Why would she hate herself? Her ethnicity does no defy her. And from what I've read, she loves her family's background. You have to realize American IS her culture. Just becasue she's not prancing around in traditional Chinese clothes (which Chinese from China don't even wear anymore) doesn't mean anything. And if she's with a "white" man, doesn't mean she hates Asian men. '-_-

I hope PETA takes action against this woman for cruelty to animals. How would you like it if someone stuffed you in a suffocating bag for a presentational effect--kind of joke? I didn't think that was nice at all.
