To My Anonymous Commenter

Good Morning Ladies,
  While normally I'm so happy to wake up, start my day by turning off my alarm, check emails, read your sweet comments from the night or morning and get ready for the gym.  That was not the case today.  No today I woke up having an asthma attack at 5am, so while giving myself a breathing treatment I read my emails.  I come across sweet comments left by two of my favorie bloggers, then notice I have an anonymous one, as I open it I was pretty sure it was spam.  Not the case.. here's what I see,

I'm not quite sure what you meant when you called using a tripod the "the ultimate Chinese thing to do". Sounds a little racist and ignorant to me.

Here's where I remind you that this is my blog where I can write whatever I want, but heres the thing Mr. or Mrs. Anonymous...

I'm half Chinese!

But I'm sorry did I need to tell you that? Oh wait I did, it's the only thing I mention in my About Me tab that tells you to read more about me and my family here in this post. I'm sure you also failed to look at that.  Maybe next time when you want to leave an anonymous comment telling me that I'm racist and ignorant because I said that I brought my tripod to take photos at my girlfriends birthday, saying it was the Ultimate Chinese thing to do.  Well for me and my family, it is.  

My mom has 6 siblings including herself, 1 sister and 4 brothers.  All of whom at family functions, break out a SLR, tripod, video camera and laptop because they love to take photos to document our lives.  Well that's where I say it's the ultimate Chinese thing to do.  When I go over my other side of the family who are German I don't see that, sure they have a camera or two but my Chinese family members are all about it.  For that I wouldn't change that for the world, because at my graduation, prom, birthdays, holidays, vacations whatever else I have a life long memory lasting in photographs and videos. 

Not to mention the fact that I'm a second generation family member to a Fong family, who's grandfather was detained at Angel Island for over 3 months while the American Soldiers integrated him and asked him millions of questions day after day as to why he wanted to come to America.  Want proof? We have all the documents and questions that they ask.  All of which I learned even more about in my Asian American Studies classes that I took while attending college, oh ya did I mention that I'm only about 8 credits away from having Asian American Studies as my minor? Or that I speak Cantonese? That I went to Chinese School for 5 summers while in grade school so I could learn more about my culture apart from what I already learn from my Gong Gong (That's grandpa for the daughter's children, yes that's right if your a son of the parents you call them Ye Ye) and Po Po (Grandma for the daughter's children).

I don't have to continue on about how Chinese I am and how ignorant or racist you now sound because like so many in my life, I've been in the situation where I have people talking about Chinese or Asian American's in front of my face, which you wouldn't believe the degree to which some people talk about us, all the while I know to myself they think "Oh well there's no Asian's or Chinese in the room so I can talk about this", well sorry to tell you, your looking at a blond haired, hazel eyed girl who is half Chinese and loves every part about it.

Sorry to all of you sweet girls who leave me such nice comments and know because you've read my blog that I'm a Happa Girl because this isn't directed to you, this is directed to the Anonymous person who wants to try to call me a racist and ignorant person for using Chinese in that term.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program I'll be posting something "normal" aka not venting and basically telling someone off in a little bit.
