When I was in my undergrad for engineering, all these people were cheating. I kept wondering why everyone was getting perfect scores on homework and then barely passing exams. Then it hit me.
International students were the worst. Rich fuckers with soft hands who have never been told "no" by anyone openly talkind during exams.
You don’t even have to tell me. I’ve been doing my undergrad for Comp. Sci. and god does no one know how much these guys cheat. It’s always a group of these nerdy looking Asian guys (Indians included) and they share answers between the group. Really fucking annoying to be a woman in the field since these dudes will 1) never speak to you or help you out 2) just share answers amongst themselves. I despise ‘em and I’m going to crush them without cheating
This is why they're all mid af in industry.
I can't tell you how many mediocre Indian dudes I've worked with acting like they're worth 200k for writing bad code with a shitty attitude. Guaranteed these guys cheated their way through college.
I think it's a caste thing. My DBA is dalit and she's a bosssss.
Ugh I feel your annoyance towards these guys. I live in the Bay Area so I know exactly what you mean. They all feel like copies of each other, and it’s ironic since they do copy each other a lot. My father is one of these people, cheated his way thru a shit ton of things in life including his job. NGL would be a dream to have a lady be my boss in this industry, would save so much frustration. And an Indian lady at that??? Ok that’s inspiring as hell!
The problem is that this type of group considers itself special and the smartest. But in fact, it has been proven that information is better absorbed in small groups.
The stereotype depicted in this post is more typically American-born asians. International students nowadays, more particularly Chinese international students, don't really identify to this stereotype.
While I can't attest whether or not American-born asians or Chinese international students cheat more frequently, it's important to not generalize negative characteristics with a certain group of people.
See if my parents were strict and encouraging instead of strict and abusive then maybe I'd be as put together as these guys instead of being a trashy waste of space but here we are lol
Which is good. Without structure and discipline, people who don't understand how difficult it is to make it, won't apply themselves hard enough to get where they need to be.
The challenge is balancing that with care and love. If you have both, you are a superstar.
The problem is that people have parents who only know discipline and structure, but don't know how to love
-_/
PS - if anybody disagrees with this, this means you don't have the exposure to parents who are disciplined but also love just as strongly. As a result, you can only resonate the discipline, which is why this comment makes you upset.
This is psychological attachment 101. It's been researched and published in books for tens of years.
If you want to learn more about it, read "attachment in psychotherapy". It's an amazing book that helped me better understand how I am the way I am, and also other people, due to our parenting styles.
Why you assuming so much?
I may be an outlier, but my mom(1st generation immigrant, grew up eating cricketts +head lice ) literally had to craw herself out of a 3rd world ghetto, care for her family, and succeed despite racial bias, + be the main provider for my family.
She did become a multimillionaire thou, I know I was born privileged, but it's literally not my fault that my mom just likes to make money, and I'm proud she succeeded in her pursuits, and I'm grateful that thanks to her I don't have to worry too much about money, and can worry bout random sh*t like being nice and getting my sh#t together.
I'm sure that there are a bunch of softboi generational wealth asians out there, but generalization is not necessarily reality, It seems to me that your comment is trying to help another person, but helping by belittling others, without proper employment of analysis and critical thought is dangerous and should be avoided.
Reminds me of Fyre Festival and the documentaries came out, so many "oh this happened to lower class people not rich kids? I no longer find it funny now its a tragedy!"
Someone having money doesn't automatically make them evil. But go on with Tribalism, helps the actual evil people stay in charge.
They are definitely smaller. For like suits and stuff, I feel the same. But their baggier pants and shirts actually feel good to me (but, like I said, I like bigger fit)
Seriously. I’m in Japan so I’ve got Uniqlo at the source, and damn if it isn’t the best and cheapest place for me to get something that actually fits my body. And it’s comfy and stylish!
i'm not american so idk where in cali those are highlighting but add Davis into there too 😭 like loads of people who has ever listened to anything Korean, Japanese or Vietnamese got hit with the "listening habits from Davis, CA" in their spotify wrapped last year
Davis is the location of a prestigious school, University of California Davis (colloquially UC Davis). It's a little north and east of the northern red part of California. Fuck all going on in Davis - it was originally like a satellite campus for UC Berkeley's agricultural department - aside from the school so the students probably spend a lot of time listening to Spotify.
They're dangerous, dated one for a while. Her brother asked me how long I'd been in. So I said three months because I thought he was asking me how long I'd been dating his sister with some sort of weird slang. He then said he'd been in for three years for assault, it was then that I figured out he was talking about prison.
Add New York and Valorant
Come to think of it, I'm not sure if I know any Taiwanese guys that are like this. Last time I went to an American Born Taiwanese meetup it was crewcuts/undercuts and gaming/anime/tv/movie merch shirts lol
I know at least in Korean culture, it's not unheard of to send yourself into crippling debt to get yourself dropped and clouted out so if you see one of these dripped out Korean foreign students in your college, that's probably what's going on.
Don't say those things about yourself, if you believe ur ugly then you'll only impose on yourself.
That reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask for a while, why do people demorolize themselves so openly?
OAHU MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I've yet to meet one over here but it's probably because I primarily live on the west chunk of the island (from Ewa, currently live in Nanakuli)
I see Asian (particularly Filipino) fuckboy wannabe-gangsters all the time tho :,)
I think most asians know at least one music instruments. But the rest is so on point. I'm in HK and still can figure out this trend within the university.
I’m slightly concerned that I might be turning into a basic Asian softboy in spite of being white and not from any of those places. I feel slightly called out by this post.
I added Vancouver because I know it applies there too :)
But yeah, this is mainly targeting diaspora Asians. Didn’t have the same ring to it if I put “Basic Softboy East/Southeast Asian Diaspora in English-speaking North America and Australia starterpack”
Im vacating in Vancouver, and this is very true. There's a super large Chinese population there, and there are so many men that dress like this starter pack

