A straight guy's perspective:

Asian masculinity is often so derided in American society that nobody wants to identify with it. It's not surprising that a half-Asian like him who looks more White than Asian would try to disown the racially less desirable part of his heritage.

Of course he did. He was half-Asian himself and probably loathed that side of him. It almost certainly didn't help that his dad was White and mom was Asian, which likely greatly emasculated his Asian male identity.

Would you mind sharing more of your story? I'm very interested in it.

Glad you brought this up. Personally, I think the guy looks way more White than Asian, but I'm sure that he had serious identity issues.

This Elliot Rodger was a disturbed racist. He was also biracial with a White dad and an Asian (Malaysian) mother. I don't think we can ignore this combination which, in my experience, tends to surface with some frequency.

Some guys hate it when girls get plastic surgery because they think it's a form of "cheating" that lets the uglies get the same benefits as the beauties. For these guys, beauty is such a valuable commodity that they only want it in its purest and most natural form. A girl with plastic surgery, even if it's well-done,…

"Dick feelings." LOL.

I thought that the stereotype was that guys go for looks while girls go for status.

Honestly, I think there's a lot of jealousy involved.

Nothing ever disappears on the internet. People who honestly thought they could broadcast porn over some douchey app without it being stored in some creepy database are idiots.

Since we just accept German and Italian Americans as "White," it'd be weird in our contemporary context.

I'm not even sure what we're debating anymore.

Not if I were Italian.

What about Russians with British accents (e.g. "Enemy At The Gates," "Anna Karenina")?

I'm pretty sure if Idris Elba or Godfrey Gao starred in their own romantic comedy, tonnes of women would come see it, even if the movie sucked.

Yes, it's a "Better deal" situation, but here's the reality:

Because only Whites can be individuals. Amirite?

I think so too. I'm Asian and my girlfriend is White. Maybe it's just confirmation bias now because of my own relationship, but it seems that many of my Asian male friends are also in similar types of relationships.

People drop $50 on a meal and drinks, but then whine about the extra few bucks that a good tip will cost them.
