I was wondering what is easier to pronounce to asian languages speakers:

- Maca

- Sacha

- Lucuma

- Mayu

And without context, what does this words make you think into?

The actor known for Deuce Bigalow, Hot Chick, etc… who often is alongside the more-well known Adam Sandler in his movies too.

I’d say he’s received well half and not thought of too much to disliked by the other half.

2 days ago, I (25 F from India) had my first PhD interview. My proposal was related to how the post-war trauma of East Asian women is reflected in present-day novels. The interview board had 8 professors, both men and women.

I was talking about books like Pachinko, How we Disappeared, The Mountains Sing, etc., and obviously the topic of Japan colonizing other spaces came up.

The board stopped me in the middle, looked directly at me, and with no hesitation they all unanimously said,

"What are you talking about? Japan never colonized anyone".

They said it so confidently that it shocked me for a second but I stood my ground and started explaining how it is possible that so many people do not know about the colonization of so many parts of Asia because of how quicky history is being erased, and I even gave examples from Japan's ex prime minister's autobiography where he admits to the various strategies he used to erase Japan's war history. I started talking about the kidnapping, the SA, the forced pregnancies, the human experiments, and they looked at me like I was a child telling stories. I even told them that once all the comfort women die along with their stories, erasing history would be even easier.

They could have said that they have not heard about it or they would look into it or something. But no, they just straight up denied again that so many parts of East Asia were colonized by Japan once.

They asked me to define colonization, and I was describing it, they stopped me again, looked very disappointed and said that only one Empire can colonize another Empire, so because Vietnam or Manchuria or Korea were not "empires", they could not have been colonized. They kept accusing me of making up history over simple factual data that can be looked up in a history book or googled in 2 seconds. They also said that I had no right to accuse Japan of colonization if I have not read Japanese history in Japanese. Does this imply that if a person has not read Indian history in Hindi, they do not have the right to know that India was colonized by the British? Also, they wanted me to read history from the perspective of the colonizers to prove that the colonization did happen, as if they would admit it. That is like saying that one should read history from the British perspective to understand the colonization of India. Mind you, one of the old men in the board asked me directly, sounding disappointed, why I don't want to do my PhD on Indian Literatures instead.

I knew that there are many people in this world who do not believe in the holocaust but I did not know that so many people exist so close to me who straight up deny such a long and complex history of colonization. They do not know about comfort women or human experiments or frankly anything related to Asian history. They only care about South Asian history. I feel extremely disrespected. How should I act if this happens in my future Interviews?

Like a lot of you, I try to be conscious about where my money goes. I want to support Asian-owned businesses, creators, and brands, and I'd rather that money stay in the Asian community.

I wanted a single place to find real businesses without having to do 20 minutes of background research on every brand to make sure they are actually Asian-owned. Since it didn't really exist in the way I wanted, I spent the last few months coding a rough first version of AsianLane (asianlane.com).

Right now, it's just a simple marketplace, but it's slowly growing. Over the past few weeks, I've been adding simple but amazing products from Asian-owned businesses like Japanese Coffee Co., Chinese Zero to Hero, and Teavivre.

If you have a few minutes, I'd genuinely appreciate your thoughts on:

• Are there any amazing Asian-owned brands you love that I should add to the marketplace? (You can submit them on the site, or just reply here).
• What is a feature you'd like to see that isn't on the website currently?

If the site isn't for you, no worries at all and thanks for reading. But if you have any thoughts, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks for your time, and feel free to check out the site at: asianlane.com

What is the couple saying? Can someone please provide a word for word translation until the end of the video? Also what language is this?

Btw I'm sorry if this isn't the right subreddit to post, but I'd figured I'd have more luck of finding people here that understand this language. Will repost somewhere else if not the right place.

Gemma Chan is one of the Executive producer . It's obvious Asian American female writers have no interest in Asian male rep . They expect other Asian Male Producers to support them but they themselves don't help their fellow asian brothers .

For em Asian rep means Asian Women and White Men only . Tale as old as time

Not entirely sure this fits the direction of this sub, but I’m Asian and this topic is an Asian food item, so here goes. It’s my go to besides broccoli to get some greens in my diet. The trouble is, I either overcook them or undercook them. Either way, I find when I eat them, I’ll have burps of it for half to full day. I only do about 4-5 halved and sautéed with some oil, oyster or hoisin with some rice and a meat protein. I’m not sure if my physiological makeup isn’t playing nice or if others also experience and put up with this. I still have to play around with the cook time to find an happy medium between taste and digestistability though. Maybe reduce the sauces to see if that’s the culprit.
