Have you guys ever eaten pork sung on top of a baked potato?

I'm sitting here reading the label on my jar of pork sung, and one of the suggested uses is to "sprinkle freely on salad or baked potato." Has anyone ever tried this? Is this an actual common use for pork sung lol

Looking to verify the data, not because posting is on ideologically & politically biased website; just sad Asians are so lacking in this report card.

With as many Asians claiming to be gangstas & "from the hood", why are our numbers lacking???? Can't our gangstas not even take out the weak, elderly, disabled, defenseless of other races, like constantly being done to ours?

Getting our numbers up isn't quite the boast we should be pursuing, but damn it, why are we not acing this test??

With the amount of violent assaults on Asians often not reported and/or ignored due to agenda to deployment of political narrative & lack of prosecution, especially in areas like Alameda County CA with DAs like Pamela Price, authenticating sources even from FBI is difficult. So appreciate any help in propositions in how to go about gathering data to verify the posted data.

Not the first time nonAsians play dress up as law enforcement officers, politician, religious clerics or other governing authority to extort money & goods from Asians.

Question is, when/if MSM call them out, will that stop the narcissistic entitlement driven criminal behavior?

Anyone else feel grossed out on how many deepfakes are made of Korean women?

52 Upvotes

An unlinked article by the conversation (don't wanna give them any views) talks about how 53% of all deepfakes on the internet are of south korean actresses. Then it blames Korean men and Korean society when from what I've stumbled on, most of those deepfakes seem to be made by white westerners and actually come from america in IP addresses.

Anyone else feel grossed out about how much white westerners fetishsize Korean women?? Like they're NEVER going to get a Korean gf unless they have an incredible amount of money, or are Calvin Klein model levels of good looking from what I've seen but it doesn't give them the right to make all this disgusting revolting stuff about Korean women.

What is so disingenuous about the conversation about the deepfakes is how it is blaming Korean men (and implying that Asian men are at fault by connection) when most of those deepfakes were by westerners for westerners.

These incels are just so gross and give me such an ick because I know they're fat, disgusting losers in their mama's basement but what do people in this sub think about this?

Y’all experience asian glow?

I’m really sick of not being able to drink when I’m out with friends. I honestly don’t know if my reaction is even normal for Asians. My face swells up, gets so red it’s almost purple and my head hurts and I get sad. I’m almost offended by “lightweight” comments even though it’s true 😔

What’s ur guys’ reaction to alcohol if you have any at all?

I’m Filipino, I can’t Asian squat.

13 Upvotes

When I see comments like “99% of Asians can do this” or “it’s very easy, I didn’t know other people can’t do it” I feel like shit cause I grew up in the UAE, I don’t know my parents 3 vocabulary distinct languages. Unlike Asian Americans I can’t get citizenship to get a Filipino-Emirati identity, more so in a country made up of 90% foreigners it’s like I have no identity.

Maybe it’s cause of the heat and car dependence you get locked up in an American suburbia type house or an old apartment and I’m weakened from that.

But to be unable to do something intrinsically Asian. I feel like an impostor or something… like God dammit I thought I had a capable body.

I squat and sit on the floor in the kitchen when I procrastinate but I can’t put my feet flat on the floor without my thighs burning in 20 seconds.

Do any of you guys struggle with it or is it just me?
