    I know a girl that could be really good at this. Her name is Glenda Bautista. :D

    (Glenda, this is a test to see if you really DO read 8Asians. Or read the comments, anyway.)

    OK Ernie, you’re right. I totally went through this phase. That just reminded me of an angry poem that I wrote a long time ago about prostitutes in the Philippines during World War II.

    Why are curses, screams about acts of violence and shoving up a middle finger in the air defining features of strength?

    As Glenda pointed out, this is just a phase. They’re not “strong Asian women” because they stand on a stage and go postal. They’re just “angry Asian youth.”

    its not the DEFINING feature of strength, but is it not a quality?
    the ability to say “F*CK YOU” when a “F*CK YOU” is required??

    and I hope being angry at the marginalization of asian culture and language isnt JUST a phase… and if it is then i hope I stay stuck in that phase for the rest of my life….

    I’m with Akrypti on this one. To me, using profanity is an easy out and shows a lack of creativity and a lack of self control.

    ancient-one…self-control at a def jam poetry?! that’s boring! profanity in this case is used as a means to communicate their inner feelings. the artists are communicating their frustration. notice the crowds reaction when the girls used profanity in their poem it caused a reaction of compassion. IMO, the crowd can relate to their frustrations. if the artists didn’t use the same words and delivery, it wouldn’t be as effective. they are showing strength by getting up on stage in front of a TV and letting their emotions out. IMO, they are both – angry and strong.

    so, F**CK YEAH!, we need more asians like this.

    Every ethnic and racial group needs a variety of representatives to get the message out that marginalization and stereotyping is not okay. We need angry, foul-mouthed youths to snap us awake and draw attention. We need the savvy, politically minded to define and articulate the implications of marginalization and we need the poets and artists to provide depth and meaning to our community. Sometimes strength is a well voiced F**k You and other times it’s a 80 page research paper on the long term implications of unconscious bias on the careers of minorities. I’ve never had a “F the system” phase but that doesn’t make me any less of a change agent, and vice versa.

    I loved this. Unless you’ve been consistently victimized by all the crap these women are talking about (as I have all my life) you can’t understand the rage that builds up, and the catharsis this type of expression brings. I have a Master’s degree and an undergrad in English Lit so yeah you could write a sonnet but it doesn’t have the same impact to the audience this addresses.
