This interview was conducted in secret, I recorded word for word what mark said. It is as follows. unadulterated, unedited, uncut.
What was it like when you first came over?
I was being scared and nervous in a new country. Come with other FOB’s and don’t have to speak much english.
Was it hard to make friends?
Knew too many taiwanese, so went to school in Pennsylvania. Had one white friend. We all have one real white friend, he was the one that took us out to smoke and talk to us. All the seniors that were his friends graduated, so went to salem academy.
Did your parents call you often?
my parents called me very often in the beginning. Then they stop calling as often the last couple of years.
Did you have a lot of girlfriends?
No girlfriends in taiwan (official). They asked me out so it doesnt count as being my “real” girlfriend. Big tits, lovedddd. I Like white chicks because they have decent tits. Asians are too small. Fuck. God dammit.
Ever make any white friends that were girls?
they weren’t close at least. Lot of asian girls, boy. Im like attractive to all the asian girls. Thats kinda weird right? I’m very okay with talking to them, but speaking english girl is like, “what the fuck?” its weird. Just like weird.
Big events that shaped you?
Transferring to the whitest white high school in Salem. Everyone is white.
Staying here for really long, you kinda used to this culture and shit, you know?
Do you consider yourself more Taiwanese or American?
I don’t speak as good english as a lot of my friends do. My family think I am foreigner because the things I do and the habits and stuff…just white hahaha shiiiit.
How has coming here changed you?
I’ve learned a lot of bad habits here. I didnt smoke at all until I came here, then some asians here taught me how to smoke, learn how to drink. Since 16, party with them, and join a fraternity and stuff like that, all the experience that I couldnt had in taiwan. I learned how to play jenga, like all that stupid stuff .. the words and stuff like that. I played pretty much all the white persons game. And how to play football, and be one of the importants. Not many do that. Like join many sports and stuff like that. I learn how great america is, like eating a huge steak, and going to red robin and seeing that big ass burger, and curly fries and stuff, those are all just experiences I couldn’t had in taiwan.
