Does that mean they were acting white even when they were back home in their Asian majority countries? This reminds me of when people used to act so surprised when I tell them I'm not American...

That's how we "act" white. I also find it funny that Asian Americans make fun of FOBs but get angry when non-Asians make fun of FOBs. Asian Americans always act white by always having a superiority complex towards overseas Asians and “FOBs.”

That’s how we “act” white.

I also find it funny that Asian Americans make fun of FOBs but get angry when non-Asians make fun of FOBs.
