WHAT YOU SAY

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

Folks,

Please keep the thread messages as relevant to the category of this group. Last time I checked this group is still categorized as "AA Attitude to Hapas", not "AA Attitude to Full Asians". People who kept on mentioning there are plenty of good-looking 100% Asians, I agree with you guys and no hapas are here to deny that (even sometimes Jay has to agree on this). However, you can not compare apples with oranges. Hapas have their own unique of beauty and so are asians, but we're not here to discusss about this or that asian look better than hapas or caucasians. Please keep the subject matter as pertaining to this
board. Thanks you.

to korean guy and kimheesun:
so u mean to say that caucasian features are rougher? to me, no race is more "rough". all of u talk about beauty divided by race or mixes of race. Doesnt it really depend on the person? racial equality will be achieved only when people stop categorizing this way. and ppl, stop citing celebrity examples as proof that one race is more beautiful. are these ppl really indicative of their race? do all the ppl around u look like celebrities? stars arent a proper representation!!! really, it's all a matter of opinion. personally, i think kristin kreuk is prettier thaN Kim hee sun. that's my view. does it really matter? no.

Hapa's point of view:

I know what you're saying. i pretty much agree w/ what you said.

--------------

hm...may be i should take back something i've said. I didn't mean asians look better than hapas. Asians are beautiful and so are hapas.

Every race is beautiful. You just have to keep an open mind and look deeper.

From a hapa's point of view and HalfChyna Doll,

I know you're both trying to be PC, but everything isn't equal.

To the Koreans,

Singapore is a very small country with a lot of Chinese ethnocentrists. Often they would prefer to pick a full Asian than a mixed Asian or Eurasian in these kinds of popularity polls. It's a Chinese dominated society that still discriminates against non-Chinese and people of mixed race. Don’t even begin about Hong Kong. You Korean peeps might need to do a bit more traveling before you go off about your Korean superstars.
