Asian immigrants to U.S. surpass Hispanics for first time

I was sketchy on the spelling on that. I think I tried Laocian and Laosian, and still neither felt right. Glad to know the spelling police are out.

It may seem like it, but it's actually right about 13%.

edit: Not the spelling police man, I thought it was interesting and actually made more sense with the "s" than the "t", that's all.

I think so too, but spell check said I was wrong both ways. Tried Laotian and BAM, no red line underneath.

it's lesb-i-a-n

You folks do realize that people from India are considered Asians as well. In my neck of the woods this is the group that is driving immigration.

So are they Chinese or Japanese?

This whitey is happy about Asian immigration. I'm fine with allowing literate, educated, skilled immigrants into the US. As the article pointed out, Asians tend to fit that profile. What we don't need is more illiterate, uneducated unskilled immigrants. There are enough illiterate, uneducated, unskilled people here already. We don't need to import more of them.

Agreed...people need to find out what makes them worthwhile. The Asians really have found their worth and use that success with no ego. Fucking Americans seem too proud or stupid to do certain jobs or industries.

Consequently, we have a huge number of dumbfucks trying to do jobs they are utterly not qualified for, just because they WANT to do that type of work. Our society does not say "NO" enough. We are enabling people with fake degrees that anyone can attain and are told "you can o anything you want" in school.

I have to agree with all of this...

"DONT give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses..."?

Using "oriental" for people does sound a bit odd but it does happen and I have never seen anyone get offended over it. I have even heard a Chinese girl use it in conversation to make clear she was talking about North Asians as opposed to sub-continent Asians. Maybe American Asians have just learned the all-American custom of getting offended over every little fucking thing whereas, out hear in the Orient, things are a bit more normal.

Asked an oriental girl about it today. She confirmed what Stunts said. She even added that some of the more sexy asian girls like to be classified as oriental. It sounds a bit mysterious, or something like that.

Oriental girls. very smooth skin. Very dark eyes.

Sorta like Negro?

All I know is that Korean tacos are as American as apple churros.

Looks Mexican to me.
