Hehe...I feel that Asian girls need an advocate like myself to speak for them. Before the existence of I....this poll was polluted with lies of how Asian girls are soooooo crazy about hapa guys. (posted by hapa guys) My posts were simply meant to be a reality check and to reinforce some awareness into people that those sterotypes are far from true. You may not like my approach...however I feel that if I do not make it clear that hapa guys are not as PREFERED as they claim they are...then I am in a sense allowing hapa guys to speak for Asian girls. Because from what I have seen....it is the hapas guys who are speaking for Asian girls saying that Asians are so crazy about hapas...not the Asians themselves. I might not be able to speak for all of Asia...but my views are closer to the truth and more legitimate as an representation of Asian women because it comes out of someone who IS an Asian young woman.

No, I am not ABC.

You are absolutely right....interest in the opposite sex is usually individual- based...not racially based. That is exactly the point that I was trying to make...just with a reversed psychology approach. If an Asian girl finds you attractive...it is probably because of YOU not because you are hapa! So just take it as a personal compliment and leave it... because it is not a big enough deal for some of you to talk of superiority：) I know that YOU personally do not....but I sure hear it from other hapa guys on this poll. Things like that will only make real respectable Asian girls laugh...

to young: oh wow. u must be a like a bio major. i'm only talking very simple biology here. I'm only in HS biology not some fancy-schmancy bio college course. i just meant that a random mutation can't spread through a population within one or two generations. populations cannot breed that fast and evolution takes many genrations to occur. that's all. ur probably right about the other stuff. You sound very intelligent.

to malaysian eurasian gal18:
i was looking back on really old posts and i saw one where ur were malaysian eurasian gal17. lol. yes i love pizza. it makes me fat though. what is hawaiin pizza? is it like a diff crust or w/ pineapples or something. i remember the pineapples in hawaii to be very succulent. yes linkin park is very popular here too. did u kno there's a hapa guy in it? ooh that's a romantic story about ur parents. very cute.

to TH Lien:
How funny. u mean it was the whole asian rappers trying to speak english thing? that kinda stuff really annoys me. people should just not rap in languages they dont speak too well JUST to be cool. same goes for americans who try the whole latin thing. they just end up soinding foolish. what kindof things do they censor anyway? yeah u got the pear thing right. it's slightly diff from separate, diff tone. well the word i use for tongue would be like that too. kinda like "lay" (chinglish translation). i'm not sure of it's formal or not.

Hey Viva Melayu

Thats really harsh men...come on r u telling me that my mom and my moms family r not malaysian just because that they r not malays...

I can't believe there's still people who thinks like that in malaysia...

Even u know that malays r like chinese and indians, we r not originally from here right. We r comers too u know...Orang Asli r the original people (in malaysia)..

Viva Melayu,
Well, if that's what you think. But when you said that Chinese and Indians have no rights to say that they are Malaysians, you are hurting alot of people. Without the Chinese and the INdians, Malaysia will never be like the Malaysia of today. We need to unite despite of racial differences. Yes, I do think that I'm lucky to be born in Malaysia and I'm proud of that. I'm a Eurasian and I consider myself as Malaysian even if people say I'm wrong. If you say that caucasian-chinese, indian-chnese, indian, chinese have no rights to say they belong in malaysia, then the Malays don't have the right to claim that Malaysia belongs to them as well coz they came to Malaysia only about 500 years ago from Sumatera or whatever. The real natives are not Malays.

My mom is Korean and My father is French-Irish, My great grandfather was native american. One of the most beautiful features of asian women are their eyes, I'ts scary to know Asian Americans and Asians oversees are getting plastic surgery on their eyes to have a cease (a lid basically). This is so retarded, with me being half asian I look more asian than I do White, I notice other people that have one asian parent and look more White than Asian-It's all genetic, we don't get to choose what parents we are born to. We have to accept ourselves period!
