Communist Takeover

They’re bombarding American soil by the hordes, and there’s not one single sign of stopping as they seem to only increase in numbers with each passing day. The stereotypes are everywhere, and to tell you the truth, a majority of them are true. Yes, they are Fresh Off the Boat (FOB) coming from Asian countries where chances at a decent future are bleak; FOBs are now immigrating to the United States at a more rapid rate than ever, largely due to the promises of better education and a shot at middle class society. Most would just say, “Oh, there’s a new FOB at school? They’re all the same anyways.” But there is oh so much more.

There has to be that one FOB that gets on everyone nerve, the “I’m so cool and ghetto” FOB. This FOB is so set on making himself/herself looking like something their not that they don’t realize that actually, people are disgusted by their sad attempts at becoming “hard”. You’ll find these FOBs sharing the same affection towards baggy pants, long chains, foil for their teeth, and oversized shirts that’d be able to house a 3rd world-country family, as your everyday ordinary ghetto man. On top of their already horribly broken English, they have to speak with the miniscule amount of American ghetto slang that they have learned through the likes of MTV, in hopes of getting accepted in the eyes of the other “ghettos”. This type of FOB would be shunned by most of their FOB peers, yet they don’t really seem to be bothered by it and go about their business without a care in the world.

Then there’s the “I’m not really from anywhere in another Asia, but I was in my past life” FOB. This FOB wouldn’t actually be considered a FOB, but based on the things that this FOB performs, which are very FOB -like actions, in the end you have to consider this FOB …a FOB. Every time you make contact this fob, he/she will greet you with a “Hi” in some Asian language they they’re not a native speaker to, but “Hi” and a few other words is all this...
