there are too many assbags like this guy who have fetish fantasies and in their delusional minds, having a fetish for a group of people is the highest form of flattery, when it's the complete opposite

I don't have much to add to this discussion at this point, but I wanted to say that you' make some excellent points here — among other things, the fact that there are a lot of cultural forces at work that wrongly contribute to the idea of Asian men as unattractive partners. And that it's kind of a perverse reaction…

I'm sort of embarrassed that I've spent all this time trying to respond rationally to comments like yours — as you clearly are determined to believe the strange things that you believe, no matter what.

You seem strangely invested in the idea that most Asian women choose white men out of some weird, soap-opera-ish calculation — "Marrying this awesome white guy is my ticket to wealth and prestige." Either you think I'm lying when I say none of the Asian women I know have done this, or you think these women are just…

I appreciate this thoughtful response and I understand the issues you're raising. (In particular, I appreciate that you're discussing this in a pretty objective way, without reducing it to "Asian women fetishize white men" or "Asian women seek out white men to facilitate their social climbing.")

That's one of the best uses of a GIF I've ever seen.

Clearly you still don't understand. Saying that I (as an Asian woman, OR AS A WOMAN OF ANY OTHER ETHNIC BACKGROUND) have dated men whose ethnic background basically mirrors the ethnic breakdown of American society in general is an exact refutation of the idea that Asian women disproportionately choose white men. …

Although this is probably a long-dead thread, just wanted to clarify that "30% other ethnic backgrounds" includes Asian men. Sort of odd for you to assume that it means "non-white, and non-Asian."

Sigh. I accidentally recommended this horrible post, and can't seem to unrecommend it for some reason. Anyway, you're an ass. Asian women don't fetishize white men. The fact that many Asian women in America are with white men is simply explained by the fact that the majority of men in America are white.

There is so much to love in this comment. The perfect, detailed narrative, ending with the awesome last line. The use of the word "portly," which is just perfectly descriptive and oddly gentlemanly. You are very funny.

Thank you for linking to this. I thought it was wonderful. So much of what she says is — I don't know, like a light that quietly goes on and you see all these things that you should have been aware of the whole time. Like when she says that her current classmates take education for granted, and that (for them, and…

Yes, absolutely. It's awful to think of all the kids out there who could do so much but will never have the chance.

The way the one penguin-dog turns its head (with the orange tufts on top) is just amazing. I can't decide how best to describe it — majestic, or disdainful, or suspicious, or something else entirely. Whatever it is, it's better than pretty much anything else.

Wow. There's something kind of diabolical about that.

I find it hard to believe these dogs didn't have some help removing the faces of the stuffed animals. But I don't care. I love the shots of them wearing the stuffed animals. I am a grim, humorless person who rarely actually laughs out loud at random internet things, but I laughed almost to the point of tears at the…

I can't describe in words how jealous I am of you. This dog is adorable and sounds awesome.

That face. And those soft floppy ears. Your puppy is unbearably cute.

Sinead was so beautiful in those days (Lion and the Cobra, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got) that it was really almost shocking. And her voice was astonishing.

Recommending this just for the Oxford comma.

I have nothing worthwhile to add. Just that I agree with this in every way.
