[QUOTE=TheCane;2947354]Methinks you've been spending too much time with Siri. Totally making no sense! In any event, you started all of this talking about things you have no real understanding of, as the facts have clearly demonstrated. As far as I'm concerned, this case is dismissed! With prejudice against you my friend. Haha![/QUOTE]What are you talking about? You're the one telling an Asian American how we refer to ourselves because you "have an Asian coworker". Or the word of some dude pretending to be Asian and steering people away from Sharks, claiming gang violence, and now a new fake gunshot story in Germany with some other spam account. Are you hearing yourself? You're being ridiculousz.
Asian Americans use the term "Asian American" like a white dude uses the term white. Do white Americans go around saying "I'm German American?" Or "British American?" No they just say white. Italian Americans? They might just say Italian. Jamaican Americans? No just Jamaican or just black. If a Chinese-American wanted to specify a country, he would most likely just say Chinese. If "I'm yellow" wasn't an insulting option, we would say that. Chinese-American would rarely be used and most likely only in print or at a formal event that may warrant it.
What do your post with commentators and cultural organizations show? Are there actual Asians using those specific terms casually? Nah, there's not. Because most normal Asian Americans, just like white and Black Americans, wouldn't feel the need to specify any further. Why you would think differently either implies an imposed view of foreigner status or was just said out of ignorance.
