My parents must be part asian then, because 16, 19 and 27 are very true about my mom n dad. Granted, the jars were kept for mom's homemade jams with fruit from the farmers markets, garden, etc :drool: :drool: :drool:

bang on

[dirtysamwich]

:rofl: 100% true

[dirtysamwich]

And wtf Vagabond is asian? Always thought you were white lol.

[Beno]

How about SPAM for breakfast, lunch, snack time, dinner? Or is that not asian specific.

I am whiter than white bread. I work in IT so I'm naturally in windowless, sunless rooms, crawling under desks to fix computers :D

I was saying that some of the "Asian stereotypes" also seem to fit my mom and dad... that's all. (and they're both white)

[heavyD]

You guys really wrap remote controls? And I thought Italians were bad for putting plastic on furniture lol.

[GQNammer]

They forgot to mention rice with hot dogs. Oh, and a box of Mi MaMa could feed a family of 4 for a solid week.

What about wrapping your license plate in clear plastic? What about edging your lawn with scissors? I miss my old neighbor hhaha.

27. Finally: Your parents gave you everything they had and spent nothing on themselves. They know firsthand the dangers of the world, and their work isn't done until they see you get a job as a doctor, lawyer, concert violinist/pianist or engineer so that they can move into your house and annoy your wife until they die at the age of 102.

Fixed #27 for my Chinese friend and his Canadian wife.

What is with people hating on the wrapping of remote controls, every time a person (pretty much white every time) came over they would see this and laugh, thinking it is crazy or something.

It's tacky, chessy and you're not getting the natural feel and pleasure of the buttons.

Been barebacking my remotes for over 10 years, never looked back.

Also hate it when Asian friends install a new (car) stereo and they refuse to remove that film on the face. Most times this clear film outlasts the car or ownership of that Asian driver anyways.

That goes for everything. I know people who use their "original screen protector" on their phones.

I hate how true this is :rofl:

When my kids are older, I will show them this list and let them know how lucky they are that I am not this kind of asian immigrant parent.

You're not this type of parent?

Are you fucking kidding me? I'm using this as a checklist when I have kids! I'll probably even add a few of my own :rofl:
