WHAT YOU SAY

[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]
"The reason Japanese/Korea/Chinese girl skin's are sooOo pale like milky white in north america becuz they use SKIN WHITENING PRODUCTS and vietnamese girls havn't known about those yet.

Ok?
TheWinDsOnG"

ok, I get it. So if it's something desirable (thinness, skin lightness) that another race possess, it's through artificial manipulation. But if the same desired trait a viet possesses, it's by gift of nature and it applies to all viets across the board. Man you are so full of it. Common sense, the reason the Chinese/Korean/Japanese are lighter is because they are from a colder climate where the elements are harsh so they stay indoor more, thus less exposure to the sun.

what is this obsession about pink skin? Do you think it makes you superior because you're "different" from the other asians and thus better? Guess what, to westerners you're just another slant eye "yellow" person.

And let me get this straight, almost everyone in vietnam are mixed with French, that's why viet girls are more attractive than other asian girls. Now I know the French who station in Vietnam do not marry the locals(whom they consider low class), so where would all these mix children come from? Prostitution maybe? But wait, as you claim that all the prostitutes are from Thailand or other countries, so can you please explain this? If what you say is true, then most of the attractive people in your country is actually mixed Thai or Chinese and not vietnamese. Or would you like to take back your prostitution statement and keep your atttractiveness statement? To say that the majority of prostitutes in vietnam are not viets is just delusional. By the way, are you proud that your country was colonized and therefore produced a bunch of mixed children? And I'm sure all the Arabs and Indians who visited vietnam and produced all these mixed children fell in love, married the women and then deserted them. Man vietnamese women must have been really unlovable, or maybe they were prostitutes and the children were the result of their job.

why don't you guys just give up all this b.s.? the more you insist your race is perfect the more you make yourself look bad. There's no one best race, all nationalities are different. Quit twisting things around to make yourself look better, you just end up looking delusional.

To: Can I get some advice:

I am a Vietnamese male who have been in relationships with a few Korean females. My parents judged my Korean girlfriends as individuals, not as part of any ethnic groups. My Vietnamese friends who date/marry Koreans or other ethnics don't seem to have any objections from their Vietnamese parents either.

Best wishes.

You need not to worry! Most Vietnamese people do not have anything against Koreans. Their only true enemies is the enemies amongst themselves: the conflicting prejudice attitudes that they have amongst each other; which is quite absurd!

Most Viets have these prejudgements like: "Oh, North Viets are all communists, South Viets are all stupid, Central Viets are all stuck up, stingy snobs...etc"

They are too busy pre-judging themselves. So, don't worry. Besides, I think this crap goes on in all cultures.

Good Luck!

To the Corean male seeking advice,

I don't know of any Vietnamese who hold grudge against Coreans generally for the misbehavior of a small number of Corean troops in Vietnam some decades ago.

I personally know at least 30+ relationships/ marriages between Vietnamese male-Corean female and vice versa. I am fairly close with the people in those relationships and I didn't hear of any parental discouragement from either side.

Goldsea needs to add posts on Corean-Vietnamese relationships. I see so many of them out there.

Best of luck on your love life.

As long as you are well manner, and compliment her parent, then that's you're best bet. If you are sincere then that's a start, I don't think that the vietnamese family over here in the u.s. really hold it against you. Yeah, and something that works, buy the parent gifts and stuff went you visit them, though you don't have to, but that would always make them happier, ^_^
good luck

To a Korean who falls in love with Vietnamese,

“What do Vietnamese parents think of Koreans? Particularly if a Korean guy dates a Vietnamese girl. I heard that the generation of Vietnamese who remember the war hate Koreans because they committed a lot of atrocities and stuff back then.”

Actually, most Vietnamese parents want their children marry Vietnamese to reserve their own culture, traditions. I believe other group of people would do the same. However, in the U.S. many Vietnamese parents are more relaxing on their children marriage. In my opinion, some Vietnamese changed their mind after coming to the U.S. Some would allow their children marry with other race. But they would feel better if their children marry other Asians than Caucasian. Specially, Chinese culture is more similar to most Vietnamese. Korean or Japanese might be next after Chinese. These are opinions that I have seen from many Vietnamese parents. For the mentality of the Vietnam War, majority of Vietnamese living in the U.S don’t like communism that why they risked their life to escape Vietnam. Many are former South Vietnamese officers, soldiers who often think South Koreans are their friends.

So, be polite and respect her parents. Bow your head and try to say: “Cha`o ba’c” when you meet them.

BTW, I just attended a wedding in which the groom is a Korean American and the bride is a Vietnamese living in California.

To, can i get some advice?;

My dad had a close encounter with koreans during the war. He knew what they did, but he also knows that the actions of a few doesn't represent that of the majority.

Most vietnamese people don't have premeditated ideas about the koreans. Don't worry to much, it should go through well. Vietnamese people are very openminded.

Yeah, and i notice that there is no korean and vietnamese thread...
