We’re going broad with this one given the population and the size.
China: Stop trying to make the mandate of heaven happen. It’s not going to happen.
Japan: If you’re worried about population decline, maybe you should be less shitty to foreigners who want to live there.
Korea: Your music industry is uncomfortably close to slavery. And despite America’s best efforts, you still have the closest thing to a government owned by corporations.
Southeast Asia in general: I am sorry you are stuck being the Middle East of the Far East.
Addition to the above, since someone pointed out that my Korea comment appears to assume a South Korean default:
Best Korea: Your
musicindustry is uncomfortably close to slavery. And despite America’s best efforts, you still havethe closest thing toa governmentowned by corporations.
Flash-news.
Plastic is not biodegradable.
You work too much. Your work quality suffers because of it. Studies have shown the optimum amount of time to do serious mental work in a day is less than half of how much you all work since childhood cram schools.

You folks are just as racist, sexist, and bigoted as Oklahoma.
I wonder how the rates of violent crimes suffered by asians in Americas/Europe compare to violent crimes suffered by white people in China, Korea, or Japan…
remember when covid happened and asians were gettin jumped every week? when’s the last time we heard about a white guy getting beat up in Asia? maybe getting scammed/pick-pocketed in southeast asia or getting caned in Singapore during the Clinton era?
I’m not saying asian people don’t have bigotry or ignorance, but it plays out very differently
You’re not wrong, but that doesn’t mean racism doesn’t exist in Asia. When it comes to racism, two Wongs clearly don’t make a white.
corn does NOT belong on pizza
and corn isn’t street food
fuck corn
and corn isn’t street food
I disagree. Corn in Mexico definitely works as a street food. Also, I just realized this, but I wonder why corn didn’t pick up as street food in Chicago and Indianapolis.
I’ve definitely had street corn in Chicago.
It is when it’s elote.
Hard disagree. Pizza can have whatever you want. And corn is delicious it all forms.
Corn on those Asian buns though.
My hot take: saving face and thinking that winning by cheating is the same as winning are toxic culture traits
Clarify please

Keeping up appearances at all costs accumulates moral debt and leads to monumental failures down the line. Everyone knows the senile boss is about to make another mistake, but the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, so everyone shuts up until bankruptcy and suicides.
Lol are you not familiar with Asia / West Taiwan?
One might assume they aren’t, since they asked someone to clarify. How nice of you to laugh at them instead of answering the question.
Lol are you not familiar with Americans / Superiority Complexes?
Tell us about them, tell us how much better we are than you.
Um, I was just doing a copypasta replacement of the grandparent post.
I do not have not finalized my dissertation on The Complexities of the American Ego: An Examination of Ignorance Fueled Bravado.
I do believe that dissertation is just the song “America, FUCK YEAH!” Repeated on enough pages to make a
red-tailed hawkbald eagle screech when you flip the pages fast enough.
It’s OK to run a fan at night
Nice try Big Fan.
BREAD DOESN’T NEED TO BE SWEET. Please. Especially not cheese toast.
Asian here, I came in thinking there was nothing I could read that would hurt. Then, first comment.
I want sweet bread, what is it called 🥺
Cake
woah
It’s just called bread.
Live in Japan and seconded. It can be sweet, but making it all sweet is just missing out on so much.
Women are smart, capable, and equal.
Central and West Asians really aren’t ready to hear that.
neither are Yoon’s little fascist youth sadly
and apparently neither are the pissy korean american boys on Reddit too
I live in west Asia and I agree :3
Some of ya’ll are the most racist people and China is, like, the Texas of Asia. I think of people living in China the same way I think of people living in North Korea: How horrific, I wish them luck.
Also, WTF South Korea. All I hear is how sexist and fucked up you are. I don’t hear anything good about living there, and the fact that some of those cheabols haven’t been assassinated yet is beyond me.
About South Korea and bigotry - is it really worse than Japan?
Improving your driving license quality would save so much money by reducing worker deaths.
China is just West Taiwan. 🤷🏻♂️
West Taiwan: “Okay so you admit we are both part of the same country then? BEGIN THE
INVASIONUNIFICATION!”Of the mainland…
Finish the sentence.
A good thing that one of the parts controls all of its mainland’s land body.
Your curry sucks.
No, not that other Asian country’s curry. That one is really good.
YOUR curry sucks.
Why is it like that and way different from that other Asian country that tastes way better?

I went for the pictures of Japanese curry but spent most of the video thinking the narrator had an unexpected accent …… eventually, shit, that might be an American accent to her English
In a world where we think of climate change and national debt as Western worries, Asia’s dirtiness is enough of an absolute eco-hazard to warrant its own kind of debt if the rest of us thought the same way.
The same rivers Rama and Krishna bathed in could today kill you, and China has enough air pollution that the smog from Los Angeles blows over from there, more or less the same way sand from the Sahara fertilizes the Amazon.
Well. In some way classes exist. People in some of them don’t bother the smog around them, they’ll just walk in masks. They also get paid less. People in other ones do. They want cleaner air, good wages, plenty of affordable goods produced by the former group for its smaller wages with all the pollution.
When I talk things about how computers of 1999 were good enough, I mean that among other things.
China has enough air pollution that the smog from Los Angeles blows over from there
I think you meant to say:
“China has enough air pollution that the smog from there blows over to Los Angeles”Yes, sorry. Said that in reverse.
Too much smog in the air to think.
McDonald’s and fast food restaurants are looked down on in many western countries. Flexing you’re eating at McDonalds to westerners is like saying you don’t know what quality looks like.
the mcdonalds here in hong kong are fuckin sick compared to the ones i’ve been to in the US and Canada.
some of the juiciest fried chicken i’ve ever had, and the seasonal shaker fries are hella rad.
Well, in Russia both old McDonald’s and today’s pirate version are fine. Maybe too dry, it’s as if you needed a bucket of water to drink after eating such food.
I’ve heard Americans also despise Burger King, despite the laggy app and all, it’s very nice here.
McDonald’s only uses pink slime in the US. Other countries health standards require real food to be served. So that flex is actually understandable. Their McDonald’s is actually good and relatively healthy all things considered. I can’t imagine eating McDonald’s over there your entire life only to realize one vacation that your country has the superior fast food.
Mechanically separated meat is sold and served in Europe and Asia.
Idk about Asia, but I’ve been to McDonald’s in Germany and it tasted exactly the same as home.
When I briefly lived in China one of the first things expats would ask is if you’ve tried KFC yet. I don’t eat meat but almost every Westerner I met raved about how much better fast food is in china.
I used to get fast food fries occasionally in Australia, then stopped when I moved to the US cause the quality was much worse. I started again Taiwan.
Biggest cope in the past 10 years, here …hahaha
I can assure you is that all of the fast foods ive been to in europe, all tasted like shit. except for kfc and taco bell. Subway is the most egregious offender, 9 euro for a 15 cm sandwich is straight up theft. It wasnt even good, just the most mid turky sandwich ever
Subway in Europe does the veggie pattie and that is fire. Can’t find that automatically in non-Europe Subways.
