I am at Foxwoods about 3 times every two weeks, and it seems as though the entire Asian population of New England hides out here.
As amazing at how many Asians there are in Massachusetts alone, an even more amazing thing is that most know really nothing about their culture.
Do you know why they gamble as much as they do??
I do, and I know because I want to understand them instead of them doing all of the work.
They gamble because it is ingrained in their culture. They are testing their luck because through tradition they are born either lucky, or not lucky. How else are they supposed to find out?
Now you know something you didn't know yesterday.

I don't know if it's really fair to say that's the reason why so many Asians go to Foxwoods. Some, maybe, but all? That's pushing it. Plus, that whole idea gets into a phsychology sort of thing - not simply culture - and that's a dangerous game to play. I'm not trying to say that you're wrong because that's unfair too... you could very much be right, I just think that's an impossible thing to know for certain.
ReplyDeleteyeah you could well be right. But every asian is not there because they wanna test their luck- some may sight see and some just wanna gamble like hell because they can. I also don't like playing the "look inside someone else's head" game.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of Asians in the world, I highly doubt that there is actually a large percentage of them gambling on any given night. Three nights experience gambling hardly gives an arguement that they are there every night.
ReplyDeleteMaybe all the Asians who aren't gambling to test their luck are standing in the middle of the highway... Possibly just as rediculous...
alot come out when houston rockets or ichiro come to town and the sports teams have asian day