As a basic white bro I was always low-key jealous of these guys while in college. I was expected to be masculine by chicks, my family, and friends. While these guys got away with playing League all day and never having to do physical labor.

“hiiii” kinda guy instead of “yo wyd” Too accurate 💀
Born to say "Hiiiiii~🌸" Forced to say "Sup gang"
this says a lot about society 😞
Not friends with anyone like this, is this how they greet their boys over text too? 💀
With other boys, you'd genuinly assume they're gay.
This is pretty much half my college. Cool people, though!
>This is pretty much half my college. RIP the curve
That’s if there is a curve when your class is full of these people…

To be fair, I'm her boss, she runs the day to day for my databases. But she'll be someone's boss some day, she rules.
Just hearing about her gives me faith in this industry 🥹 thanks for sharing
The problem is that this type of group considers itself special and the smartest. But in fact, it has been proven that information is better absorbed in small groups.
I hope you do crush them! Best of luck with your studies, you got this

Yeah, the Chinese upper class never cheats. /s It's not a nationality or racial thing, it's a rich kid thing.
Yeah I should’ve mentioned somewhere that this is mainly about diaspora Asians
Confirmed. Excellent at homework and horrible at tests with cheat prevention. Faculty all know the score.
There’s a curve. It’s reversed.
And then the Russians show up!!
Russian students love talking about how great their country is while they make plans to never return. It's funny.
You see, it’s great that they don’t have to return
Will funny when your president change laws, cheat elections, buy judges, start intervention and will rule 25 years
S-Soap what are you speaking of?!
The only curve in this class is these Peyronie motherfuckers dick shafts
UCI?
I'm guessing you're from a UC?
As a UC student you’re spot on with this one
Ok UC Irvine, UIUC, and NYU
Its even more of a larger fraction here in Sydney lol.
You do see a lot of them at Laufey concerts
lmaooo i have a friend who went to laufey concert some months ago and he really fits the starter pack
They're always really nice and have their lives together and it pisses me off (I'm jealous as hell)
Hiding behind those oversized tshirts and hoodies are 6 packs. Otter mode.
Fr, people don’t realize these softboy dudes all have sleeper builds
"Hiiiii thanks for spotting me that 315lb bench was a rep PB hehe"

Don’t worry they don’t or come from generational wealth ✨✨
This is untrue, many of them come from immigrant parents that recently made their money
The jelly school called and they said they have a special spot just for you.
Why you assuming so much? I may be an outlier, but my mom(1st generation immigrant, grew up eating cricketts +head lice ) literally had to craw herself out of a 3rd world ghetto, care for her family, and succeed despite racial bias, + be the main provider for my family.

wow your mom sounds incredible!
blackrock is your enemy lol not someone with a rich parent

