ASIAN AMERICAN ISSUES
Are AA Women the Real Victims of Prejudice?
sian women get a free ride at the expense of Asian men. That's the received wisdom here in the U.S. This belief appears premised on the suspicion that American society sees Asian women as sexy exotics in need of rescuing from the cold clutches of Asian men who don't know how to smile except evilly.
The real victim?
|
Credit Hollywood for its tireless casting of Asian women as sexual accessories to white heroes while suppressing the very existence of Asian men except as unsavory paper tigers. Credit too the TV networks that uncover bevies of talking Asian women but rarely their male counterparts.
In fairness this media fantasy of the Asian race was partly inspired by recent history. Devastated and impoverished Asian nations sent tens of thousands of war brides and orphans, followed by several million desperate immigrants willing to hock their identities while toiling to build new lives.
Male-dominated societies toast new women as exotic sexual prospects while suppressing new men as an exploitable lower class or even enemy aliens. The women get all the breaks and the men get all the lumps. Even worse, the women have their heads turned and adopt a scornful attitude toward their own men. So goes the complaint of some AA men.
The women have a different take. Sexual predators bearing insulting stereotypes must be fended off while coping with women who see them as unfair competitors. Add to that the pain of being scorned as sellouts by AA men for no more reason than their apparent welcome by American society. Worst of all, complain AA women, is being begrudged the right to take simple pleasure in their own identities. How much easier just to face straightforward racial prejudice!
Do Asian women really have an easier time in America? Or do they suffer from the double-whammy of insulting stereotypes from non-Asians and unfair persecution from Asian men?

Pride guy,
"Guys like curves, then why do so many like skinny asians?" Unless I'm missing something, the shells are different but they're the same inside. Some are just a lot easier to get into to. I hope you can figure that out.
By the way, unless their fat or just broad/big overall, most AFs are the size of kids. Maybe yours are on steroids. I'm only 5'8" (no heavy weight) and feel most asians are too scrawny to be with. I think most will probably have problems in childbirth. I'd never know, but that's the way it looks.
Good catch on your 2nd last point (kind or ironic). I disagree with the WF don't want AM comment. It seems most simply aren't into making the first move.
AM like AF because they're mysterious? Is that a typo? why would your own race seem mysterious to you?

curious1; i'm going to stating my opinion and if your mad then there is nothing i can do about it.
you wrote,
"most WFs don't want AMs anyway".....
From experience and what I've see, I am going to say that maybe your right. And I don't care if most Wf, Bf or LF don't want asain men. Because this shows that I will then stick with my own and be happy about it. I have to let you know that I am around more Af than non-aF and they all love me. Gosh, ain't that good to be love by your own kind and it does feel god dam good.
I have also come across hot AF that doesn't go for anything other than AM. There are way more AF that loves THEIR AM. And don't worry they ain't gonna steal your man. They gonna stick with thier own kind. And again they love me and I love them too!!!

To all,
I don't want to stir things up!! But going back and reading the post I have new analization. I have to disagee with some of the argument and say that Maxdacat is the victim here. Seems like curious1 and wf dating AM is attacking him b/c maxdacat finds AF attracting. Correct me if i'm wrong but this is how i see it.
Since maxcadat brought up some quote, I though i should too,
"I definitely agree with you that most asian women are really snobby and arrogant even though the vast majority of them are just average."
I don't see this and I happen to be around a lot of asain women. This isn't true at all. I mean there are snobby asain women but there are also many snobby white women as well. Brittney Spears for example, you don't think she is snobby. Everyone seems to think so and she is the one who think that she is gods gift to women. There are a lot of women that are jeolous of her.
"Part of it is I think upbringing, from some posts that I've read here it seems like some asian parents bring up their kids to believe that white people are lazy, fat, stupid and smelly and that asian people have a much higher culture and that they're better than us."
This is just how you see it. My parents never taught me this and if one of the individual mention this in his quote then that is just him as an individual. Not all asain people think white people are like this. Sorry you have to feel this way. And it is true that we have higher culture but this doesn't make us any better. Sorry to say but you don't understand asains one bit.
"Curious1, I definitely agree with you. Almost all the AF's I've ever seen are built like preadolescents, stick thin, with almost no curves, no chests, no butt or thighs."
This is not true. I see asain females and they are smaller but aren't really stick thin. Maybe some of them are. But most of them do have curves. If they wear tight pants which most of them don't, you will see curves on them. They are sexy too. But... their curves are not like bf, wf, and Lf but it is defintly there. Anyway, isn't it ironic that most guys like curvey women and if asain women ain't curvy then why all the guys like them?
"Believe it or not, not all men are looking for stick figures to date, a lot of men really do appreciate curves on a woman."
Yes, your right not all man looks for stick figure but ironically many men seen to find them sexy. I agree with you that they aren't as curvey as wf, lf ,and bf but they do have thier own curves that drives guys krazy.
"And I believe (could be wrong) that he is an AM. It's not so much a slam against AFs as it is just an observation so I see that WMs who date them either have some Asian fetishism goin' on or they're pedophiles!!"
Sorry but why is that when a white man that goes after a AF they are pedophiles. This is pretty harsh to say to people. I'll give you both my anaylsis on the end.
"WMs know they have to face the wrath of black men when they go after black women so if they desire to date a non-white woman..."
To tell you the truth, this depend on the neighborhood they are in. If the white man is in a white neighborhood then they won't be afraid
of a black man's wrath. On the other hand if they are in a black neighborhood they will and who wouldn't. B/c most spanish and black men are sterotype as violent people. I am sorry to say this but it is the truth.
"I merely pointed out what I've seen. And bottom line (and you can argue it all you want) is that majority of AFs ARE built like preteens."
Again I agree that they don't have the body of a wf, bf, and Lf but they do have their plus side. They look slimmer with a little curves in the right places. And even though they aren't built like non-AW, ironically men still loves them.
"There are many AFs who want a white man,"
This is just somewhat true b/c ironically there are also those that i come accross that only date AM. And nothing else. There are also those that date AM and will hesitate on giving WM a chance.
"And yeah, the reason you don't see WFs doing it to AFs is b/c most WFs don't want AMs anyway."
o0o, really. And how do you know this. Maybe your right!! But let me ask you, why do you and WF dating AM choose AM anyway? Can you answer this question!!!!!!!!!!!!
"By the way, I also agree that many AFs do act like they are God's gift to man when in fact, the harsh reality is that many of them, while they may be attractive in the face, don't have much going on the side of a body"
I don't think this is entirly true. You might think so. Men seems to like asain women and it is why you think that they are god's gift to men. But there are a lot of "white women think they are god's gift to men. The reason why AM like asain women is b/c they find them mysterious, they like thier eyes, golden skin and exoctiness. This is the truth.
Over all from analyzing I think this whole argument is just plain ol jealousy. I will defintly fight for you ladies but what i'm doing is right. But if you gonna be piss at me then go ahead but this is how i feel.
