- About the concept of Asian in US. To my knowledge, the term "Asian" in US refers to all people from Asia. I remember once there was an US celebrity who was accused of insulting Asian because of making slant eyes. And then her boyfeind, whose parents come from Middle East, standed out and defend her with the reason "I'm Asian and I'm her boyfriend." He's roasted so bad in China because we all know slant eyes refer to which specific ethnic group. So I'm wondering if there is a term exclusively referring to people who belong to the major ethnic group of Eastern Asia countries such as China, Japan or Korea? I know the word "yellow" is considered offensive and "Mongoloid" is outdated. (P.S. kind of funny that "yellow-skinned" is used as an official term for our major ethnic group in the textbooks in China and we even has a patriotic song whose lyrics contain the word "yellow skin", although now some Chinese are raising obejction to this term.)
- What is boo mean? I mean the one in Dua Lipa’s song “levitating”. There’s a sentence in the song said :You want me,I want you baby. My “sugarboo”,I’m levitating. But all I found are about the onomatopoeia which use to scare people or disagree someone. Btw please tell me that is Dua Lipa famous now? And you can also tell me the things about her. If you don’t know who is her ,just tell me what is boo mean in that sentence . Thanks.

- Is there any cultural controversy between US and an European country? Because China, Japan and Korea have similar culture, people often argue about the origin of certain cultural traditions or invention such as clothes, cuisine or instruments. Recently, the friction between China and Korea is especially heated like arguing over the origin of traditional pickled cabbages and traditional clothes. So I'm kind of wondering if there is any similar cultural controversy between US and an European country, especially between US and Britain, France or Germany, considering these countries have similar culture and a long history of cultural communication.

- Is it possible that this is a racist slur against Asian in US? So my sister was studying in US and I went there with my mom to visit her last year. We went to a beach and when we were parking our cars, a bunch of young guys drove a car passing by. One girl among them yelled something like "Hello, cherry!" to my sister and she got really upset and thought that is a racist slur against Asian because the girl sounded like she's making fun of her. I'm not sure if it's cherry, sherry, shelly or even chelly (I remember it sounded more like a word ending with "ly" sound) and it happened last year so my memory could fail me. I Googled the word "cherry" and found it could mean a pretty girl, but is that a common usage in US? Or does anyone have any idea about what it might be?
