View Full Version : "Curse of the Asian Man"
Here goes someone playing a poor victim again:
http://stuffthatisawesome.tripod.com/awesome/id26.html
An amusing rant. Even I feel sorry for the guy...
He wasted a lot of time making that page. I can't even get angry about the racist slurs. My wife might be another matter. Just try telling her she is abandoning her culture!
We have all been lonely in love once or twice. I wish him luck.
The ironic thing about this whole situation is that Asian Guys actually Kick Ass. We're smart, loyal, witty, innovative, goal-oriented, well-behaved, and contributing members of society who don't need to whine and have a parade (I'm looking at you Puerto, Rico) or a million man march just because we're a minority and opressed by "the man" and everyone needs to hear what a hard freaking life we have or how much pride we have because we're a minority or any other such nonsense like that.
actually the ironic bit is how many times he manages to contradict himself in one very long sentance.
of all the asian guys i know IRL, not one has this whiney little the-world-has-it-in-for-me attitude. feh blah :auch:

All I can do is this: :rolleyes:
I think it's obvious why he hasn't been lucky in love... :o Who wants anyone that acts like that?

I rest my case.
Also maybe it's because he has a small $#@*&. :D

I guess he himself only wants a white girl or an American-born asian. If he wants a traditional Asian girl, he can impress a lot of FOBs with his English or shows them around in the new country.
he just hasn't met me yet. :-)
I haven't met you yet. :D :p :sorry: :cool:

He better be careful, with that kind of complex he could end up pulling a Michael Jackson.
:blush:
When an Asian guy sees a white guy with an Asian girl, the typical reaction is punk ass fetish ************ and sell out *****. The Asian guy wonders what the white guy brings to the table that he doesn't have, and wonders why the Asian girl can't find what she wants in an Asian male. It makes us feel inferior. It makes us feel that she would rather disregard her culture than be with us.
Does that really matter to "stick to your ethnic group" in love ? That is in fact the kind of reasoning that makes me angry and want to call the guy "narrow-minded" or even "racist". One of the point of international marriages (at least for me) is to learn your partner's culture. "disregarding one's own culture" ? Why would it be the Asian woman who does that ? But anyway the guy is probably frustrated of losing his culture for being born outside Asia (in my understanding with his poiting to Puerto Rican, he lives in the US), so he can't even offer his "ancestral culture". Otherwise he wouldn't be making such bold statement about Asian women disregarding their culture.
The Asian guy wonders what the white guy brings to the table that he doesn't have
Taken literally, he is visibly talking about "money". I am almost disgusted by this Japanese (or East-Asian) obsession of equating money with a good marriage. It's like it was just a business deal. That reminds me of the joke with the countries' stereotypes (http://www.jref.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7217) about the Chinese, which MadPierrot forgot : On a beautiful deserted island in the middle of nowhere...
The two Chinese men have set up a pharmacy/liquorstore/restraurant/laundry, have gotten the chinese woman pregnant in order to supply employees for
their store.
Then, they wonder what love is all about. :mad: That's exactly why some Japanese women are looking for Western men. But then, look at what makes a "good man" for a more traditional minded Japanese woman in my "tayorigai" thread (http://www.jref.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7859).

The tayorigai link didn't work. Is it just my pasucon or is the link down?
OK, should be working now...

*sigh*
It seems that not only the Asian men have mixed up ideas on what marriage should be, but also the women. So, yes, don't forget what was said in the 'tayorigai' thread. It seems when something like this is brought up, those of us that are married to an Asian woman or man automatically want to take up for the one who is being criticized or side up with the one that is making the good point at whatever time. Everything we've come to realize, because of our very up close and personal situation, seems to fly out the window.
The point is that no one should go around picking someone because of their nationality. It's my opinion that anyone who's going to go around saying they want a person strictly based on their nationality is just narrow-minded and shallow.
maybe they were trained to be narrow-minded and shallow by their peers and the a-dolts around them....I've seen some people who fear ever leaving their home town because of this...demons forbid that they should ever leave their red-neck comfort zones for another country! :D
I don't believe red necks apply only to Americans living out in the stix.... :D

Anyone who's going to go around saying they want a person strictly based on their looks is shallower
Anyone who's going to go around saying they want a person strictly based on how much money they make or what kind of car they drive is shallowest.

