WHAT YOU SAY

[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]

You people need to stop generalizing so much here. (Most of you anyways!)
I'm Asian and I like guys of all different ethnicity (Asian, Caucasian, African American, Hispanic, Multiracial...whatever, it just doesn't matter) . As long as they are cute and attractive, it doesn't matter what they are. There are just as many attractive looking people from each different nationality as there are unattractive.

"Just look at Bruce Lee's bone structure. Look at his jaw line and cheek bones, most full Chinese don't have cheek structure like that.
Doesn't he also have pretty well defined & dark eye brows (a hapaish feature)?"

My dad has those features. He's 100% Cantonese. And my mother has wavey hair and freckles. She is 100% Chinese. Indeed, Asians come in different shapes, sizes, and features!

well some people prefer the asian look, and more prefer the hapa look. however, i think that everyone agrees that there are extremely unatrractive AND very attractive people of all races and mixes of races. i'm glad people aren't putting another race totally down like some people were. after all beauty really is the eye of the beholder. yeah i agree asian representation in the US media isnt fantastic as far as looks. there are alot of all-asian women more beautiful than say lucy liu and ALOT of guys more handsome than jet li. asian guys need some handsome asian guys on the screen to break all those effeminate asian guy stereotypes. asian guys can be totally hot, but really aren't portrayed as such.

it's not necessarily true that it's either the best or worse of both worlds. There are gorgeous hapas, ugly hapas, AND average hapas. hey we're like every other race.

Although I'm a Eurasian, I do agree that Asians are very beautiful. I find them very attractive. It doesn't matter what race you are. There are beauties in every race. But what's more important is personality.

I agree with korean guy, I am dating a Chinese man and he has perfect cheekbones, I'm so jealous! He has fabulous bone structure and eyebrows. And he is 100% Chinese.

Speaking of Koreans, pretty much all of my friends find Korean hapa girls (that we’ve seen or know) a lot more attractive than ‘most’ full Korean girls.

korean guy and others,

That's not my point. Take a look at most Chinese people you know from Hong Kong. Do many of them have longer faces like Bruce? I don't think so. Wait! You don’t have any Hong Kong Chinese friends. You only hang w/ your Korean clique.
I grew-up in an area that was over 70% Asian w/ a huge variety of Asian ethnicities. I've probably grown-up w/ more Asians than most of you.
Don't bring actors/models into the picture since they often have somewhat different features from the general population. Often models and actors in Asia aren't only one type of Asian, but often a mix of Asian ethnicities or Eurasian.

As for traveling to Asia, I’ve probably traveled to Asia to visit family and friends more than most of you on this board. Quite frankly, I’m not impressed. Often, the most attractive Asian women were either a mix of 2 or more Asian ethnicities (sometimes with a dash of European blood) or half Asian and half European.
Some of those Chindian girls in Singapore were pretty good too.

Save your Korean Pryde for someone else. Many Asian females I know (including some of my family members) were initially only interested in dating full Asians guys. Boy, did they make a turn around when they met a few of my hapa friends. BTW- their sisters are too cute!

As far as hapas being the trend. It seems like this trend is never ending. Look at some of minority beauties in American media: Halle Berry, Kelly Hu, Tia Carrerre, Kristin Kreuk. They’re all mixed race!
