It's hilarious and will give you an unique lens for looking at Asians even if you are Asian. I wanted to share my favorite blog for the past three weeks.

I would say Orange County, but he mentions that white people don't like Republicans and Orange County is primarily Republican. I have a feeling that the observations have more to do with socio-economic makeup of the blogger's region than with actual ethnicity.

Be honest now, those analogies about similar sites with other races don't apply at all. Different ball park entirely. There is not an ounce of hate anywhere on that website. Ignorant preconceptions of minorities are largely caused by a simple lack of understanding and experience.
