July 17, 2010 at 3:17 PMGood point. It depends on the place. In my suburb, English would definitely be best.

July 17, 2010 at 2:38 PMI think he means Japanese American.
I pretty much agree with byronmeinerth (and at this point I'm not talking specifically to Changye). I don't think that what he is saying is that people will feel upset about being confused for being Chinese. They will be upset when people don't assume they are Americans, and I would be too. (Currently, this is a particularly sensitive issue for Latino Americans.) I don't know if I would call it discrimination, but insensitive would certainly come to mind. Nobody wants to be treated like a foreigner in their own land.

July 16, 2010 at 1:41 AMGot a question，怎么说get a tattoo？
听说如果中国人想参军，绝对禁止有纹身，中国政府认为纹身指着反叛态度。可是，对美军来说，纹身可以算是一种“过渡仪式”，没有纹身意味着没有战友感，而且没有男子汉的气概。我特别喜欢传统的海军纹身，比如说粗糙画的船锚和18世界的快速帆船。

我也不太清楚，可是我觉得“都是”有absolutely everywhere的意思。

July 15, 2010 at 2:50 PMAt any rate, I'm sure some sports are somehow better than others, but we shouldn't forget why the majority of us like the sports we do, and that's because it is popular in our social circles. In the end, they are all friendly competition wrapped up in different forms.

July 18, 2010 at 5:07 AMThe point is, minorities in America sometimes feel like they are treated like outsiders. Not addressing them in English compounds this.
