Asian stereotypes - even here in Hawaii, the culturally-diverse state, there are jokes made about whatever stereotypes exist about every nationality. Uhh... no point, just thought I'd mention that. I guess we don't totally experience it like the mainland but it's there. Chinese - we're tight with our pockets, but who cares. I don't like bigots and whoevers who buy into stereotypes. Period.

As an Azian male,

Of course the stereotype that bothers me most is that we are perceive as incapable of giving love. How do we change this image vis-a-vis non-Asian females?

To my Asian brothers who study martial arts:
No matter what technique you use (be it Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Kung fu, Grappling, Gracie-jiu-jitsu etc.,) whoever hits the hardest wins! I always say the same thing to the brothers who gang-bang from america...you should fight against skinheads, neo^nazis and kkk people instead of warring on each other...

Hell Yeah to Assasin I agree with every word you said as Asian gangs are more stronger than ever. Most Asian gangsters aren't big guys but were just brazen and we got guts. Racists are gonna get hurt coz even western people hate racists scums and there are more asian and western mixture gangs being formed in every city. But I don't need no bodyguards to watch my back coz I'm just mad and if I run into trouble I've got my own crew who'll mess up anybody!
Mad Smoke to all Asian crews, stand up and fight the racists, don't back down and never be scared of anyone. If your an Asian Gangster then live up to ya name coz I sure did and still going strong.

CROUCHING TIGER, HORNY SAMOAN-
Hahaha, man you always crack me up!
It's always a nice to read one of your posts, bud.

tom ho- dude, it seems every few months there's a new “tom ho impersonator”. HAHAHAHA! Man, this is like the 3rd or 4th “tom ho” wannabe I’ve seen thus far… HAHAHA!!! This is soooooooooooooo funny! HAHAHAHA!!! I suppose the young Asian brothers think of you as the “Angry Asian Brotha”… haha…

“Asians will win the war in England against the skinheads. End this Racism people aint gonna stand for anymore rubbish. So all you nazi punks look out coz the asian gangs are getting stronger everyday. Take my word for it. Ha Ha when they go down is when I'll shout for victory!”

ASSASSIN, I think you’ll love Hawaii. There’s no such thing as skinheads there. Any White kids that start becoming “skinhead wannabes” will either get pounded on by a gang of Filipinos or get slapped silly by a group of Samoan girls. LOL!

Big Asian Man,
You know what . . . I haven't been to this site in such a long time. I'd almost forgotten about coming back.
And because you asked, yes, you may call me sweetheart. I think it is very considerate of you to ask before assuming it is okay. I am so tired of hearing guys refer to me as "boo" or "baby," and the pick-up lines that I've heard are beginning to get a little on the tasteless side. Anyway, if you have questions, ask away. I'd really like to know. I'm actually rather intrigued. Am I waiting for Mr. Right? Well, I'm certainly not looking for Mr. Perfect. Or rather, he might not be perfect to others, but if he's right for me, then I guess he will be Mr. Perfect. I'm not the kind of girl that wants to jump from one meaningless relationship to another. It's a waste of time for both parties. I do make friends and have plenty of associates though, male and female. What about you? Are you waiting for Ms. Right? Drop me a line when you have time. Take care of yourself and I'll keep a look out for your questions. Have a good night and a great week.

that's just some idiot using my name.

Asian Male/Tom Ho,
Touche! In your dreams, perhaps. However, as you are more attracted to your own sex/gender, please don't pull me into your conversations with others of your own kind. Thanks in advance.

Toisan Girl..

You are lame I have read that statement somewhere else and I know for damn sure that you didn't write that originally. Why do you have people on here upset about that comment that you supposedly stated. When you know good and darn well that you never even thought of that comment. You are a poser. That isn't cool at all.

Who Are You???
Who Are You??? Monday, July 16, 2001 at 03:00:01 (PDT)

Why can't all the females just strip and dance for all of us. This needs to happen everywhere, not only will business rize but so will the economy, It will benefit everyone!
It has to happen otherwise the aliens are going to take all our women then we'll never be able be satisfied. It's the truth so to ALL Females - STRIP NOW OR SAY GOODBYE TO EARTH!
JJK Monday, July 16, 2001 at 02:20:40 (PDT)

