Someone who despises their asian culture, such as me, and replaces it with the western sub-culture. That is, their music, their ways of talking, their hobbies and their LIFE in general.
Perhaps it is the new form of an asian stereotype?
We all know yellowtrash are unique compared to every other asian because they don't need to pump 20 $2 coins into DDR machines after school at the local arcade, nor do they listen to shitty, one-beat RnB, trendy top-20 radio bullshit, or even worse, asian music, nor do they type 'you' as 'u' and spend hours looking for different emoticons that flash and give everyone epileptic seizures for their IM programs.
when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.
This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
