Daddy the Hakka

Posted on November 26, 2008 at 04:10pm

So in China, there’s this Chinese minority called “Hakka.” So here is a conversation that went down with my dad at the dinner table.

Me: So my roommate Connie’s Chinese too… oh! And her boyfriend is a Hakka!
Dad: Really? Professional or leisure?
Me: What? I don’t know…?
Dad: You know, Daddy is a Hakka too!
Me: Really?!?!?! How do you know?
Dad: I hakked the iPhone!

Watching American Music Awards, Jimmy Kimmel is hosting, introduces award presenters Paris Hilton and T-Pain:

Me: Hahaha, nice hat! I love T-pain!
Dad (In Chinglish): Ooooh! Is that the Black Eyed Peas guy?!
Me: Nah, Pops, you’re thinking about will.i.am.
Dad: Eh, these hip-hop guys all look the same…
Mom (In Chinese): What a stupid comment! Son, yell at him for racism!
Dad: He’s dressed like a pimp. Who is that, his ho?
Me: No, that’s Paris Hilton.
Dad: Oh, not just his ho — everyone’s ho! HAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!
