wow... you'd kinda hope with these "open-minded" times, that s&*t like this wouldn't happen. I too have had things said about me because of my stature. It's just down-right... not right

Re: Marie Claire Declares Asian Women as The New Trophy Wives

well put... there are many non-asians who would make a good fit for many asian men. I also like that you included those who would prefer to be with their own race or of similar background. There are also many who would prefer that too(me being one of them). Being open-minded means TRYING to see things from another perspective. There are many who have no preference towards race, many who have a preference towards specific different race, or those who prefer their own race. Matter of preference, not necessarily superiority(SOMETIMES). I've been interested in many non-asians, and was serious with a latina. I still do prefer to be with my own race, but i still keep an open eye towards other races. Beautiful women are beautiful women.

the real problem is that people are trying to fight stereotyping with stereotyping. I find that if i put too much precedence with what other people do, i end up stressing too much. People will do whatever the f*&k they want to, whether or not I'm there to tell them it's wrong or right. It's really up to the individuals who have problems with this imbalance to stand up. "Be the difference you want to see in the world". Be the one who shows the world something different, something outside the supposed "norm".

now you're just stereotyping people, and that's totally NOT good, not at all. and who says asian men don't know how to deal with conflict? you? maybe a few others? MAYBE the asian men in YOUR community aren't up to snuff, but don't drag down a whole demographic of people just because of a supposed few bad examples. I just think it's really damn bad that you had such a bad experience with asian guys. I'd probably think the same thing to, if I was in that position. We're not all like that.

P.S. what double standard have i insinuated? i never said looks were important for only men or only women, i said it as a general statement for BOTH GENDERS(and sarcastically at that).

and we all know "looks" are sooooo important, right? (sarcasm, just sarcasm)

Asians will get their chance. We're already making strides in being heard more. Just gotta keep pushing and getting out there till the media sees asian men for what they can bring to the table.

Re: Asian, Westerners Accents & Language Barriers

gthro123 — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:22:03 -0000

also, i agree that the traditional media does wash out asians, but i'm optimistic in believing that that fact will change, probably soon. We'll make ourselves known, either through the net or through the tv.
