How boring. I noticed this<\/a> today. I am<\/i> the last Asian American to comment on Abercrombie and Fitch. I could care less, as I am about indifferent about anything politically in this world. I guess that comes from living in Berkeley, huh.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, while I was working with Nam on the CS project, I couldn\\’t help but hear an asian girl (who I thought was annoying to begin with) talking to this white guy about the A&F controversy. \\”Asians are so underrepresented…the world needs change now!\\” Blah blah. It kept building up that I couldn\\’t concentrate on coding, since she was being so loud. The entire lab almost quieted for a second to listen to her speak. Personally I have never bought anything from Abercrombie and Fitch. First, because stereotypicall like all Asians, I am cheap. Second, because there\\’s no A&F near where I live!!! The closest one is in Union Square. My sister\\’s 17th birthday present was from there. An A&F visor.<\/p>\n

And so what if they make fun of us. Maybe I was spared or something, because I never encountered a racial slur or perhaps I never noticed. Although I grew up in a Caucasion-dominant community, I felt…well accepted for my ethnicity. But ya know just like high school, I wasn\\’t accepted because…uh I was a geek\/nerd? And a lack of social skills, I must say.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, I wouldn\\’t be caught dead wearing those shirts, because I don\\’t associate myself with Chinese that often. And besides, the pictures looked dorky in the first place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
