For once we agree. Asians try very hard to be the coolest or fit in perfectly. Specifically the young ones. I've never met an edgy asian kid, ever!
Notice how they don't rep their culture. They dress and act like white, black, or Latino people. It's wild to me that think they're cool. Chad Hugo is the coolest Asian ever and he's not even that cool. Lmao most people have no idea who he is. But everybody knows Pharrell.
Breh, none of this "swag"/coolness stuff we brag about has any bearings on power, wealth and economics in the modern world. Sad thing is most of us bragging about "swag" aren't even naive teenagers, we're more like 25 and up
no wonder we are in this position economically. While we were making fun of the Latinos for walking to work, or doing stuff like selling oranges, mowing lawns, or working 2 menial jobs living deep with family in one house, they were making moves and ignoring what we thought, 5-10 yrs later you hear nikkas like
where did all these Mexicans in construction one from? Where are all these Mexican plumbers and mechanics coming from? What's up with these Mexican grocery stores, laundromats, restaurants, bodegas etc popping up? While nikkas were laughing at them and saying "at least were doing better than somebody in america, at least we aren't as poor as the dusty mexicans" 'Dusty' ass Jose, Carlos, Juan, etc were plotting, learning trades on the low, pooling their resources together, etc now the samenikkas that used to laugh are complaining about them "taking" good paying construction jobs instead of just McDonalds cashier, complaining about them taking jobs that require you to be bilingual, wondering where they're getting the $ to open businesses, etc. In another 5-10 years,in addition to this, they will also own more plumbing, construction, trucking, etc companies as well not just restaurants, laundromats, stores, etc. I've already seen the growing numbers, mark my words.
I said yrs ago that Latinos as a group aren't going to just stop at being an orange salesman or janitor and not try to get into better fields and entrepreneurship. I said, they are going to practice group economics, and I was right, they are. As a whole, Alejandro and them don't care if you think his jeans and shoes are wack or if another man thinks he has "swag", they care about trying to advance their people economically.
This is especially true for the Asians. nikkas crack on Asians looks or "lack of swag", but they're the ones laughing all the way to the bank. Go to a random black area and most of the businesses owned there are by non black men. Asian men are extracting wealth from black communities all over the U.S, yet nikkas are in here saying "but they swagless though
" I guess this is a coping mechanism for nikkas. "Yeah they are doing better economically, but they don't have swag!"
I said it on here yesterday but it's a prime example of this stunted, teenager, immature mentality that a lot of 25+ black men have, where we care way too much about little boy shyt like rappers lives and mixtapes, athletes, $400 sneakers, clothes (not even suits but shyt like $300 jeans), other nikkas "swag", other nikkas hairline, BAKING pies like a bytch etc but care very little if at all about economics, entrepreneurship, trades, investments, stock market etc
Asians and other groups making money off of us not give a fukk about being viewed as cool, nikkas can call them "chinky eyes", "swagless", "ugly", skinny etc yall think they care about that shyt?
they don't and we as MEN shouldn't care about shyt like that either.
Being known nationally, no, GLOBALLY, as a consumer with "swag" is nothing to be proud of. The world doesnt run on "swag".
I rather us own businesses, property, etc than not own it puffing out our chests saying "well at least Im cool and got swag, my race is dependent upon other races for employment, resources, shelter etc I consume and don't produce anything but at least my outfit is fresh, peep the Balenciaga's
"
