T H Lien:

Since Helena is only a little over 2 months old, I don't think I have to worry about you coming over and asking her on a date! The gun remark is a bit of a joke on the fact that I am going to be a protective father when she gets older--like most fathers who love their daughters would be. However, at the same time I want her to be strong and independent, ready to take on the world too. Yeah, I know--typical oxymoronical view Fathers have when it comes to their daughters, but that's just human nature.

I will say this much--any two month old like Helena who sits on her/his dad's lap watching baseball, raises their arms everytime the home team is up to bat and stretches in the middle of the 7th is showing flashes of phenomenal brilliance.

"he never said ALL asain women r ugly. just most."

That's cool...because I never said ALL Asian women are more beautiful. just most." :)
------------------------
"well maybe U wouldn't be offended if somone said that white people are superior to black people, but I would be."

I would be very offended if someone said that white people are superior to black people. However...I have no right to be offended if someone just said that they find white people to be prettier than black people. Just like I have no right to be offended if someone said that they prefer red hair over brown hair.
------------------------
"its just sad to insult ppl w/ small eyes that's all."

It is very sad to insult ppl w/small eyes. I don't feel that what I said was insulting to people with small eyes at all. Maybe you are the one thinking lowly of small eyed people because you instinctively label anything that has the words "small eyes" in it as insults.
-------------------------
"and yes i think what he said was as offensive as what u said about hapas. "

Confused. I didn't say anything back all this time that you have labeled me as "offensive" to hapas. But since you are making it a habit...I'd like to know why. I never said hapas are not attractive...I simply exercised my freedom of speech and said that I PERSONALLY find pure Asians to be prettier.
-------------------------
Okay... I'm glad that we have reach a conclusion.

TH Lien:
actually i'm not really pro or con on it. like many things, it's mostly how it is in context. it depends on the person. as a girl, yeah long eyelashes are a lil annoying when wearing compact sunglasses and they get stuck together sometimes. yes the "mr." is quite strange, but we mere mortals must bow down to the bullet. also, i'm an exception to your experience. I'm an American-born mixed Asian who isn't intimidated by people who speak an Asian language at all (maybe because i kind of can), isn't part of an Asian-American clique (but has Asian and white friends), yet doesn't avoid Asian-American clique people or other Asians in the least. Just wanted to let u know that there are many people like me out here! I sympathize w/ your email abuse. My email also has been bombarded with undesired pornographic material. i feel your pain.

I have two beautiful nieces: one is German-Chinese; the other, Japanese-Chinese. They are both so beautiful and precious to me. I never think one is better than the other. They are both so wonderful and delightful.

"Bruce Lee was 3/4 Asian and 1/4 German"

OH MY GOD, Bruce Lee was 100% Chinese!!!!! Where did ppl get this idea he was mixed? In fact, he was Cantonese!! His grandparents were traveling actors/actresses in China until the civil war. His parents were one of the earlier Chinese immigrants in California that came soemtime in the 1900s. Bruce was born in the U.S. but was returned by his parents to Hong Kong b/c life for a Chinese here back then was hell. He then came back to America as an adult.
Please do some research!!!!!
