Asians + Freebies

I have read numerous sites that poke fun at Asians and our love for freebies and I don't deny it. It's in our blood along with our love for rice and pork buns. All Asians love it and I have seen people who would bolt across the busy (dangerous) streets of Cabramatta to obtain a free SBS ruler. They would often wave it above their heads with pride like an Olympic gold metal, making passing Asians jealous. Although many Gen Y Asians are embarrassed by their parents behavior as they line up for hours for freebies or fight over the last 99c item, everyone has done it once in their lifetime. Whether it be mooching free food at the Easter Show or pretending to be interested in a lecture about accounting while slowing putting free pens into their bag.

As for me I see it as a phrase of life, it's something that cannot be denied or escaped from, because I know that one day I will be replacing my mum in those lines just to get that free whatever.
