This one comes from Rebecca C. Thanks!
Today I explained to my friends that I cannot wink because of my chinky eyes and it just looks awkward. They all fell on the floor laughing. MLIA.

Class Notes – From MLIAsian’s Blog
omg that ALWAYS happens to me!
this post captures why i find this blog kind of unnecessary. it just plays on ethnic stereotypes without really trying to be smart about it. mymomisafob.com at least frames the stereotype as an endearing representation, but this just racializes it in uneasy terms. first of why, why refer to your eyes as chinky? it’s fine as a reference to a racist ideology or style (such as “that movie was so oriental”) but i wouldn’t call myself that. these friends seem to be non-asian and not laughing with you but at you. but then again, it sounds like rebecca is making fun of her herself to begin with, in a self-protective way. to me, it reveals how insecure the humor is.
