i am half chinese, and mostly people don't notice i think,
but if i do/say something about asian,

like i said i wanted to join a japanese, and a mandarin chinese class,
or when i was cooking udon in the uni kitchen, etc.

people ask, 'are you japanese'?
so i just say no, no one ever called me a wannabe asian before.. i think maybe it's different in the UK. i get the feeling japanese modern culture is much less well known here than in the US for example, like fashion, music, anime etc. so you do not get accused so much of that.. hmm.


is anyone else half asian/western,
i think.. you are less likely to be called wannabe asian if you are,
even if people don't notice your asian-ness at first, if you seem interested in the culture they think, ah she's asian so maybe that's normal ~~
i think it must be harder for completely non-asians.. my friend told me that if she says to people she's interested in japanese culture, people think she's weird/ask why, no one ever said that to me before, i think i remember her saying she's envious of me 'cause of that..
i think there are good and bad things about being half, but i wouldn't change haha xD

mm i don't know. xP
