Heh heh, those guys are an interesting lot. If you go by their logic, then Japanese, Taiwanese, and Indonesian people would have to be considered Pacific Islanders too

Plus, Filipinos aren't physically large enough to be Pacific Islanders a la Samoans, Tongans, Maori, Hawaiians, etc.

I'm just over reacting? Lets face it, who doesn't want to look more Asian right? And it's a lot better than stretching our eyes and taping them down and putting on a bucked tooth.
Hypocrite much? You felt like someone was making fun of your features, so in response you make fun of other's features? Is the pot calling the kettle black?

Seriously, if you ever worked around or worked with families who live in the Chinatowns of Oakland, SF, etc, you'll rethink about your statement above. The problem that always recurs is the "model minority" myth-- if we shut up, put our heads down, and work hard, we can all be successful like those Asians.



#2. Cool? American cool right? Rock cool? Hip-hop cool? Or they gotta be more like that other group cool? This isn't high school, this is the real outside world.

sorry... i'm not attacking... just pointing out a couple of things that are worth thinking about...

#1 O yeah? What about white trash in hell, VALLEJO where you're from? What about the white trash all over the US? Sure as hell more white trash than asian trash.

There's poor people of a given race everywhere. Do you think asian americans are second rate citizens and not getting the opportunities whites do? I don't see any objective evidence to point towards that.




#2 Again, o yeah? I'm talking about the adult nightlife scene. I don't think there's any argument about what I getting at (albiet in a jokingly way), which is that Asian men in America are not as attractive to women as other races; it's a well known fact and nobody even debates it, so I'm not going to debate it with you

Obviously Asia is another story, and if you go to China/Taiwan there's a lot of hot chicks that won't date non-chinese men. That's another story for another day.

On that note, being sent over by an American company to China/Taiwan = awesome. I had a 3 month assignment in Shanghai...

Yeah. Sidenote I've always been a bit pet peeved about though is: it's not accurate to lump the achievements of "asians", even Chinese people.

You have multiple waves of the Chinese diaspora (Qing dynasty refugees, initial Republic of China academics, taiwanese immigration in the 60s-80s, and then mainland Chinese immigration in the 80s-now) and various groups are responsible for different contributions and achievements.

It's the same features that are being poked at. Im not ref. anyone else.

The taped eyes and buck tooth was in reference to Micky Roony's role as Mr. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany's where Asians were all the same in Hollywood's eyes.

Yes, white (in skin) guy playing the roll of a Japanese (asian) guy.

I do live in Vallejo right now. Point? Yes there is poor people everywhere, even your "White trash". And that's a problem in itself.

I was once (recently last week) told by someone "white trash" (such as you described) to "go back to my own country." Umm... i'm an American. Born and raised... here... America (how many of you non-whites hear that original one before?) But if you are white in skin color... will you ever hear that? That is the most basic example of ignorant/ naive people. But it doesn't happen to you <--- objective evidence. And just because they are white, they are more deserving than the "other kinds".

You know, one rock in a pond has ripples. So if something so basic surfaces, do you really thing that it ends there?

So you are trying to tell me that everyone in America is equal? Equal opportunity for all right? Just by the color of ones skin makes things uneven.

I never said American Asians, Asians, Africans, AmeriAfricans, Mexicans, Guatemalans (some of you guys call them Mexicans), etc, are second rate. But they are oppressed by the upper tier of society which is controlled by mostly w_____ guys. Most of them have inherited these positions from families who, through oppressing immigrants, were able to grow huge firms.

Adult nightlife scene... hahaha... okay Fabio...

You seem to get you life lessons from Hollywood. And the Mass Media outlets say yes... you are more attractive than not just Asians, but blacks (well maybe not cuz they have hug dicks), Mexicans, Koreans. High five on that one.

Its a well know fact right? That is one of the most ignorant things I have ever read.

Again, you seem to be getting most of your information from Hollywood. I can tell you that your ideals of attraction (like most Asian fetish guys) are pretty skewed. Most American Asians see the types of "Asian girls" the guys like you date... i would like to say...thank you. Tia Tequila is not attractive nor is she hot as you may think... you can take that one

Also, attraction has a lot to do with success (in real life anyways). The more successful someone (male) is, the more attractive they appear. So, in America, where most successful men are perceived to be white, they may seem more attractive. I'm not saying that this is the only factor of attractiveness but its is partial.

Likewise, youth is attributed to the attractiveness to women, hence your
"hot chicks in Taiwan/China" (small petite girls... that's what you are after right?). Again, i am not saying that that is the only factor, but it does play a big part.

And really, get out of your M-butterfly complex and see things for what they are. American guys are attractive to Hollywood. American media puts the "strong usually white guy" as the captain while his crew "the others" are in dire need of his strength (i hear there is something like this in dragonball z movie??). In Hollywood the hero (white guy) always gets the girl.... HOLLYWOOD.


Do you know why little china dolls in China and Taiwan wont give you a second look? it is because most media outlets don't paint a picture of success as a white guy, they don't have leading rolls played by an american (white) guy, and there are plenty of successful Asian guys out there. So white guys don't fly there. If you really try to listen... they make F U N O F G U Y S L I K E Y O U

Really, do you think most Asian girls are after your looks? Cus if so, someone pulled the wool over your eyes. It is because you appear to be able to provide a stable future for them (in terms of money). Mail order brides are not looking for love... guy.

but you said "what's up with the Asian activism." isn't that lumping them into one? we were only responding to that original statement, that's all.