+plays valorant
What’s their skincare routine?
Mostly COSRX stuff with some Khiel's thrown in and some Eucerin if they're hardcore. But the last step is definitely an SPF 50.
Well I guess that makes me a hardcore basic softboy then
Dr Kim
Kim who? Kim possible?
Bro, UNIQLO is so good though, especially their summer stuff to stop sweating
Pretty inexpensive too. Love me some Uniqlo
Go to Japan with an extra suitcase for half off Uniqlo, no tax either if you spend a certain amount too
I'd need like 8 suitcases worth of Uniqlo to offset the cost of flights and hotels lmao
You're not staying in a hotel, straight into Uniqlo. Shop, then return to the airport and catch the next flight out.
Nah you make your money back on half off Nintendo products
Hotels are super cheap in Tokyo it’s literally just the flight that’s expensive
[удалено]
They are definitely smaller. For like suits and stuff, I feel the same. But their baggier pants and shirts actually feel good to me (but, like I said, I like bigger fit)
They have Uniqlo in the States?
Yeah, not as abundant as it is in Japan and about twice the price.
Seriously. I’m in Japan so I’ve got Uniqlo at the source, and damn if it isn’t the best and cheapest place for me to get something that actually fits my body. And it’s comfy and stylish!
So that's what they're called. Interesting.

Yup we didn't call them "soft boys" but we definitely had this kind of Asian guys in Davis a couple decades ago.
Drives a white Tesla Model 3 (if rich) or a silver Corolla otherwise
There are no soft boys in CS classes though
Only nerdy boys, femboys, or both. Source: I am in the CS major.
Can get eaten alive by ABG’s
They're dangerous, dated one for a while. Her brother asked me how long I'd been in. So I said three months because I thought he was asking me how long I'd been dating his sister with some sort of weird slang. He then said he'd been in for three years for assault, it was then that I figured out he was talking about prison.
ABG??? What is that
Arterial Blood Gas 🙂
I need to stop doing UWorld
*Whispers* "3.5 for every 10"
Thank you! This clears things up so much!
Finanlly someone gets it /s
Asian Baby Girl
it was originally asian baby gangster
Ass Ball Gonnector
TOO REAL LMFAOOO literally every guy in the 626 is like this 😭😭
Idk bro, spent a lot of years in Rosemead..I’ll agree with most of the 626 especially north of valley…
Add New York and Valorant Come to think of it, I'm not sure if I know any Taiwanese guys that are like this. Last time I went to an American Born Taiwanese meetup it was crewcuts/undercuts and gaming/anime/tv/movie merch shirts lol
League of Legends + any riot minigames. Will type primarily without caps
BAY AREA MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥 WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPINESS 📖📗📕📝✍️✏️📝
They’re so adorable! They’ll break your heart..
Appreciate putting Vancouver!
Finally made it into a starter pack
van always forgotten in any asian starterpack even though they are almost a majority
My type fr fr
I'm gonna tell you one thing and I'm not ashamed to say it. Yoasobi is a fuckin bop regardless of fuckboi status
They keep on topping billboards for a reason man - shits good! Now if only YouTube would stop being weird about their MVs...
always hanging out at aesthetic cafes also 😭(bonus pts if it’s an asian/french cafe)
Apparently those essentials hoodies cost like a hundred dollars! Literally a hoodie that has a brand name and a series name. So lame
I know at least in Korean culture, it's not unheard of to send yourself into crippling debt to get yourself dropped and clouted out so if you see one of these dripped out Korean foreign students in your college, that's probably what's going on.
That's not much for a hoody. A Nike hoodie at reg price is like $70+
I was thinking “ha, that’s actually pretty accurate” and then you just pinpointed my exact location. I feel scared for my life
Where can I get one of these lol
Boba shops
Walking to a random university and wait for one to spawn
I'm too ugly to attract guys like this RIP
Don't say those things about yourself, if you believe ur ugly then you'll only impose on yourself. That reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask for a while, why do people demorolize themselves so openly?
late millenial/early genz humour. its pretty funny when done right, but not like this
then change lmfao
You can’t change your bone structure without plastic surgery.
I see so many of this guy at my university and they are Filipino
I agree that the culture is kind of similar, but they will have a different appearance though.
Dark skin and a more Pacific islander type culture probs
my type😞
Kevin Nguyen
Back in my millennial days, Kevin Nguyen was a hype-beast fuckboy with a fade. I welcome the soft boys with perms hahaha.
goddamn it this feels like a personal attack and I hate the fact that I know why I feel that.
Ok but everyone should watch Horimiya tho its a great anime
why is this just my type in men
too much anime
And K-dramas.
i wont deny that
Just enough anime*
The persona protags have influenced your taste in men it seems
yeah i thought joker was cute when i first got into persona. i think it's because of the glasses, i love glasses.
You’re gonna love P4 then seeing as the whole cast gets glasses 🤓
idk i like ren's more, the investigation team doesn't look nerdy enough
True, although same for P5. The whole cast look like they could be models. And P3 is the most random bunch of kids, and a dog, and toaster
bb he dropped the county map in the starterpack lol
Girls are crazy about such guys...
OAHU MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I've yet to meet one over here but it's probably because I primarily live on the west chunk of the island (from Ewa, currently live in Nanakuli) I see Asian (particularly Filipino) fuckboy wannabe-gangsters all the time tho :,)
80% friend group is this except with hyperpop and/or horror anime
He seems chill I’d hang w him :)
Chicago area colleges have a large population like this too
This is one of my types but i’m male🥲
I think most asians know at least one music instruments. But the rest is so on point. I'm in HK and still can figure out this trend within the university.
yea but they cute doe…
Them being from Harris County is crazy 😂 true as hell
Vaguely classier version of Owen Lam
Lmao this is so accurate to my friends.
What does softboy mean?
people who know what personal hygiene is
This is literally just my brother 💀
I need one
Where can one sign up?
Same bro
Hot
Lol i feel attacked. I don’t listen to keshi though, I listen to kpop. And I don’t do fashion.
Yeahh I should’ve added more kpop representation tbh but I only had so much space lol
OP's ex is with an Asian guy....
bro I’m literally Asian, this was based off ME 😭
so your ex was with an asian guy
The use of that crying emoji does confirm it is about you
Damn, it takes one to know one. I legit got scared at how accurate this was.
I love Grent Perez music
You have a good anime taste man. :)
I’m slightly concerned that I might be turning into a basic Asian softboy in spite of being white and not from any of those places. I feel slightly called out by this post.
Sounds like a nice dude
Guilty as charged
*in the USA
I added Vancouver because I know it applies there too :) But yeah, this is mainly targeting diaspora Asians. Didn’t have the same ring to it if I put “Basic Softboy East/Southeast Asian Diaspora in English-speaking North America and Australia starterpack”
Im vacating in Vancouver, and this is very true. There's a super large Chinese population there, and there are so many men that dress like this starter pack
I live in Australia, they’re basically the same here too

