Fukk a martial art...they got hammers...

Real shyt in Chicago, neighborhoods like Uptown and Albany Park they said Asian dudes was giving hispanics the business up until the late 90's, early 00's.

Lmao these dudes are the worst. Always BS'ing about "I'm part Spanish, bro!" Yeah, alright dude Never met people who wanted to be mixed so bad

There was a Asian dude on here who referred to them as Bootleg Asians and immediately brought up the fact they don't have their own martial arts.
