T.H. Lien:

Fu Mingxia has no need to be a gold digger because she probably makes no less than her HK guy.

Fu Mingxia is only dating an older man because even though she is young, she has the mentality of a person twice her age. That's because circumstances put her in an environment of having to deal with adults even when she was just a young girl. It's only natrual that she has a tendency to be more mature and have a preference for older men. It's actually kind of sad if you think about it...to have a mentality that far exceeds her age and be misjudged by the public.

With her maturity, I'm sure that Fu Mingxia can communicate better with guys twice her age than with peers like you.

rare stuff:

I also know these Korean American mixes...

The oldest girl is very dark skinned. She's darker than her Korean mom.

The second and third girl are all really light pigmented.

They are all sisters too.

Hapa guy who enjoys dumping Chinese girls who yell I'm 100% Chinese:

So... where do you get the idea that all pure Asian women are slant eyed? Is it because that's what your mother looks like?? Maybe the only Asian women you can ever have a chance to encounter are often ugly...as in the case of you mom.

Most Chinese girls I've seen...including myself have big eyes with double eyelid. I'm sorry that not every one of us look like your mother. I'm not calling your mother ugly...I simply assumed that it is what you think of her since you generalized pure breed Asian women as "unattractive". It's really a shame that it would come out of someone who happens to be half Asian.

Sorry bud...you are not white. Don't make comments that don't neccessarily flatter yourself. After all...you are Asian too...so I guess by your logic..you would be half "unattractive" too right? O_~

Right. Not because you are half Asian but because there are ugly individuals in every race and your mother appearantly happens to be one for you to think so lowly of Asian women.

P.S-- You sound plain low self-esteemed to me. i guess fake arrogance is the best way for people like you to mask your low self image.

!_!

TO :Beijing Angelique

u said,"Pure is more beautiful!" well, if ur going to be insulting and racist, keep ur comments to yourself. no one cares about "your opinion". also, citing 2 examples isn't proof in anyone's eyes. it may be your opinion, but u don't have to put other people down publicly, especially on a hapa msg board. i'm not saying hapas r more beautiful, but THEY are the ones getting recognized n all the roles. so what ur saying doesn't make sense. if i play by ur rules (stating the more popular ones r also more beautiful), then hapas would rule. also, everybody i know has never heard of gong li. everybody i kno loves kristin. why r u even pitting hapas n full-blood asians against each other anyway? is there a method to your madness?
rushluma23 Thursday, April 25, 2002 at 22:01:56 (PDT)

you know the term pure-bred is a little offensive for both hapas and non-hapas. pure-bred makes u sound like dogs or cats. i love animals but, really, it's not a great comparison. n the opposite of "pure-bred" would b "mutt" (so hapas would be called that). isnt "mutt" a pretty offensive word for people of mixed descent? i think so.

and why is everyone arguin about whether full-blooded asians or hapas are superior? hapas can be beautiful. full-blooded asians can b beautiful. saying ALL of one kind is ugly is racial superiority and derogatory.

AC Dropout,

Thanks for the response.
Well, in actuality, I'd say 2 of the several hapa girls in Texas I know of, would be considered sluts.
I'm not saying all hapa girls in Texas are sluts, but the ones who are more American cultured/less in touch with their Asian heritage seem to be sluttier vs. those in Hawaii.

I apologize for the extreme language.
I did not expect such a colorful response. I've just been hanging out w/ some amigos who seem to use the word 'whore' quite often. Believe me, it's not that they hate women. They're just a bit colorful in their language, which I've sorta been picking-up... hahaha...
