I’m 40 and I’ve never bought a box of moon cakes in my life.
i'm with you, never understood the hype or cost, and hated the taste, especially the yoke

as a kid i'd remember the hongers treating CBC's like they're white, especially if you can't fluently read/write/speak canto. of course everyone else just sees you as chinese based on looks.
these days idgaf i just wish i can read a menu where ever i'm eating at
I can read the menu if it's from a HK cafe lol. Otherwise it's spotty at best. In the eyes of hongers, I'll always be the white boy of the group and that's fine. I know I've improved my Canto a TON since highschool.
Around here, I hardly ever get treated like an "outsider" due to race. Sure, there were incidents in Calgary and maybe once or twice in Richmond but otherwise no such things happened to me other than being viewed as just another Canadian.

Actually, when I'm in HK it's super obvious to them I'm not a local lol. I get WAY more attention from girls out there compared to here. It's a bit of a story, not really frugal shopper related material
I stand out in HK. Me and two other guys taking the MTR, we converse in a mix of canto and English, and we type on our phones in all English. The amount of "hey pick me" kind of vibe is very strong from chicks.
i stand out too. i dont see it but people say i dont look chinese.
we're going back in march for 清明!
i remember the amount of attention i got from these girls and how easy it was in my 20s. sure didnt hurt having my local cousin/wingman randomly dropping "oh hes visiting from canada."
edit: now i wish the gf wasnt joining, but my parents invited her.
Also idk what it is particularly about Asia but people are REALLY short. Like I'm 5'8 which isn't remarkably tall, but holy crap all the girls out there are literally shawties.

Mmmmm…. Yes. Thirsty bitches in Asia. That’s why 69stylez is banned from going there.
We don’t need more half breeds running around trying to figure out their identity.

Wow, if your parents invited her for 清明, that's serious!

over there, guys like us are considered tall. imagine that

Hahaha yes!! They’ve said if I’m not going to marry this bitch at least bring her along to meet the rest of the family.
This will be her first time going to china/asia, she’s going to be in for a culture shock. And she’s a halfer that’s looks more white than Chinese. She’s going to stand out like a sore thumb.

This is the trap. The expectation is you marry her.

Both me & my son are 6'1" so it's easy to spot us in a crowded MTR station. When standing in the train car itself, we can see all the way down to the other end.

I have a relative in HK who grew up in Sydney. I met her for the first time a number of years ago and I told her I understood nothing she said and preferred she speak to me in Cantonese. She called me a racist.
