kejaris,
I know that was an honest question, but the fact you are SO in the dark about why an Asian woman would actually PREFER ASIAN MEN is so typcial of white and black American men -- and that is in turn very disturbing.
I think that the assumption that Asian women would be somehow 'automatically open' to dating whites and blacks is because of the stereotype of the Asian women being 'easy'. What a load of baloney!
Some definately are, and I don't deny that. But it is a pretty small percentage. Most are very conservative and because of that very reason, they are more apt to date within their race (and even then within their own ethnic groups) than white or black men. That's just the way it is.
I mean, people these days make such a big deal about the increasing number of black men dating white women, white men dating Asian women -- but the fact is that the OVERWHELMING number of Asian women and white women stick to their own. The percentages of IRs are indeed growing (esp. white men and Asian women and Asian men/white women, probably b/c in general they Asians and whites are on closer socio-economic levels than with blacks), but it's not reaching epidemic proportions as some dumb-ass muckrakers like to advertise. Gimme a break.
And just the same, most black and Latin women stick to their own. It's what they're more comfortable with.
So if an Asian chick or a Latin chick or a white chick turns you down -- THEY ARE NOT BEING RACIST. Well at least, you have to give them the benefit of the doubt. (And if they are indeed not dating you coz they are prejudiced, they did you a favor. You don't need trash like that in your life.)
I mean, let's say that you're not attracted to black chicks, and some black chick accused you of being racist when you turned her down. How the hell would you feel? I think when it comes to IR dating, men need to calm the fvck down and remember that it ain't nothing personal, 99% of the time.
It ain't about race, either. If you're a very good looking Asian or black man, white chicks will DEFINATELY consider your offer. As will Latin women with a hot white guy. In this day and age, interracial dating is not that big a deal (I won't say anything about marriage, though). If you're attractive to a different race woman, she will date you.
But on the other hand, if you're not attractive to her, or only marginally so, then she will have to over look that fact and consider many other things before agreeing to see you. Things like:
- do we have friends in common?
- is he some dumb perv with a race fetish?
- is he worth my (conservative) folks throwing a fit over?
- how long have I known him?
- etc. etc.
And sometimes.... it's just not worth the effort. She might not have the patience. Or she isn't THAT tired of her current BF to consider all those damn factors just to go IR.
So kejaris and others.... it isn't THAT unnatural that some of these Asian girls might choose familiar Asian boys and the Latin girls their Latin men. Give them and us (Asian guys) some respect. We hold our own, and you have to respect the choices of Asian and Latin and black and white women. That's just the way it is....
Well, I'm just going on and on about this stuff b/c I had the exact same debate with a white girl (platonic friend) not long ago. We got into the whole 'why women might reject a man if he is from a different culture' thing, and those are the answers we came up with together. I think they're pretty solid, and fair to both sides.
What do you think?
