What is Michael Ly?
1.
Someone who looks Chinese, but isn't actually.
Nick: "Hey Mike...Michael Ly!"
Mike: "I'm behind you, idiot."
Nick: "Oh, sorry. Anyway, can you help me out with this Chinese book I have? I'm stuck on this word-"
Mike: "I can't really speak Chinese, sorry."
Nick: "...you mean...you don't know any Chinese? Your own mother/ father-speaking, native language which founded your heritage and the culture of your ancestors?!"
Mike: "Yeah, I don't actually know."
Nick: "So I could call you a tóng xìng and you wouldn't have any fucking clue would you?"
Mike: "No. I am ashamed of myself."
Nick: "That's right. Now go and sit in the corner you tóng xìng. And while you're there, you can cry for me...yes, cry...cry for me!"
Mike: *cries*
Nick: "Cry louder!"
Mikes: *cries more, then takes Samurai sword and performs Harikiri* (this is technically Japanese but we know that Chinese and Japanese are the same thing).
