Seems like you rarely see death notice or obit in the Washington Post for someone who was Asian. How come? The cemetary were I have family members is being overtaken by Asians so I know they must be dying too. Is it a cultural thing not to put in newspaper or financial?

Asians might feel like I (a caucasian of Irish extraction) do. And that is that all persons who were close to, or family of the deceased will be personally informed of the passing.
It's no fucking business of anybody else, especially the crooks and scammers that also read the obituaries.

Asians care about working hard and making money. They could care two shits about people knowing who's died. Too many people in this country have their priorities screwed up.
In America you see five supervisors looking at one person working.
In Asia you see one supervisor looking at five people working.

ASIAN'S WHAT? It is just Asians. No apostrophe. My God, this is the downfall of civilization.
Remember that an apostrophe denotes possession or a contraction and NOT (DAMMIT) plurality. Stop signing your Christmas cards with The Miller's. Your beach house should not welcome all to The Riley's; just The Rileys is all that is needed.

Americans aren't ready for Asian obituarys.
Long Wang Tung, 75, entered eternity surrounded by loved ones on July 14, 2012.
Long was born in abject poverty in his native China on April 30, 1937.
He came to America in 1962 bringing rudeness, arrogance, the inability to drive a car, and his third world sensibilities. He loved dogs and cats, especially cooked in a Wok.
He is survived by 4 sons because he murdered all of his baby girls.
Please make monatary donations to the greedy , souless, money hungry Tung family in lieu of flowers.
