So, I called them Sunday, like I try and do every week. Y'know, because I'm a good grandson and whatnot. They asked about CrystalGemini, and I told them she began to celebrate Chinese New Year with her folks. That's when they said that their residential community also celebrate Chinese New Year at their clubhouse (it's mostly for old folks). The area has one Chinese couple, but they did not attend (and would most likely die if they did), so it was all white folks and one Japanese couple.
They were telling me how authentic it was. This, ladies and gentlemen, is their account of events:
- They first had a banquet of Chinese food, authentic by their standards, from won ton soup to beef and brocolli from some horribly named Chinese joint like Luk Kee Dragon.
- They had a boombox play Chinese music. Then (brace yourselves folks), Chinese people dressed as giant egg rolls came out and performed "authentic" Chinese dances.
- Then they had to write their New Year's wishes on origami things and pin them to the dancing Chinese people dressed as egg rolls.
- Then they went out for games and fesitivities, including one game where you tried to throw something at a target. If it hit, the person would be dunked in a giant tub of Sweet 'n Sour sauce.
- Then people in a dragon costume came out and they had to launch fireworks to appease the angry dragon so their wishes for the New Year would be answered.
I laughed at first, but was overall pretty appalled.
-
That's too funny to be offensive.
-
sounds like a blast. wish i could've gone.
-
If I had not just seen a 2-hour documentary on China I wouldn't have believed you.
-
2 things: I disbelieve the tub of sweet and sour sauce. That would be the nastiest thing ever.
Also, who the hell calls their grandparents once a week? I haven't talked to any of my family since lik Xmas.
I can only conclude that you are a nancy.
-
How can we be sure it was ACTUALLY sweet and sour sauce, though?
-
yeah, i actually REFUSE to call my grandparents. the good ones are too senile to chat, and the bad ones usually want to RAPE MY SOUL WITH THEIR MULTI-BARBED SPACE COCKS.
-
This certainly sounds like a tall tale...

They wouldn't lie. They said it was nasty and a couple of their neighborhood friends got dunked. It was one of those charity things. They had to pay money to play it.

I try and call all my family members at least one a week. Sometimes I let it slip to bi-weekly, but that's it. Why can't someone like their family?
As a result, I get the most swag out of all my cousins for Hannukah, Christmas and my birthday. If you wish to believe this is my ulterior motive, then so be it.

The grandparents in question are old and Jewish, and can give me a headache. I usually have a cutoff point or else it gets irritating.
-
why do you call them, then? mail them anthrax (TO ECHELON: LOL JOKE)
-
I should take my grandma to this place. She's japanese so she would enjoy laughing at the "chinese" people.
-
Because they're family. It makes their week when I call. I learned when my grandfather on my mom's side passed, that I was his favorite. And the reason why is that I was the only one who cared or listened to his stories. When you get older, you just want younger people to appreciate you. If fifteen minutes a Sunday makes them happy for a week, then I think that's well worth it.
Plus, I get more presents - eat it cousins!

It was just their residential area clubhouse that organized and threw the party. I have no idea where the money they spent on this event went to, though. Probably housing foundation fees?

Damn, Willco really *is* the sweetest boy on Evilbore.
-
:lol
-
but i don't wanna be their favorite! and i want to appreciate them with cyanide, which is illegal i think
-
That's not racist, its more uneducated stereotypical. They didn't have any ill intention.
-
also -- and yes i'm slow on the uptake, i just doubled my dose of sudafed -- what's so wrong with blackface?
-
I don't think it's illegal, Drinky.
Also, to elaborate, my family is really fractured and dysfunctional. I am pretty much the only person that speaks to all my relatives, which is ironic since I'm currently not on speaking terms with my own father (I have turned down a free meal and $60 in cash so I would not have to hang out with him). Currently, I feel like I'm the only thing keeping my family together, even if I shy away from certain things to keep it that. Like, my Aunt Ester doesn't know I'm involved with someone of both Christian and Chinese background. That'd probably kill her.

Yeah, they didn't do it out of hate. They sounded like they wanted a pat on the back for appreciating Chinese culture, even though it's pretty ignorant of them.

Tell us about your Father, Willco.
But use flirty emoticons.
-
I'm not going to get into a family therapy session. We're just not speaking right now. Or rather I am not speaking to him.
