Nah not weird, as someone who bow to people because of school habit, and sometimes eat with chopstick to eat less I have suffer this thing too by my brother. Of course it's a joke by them and I don't really care cause I find their culture beautiful plus chopstick are used by many and it does help me eat less abit so yeah you're not weird you're just passionate in learning the culture you love especially learning diff language and their culture deeply
Yap session incoming. Okay, so, I have Gilbert’s syndrome and this causes me to look yellowish sometimes, like Jaundice (not quite as bad)
My mom said I look Jaundiced today and I replied sarcastically that I just love looking yellow, and my mom said “Well, you’re yellow like Asians. You’re always trying to be Asian.” And I was taken aback, but honestly not surprised she said that. I was like, “I’m not trying or wanting to be Asian, I just like a lot of Asian foods and Asian culture” and she replied “I was just trying to help you live your dream!” And she said it in a funny way ig idk, like a joke. But I feel like she actually thinks I’m trying to be Asian because of all the Asian stuff I’m into . And the fact that I mostly eat/like East Asian foods and recipes (Indian, Thai, and Chinese/Japanese food tastes the best to me)
Anyways, now I feel weird because I’m thinking of weird Koreaboos and people who try to “become” a different race.
I like a lot of East Asian culture, and I find East Asian culture the most interesting. I like anime, manwha/manga, East Asian foods, KPOP/CPOP/TPOP etc. and Jdrama/Kdrama/Cdrama. I do talk about Asian culture to my mom sometimes, like laws, stories, social differences, etc. And I studied Mandarin with a Chinese teacher for two years.
Now, I’m worried that I’m being weird?? Or others see it as me being a weirdo? Does it seem strange? I don’t think I’m Asian of course, like *cough* some people (Oli London) and I wouldn’t say I’m TRYING to be Asian, other than maybe wanting to live in a different country one day and experience the culture more.
