An internet quiz with a leftist tilt
For your sunday morning entertainment, I will actually reply to this quiz. It's something about Asian American political awareness. It comes from Berkeley so keep that in mind as you see my really small score...
1. You own a BlackLava t-shirt. (+1 if you have the V. Chin shirt, +2 if you wear it to Asian American events.) -
Huh? What be that?
2. You own a spoken word CD. -
Does Dennis Leary count?
3. You are or once were a spoken word artist. (+1 If you performed in a skinny scarf and spaghetti strap tank top.) -
Uhhhhh. No. And I look funny in tank tops, let alone the spaghetti ones.
4. You hate Abercrombie & Fitch and dog on Asian Americans who wear it, even if they bought it pre-boycott. -
Nope. Wrong demographic. Why promote bad taste?
5. You think Yuri Kochiyama is totally rad! -
Who? An old leftist? Nah.
6. You own an autographed copy of “Better Luck Tomorrow.” -
Nope, but I plan to netflix it.
7. You have a poster of one or both of the following: 1. Che 2. Malcolm. -
NYET.
8. You HELLA think that San Francisco is the center of the universe and the APA Movement. -
Everyone knows that LA's the place. And I'm a San Francisco 3rd Gen. Native. As for an APA "movement", there ain't one, except for the deluded mini minds of the left because many of the groups that make up "APA" have different and conflicting agendas. The "APA Movement" was invented so some people could get free stuff from the Government.
9. You dyed your hair bright red at one point. -
Nope. That would look too weird.
10. You protest the Euro-centric, hegemonic, patriarchal, heterocentric, capitalist petty bourgeoisie of THE MAN. -
How many times did they read Mao's Little Red Book for that one? NYET.
11. You are a “brother” or “sister” of the “The People’s Movement.” -
Yeah, I have the "people's movement" about two hours after having mexican food. Serious fong-pei action.
12. Instead of saying “goodbye,” you say “peace”. -Don't forget the now, cool "bumping fists" thing. -
Well, I do the bumping fist thing but "peace"? Whose "peace"? Who is in charge? Leftists? In that case, I'll leave by saying "war, comrade".
13. You have a Xanga, are on Friendster, and were a part of Asian Avenue. -
Asian Avenue was entertaining but has been taken over by purile teenagers with no brains or capacity of independent thought and the leftists who lurk in the shadows who corrupt these kids, like a crack dealer. Got Friendster tho.
14. You write your Friendster testimonials in Spoken Word verse. -
I'm not a poet and I know it. Hey , that rhymes!
15. You AIM name includes the words “Angry” or “Asian” or “Yellow Brown Power.” -
How about Angry about the Left?
16. If you wear glasses, they must be the thick, plastic, black rimmed glasses to show the world how intellectual you really are. -
Dun need glasses except for sun.
17. You are an APA conference whore. -
Nope. Only the left wing is welcome there.
18. You cried the first time you heard “I Was Born with Two Tongues”.
Haven't seen it.
19. You majored in, minored in, or helped start Asian American Studies at your school. -
nope, although I took some classes.
20. You only listen to hip hop and only really enjoy Talib Kweli or Dead Prez. -
Nice. Just what ethnicity do you really want to be? If you really wannabe like them, you should drop out of school and beat up your girlfriends and then whine about how society "owes" you shit while you take a drag from your blunt. Nope.
21. You have read one, part or all of the following: The Autobiography of Malcolm X, Fast Food Nation, Stupid White Men, or anything by bell hooks. -
How about the Federalist Papers, Reagan's War and The Chinese in America? Wouldn't waste my cash on anything about that fat slob is connected with.
22. You’re so underground, you’re f****** magma. -
Only when it comes to black ops.
23. As you chain smoke, you intellectualize how nicotine is the tool of THE MAN. -
Well if you chain smoke, you ARE a sucker for da man. And a disgrace to the "APA movement" that has been bitching about big tobacco and it's targeting of ppl of color. But it you're talking about a Montecristo Eduardo, that's different.
24. Every time you watch TV or movies, your Asian-dar kicks in. (“Look! Asian woman’s arm in the back! WHAT WHAT!”) -
Hey, I think this my first "yes".
25. You mad dog Asian women with White boyfriends (minus 1 if you've ever had a White boyfriend/girlfriend; minus another 1 if you actually admit you had a White boyfriend/girlfriend, but you swear it was when you were really young and before you became down). -
Don't mad dog but notice it. And up in SF, you notice it A LOT. But in full disclosure, I've dated white girls as well as Asian.
26. You hate on AZN Asians as much as White people, if not more. -
AZN Asians are an embarassment. What exactly do you wanna be? Being Azn is NOT being African American!
27. You hate on Asian fraternities or sororities, but used to go those parties before you were down (minus one if you ever pledged an Asian house, minus two if you were a Little Sis). -
Hmm,
I did go to the parties. But I never hated them. Maybe the people who originally wrote this quiz were barred from the AGC for being too fugly so they went to the Greek houses that took them in because they were Asian and they were easy?
Total score pour moi: 3.
If you scored 21 or more:Congratulations, Poster Child de La Revolución. You’re so down, you’re abajo. After finishing your manifesto and reaping vegetables in your biosphere, we’ll see you at ECAASU 2005, fool.
11- 20:Poseur. What’s up, poser? Put down that copy of Audrey and read Asian Americans: The Movement and the Moment already. Practice raising your fist and looking hard in the mirror when no one's looking.
0 – 10: You’re a tool of THE MAN. Proceed immediately to San Francisco and get a picket sign already.
Rather be a tool of the man (me) than a tool (fool) of the left!
