to pure-bred asian
So does this mean that culture is the key and not race? Does this mean that if a WM who has been living in Asia for a long time marries an AF and the couple raise their children in the Asian fashion, the children are considered...pure-bred Asians even though they are half-caucasian and half Asian? What about an Amerasian or a Euroasian who has been raised up purely Asian within an Asian family but living amongst a Caucasian community?
Bear up with me a moment, because I want to understand your definition of "pure-bred" before I venture my possible thinking on this, else I might be rattling off my tongue about a misconceived idea and making absolutely no sense at all.

Personally the stereotype that bothers me the most is that AFs are small breasted. Though the only persons I have ever known to have implants have been my white girlfriends, people are only suspicious of me. I can't tell you how many times I've been asked if mine are fake (even from fellow Asians) yet I have never had anything done. Is it thaaaaat hard to believe an Asian female has a naturally voluptuous figure??????

response to - "Most other races women told me it is not the physique nor the presumed sexless character of Asian men that turns them off, but it's just that our society has not yet been able to see the Asian male facial features as something attractive. The paradox of it is that Asian women's face are considered beautiful while the men's are not. What's up with that?
pisses me off"
blame that directly on the media that glamorizes asian women as exotic flowers and asian men as asexual kungfu masters. stupid. movies are powerful... you leave the theater with images in your mind. remember romeo must die? jet li only 'hugged' aliyah. wtf? in a real life interview aliyah said jet was sexy and she was interested until she found out he was married. interesting, but then again some black women do like asian men. i have personally had the experience.

MLK,
the stereotype I dislike is that people think we all would be satisfied by a "mongrel" culture. I mean, race isn't that
much mixed, but culture is.
From my point of view a mongrel is a person who lives a lifestyle that is not
suitable to his/her temperament.
Maybe the fascination for one's own race
has to do with the lack of people who share one's features: I lived among whites for a long time and found out that I don't wanna "get mixed".

to pure-bred asian
How pure do you have to be to be considered a pure-bred (as opposed to being a mongrel or a mutt)? Do intra-racial Asians count as pure or are they mongrels? If a Vietnamese man married a...hmmmm a Burmese woman (she's still considered an AF, right?) would their children be considered pure-bred Asians...or mongrels? What if a Chinese woman married a Spaniard-looking Phillipino man (he's an AM in my book). Would their kids be mutts?
Just curious.

Thanks for the compliments. I would add that asian women look young and age very gracefully. They also tend to retain their youthful figures way beyond the ages that are considered youthful.
