Well, the other question is, what kind of women do they want? Anecdotally, I’ve seen Asian-American men marry, but sometimes on the later end (over 30) when people are less likely to be superficial. As an outsider, it seems that many of them won’t marry someone their family disapproves of, which narrows the options.…

Why do they have no hope?

When the reverse happens, women bend over backwards trying to outdo each other for a man. Men in this scenario have less of an incentive to marry or make an effort in dating or in life. It creates a different set of problems.

Yes, although I don’t have this problem, I love all the jokes about how the rent is so high in NYC that people end up in atypical living situations.

Right, but some of us have been invisible much earlier in life.

Charlotte will get lots of media attention for being a female royal.

Same! At least the animal part. I’ve been enjoying animal documentaries recently.

I happened to see her perform in LA b/c the event was advertised w/ Kumail Nanjani, who was absent. Her impressions were great, and I thought the voice was part of her act. If it’s her natural voice, maybe she could use her impression skills for a different sound.

I agree about the stereotypical portrayals of Black women in his sketch comedy. I’d really like to know about his socialization. Did he grow up with his black relatives nearby? What was the makeup of his neighborhood and school? Did his perspective change when he left home and nobody automatically knew his background?

OMG, imagine if the gambling industry got involved in this!
