What is the rite of passage to manhood for a young Australian male?
What are the hurdles in having an Asian face in a "Whitebread culture"?
Are you a virgin?
Damn. What an honor. Perhaps i can stop feeling insignificant now..yay.
thanks spud,
The rite of passage, nowadays is probably trying to get laid. however, other variants include: trying to get a job and move away from parents. Before it was either getting wasted or getting laid. IMO. Since I'm in a selective school, we don't really get into either. (damn single sex schools!)
Hurdles in having an asian face:
Going on camps as the only brown skin (nothing happens, but makes you feel odd)
Random misconceptions about religion and race surfacing. One guy did a tea dance with me, because he thought I was an indian.
Feeling sympathetic for those that have never had satay.
Trying not to seem like a nerd, in the face of non asian friends.
Expected not to know what pavlova is.
All people want to talk about is cricket and that seems to be the only thing they can find in common with me (at first glance)
And yes. Of course. I'm still young and have time. No need to rush it.
