How does my own argument not apply to myself? I believe you're misreading what I'M saying here. It's not that it does not apply to me at all - it's VERY relevant and applies to me greatly (coughreadingcomprehensioncough). If you were asian and face these very same issues, I would suggest you not to use to potentially offend people. So no, it would not change what I said at all. This has blown out of proportion and I'm going to stop this hijacked thread. Assuming you follow your trend and want to get back with the last shot, go right on ahead
You've just contradicted yourself:
And it is NOT the same about me, considering that I fall under this category and very much share the sentiments of the OP and much of the other corroborating posters.
But I'll let your reading comprehension explain why you just tore down everything you said.
There's nothing wrong with using two words in conjunction to state an observation that I see in this thread. Now I'm entirely convinced that you only started this argument for the sake of arguing and/or misread what I said completely (reading comprehension) and felt offended by what I said when I, in fact, did not mean what you thought I meant.
If you're really against reading the entire thread to see that I was right, I shall define it clearly for you so you won't need to turn on your reading comprehension:
Asiatic = adjective for a noun (in this case a person) with origins from Asia.
Angst = anxiety
In general = This angst in which you speak of applies to more than just Indians
Asiatic angst in general = The anxiety in this thread does not just come from Indians, but other groups of Asians in this thread.
NO flame intention. NO condescension. NO NOTHING. My one biggest pet peeve on the internet is when people make assumptions or over-analyze what people mean. Take everything to face value unless stated otherwise, please.
If you feel like you've argued yourself into a corner, then feel free to drop out. It's not like I really care. And if it helps you sleep at night, I AM Asian. I just found it hilarious that you kept assuming (PET PEEVE) that I was some non-Asian person who looks down upon Asians.
