I Am Asian

I'm Korean and I feel like I can never live up to the expectations. When people in other countries think of Koreans, often they think of people who look perfect like the kpop idols, and I don't look the part.

I spent 4 years in the ROK, some of the best years of my life. Don't worry about expectations.

Koreans can be very fixated on looks... I'm sure it can't be easy. But you need to be comfortable with the way you look, and not care about their crazy standards.

Thats like the idiots who in the 40s thought all Japanese looked like Tojo. Pretty stupid

I know what you mean. I'm half white and half Arab and I never look like what they expect.

People who live under rocks and see comics that think they know the world

Asian families have higher expectations, it helps you be motivated but the stress and choked feel that it brings are harsh

Asian women surely make good wives though
