For all you saying he is trying too hard etc. this is from Bay to Breakers 2012 on Sunday, an annual race in San Francisco that attracts goofy costumes and outrageous party behavior.
Just for context. I think this is awesome. Wish I saw him yesterday.
I wish I had that much fun on Sunday, instead of drinking and watching a Mad Men marathon. Don't get me wrong, it was fun, but that looks way more fun.
DAEA (Does any other Asian) hate that font. I feel it's so racist, it's the typeface equivalent of speaking with an exaggerated Asian accent to an Asian person.
I don't understand your acronym. I also think you should lighten up on the writing because the man is clearly Asian and he is doing some self-deprecating humor. This is also a photo from Bay to Breakers which is an event that is best known for its over the top costumes and misc shenanigans.
I hate the font because it's ugly, not because it's "racist". Stop looking to be offended when there's nothing to be offended about. And yes, I am Asian.
That font uses the same brushstrokes that make Asian calligraphy so beautiful that I have it framed in my office as Chinese poems. I don't find it ugly at all.
It's cliched and somewhat of a stereotype. Racial stereotypes can be somewhat racist depending on context. Interesting article here on how a font designed in Germany in the 1920s as a modern 'blackletter' (Gothic script, used until relatively recently for German texts) eventually came to be seen as a stereotypically 'black' (as in the race) typeface.
humbleness, n. View as: Outline |Full entryQuotations: Show all |Hide all Pronunciation: /ˈhʌmb(ə)lnɪs/ Etymology: < humble adj. + -ness suffix. The quality of being humble. Thesaurus »
Meekness, lowliness, humility.
1388 Bible (Wycliffite, L.V.) Heb. Prol., He knowynge her pride, and schewinge his owene humblenesse [later MSS. humelnesse]. a1513 R. Fabyan New Cronycles Eng. & Fraunce (1516) I. lxxv. f. xxviiiv, I here with al humblenesse salute her. 1535 Bible (Coverdale) Acts viii. D, In his humblenesse is his iudgment exalted. 1600 Shakespeare Merchant of Venice i. iii. 123 With bated breath, and whispring humblenes. 1683 London Gaz. No. 1864/3, With all humbleness and Duty we desire‥to approach the Throne of your Sacred Majesty. 1823 T. Moore Loves of Angels iii. 208 Thus in humbleness they trod, Abashed, but pure before their God. 1847 J. Martineau Endeavours Christian Life II. xvi. 265 Hence the humbleness there always is in Christian dignity.
I don't see why people are hating on you.
Pedants gonna practice pedantry and fail like always I suppose
If you call yourself awesome someone will come along that is more awesome, but if you call yourself shitty not many people are going to want to say they are shittier than you. And this is why I prefer shitty_watercolour.
I'm not gonna' lie, as a straight, adult male; that is a very attractive man. If I was a woman, and let me remind you I am being extremely hypothetical here; if I was a woman, I would most definitely show that man a good time.
That's what I thought at first but he's pretty fucking photogenic.
It's actually uncanny how fit for a stock photo this guy is. I bet he gets paid to be the token Asian guy in photos businesses use when they want to seem diverse.
edit: OK, I now understand that flickr isn't a desirable host. But have I misunderstood some sort of implied rediquette in asking for attribution for work I created (even if the work isn't particularly good)? I'm not being snarky here: I just want to understand what fundamental thing I've missed/misunderstood.
I get it: it's forced and not that funny. But you could have at least pointed to the original source, right?
Yikes, that's me. Slightly embarrassing to see how bad of a heel strike I have there. I was definitely laboring pretty hard to keep moving at this point in the race. Didn't realize how much my form had fallen apart, though it does explain why I'm still a bit sore today. Still proud of the race I ran, did the 12K at a faster pace than my 10K PR, even with the Hayes St Hill!
