Lingo that I've been taught:
Asian Americans.
Coconut: Brown on the outside. White on the inside.
Indian Americans.
Lychee: Brown on the outside. You try to be white, but you are really brown at the core.
Indian Americans who try too hard.
I aim to be a papaya:
Asian on the outside. Latin American/mestizo on the inside, with lots of African babies.
I love this entry. I am not trying to figure out what fruit I aim to be.
ReplyDeleteI'll go for Durian: no style and banned on public transportation in Singapore because of my odor! Hot no?
ReplyDeleteI tried to explain durian to a friend once and said that it is cross of banana, caramel, avocado, smelling like the strongest of blue cheese, in a sweet and non-fleeing way. Do you have a better (ie less long-winded) explanation?
ReplyDeleteDurian is like slightly fibrous banana cream pudding that has gone pleasurably rancid. What do you think?
