Exactly, totally self-reliant, self-sufficient... Truly understand multiculturalism and stick to their traditions. Respect other traditions.
No complaining in groups to feed the entitlement agenda...
I have complete and total respect for their culture.
62% of Asian Americans voted for Obama. 56% voted for John Kerry in 2004. Asian americans are not conservatives or republicans. Granted there is variance between the voting patterns between Indians, Chinese, Koreans, and South East Asians.

This doesn't change the fact that they don't whine and complain and politicize stuff (like you just did)
They've always embraced a very studious and self-motivated culture as it relates to personal achievement without depending on government handouts.
One key reason why Democrats and lefties have no use for them is that they have had the lowest rejection rate for home mortgage applications of any ethnic group for decades, as Dr. Thomas Sowell has pointed out on numerous occassions, making Democratic party whining about discrimination even more preposterous than it already is.
I've also seen it translated as "talking dog"...............
I've never heard it used to mean that and that was not my intention. It is an Ewe word and as far as I know it means white person,mixed person, or black person with western culture.

Yovo as a term of endearment? I think not.

Funny, there are a LOT of asians, specifically Chinese, at my Ivy League University. The people who are really getting screwed over are non Japanese/Chinese/Korean Asian, imo. The rest of this thread is disgusting.
In my language the direct translation of the word we use for white person is actually giant liar. Giant for powerful, liar self-explanatory. So yes that makes sense but as I stated before as far as I know yovo means white person/mixed person/black person with western culture. Ewe is not my first language so I'm not familiar with the etymology of the word and am not a linguist but I grew up in a predominantly Ewe part of Ghana and that was simply the term we use to name these people. Children yell it all the time when a foreigner is in sight and I sincerely doubt that they are referring to people as cunning dogs.
