It seems mostly second generation call each other FOBs or their parents who
show rustic behavior. Like my ex-roommate called a new roommate FOB when that
guy neither ate non-veg nor let anyone else cook it in the common kitchen at
Miami and none of his roommates allowed him to bring a girl home (he stayed in
the living room). I can live with that.
Can you?

PS: The question remains that if second generation don't like references to
where their anscestors came from then why do they call themselves Asian or
African Americans?
