Life can get pretty Asian for the average Asian.
Welcome to the original MLIAsian site!
What is the idea behind MLIAsian?
Ever wonder why you can’t enjoy a square meal without white rice? Or why fish just doesn’t taste right without shoyu? Can’t find a good excuse for your bad driving, aside from the fact that you inherited your mom’s Toyota Sienna/Honda Odyssey?
Amidst all the struggle to define ourselves, the moment when we realized “yes, I’m Asian American (or Canadian, Argentinian, Australian — whatever nationality you may be!) , and proud of it”…
…Some things still just happen that make us say “Holy smokin’ incense! I’m so Asian.” So you’ve just realized that you’ve inherited your mom’s habit of collecting paper napkins and keeping them in your glove compartment, or learned that you have the irresistible urge to raise up peace signs while having your photo taken.
Embrace it. (Or if you’re really just a bad driver, at least you’ve got an excuse for it. Use it.) Your life is Asian.
MLIAsian.
In short:
We’re all about:
- Honoring the family name
- Angry Asian parents
- Instant Ramen < Real Ramen
- Sharing stories, finding common ground = community
- Admitting that sterotypical moments can happen occasionally
- LOLing when those moments happen
We’re not thrilled by:
- Long Duk Dong
- Yellowface
- Ads that tell us to find exotic sexy Asian wives
- Hating non-Asians
- Actually getting into car accidents
- Ching Chang Chong (unless that’s really your name, in which case, props!)
- Shooting ourselves in the foot
