Hello people
Namaskaram, Vanakam and Namaste.
Here are 5 quick and easy tips to pamper and groom your divine asiatic black man.
1)get some bodyfying conditioner and shampoo into your guys thick rich hair and massage deeply with your fingers.
2)a fragrant smelling massaging oil such as Jasmine or Sandalwood will feel blissful on his mocha skin.
3)during sexual foreplay let your boy stick out his phallus from his zipper without fully undressing. This just adds a lot of kink to your lovemaking.
4)cut a slice of raw sour green mango, add a little salt and chili powder and feed it to him. Simply zesty.
5)Always insist that you get pampered in return.
Peace and love to everybody. Om Shanti
Enjoy

to bringittogether:

I think you exemplify several characteristics of the worst characteristics in AA Men. (Don't be going off on me now; you are a real Asian Male or I wouldn't even count you in as part of this statistic).
1. It's that In-Your-Face attitude that is so typical of the average AM who has to constantly prove his worth because he's surrounded by those who seek to dehumanize him to bring him down to their level and nullify his maleness to keep him from going after all their women.
2. You @#$%&* curse too much although I could certainly understand the reason for most of it. I think it's just the strutting male way of trying to get a word in edgewise when a woman is yaking on and on and on...
4. ...and let's not forget Thailand, a country that highly resembles India in culture and religion despite its geographically southeast Asian location.

Anne,

Actually I have found the reverse to be true. Indians who were born or grew up here deeply motivated to assimilate into western culture and often make proactive efforts to have all white friends. I have noticed that FOB's (especially those from India and China) seem to stick to themselves and don't get all bent out of shape when dealing with white Americans. Of course most of the Indian and Chinese FOBs I know are PhD researchers who are here to work work work and keep a low profile.

That list that I just put on there...I can swear that I being Indian...or any other Indian can relate to 3/4 of that shit...except the stuff that's really primarily East Asian.

So now...I'm hammering the goddamn point in for the last time...Indians are f***in' Asian. Except us the way we are. As we do you.

Raj...damn, what the hell did you say?...you stupid f***. Why did you cause all these evil tensions on this board.

Secondly...why is everyone so damn racist?

Why are some (South Asians) Indians on here hating on the East Asians...and some East Asians are hating on the Indians?

Godd*** don't you know we're all in this bitch together?...or have you people not figured that out yet? HELLO, we're in America...aka...white ruled.

I remember when the Rodney King riots happened in 1992...and the blacks were terrorizing the Korean stores for no reason. I though it was f***in' awesome that the Koreans took up their AK's and sh*t to whoop the blacks up if they came close. Especially the fact that the Koreans could do that in this racist ass country is incredible.

I have great respect for the East Asian cultures and their methods of protecting themselves...but most importantly...India/China/Japan/Southeast Asia in particular Vietnam & the Phillipenes...share a great common bond of not only being Asian but striving for success despite being f***ed over by the British and the French for years...

I just can't see why there's so much hostility between the East Asian and South Asian people. It's ridiculous and you guys who arguing over senseless sh*t have proved it.

Better looks?...better looks has nothing to do with race...

some people look just damn good...others are ok...and some don't appeal as much to others. So what of it?...who cares...

you people are making arguements that senseless KKK freaks would make like "sharp facial features, advanced civilization, science"...I though us Asians had more sense than that.

got rice?...Azn pride bitch...representin' the South Asian side...much love to my East Asian peeps...we out.
bringittogether Sunday, March 24, 2002 at 13:24:01 (PST)

Damn, where's that girl Jennifer Choi...what the heck do you mean that Indian guys won't date you...I think (East)Asian are by far maybe the hottest girls out there....(though I don't rank race)...but Asian girls in general...meaning those of East & South Asian decent are the most beautiful women in the world. No doubt about it.

I'm calling for an Asian Coalition damn it...

East/Southeast/South...we gotta get it together...and whoop some ass...oh, wait a minute...we already are...so let's whoop some more...
bringittogether Sunday, March 24, 2002 at 13:07:17 (PST)

I'm also disgusted to read this board where other Indians are saying they're of the "superior Caucasoid race."...Now that my friends is a bunch of b.s. We are in no shape or form...white. We have mixed in white features...but are far from being white. Any Indian who calls himself white is only kidding himself...we're way more Asian than white...but actually...we're 1/3 Caucasoid...1/3 Asian...& 1/3 Austroid. And the whole swastika symbol and Aryan thing has been stolen by Hitler from our people. That Nazi f***. He would kill all the Indians too...(do you think that he would count us as Aryans?)
bringittogether Sunday, March 24, 2002 at 12:06:26 (PST)

By the way...all Indians want to be fair-skinned and less hairy...we don't really want to be white...but I think we feel ousted because of our skin color...I think those who are East Asian...are awesome because they generally don't have too much hair and are light-skinned...I wish Indians had those two features.
bringittogether Sunday, March 24, 2002 at 11:59:54 (PST)

What is with this s***?

Look, there is no way that Indians are the "master race." Who in the hell came up with that idea?...I'm saying this and I'm Indian. Who said that crap in the first place...First of all I believe Indians are a mix of Aryan (Caucasoid) and Austroid blood (Aborgines)...and personally I have a strong feeling that Indians have at least 1/3 Mongloid blood in them from the Mongol/Mogul Empire...which gives them their small-medium-large stature. Like East Asians.....they are pretty skinny and like someone else said...no stronger or well built than any of the East Asian peoples. I would say the hair and facial appearence (and many fair skinned people) comes from the Caucasian side...while the stature/eye color (but varies)/hair color comes from the Mongloid side. The dark complexion comes from the Austroid side. This is the best classification I can think of. India is a mixture of races. Plus it is ridiculous to think that you think that we think that "we're the best" or something like that. I personally believe Indians are just trying to get a foothold as undeniably one of the 3 oldest civilizations on the earth (China-India-Persia= Asia). Indians are not respected for their achievements and I believe get really pissed off because of it. The East Asians don't count us as Asians (probably cause we don't look of Mongloid ancestry)...the blacks certainly don't count us as blacks cause' we're NOT black...and the whites think of us as whites instead we're "sand niggers." So what else is new from them right?...As an Indian...I'm proud to say first that I'm Indian...but I'm most proud to say I'm Asian...cause' we are and always will be.

Got rice bitch?...we do. we do.

Count us...we're in this bitch together....the (British) Europeans seperated our peoples from each other...it's high time we got back together and showed the world up. We certainly are kickin' a$$ in America in the model citizen and highest income categories. And everything else of course.

P.S....do Asian girls like Indian guys?....someone told me they don't. But I know damn well that I like Asian girls, they're hotter than hell. Seriously in terms of beauty...not that I rank um' or anything...I think Asian girls are the hottest out of all um'. Peace.
