Dave's Basketball Diaries:


Today this white bitch decides to interrupt our basketball game.

Me, Tyson, Bammz, and Chimz. We were playin a really lax game. It was really hot out so even though it was a 2 on 2, nobody was playin for real. We barely kept track of scores. Then she walked onto the court. I saw it coming as chimz checked me the ball. Her in her ugly olive baby tee. This foo just walks up onto the court and starts to guard me with a big ole grin on her face. I'm like: uh...yes? (I ask incredulously). She's says she wants to play too. She says we can play THREE on TWO. Normally, I don't care. Especially when if it's a girl. And especially if she's young. Good for her she's a she. But she is definately not young. Definately a college student. A bold one at that.

What ran through my mind at that moment was: Hrm, I can be nice and let her play and show her asians are nice and can be fun.

Yes. That's it.

But then I thought: Wait. Everyone already knows asians are nice. Actually, the only fucking reason she decides to walk onto this court is because we are asians . Would she walk onto a court full of thugged out Hoks? (sorry, Hoks= black people). Would she walk onto a court full of white guys having a serious game?

I can't answer those. It would sound something like: No, and Maybe. (leaning towards No)

No. The reason she walked onto our court is cause we're asian and she thinks we're just gonna take it up the ass from her. PLEASE.
Don't disrespect ME. Don't walk onto MY court. During MY game. I don't give a shit if MY game wasn't serious. If we was just playin.
It's MINE. Don't disrespect ME.

For girls it might be hard to understand. They might read this and go: Dave, chill kid. She was just trying to be friendly. She didn't know any better.

You don't understand. You don't walk onto another man's court. Let me ask you: Would you ever do that? Probably not right?

So my response to her was: Go find another person and we'll play THREEs. But I ain't down with that THREE on TWO bs. This girl would not quit though, she kept goin at it. Dribbling my ball and shooting it.

Finally I was like: Do you know how rude it is to walk on in the middle of our game?
She said: Geez, I didn't know you guys would be so uptight.
I replied: Sorry, we're not as loose as you.

SO WHAT?
So what if she was honestly being a dumbarse?
Don't worry, there are plenty of nice, considerate, pushover, asian guys for her to meet in her lifetime. Trust me.
So I decided to stand up against one stupid girl.
I don't think I've given asian people a bad name.
I could have either perpetuated the stereotype, or squashed it.

You know me,
I'm all for breaking stereotypes.
