Believe me, I've done my part to slay the small penis stereotype. With my bigger than average wang I've rocked plenty of non-Asian women on the West Coast.

The reality is that Asian women do more to perpetuate the sexually available stereotype more than anyone else does !
It's done unconsciously but done nonetheless. Why don't you shut up about it already and it may just go away !
Actually, I know that there are some Asian women out there who quietly enjoy the stereotype when it suits their purposes. The reality is that every man walking the planet it not interested in getting in your panties.

There will always be stereotypes of any culture. But some are just more offensive than other. Yes, about women being "sexually available" just kills me. I'll be walking around in the mall lets just say. And you see other men checking you straight up an down. And its the look where you just know what they're thinking. That we're exotic horny asian women. And we're going to jus give it up.
Another point! Asians are not all smart dorky bookworms. But yes from our culture, asian backgrounds have higher standards.

blah blah blah..don't stereotype! Thursday, January 10, 2002 at 13:34:14 (PST)

Any woman would be "sexually available" to a man whom she really wanted/loved. I think saying "easily sexually available to any man" would express the offense better.

Enter My Dragon :
I think it is wrong to judge a person by race. And i fully agree with you that it is not fair to say all asians have small packages.
If the internet has taught us anything,it is that not every man is created in the same way. And Im glad because now i know that not all african american men are hung like horses, and i have seen a pic or two of a well built asian!

I hate the small penis stereotype. It's not something you can really prove or disprove unless you whip your dong out and slap the fool around with. Of course, no one's ever said it to my face, but you know how the rumor floats around. That's when you go after the guy's female relations.

muHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Quiet, submissive, shuffling steps, geeky with buck teeth & slitty eyes! And, ignorant manners. Stereotyping orientals!!!

I have to admit that a number of mainland Chinese (peasants/farmers)fit this stereotyping. Ugh! I can't even stand that.

that we cannot stand up for our own women.

I really hate it when guys of other races just come right up and try to make a hit on the girl I am with in my presence (like I wasn't there or something???). This happens less when I am with a non-AF. Why???
it's not right!!! Monday, December 17, 2001 at 20:08:41 (PST)

you're so right!! I saw Oceans 11 and thought it was fun to watch except that the only stitch in the whole stupid plan put only the asian guy at risk, and he was a puny contontionist to boot. How irritating.
hmmmph! Monday, December 17, 2001 at 17:22:47 (PST)

You guys should see "Ocean's Eleven". That PROVES that all Chinese (i.e., Asians) are short. Yes, I'm being sarcastic.
dumm ass Wednesday, December 12, 2001 at 23:33:09 (PST)

I'm sick of the comments that asians like to eat dogs. I find really annoying if its true to a small extent. I mean, do we say Americans are rat-eaters since some southern Americans eat possum and beavers?
