A community for Asian people around the world to share their cultures, news, life stories.

Rule 1: Follow all instance rules of piefed.social (where this community is hosted)

Rule 2: No bigotry, No xenophobia. It's okay to be against governments. It's not okay to be against people, it's not okay to make harmful generalizations against people based on their race/ethnicity.

Rule 3: Be on topic. Should be related to Asians or Asian culture in someway. Although this community is made for the Asian Diaspora, non-Asians are welcome and encouraged to ask questions; a disclaimer about this fact must go along with your post/comment

Rule 4: No fascists, No tankies, No authoritarians, or similar craziness.

Rule 5: Just be nice. It's simple.

Honestly I can't exactly think of any such thing.

I guess like... "Authentic" Chinese food? (whatever "authentic" even means lol). I mean... I think the common saying is that US Chinese Food are "Americanized" so its somehow not "authentic", but I don't exactly have much memories of it, so I can't say for sure as a first-hand account.

I think you moved to the US when you were very young so there probably isn't too much nostalgia yet.
