Dude, Where’s My Reference Point?

oh jeezus ...

This isn`t about asian dudes any more than ``dude where`s my car`` was about white trash....

Stop taking movies so personally...and seriously...

``touche``?

Was that a comeback? Based on what scale of Wit?

Stuka, is it the rep politics or the chronic? Or maybe a bit of both?

``Why on earth would you aim your laser of boredom on an awesome movie like Harold and Kumar?

HAHA!! Touche. I loved that movie. Everyone else in the audience did too as well, judging from the roaring laughter amongst the theatre audience.

Why on earth would you aim your laser of boredom on an awesome movie like Harold and Kumar?
Regardless, your high school paper is utterly incomprehensible and pointless, not to mention unreadable.

Entertaing stuff but I have a feeling you can write better, but maybe it`s just me and my jufgment of what is has content and what is light fun.

Thank you to Chowk for putting this on the front page. I am glad to have contributed to a website that does what Chowk does.

This para was left out-and I think it is important. My point is not to sound anti semitic-but discerning about immigrant identifications vis a vis gender, class and political affiliation:



There are so many scenes like this, you begin to suspect that Harold and Kumar is less a film about racism and more about regenerating our own Asian American prejudices. After I checked the website for this movie, I found out that the film was written by a bunch of Jewish American guys, alumni of Rutgers University. On one hand, while the possibilities of such leaps of imagination and idenitification are exciting, the subtext could very well spell out the notion that Indian and Asian Americans are the “new Jewish” class-well educated, fiscally Republican and persecuted in suburbia. But I never much bought into that particular myth as representative of all Jewish Americans. And what interests me more is who doesn’t “belong” to these identifications

Tbhai,

Hmmm. I guess I`ve been uncloseted good and well. (blush)

Thanks for the welcome. Always nice to see a friendly face!
