenience. The truth is that many Chinese people don't want to
learn English, because they don't want to assimilate. In other words, they think that their
culture is the best— ethnocentricity— and that other cultures are inferior, particularly American
culture. So why do they live in America then? Remember what I said about how Asians
moving to America, not for freedom, liberty or patriotism? It's always about the money.
As Gabriel mentioned, America is a multicultural country, a country full of different
cultures, with the appreciation of different cultures. Asians can learn a lot just by appreciating
and understanding other cultures, instead of keeping their false ethnocentric view that Asian
culture is the best.
“ Gabriel. I'll grow out my hair if you shave your nasty beard, ” I say to him, proceeding
to make a deal. I know he'll be more than happy to oblige.
“ You got it, Johnson. Anything to help your social life. ”
Now that's something I really need help with. It's embarrassing to tell you this, but I've
never had a girlfriend. Well, not a real girlfriend anyway. I've been out with girls and made out
with a few but never anything long term. There's no way to have a girlfriend with all this
