Eliot Chang’s list of things Asians hate

One time, somebody asked me, “What nationality are you?”

I answered, “American.”

“No, I mean what nationality are your parents?”

“They’re also American.”

“No, I mean where are your parents from?”

“They’re from New Jersey.”

“No, I mean before that.”

“North Carolina.”

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
