Turkey & Egg

 

China is known for its porcelain, so there is some connection between the two.

But turkey? Turkey the bird is native the Northern America. Nothing to do with Istanbul... or so I thought!

Real Conversations in America (9)

One third of San Francisco are Asian and a quarter of all Californians are foreign-born. Everyone loves Thai food, dim sum and Asian girls get the hotties boys. But when it comes to Asian guys? Take a look:-

 

"No Asian" (online dating profile; Craigslist.com)

"White and Black only" (online dating profile)

"White, Black or Hispanic only" (online dating profile)

"No Asian" (online dating profile; gay.com)

"No Asian" (online dating profile; mygaydar.com)

"No Asian" (online dating profile; manhunt.net)

"Lets get something straight from the start, the whites only (sic) is what I want in bed, if you can't handle it, take your bullshit somewhere else..." from "WhiteisRight"; online dating.

"Lucky that you're Asian. Otherwise, I would've suck your face!" (an Asian)

"I like Asian boys. They have this vulnerable thing going on. Very sexy." (a Latino)

If anything, Prop.8 has woken up a whole new generation of gay rights supporters.

Pink as the New Black


I identified with The African American's Civil Rights Struggle, but African Americans don't identify with my gay rights struggle.

Apparently gays didn't suffer enough and our cause not sufficiently linked to the black church to have earned the title of a civil rights movement.

What a bunch of bull shit!

May be No on Prop.8 was really just a bad campaign. 

May be I am far too naive about how fragmented modern society is.

May be it IS true that everybody needs to look down on somebody - this human nature of having to feel good about ourselves at any cost.
