Let me know if you find a website that pokes fun specifically at second-generation Asians. Because most of the time, the joke is on the first-generation Asian. Thanks for the post.

I'm pretty sure I've said lots of awkward and funny things when I try to speak Chinese so I wouldn't be surprised if there was a website poking fun at 2nd generation Asian Americans! I wouldn't be offended by that, but I think first generation Asians are a bit more touchy and easy to offend than the 2nd generation!
