Asian Achievement Week at the University of Saskatchewan;
You can participate in this very special week by attending any class taught by an Asian professor or by raising relevant and non-relevant Asian issues (such as the evolution of DDR) in your classes (regardless of their subjects), being EXTRA proud of being Asian, perhaps by asking out that shy asian girl from class, or just high-fiving some asian dude in the Arts Tunnel.
I found the Facebook post hilarious when I first read it and joined about two weeks ago. I find many of the comments here hilarious, too. It’s a joke, folks, a tongue in cheek bit of sarcasm showing that all too rare ability to laugh at one’s self and one’s own racial stereotypes. I had expected more insightful comments from the Rodent Nation, and I wish we had more University students with a predisposition to not take themselves too seriously, or to use intelligent humour to make a point. And by the way, DDR is Dance Dance Revolution.
They should have a “hug a Islamist day” . See how that goes.
Tired of these race baiters pretending care.
It’s a parody. Thanks to those of you who made informed comments, or at least those who understand the concept of sarcasm.
If by Asian Achievement Week you mean a Choi Min-Sik movie marathon, then play on. Give me excess of it.
I love it, Michael. Great work
Here at the GoC, Asian Heritage Week is all too real. Too easy for me to miss the joke. Also Black History Month (shouldn’t that be ‘African-Canadian’ History Month?), Aboriginal Awareness Week, Women’s Week (or month, I don’t remember). We get tacky stands in our lobby where we guilt-ridden whites get to buy their beads, eat crappy food and be berated by guest speakers. So much fun.
The cultural and moral arrogance from these shallow little elitist quislings is absolutely toxic.
What in the hell makes these stuck up little twits think that Asian people even need their shallow superficial moral support? I think Asian people are fully capable of doing just fine on their own without the fawning sycophancy of Milquetoast liberal larvae.
Careful Redux, you wouldn’t want to pop a blood vessel on your forehead.
This is kind of a new thing for me. I’ve never been called an ‘elitist quisling’. Thanks for that.
