Each completing and inspiring the other, because that's what friendship is, at its core. Plus, the world just genuinely loves Anglo-Saxon Curiosity manifesting into crazy ass white boys perfectly assimilating, see pic related and any white guy who speaks perfect mandarin. Ever had a white sushi chef serve you? It's so awesome.
