A little bird told me that Jackson MIGHT be the guest. But, no, it was not a carrier pigeon!

ReplyDeleteFrom the Mixed Media site, both Yousef and his co-host are of middle-eastern descent, but born in the U.S.A. This is the most relevant part of the Wikipedia article:
ReplyDeleteThe term "FOB" is also used in a less offensive way of describing Asian American youths, as well as those in Australia and other countries, that display contemporary East Asian youth cultures. This behavior is part of a new trend of Asian American teens displaying their modern cultural roots (like listening to Asian music and watching Asian movies) rather than conform with mainstream Western culture. Thus the term "Fob" is used in a social context to describe a particular clique or subculture of teens. A few modern-day "Fobs" may actually be American-, Australian-, etc., born Asians.
"Fob" is also used as a slang term for these youths to refer to each other, such as American blacks using the "N" word. The same can be applied to Iranian American youths, who use the term in the same non-offensive way as Asian American youths.