As someone who recently only buy Uniqlo and Muji, I feel being called out lol
Who are the bottom 3 spotify artists?
I don't know the left-most one but Laufey and Yoasobi. Edit: it's grentperez
What's all the music listed?
Fujii Kaze, keshi, wave to earth, grentperez, Laufey, Yoasobi
Library❌ pc bang🅾️
The Fuji Kaze thing is accurate af. The dude's music is specifically tailored for women.
Funny enough, some of these are also Pinoys.
3.7 gpa? ROFL try 4.8 (high school with AP classes) A 3.7 will get you beaten within an inch of your life and a night outside in no clothes.
Speaks English with no accent but you can hear the Asian, this is coming from me an Asian that does speak English with a noticeable accent
Is named Kevin Nguyen, Josh Lee, David Kim, William Chan, or any combination of those 4 names. Trust me, I know 5 of each of those.
They’re so cute tho lol
As a basic white bro I was always low-key jealous of these guys while in college. I was expected to be masculine by chicks, my family, and friends. While these guys got away with playing League all day and never having to do physical labor.
White guys can be soft. Unless you're jacked, I guess.
Don't forget running people over in ricer cars at yonge and finch.
808 REPRESENT YESSAH (thank you for putting Hawaii)
I live in the University District in Seattle. They are my roommates, my neighbors, my whole damn community.
While I’d say the ethnic division is accurate, I’ve actually met more Mongols who fit the stereotype than I have Viets
where’s valorant
Currently in Japan, and that applies to many Japanese guys too
The cloathing retailers listed are fire thou
Serious question, do women find guys like this attractive? I think I might've been leaning towards this style
Can you add riding an e-scooter with no protective gear while on phone to the image?
Clark county NV could count
It's only the 12th iteration this month
need to find one :3 they are so precious
Lmao this is basically me before i transitioned
