Why do you rarely see mixed couples where the guy is of Asian descent?

I would find it interesting to hear if Another Brother, pgabriel, Rocket River or Timing have an opinion on this question...

 

That dude looks like a woman.

Still waiting for a reply from those who are usually very quick to point out what they perceive as racial bias (but only when their own race is concerned).

 

Thanks, never heard of that show before.

I don't know. Shouldn't they be just as aggressive when pursuing a girl no matter what race she is, Asian, black, white?

Another question...is it a form of racism if a black girl rules out dating an Asian guy?

 

That is the case I meant. I would be curious about your assessment/guess how high the percentage of black girls is who think that way or who simply do not consider Asian-looking guys at all, consciously or subconsciously. And I would like to hear if that percentage is the same as the percentage when it comes to considering black guys or white guys.

So you think that would be racist? Don't know if you ever spoke with any girls about this or about interracial dating in general. I am honestly just curious to hear more about this, and would like to learn more about African American girls' attitudes regarding this issue.

If I may make a guess here - and I might obviously be wrong - I would not be surprised if the percentage of black girls who would rule out dating an Asian guy is AT LEAST as high as the percentage of white girls who would not date a black guy. Are both things racism? Or is there a double standard?

Thanks.

 

I realize this was a joke, but - so the percentage of white girls that would date black guys is higher than the percentage of white girls that would date Asian guys?

I could crack so many jokes about this subject in so many different directions, but for once I am kind of seriously interested in a topic.

There is no current personal reason why I would have that interest, it is just something that I once thought about and that now came to my mind again.

Also, slightly unrelated, Another Brother, do you think from your experience that "on average", the ways of pursuing African American girls (in terms of how to approache them) are different (more/less direct, etc.) than those of approaching white girls or Asian girls?

By the way, thanks for coming to this thread.

 

Another Brother, I never mean to be uncivil to you, as I think you are one of the posters with a great sense of humor (I have downloaded some of your clips, too). I just think that there is only one area where you seem really totally unreasonable to me, and that is the issue of race relations, in particular any kind of perceived racial bias against black people, but I do understand that that must be caused by bad personal experiences. I just think that you are far from being objective or reasonable as soon as those issues come into play. But that does not mean I do not respect many things you say in other posts and I cannot laugh about many things you say. The only two threads where you really ticked me off were the "O.J. got off and I like it" thread and, to a lesser extent, the recent thread where it seemed like you would come up with anything to "get Kobe off", both of which seemed to be racially motivated to me, whether this is wrong or right.

One reason why I was interested in your opinion in particular is especially because of your high sensitivity when it comes to racial issues concerning blacks. I was curious if you could put yourself into the shoes of people from another race who might feel that they might be treated worse in a particular area just because of their skin color and physical characteristics. I understand that this is a different kind of racism, if at all, than government-sponsored racism, but for those affected, it can be very difficult as well, and I was curious if you and some others who are very sensitive with regards to racial issues could relate to that.

As a sidenote, I think one reason why I came up with that question is that, being in Asia right now, I have the impression that Asian girls seem to hit on me A LOT more than white girls or black girls ever did. I mean, I cannot really complain anyway, it just seems a lot more with Asian girls (never really had a relationship with an Asian girl, but with white, part black, Spanish, etc.). I am half Asian, some people see it, some people would not have had the idea, since I am relatively tall and the Asian features (eyes, hair, I used to have blond hair as a child) are more of a hint and my cultural background/upbringing is basically only German.

After thinking about it, I had to come to the conclusion that Asian girls hitting on me much more than white or black girls must have to do with certain conscious or subconscious choices/ruling outs that people make, based on their own race and the race of the potential mate. After some more thinking, I came to the conclusion that of all mixed relationships, the one with the Asian-looking guy seems to be the rarest one.

Then I was wondering what people think where this comes from. It cannot be the obvious joke that nobody has openly alluded to in this thread yet that Asian guys are supposed to have shorter weiners (by the way, I wonder if this is true, my suspicion would be that there might be racial differences, but they are rather marginal), but what is it then?

In summary [serious hat off], any girl that does not want to have sex with me on the first date or that in any way does not hit on me must be racist[/serious hat off] .
