My Life Disoriented Clip #2 w/ Tamlyn Tomita and Dennis Dun

[sabre926]

Okay, somebody help me out here, what's up with the word 'twinkie'? I remember there was this one girl who was Chinese in my class, she got pissed when somebody called her that and nearly handed the dude who called her that his ass.

[blueplague888]

I think twinkie is kind of a derogatory term if you're half-Chinese and half-American. A friend of mine said that when somebody calls you twinkie it means 'yellow on the outside (skin), white in the middle' (because of American blood or something of that nature).

So if your classmate was half-American and half-Chinese then that's probably why she flipped: someone was making comments about her Chinese-American heritage.

Viva la Bakersfield! Looking forward to checking this out!

[ub00b]

This makes me cringe because I made the opposite move, from Bakersfield to San Francisco. Growing up asian in Bakersfield back then was NOT fun.

[vidpeon]

This looks really cool.

[gregfujita]

tamilyn looks better and better. she is such a great actress.

[yamjeff]

oh my god. this makes me cringe.. what asian american family talks like that? first of all, it;s usually not in english...

[deyegoroe]

What??? I've well over 30 cousins and we ALL speak English and in fact most of us by far ONLY speak English. Instead of being obtuse aout it, why don't you just get down to brass tacks: What exactly is your point, that is, outside of your not so well-hidden racist beliefs?

[dmsr69]

What a stupid, ignorant comment. Idiots like yourself have probably never paid attention in school to realize that there have been generations of Asian-Americans in the U.S. What Asian-American family talks like that? Try any Asian-American family living in Hawaii... or any 4th or 5th generation Chinese or Japanese family living in the U.S. You are an idiot.

[llds2006]

yamjeff! where you born yesterday or are you that stupid and arrogant and close minded! Asian American's speak very good english even better then some of us Non Asian Americans! You need to get your head outta your arse and stop being arrogant and stop fantasizing that all asian american family's dont speak english fluently

[yamjeff]

i LIVE in new york, and all chinese american families do not sound like that at all.. and the older generation speaks chinese while the young ones speak english. granted, this is a tv show so they can't do that and americans hate reading subtitles. i dunno. this show just doesn't do it for me.

[llds2006]

yamjeff what is your ethnic backround if you dont mind me asking? how are u going to from Asian American to Chinese American now with language and how they sound and then go into english subs and oh well if you and others and all I think that it gets to ppl because One person decides to do a tv series about AA family and now its being criticised now yam jeff if you dont like the way it looks then dont watch it nobody's forcing you to watch it!!!

[yamjeff]

it's another kick in the ass for asian american males i think. and another show that could increase americas fetish for asian girls. asian american families who speak entirely english (3rd generation) usually are so american that those chinese values that were embellished on the show doesnt even exist. they speak and act entirely american.

[yamjeff]

i grew up in an all white area and my parents were the first to move here and now i live in a more asian populated city (new york) so i know what im talking about. i've also visited LA, Boston, Texas, etc.. my step family are 3rd and 4th generation.. i've lived in hong kong, and china...etc..i think i have a very good understanding of what it means to be asian american.

[katstars902]

awesome!

[weezcake]

I'll be watching :)
