When I was younger I thought that Asians and Africans were similars in the way they were different from the "white oppressor".Then I began reading some books about Japanese culture and I learned many things (or stereotypes I don't know):
First, for the majority of Japanese the most beautiful people in the world are white -especially blue or green eyed- caucasian people.
Second, for this same majority the cliche of the "black gorilla" is still alive especially for 40 y.o. people and up.For youngers Japanese people we appears as "cool guys" representative of the hip-hop culture.

Any Japanese women -especially those who were born and raised in Japan- can confirm or invalidate this questions please?

I don't think if it is the same thing in the USA but in France, my country Japanese parents accept almost all unions between their Child and Caucasians people although they refuse it more often when it is with Black people.
Why? Maybe that's because most Japanese have an inferiority complex about White people? Maybe They feel as Caucasians's slaves when they deal with Black people?And maybe they feel strong when they deal with Caucasians?

Please tell me if I'm wrong.

PS:Excuse me for my difficulties in English,but I'm only 18 y.o. and studying Japanese and Swahili.

To whom it may concern: I thought that this site was cool when I 1st found it about 4 months ago, but it sucks now because no one writes, and no one writes because there were not enough asian chix writing in, just a bunch of guys, talking about everything else but the delightfully taboo topic of black male and asian female relationships, this site would really rock if for one, more asian chix wrote in, and 2 more postive people started writing in period, I am a very capable, very educated, and very proud black male age 27 and attractive or so I'm told, and I do understand that there r a lot of racist fux out there that hate black people, especially bright one like myself, but I'll tell u this, I have dated tons of fine asian chix and suffered from a few racist views here and there, but 4 those of u black men out there that like asian women, keep an open mind and don't be desperate, you don't need them, u want them, and if they reject u, f*** em, you're better than that, have some self esteem, I've dated many different races of women (primarily asian), and they were all beautiful, and the 1 thing they like most about me was my self confidence, I don't need some stuck up b*tch that thinks she's all that, by the time she comes 2 her I won't want her, I said all that to say this, be true to yourself, love yourself strive 4 success, then the chix will come 2 you, trust me.

I'm from Chicago. My name, online is A'sahel Martyr. My ex-girlfriend was Japanese. It has been seven years since I've had another girlfriend of Asian decent. Me personally...I LOVE ASIAN WOMEN. That is just my taste. I find them so attractive. Better than whites.If there are any Christian Asian women out there who are interested please contact me.

BigMike,
I know exactly what you're talking about. My girlfriend is Korean, and she makes it prime directive to latch onto my arm whenever we go anyplace. I attempted to buy us a couple cinnabons at the mall, I went up to pay the girl, and our arms broke apart for like two seconds...she dashed right back up to me and clicked right back on....lol. I'm not complaining per se, but I know what you mean, though.

irubya,

So Asian women mostly date Asian men out of family obligation. Implying they date Asian men out of cultural pressure or fear from thier parents. The off chance that two Asians might actually be attracted to one another on a persoanl level never entered your pea sized brain did it.
Maybe you've been "left out" because your not that sharp.
