LOL. I read all of them and I concluded that 89% of them are false. Many weren't even Asian stereotypes, they were way too general.

Also, I think this thread is pretty much of a spamming one. Please post something like this in the Chatterbox.

I wish I could be love,
Then I could be
All over the world.

I just skimmed through it. What I got off of this is that whoever does get 0 is really conservative, and frugal, almost to the point of stealing massive amounts of napkins from Costco.
This is also a repeat topic.

I'll remember to love,
You taught me how.
