That's not really why for most of us though.

I can't understand that at all.

Not to say their criticisms are always unfair; I mean, if I was a guy I would definitely NOT date me.

It's not a "guy" thing. It is most definitely an Asian guy from my or other East Asian cultures thing. (I cannot speak for SEAsians or Indians; I don't know many, and all the Indians of either gender barring 2 that I knew were dating other Indians). White guys who aren't racist generally don't go "white girls are…

Also: There are a shit-ton of expectations on Asian men too.

The women in my sidenote were talking about a very specific group of Asian men they wouldn't date, but used unspecific terms that made it seem like they were talking about all Asian men. Which is an entirely different beast from AAW who refuse to date AAM. Its close cousin, but definitely a different creature.

lol wut?

It wasn't bullying. You said something terribly shitty and got called out for it. Instead of apologizing, you just got more and more defensive.

Not sure why Callie called it a geisha costume. It is plainly NOT a geisha costume, and assuming everything Asian has to do with geishas is a bit more offensive to me than Katy Perry's schtick, tbh.

White 'Murricans are usually pretty hairy compared to Asians.

The other thing you don't realize is, by the time we say something, it's already gotten pretty bad. If we brought up our concerns every single time that would literally be all we did in life.

I don't think "open your eyes" is a helpful suggestion at all. It's like telling someone with depression to "be happy".

Neither of them would have a chance. I don't like guys who go after me, period. I have to like them first or it's a no-go. But if I was normal, then possibly. But if the other was smarter, that definitely trumps accent.

Ugh, one of those "I am color-blind" people. Just because it's not your problem doesn't mean it's not a problem. Your molehill is someone else's mountain to climb.

Yeah, people talking about how blue eyes and blonde hair are gorgeous squick me out as well. Especially talk about hair texture. I don't think there's anything wrong with saying "you have gorgeous blond/black/red hair", but when you generalize it, it just sounds.... idk, kinda wrong and weird.

I think you and soooooo many others have one thing confused:

And what features should Asians be promoting?

It's not ceremonial or anything. Though you do have to be careful of what other things you stick chopsticks in, like never straight up in rice. It's also rude to stick it through stuff.

I don't think female ribs are in general weaker than male ribs... could he have been overzealous about fighting a girl and not wanting to seem as if he's going easy on her? Taking out anger on having to fight a girl? Would the results have been the same against a similarly sized and skilled boy?

She's not a friend, she's an acquaintance.
