>>585633I'm not sure if this is directed to nonnies from SEA or from US. I'm from Indo, not US, but I'm gonna answer this
>in a group, community or setting that is predominately east asian (like a Korean or Japanese supermarket or bookstore), do you feel like you are treated similarly to how the other east asians are treated,or do you feel like you are treated as a foreigner? There's a lot of Chinese descent where I live, most of my friends are Chinese as I grew up, I was treated similarly to how they're treated, even some of them mistook me for Chinese too (I always got told I look like Chinese and to some extent Japanese as I grew up & often got mistaken as one)
>do you find it easier to find east asian friends in comparison to friends from other cultures/races? I find it really easy bc where I live is predominantly Chinese, and tbh I prefer befriending them than the "natives" in my own country. They have different behaviour and mindset
>if you are learning an east Asian language, how has it been speaking that language with native speakers? do they notice that you aren't a native speaker? do you feel like they assume you are east Asian because you're able to speak that language?I learned Chinese, no they don't assume I'm Chinese because I told them beforehand that I'm not to explain why I'm not that good at Chinese lol
>do you adhere to east Asian beauty standards? do you purchase a lot of kbeauty goods or are influenced by Japanese beauty and fashion trends?Idk if I adhere to east asian beauty standard, I do purchase a lot of kbeauty goods
