2nd gen Vietnamese born in Canada when they grow up they realize they also need the opposite gender who is also 2nd gen Vietnamese born in Canada. The opposite will give them sanctuary. A place to rest your head and scabbed rough feet.

So life in Canada especially in Oshawa was external.
I bounced back and forth between Scarborough and Oshawa thinking I could have a store clerk job in some ethnic grocer.
Did I finally accept to code for the rest of my life???
…
Why working is so enticing as an Asian.
As an Asian, I thought the lifestyles of modern day East Asians are great. But in reality I can not get access to current East Asian networks because of whatever reasons.
Then I realize because I am old as farts (I am born in 1984 so I am a millennial), the old ways of life from the 1950s – 1970s take lead.
Back then, East Asia was still not developed. East Asians got help from Europeans and America to build their country and mindset. They bought Western teachers to teach them and travelled to the West to learn.
Even Chinese had their own PCs built and researched in the Americas in the 1950s.
What does that tell you? Transistors and basic knowledge of computer building started in the 1950’s range in the West and is not controlled or culturally associated with East Asians in Japan and Taiwan.
If you want to learn transistors from the start, just learn now in your location.
Overtime East Asians like Taiwan got associated with chip fabs.
But in reality it started in the Americas. The basic building blocks are here.
So to disassociate yourself and study well is to just study in your spot. Disregard cultural and racial associations. That is the truly bad thing about Asians. They bonded their multinational companies to their race.
Just because some East Asian companies have large multinational companies, other Asians praise them.
But they started in the West and got supported by teachers from the West.
That is something to think about.
No one want to be treated less based on race and their country’s accomplishments. But that does happen sometimes.
…
The old stereotype of an Asian man (South or East and maybe Southeast) in dress pants and dress shirt going to school and work rises and trumps above everything. Life from the 1950s – 1970s I think was great. That is guaranteed success and goals for coloured folk.
…
The problem is networking and going full throttle.
As a full Vietnamese that is from the South and old as your grandfather’s farts, living and from Oshawa, I am not afraid. This is GM country …
I am 42 years old, worked tons of social jobs and made tons of mistakes.
People questioning me or asking me stuff are just people who maybe did not work enough ‘low-paying’ social jobs to understand people.
I even worked at Fast Food and Buffets. Those cemented me to understand the human psyche which is:
“People want to eat. People want it free really and will still treat you second after you help and serve them. Learning is hard. So I will keep the knowledge for myself.”
After you understand customer service then you understand what people are doing talking to you and about you.
Are you wasting my time? Are you in it for yourself? Who benefits from this interaction?
But as an old fart, I am OK. I can share. I don’t mind. If I don’t share I will get in trouble. As a full South Vietnamese I have to share or I get in big trouble.
