Tell us some of your rules =]~

Note: This is in no way made to be of offense in anyway, and this is made for fun and may not apply to all asians.

We are so weird xDD

I'm asian as well, and I will paste the best steps for me there, and write what I think about it xd


Step 4: Do the V (Victory) sign in all photo

The epic, and classic V sign for all asians ^ o ^)v
Beware, some wannabe asians uses that epic sign as well. V SIGN IS JUST FOR ASIANS HUU

Step 5: Do comparison shopping for everything

Every asians are stingy, so we check all the shops to see which one is cheaper. =A=

Step7: Always be like OMG WHY SO EXPENSIVE? IT SHOULD BE 10 DOLLAHH (etc)

Every asians are stuck to the old century when EVERYTHING used to be cheap. XD

Step8: Compare your kids with others

Oh yeah...This, unfortunately, happens everytime. =A=
My parents like to compare me with my cousin which is better than me, and have really better marks =A=

Step9: When you have kids, yell at them in a different language

My parents can speak french, but when we are outside, they yell at me in vietnamese so nobody can't understand. XD

Step16: Eat rice everyday

That's just so true. I guess I will eat rice later. XD

Step19: Drink tea everyday

Mmmmh, I call myself a "tea-addict", I really drink tea everyday huhuhu.

Step24: When you go to someone’s house play cards and sing karaoke.


Everyone knows that karaoke is just asians favorite hobby =A=

LOL. This is true on so many levels. XDDD I am horrible at mah-jong though XDDD

<-- is Asian
LOL all of these stuff are sooo true! XD

What I do mostly do:

Step 4: Do the V (Victory) sign in all photo
I just can't help it =w=)v

Step7: Always be like OMG WHY SO EXPENSIVE? IT SHOULD BE 10 DOLLAHH (etc)
Let's face it, I'm a cheapskate 8D

Step11: Tell your kids to be doctors or lawyers
My parents always tell me that =3=

Step 15: Do not be lazy
That's a lie, I am lazy XD

Step16: Eat rice everyday
Rice delish 8DD;;

LOL XD
Mah Jong is good 8D
I played it for the first time and I actually won XD

I'm asian, but I'm Malay o-o And I think the definition of "Asian" for most people is too generalised, because most non-asians associate it with Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, Korean, Phillipines, etc =w= (tbh, it gets irritating after a while 8D)

Blehs. I won't really list out "How to Be A [Singaporean] Malay", because it's just too horribly negative. (extremely sad truth.) But to say the least, it's barely anything like th ones listed above 8D

~Una

This is SO funny! *is asian*
My faves:
Step 1: Use chopsticks properly
We don't normally use chopsticks here, but I can use them easily. XD

Step 4: Do the V (Victory) sign in all photo

They are just too fun to not do. Especially karaoke even though everyone's sings horribly.

Step26: When you do go over to a friend house on a school day it has to be for school work
Very very very very true. Sometimes though, we end up not doing any school work. XD

Step7: Always be like OMG WHY SO EXPENSIVE? IT SHOULD BE 10 DOLLAHH (etc)
