    as of today, I AM SO TIRED OF “ANGRY ASIAN MEN”!!!

    note: that doesn’t mean all APIA men, just the ones who claim to belong to that special breed of supposedly “APIA aware and enlightened” men that generally enjoy spouting rants of their own, but who don’t really do anything to resolve what they’re ranting about.)

    i’ve loved Angry Asian Men for years, until i realized over the past week how the most vocal of this breed tend to:

    1. believe that their oversimplified, superficial philosophies are the Word of God
    2. believe that self-righteous ranting is somehow contributing to the APIA community
    3. indulge in self-righteous ranting
    4. excuse themselves from actually DOING anything for the APIA community because they are supposedly “filling a need” by self-righteously ranting
    5. don’t know how to meaningfully interact with other people, tending towards dysfunctional relationships, abusive relationships, or none at all
    6. blame other people for their own inabilities to develop good relationships and interpersonal communication skills

    …and most of all, THEY JUST DON’T PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH!

    i try not to use “hate” as much as possible, because it’s often misused melodramatically or in place of a word that would better describe the person’s emotion at that moment, and it also dilutes the intensity and strength of the emotion conveyed by “hate” if it’s overused; but one thing i truly hate is a SELF-RIGHTEOUS HYPOCRITE(!), and it seems that the new breed of Angry Asian Man is falling into that hole…the ASS hole!

    there a few in particular that i once believed were more enlightened, more aware, more understanding…and now that i have 20/20 hindsight, i see more clearly how i was misled by their rhetoric.

    good words don’t equal good logic. good words don’t equal good action. good words can be read or heard, then swallowed and regurgitated on command…the person spitting them out doesn’t really have to understand what the words mean, as long as they appear to understand. the person spitting them out doesn’t really have to have experienced what they’re talking about, as long as they can imagine and pretend like they have. and i find that dishonest, and their dishonesty makes them hypocritical. YOU AIN’T KEEPIN’ IT REAL.

    there are a few Angry Asian Men out there who are more wise and speak from experience, but they are dwindling rapidly, “fleeting as an endangered species,” as one AAM might say. and most of them are in their 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, etc. and married.

    so, you so-called Angry Asian Men, if and when you see an APIA woman with a non-APIA man, and you feel the urge to call her a sell-out or a self-hater or a traitor to our race, you best bite the shit out of your tongue, or else i will rip it out of your fucking head for you, because we may not hate our selves or our race–we may hate people like you who think that we should settle for unhappy and unsatisfying relationships with APIA men simply because they’re APIA, as opposed to looking for someone–anyone–who believes in us and challenges us and cares for us and makes us laugh until we piss our pants.
