STUFF ASIAN PEOPLE LIKE

Following up from my past post about Stuff White People Like', I thought it might be interesting to call attention to the many sites devoted to stuff (insert ethnicity/race here) people like.
Asians compose much of the world's population, so I thought it would only make sense to bring attention to Stuff Asian People Like.
Many of the things I feel are very true, like Purikura photos, bowl haircuts (totally Asian), boba, peace sign (duh, the ultimate pose for taking pictures), eye enlargement (it's only natural Asians have smaller eyes), white guys (our generation is increasingly contributing to this phenomenon), rice (of course), and staring at people (most of the time, it's true).
Many of the things that "Asian people like" are exclusively due to the cultural aspects of Asians (like slurping, academics, karaoke...etc), but much of the stuff mentioned here I feel are universally true, like anime, basketball, and fortune cookies.
But hey, more and more non-Asian people are increasingly interested in Asian stuff, so it's interesting to see new trends arise, especially the fascination with Japanese or Chinese culture.
Technology is ever-expanding, it's never static - always on the move to improve, and it's a huge part of how the world is becoming more culturally aware of trends and interests.

Anyway, support these folks at Stuff Asian People Like and you can also become active within their community by making suggestions, becoming a subscriber, and networking through Facebook.
AZN PRIDE...?