To Miss Secret I love that name by the way. I'm just fascinated that both western and asian sexes are dating each other, I think it's great that western women love asian men and vice verser. I am attracted to both western and asian women but I find that with western women have an exceptional array for humor, intelligence and are passionate when it comes to romance. My parents always wanted me to settle down with an asian girl but I didn't want that, it's not that I'm not attracted to them, I have nothing against asian girls I just love being with an western women more because of there approach to sarcasm, there wonderful sense of humor and there warm down to earth self really sends sparks all throughout my body.
I just like to wake up one day and be lying on the bed infront of the nice sunlight of the window and be comforted with my beautiful western wife and adorable eurasian kids and just loving life. Though Miss Secret I am curious about how a special girl like you is not with someone or are you waiting for Mr Right. I have other questions that you'll find interesting take care and sweet dreams sweetheart, can I call you that.
BIG ASIAN MAN Friday, July 13, 2001 at 21:14:41 (PDT)

To Alma I agree with you that toisan girl knows very little about black men and she just can't admit that asian men aren't the best in bed. Eventhough there are a lot of people that Stereotypes against Asian Americans as I said in my comment under MLK's comment below I still have contact with asian homosexuals that I find gain greater acceptance for they are and believe me the are good in bed. I still agree with alma that black men are better in bed. So Toisan girl you need to be mature about the issue, get your facts straight and just be a lady rather than a boy o.k

Asians will win the war in England against the skinheads. End this Racism people aint gonna stand for anymore rubbish. So all you nazi punks look out coz the asian gangs are getting stronger everyday. Take my word for it. Ha Ha when they go down is when I'll shout for victory!
ASSASIN Tuesday, July 10, 2001 at 02:55:44 (PDT)

To Alma you are the one that doesn't know much about black men, I've had many boyfriends that were black men and they treat me right and I give them what they want and they love me for that. I never put them down to make asian men look good ok. So why don't you take a good look at yourself rather than trying to correct me because I know I'm right ok bitch!
Toisan Girl Tuesday, July 10, 2001 at 00:57:42 (PDT)

Just because I'm part Chinese, it dosen't mean I can fly and kick fifty four times in the air like my man Jet. C'mon fella, I'm a proud man but even I can't do that sh*t.
Just because I'm Samoan, it dosen't mean I'm going to beat you up, go pray like a saint at church like nothing happened, then come back the next day and beat you up again. It ain't like that, my friend!

CROUCHING TIGER, HORNY SAMOAN Friday, July 06, 2001 at 08:47:34 (PDT)

Tom Ho,
Be a real man and address your own "bitching" to a particular person rather than the entire female species. I hate to think about how you talk to your mother and your wife (I hope your parents have taught you better than this and you are merely venting a temporarily heated opinion). I would also hope that by rubbing shoulders with the various intelligent gentlemen on this site, you will be influenced in a more positive way. Otherwise, you're just another loser who can't handle the truth.
MLK Monday, July 02, 2001 at 14:19:35 (PDT)

It's bad enough we got people complaing about issues but when females yap on it's a real annoying headache. There are alot of bitchy females that think there in the right but once they know the truth they can't handle the fact there wrong in the first place. Really Stupid.
When are females ever gonna act as ladies rather than dumb girls. Think about it it might even lead you on to a better job such as a hooker. Ha Ha good luck out there!!!

chinese drug traffickers need to be punished for the amount of drugs they bring in. No excuses for them, there pathetic and a bad name to all asians and they are the reason why so many people are dying on our streets is because of the drugs they bring in. Everybody knows it except no ones got guts to speak the truth. Asian criminals are gonna be punished severly and when it happens don't say nobody warned ya!!!
JJK Saturday, June 30, 2001 at 00:38:56 (PDT)

why are asians and whites always fighting, when are we all gonna respect each other and sit down and talk about things rather than beat each other till someone ends up in the hospital.
The violence that's amongst us needs to STOP! People need to grow up and act more civily, all these stupid groupies need to stop trying to prove a point and instead make a point with reason..(from there little brains).
Geez it's bad enough that racial groups exist with the young teenagers but for it to continue on into adult life really proves that males and females don't mature till there 30 years old coz if they were mature then they wouldn't go around picking fights as LOSERS...Would they?
What a Man Saturday, June 30, 2001 at 00:33:25 (PDT)

Here are some annoying stereotypes.
1) You're Chinese, so you're a communist.
2) You're Asian, so you're either Chinese or Japanese in which case they say, "good food" or "nice cars" respectively.
3) In Cambridge (MA), people ask you if you know this Chinese guy they're friends with from California.
4) "Where are you from?"
5) You're Chinese, so you can do kung fu. "POW"
6) You're Asian and therefore, your SAT Math is better than Verbal.
7) You're Chinese so you gotta know what "JIA WAHLEMUCHI" is. Some bizarre phrase they slaughtered and heard once on the street 2 years back.
