AA MEN SEEK OUT NON-ASIAN WOMEN
(Updated )

sian women are only interested in non-Asian men and don't give Asian men the time of day. That's the reason cited by many AA men for dating and marrying non-Asians. A minority of AA men say they simply find non-Asian women more physically attractive or more appealing in terms of personality, values and interests. Whatever the reasons, the rates at which young Asian men are dating and marrying non-Asian women are quickly approaching the rates at which Asian women are outdating and outmarrying (about 38%). Some Asian women are complaining that they aren't getting a fair shake because Asian men have been brainwashed by media standards of desirability.
     What are the real reasons for so many Asian men seeking out non-Asian women? How do Asian women really feel about this trend? Who benefits most from it? Will the trend continue? We want to hear your views.

No, I can't remember the name of that soap opera.

'I’m sometimes told that my outlook is “very Zen,” whatever that means.
I’ll take it as a compliment.'

Thus the emphereal fantasy of being the Zen master is fulfilled and inner turmoil assuaged.

Much cheaper than professional help, you must admit.

"village, you're still battling the demons in your head rather than me"

heck i'd rather not battle those demons. you know what the demons tell me? "kill roger, must kill roger and flay his intestines to use for hog feed..."

:)

but aren't you glad i'm still winning the fight against my inner demons and not hunt you down in real life like i should?

i'm not going to argue anymore about free speech since it's also IRRELEVANT here. but i sure can tell you: SHUT YAR TRAP ALREADY! it all goes back to voltaire's "i may disagree with what you say, but i'll defend to the death your right to say it." believe you have a right to expound your stupidity is WAY different from actually wanting or have to listen to the filth.

this is pointless, but check your jan 13 post on the divide board. what's the underlying assumption if real life AM influence AF perceptions more? it must be from your perspective that the stereotypes about AM are true since AF must base their perceptions on real life AM. you're not convincing anybody else besides your own demons. so why don't you go bash your head against the wall to silence your own demons? i can also think of reasons why there are plenty of negative AM images, any fool can make presuppositions and conjectures, but it's your particular posts that i was responding to which implied in nearlly all of them that AM are at fault.

i say again, "it is a fool who looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart." -o, brother where art thou.

and i'm the king of the fools

I left the UK as soon as having finished my last A-level exam. That was more than 10 yrs ago. I don't know if you notice something about English people. They seem to not shower as often as they should. I remembered one guy was dragged by the dorm master to see a doctor because he had headlice. Anyhow, I don't think the British are more liberal towards IRs than the Americans. America is too big a country compared to UK. Different states have different attitudes towards IRs.

@ villageidiot

Village, you’re still battling the demons in your head rather than me. That’s why I suggested that you quote anything I actually said that you take issue with, rather than falsely ascribe to me views I don’t hold.

I never made an appeal to the First Amendment, Village, and I’m more aware than most of the Amendment’s scope and reach. However, you consider yourself to be someone who "fully support[s] free speech," even as you threaten to take steps to ban me from speaking. I merely pointed out the irony of your belief that you fully support free speech.

Village, freedom of speech was already an ancient Occidental value by the time Plato wrote the Apology of Socrates. The First Amendment merely embodied this value as a restriction on the new government, and on the new federal Congress, at that. However, the First Amendment did not create what was held to be a natural right, and people who really fully support free speech philosophically aren’t constrained by the vicissitudes of First Amendment jurisprudence.

Village, you don’t fully support free speech if you’re threatening to ban me.

Your underlying disagreement with me seems to be over your mistaken notion about some “insistent subtext” you think you’ve divined in my posts that AMs “ain’t got game” and that it is their “fault for not getting any AF.” Village, this is what I mean about battling the demons in your head rather than me.

For one thing, if you’ll scroll back you’ll see that I repeatedly referred to the perceptions AFs are alleged to have of AMs. Further, these allegations against AFs come almost entirely from AMs themselves. The truth is probably not discernable because it’s a sensitive subject.

More importantly, though, the only thing I said about the reasons for such alleged perceptions was that the impressions AFs have from real contact with AMs probably would not be overcome by the occasional media image of an AM. From that, you leap to the conclusion that I must be saying that AMs “ain’t got game” and that it is their “own fault.” Village, you make that leap without me.

I can think of a list of reasons besides occasional disparaging media images of AMs and the idea that AMs really must not “got game.” Apparently you can’t, so if I doubt the greater influence of the occasional media image, you falsely attribute to me the view that AMs “ain’t got game.” If you’ll cool off, though, you’ll come up with other possibilities, too.

Village, you liken my suggestion that you gain self-control to perpetuating my “beloved quiet and geeky asian-male stereotype.” Does that mean you equate bad manners and illogic with strength?

Someone else accused me here of reading too many Zen books. I’ve never read a Zen book and I don’t think I could name one (unless Robert Pirsig's book counts), but when I’m not being accused of being the ultimate WASP, I’m sometimes told that my outlook is “very Zen,” whatever that means.

I’ll take it as a compliment.

Your friend,
