Still way more accepted and celebrated than other pairings. Just look at cultural works and real-life. It's a constantly promoted pairing.

White Guy-Asian Woman relationships are pretty much the most tolerated and accepted of all interracial relationships.

It's not just about minutes but about the role that you're told to play. It's no coincidence that Lin's best games as a Rocket—games in which he put up numbers that were reminiscent of Linsanity—were when either Harden was out or played less of a ball-dominating role.

Players are given millions (and not even including endorsements) for a few good games at the college level. So if a guy does it at the superior NBA level and sets records while he's at it, what's the big moralistic outrage about a team investing in that?

Lin has proven to be a solid NBA player who's a bit overpaid (probably warrants around a $5-6 million). Hardly a flash in a pan.

Lin's salary cap hit is only $8 million. It's disingenuous to say that he's costing the Rockets $15 million now because in the first two years of his deal, he was only making $5 million with a cap hit of $8 million, but NOBODY was saying that he was a pretty good deal at $5 million. Instead, the common criticism was…

Yes, but the contradiction is that many of these bro-ey young men probably don't want to live a life of sexual abstention. Yet in a world with limited abortion access, the consequences of premarital sex will be much greater. So are they willing to either abstain from sex or always be there to help the mother raise the…

It's always a bit perplexing to think that a bunch of young males who think they are entitled to rampant sex can also hold very stringent views on abortion and maybe even contraception.

Generally speaking, as a mid-tier team, you always want the top dog in your group to beat your rivals.

English hype. Rooney was/is a very good player, but had he not been English, he would've been "merely" considered a top 5 striker in the world, as opposed to a potential savior of a nation who could single-handedly will his country to victory as Maradona did.

Let's not forget that despite this win, the U.S. lost to Poland 3-1 in their 3rd match and had Korea not beaten Portugal, the U.S. would've been eliminated at the group stages.

If you've "played by the rules," why do you get "caught?"

Italy in 2010 was pretty funny. It was statistically the weakest group in the entire tournament and they finished last. They even had to dive against mighty New Zealand to steal a draw. And then they were felled the legendary Slovakia, a country that was making its WC debut.

It's because when he broke the rules, there were no consequences for his actions. He'd be sent off for the next game? There wouldn't even be a next game for him to miss if he doesn't use his hands. He hands took away a 100% goal and merely gave Ghana a 75% chance of getting what was rightfully theirs.

In this thread: A bunch of White guys suddenly becoming ardent feminists because they think shitting on Asian men will help them score with Asian girls.

I didn't even know this was a thing. But yeah, it's wrong.

Sad thing is that he probably normally gets away with this type of behavior. If he had 32 matches to mass-text, then he's probably a pretty attractive guy. Unfortunately, a lot of guys are only as nice and respectful as they have to be, which is why you get a proliferation of attractive jerks.

If this were even a legitimate argument, how would these women force their boyfriends to marry them? Last time I checked, it was still social convention for men to propose, not the other way around.

Haha, knock yourself out. I'm just for equal opportunity love/hate of "food products."
