Ran into Jay Park, an acquaintance from high school yesterday with Victor. Despite being Korean, he is working in a Japanese restaurant. I had forgotten he goes to Umass. We talked for a bit and he brought up something that has designated in my mind for some reason. That being that despite liking Americans, he only really sees Koreans these days. I don't get why this seems to happen but its something relatively common on campus. There really aren't very many multiracial couples or groups. I really don't get why Asian kids keep to themselves so much. I've heard its because they feel more comfortable with their own culture, but isn't America a blending of cultures? At college especially, shouldn't they be trying to expand their horizons?
Of course, they never will try to do that. They'll stay in their comfy little world of broken English and bubble tea and probably will marry another Korean and have adorable children that will disappointed them horribly when they perform averagely in high school and run off with a large black man named Theodore. He'll look exactly like this:
And there I go again, completely destroying any valid point I may or may not have had.
Speaking of awesome Asians, Christina is coming this weekend to finish up filming. Then we will party. Hardy.
