chw42 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 14, 2012 -> 08:45 PM) I don't believe that Taiwanese people eat sushi. Neither do Fillipinos. But Floyd Mayweather didn't know the difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Yes he is from California. He may eat sushi; however, his family's cultural and ethnic history does not include Japanese food (to my knowledge.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunofgold Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Wow, Lin and the Knicks are on fire. And I see that there next games are at home against Sacramento, then New Orleans. As long as they don't have a let down, they should win those two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 lol I understand he was born in the US. Its just that Nintendo is Japanese, which is neither Taiwan nor China. As for China vs Taiwan, its ridiculously complicated as technically Taiwan is the Republic of China (not the People's Republic) and therefore there is an argument that he may identify his heritage as Chinese. Regardless many of the nicknames, sayings are not really applicable to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Most Asian Americans love sushi. I mean who doesn't? It seems Mayweather has a thing up his ass about Asians as he continues to call them out. So for Lin, it has been, what, six games now? Are we still talking about sample size? And apparently he's pretty clutch as well. This kid's got talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Of all people seriously? Imagine if you were good at basketball and people called you the Bosnian/Croatian Nightmare? Or would you care if people said "Who cares they are all the same?" I dont care about his race, I just also dont think all Asians are the same. Its 2 different things.

I dont care about his race, I just also dont think all Asians are the same. Its 2 different things. I'm saying it shouldn't be a topic of discussion at all. I don't care about his race either, and I also don't think everyone is saying all Asians are the same. You're nitpicking way too much. And calling me "The Bosnian Nightmare" is quite a bit different than calling him Super Lintendo. It's more about the pun than it is about what his ethnicity actually is. Jeez. If he cares about it enough, let him come out and say something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