Very true, Golgo.
I thought it was kinda funny...and a BBC friend of mine (British Born Chinese) has told me in the past he prefers seeing Chinese-Chinese to White-Chinese relationships. It's just how certain people, in particular all Asian ethnicities, not just Oriental, are brought up. Culture-wise, it's seen as unacceptable to go for anything outside of your race. And in the Western world, oppression like that no longer needs to be heeded, because the young generation has the freedom to do what they like.
That would probably explain why the guy sees so many Asian girls looking the other way, because they're tired of being pushed towards Asian guys, and want anything but that.
And let me be the first to say amen to that! :-P
It's inherent nature for humans to be attracted to and want to mate with someone very much different from you. Mammals produce better offspring if they breed from a larger gene pool.

Are you saying that Japanese youth has less freedom than Western youth ? I don't think so. The reason lies in the culture itslef that hasn't had time to evolve to cosmopolitanism yet. Another fact is that Japan and even more so other Asian countries (each at different level), are slower to adapt their way of thinking to societal changes.

A lot of guys from Hong Kong are like that but they don't say it. :D

A lot of girls from China (including Hk and Taiwan), Japan and Korea are like that but they don't say it. :D
The truth is...I would rather be a shallow person with lots of money than a profound person without any money. (^_^)
From my 31 years of experience as a human being, most beautiful women don't care much about poor men with really deep thoughts. But if you are a poor man with really deep thoughts and you are deeply in love with a beautiful woman, in most cases even the shollowest women are nice enough to return the favor by letting you to be their "guardian angel". i.e. chauffer, plumber, listener & etc. :blush:

Isn't that all that matters? If so, should I plugg into the Matrix?
Which would you choose, happy lie or cruel truth? Or is the truth not really cruel, but just seems that way, and the lie not really happy, but just blinding?

Watching poor William Hung performing on the Tonight Show last night (http://www.williamhung.net/) made me think of this thread.
I can't believe he doesn't realize he's just being made a big joke--a caricature, feeding into the negative image of the Oriental male on national television. I mean, he has NO singing talent, he has a really bad accent you could barely understand what he's saying, and IMO not much in terms of looks, and he has a CD out?!?!?!?!?! -- his album "Inspiration". WTF is that? There have been times when I turned down acting parts because I found them to be demeaning. If he really had talent I would support him 100%--I might even buy his CD.
It's one thing if someone like Hiromi Goh who really CAN sing and has good looks is also occasionally featured on TV, then people would see how there really are different types of Oriental performers. But they rarely get any exposure on TV and when they do, it's usually a joke like William Hung.

Hmm...this sounds very familiar. Ah, it reminds me of the person who's playing the victim!
I'm finally going to clue you in to the plight all Asian Men face. Have you ever noticed that an Asian Guy is never the stud on campus?

How is it familiar?
I welcome you to refute anything I said in my post. Mon frere.

But it's no fun to refute anything you said in your post. ( >_< )
I don't like to debate. It reminds me of Ping Pong Ball.
Anyway, I am going to retreat from this thread now. Ma soeur. (^_^)
William Hung's CD. Not a bad selection of songs. Too bad he can't sing.

I've read the article of him and I think there is quite a lot of exageration in it. I think there are enough things that we East Asians can be proud about.
Wow, how much more wineing can one do? If that is not trying to make people pitty you I dont know what is! What a waste of time for him to make that, no wonder e gets no girls! :p

In response to The Curse of the Asian Man:
You know that was a really long cry for help. After reading that disturbing article of his, I checked the FAQ section and found something that sums up his whole article.
Are you really as Racist / Sexist / Violent / Bitter / Evil / Arrogant as your website makes you seem?
Yes.
Yep, that about sums it up. Poor thing...with that attitude I'm sure all girls, regardless of ethnic background, will run in the opposite direction of him. I guess he'll catch on one day. Golgo, how do you find such articles?
It was posted in a Japanese Drama site's forum.
I know you mean "Student of Life" by your name, but try "jinsei" instead of "seimei" for "life". "Seimei" is used in matters such as life insurance. "Jinsei" is the life that someone lives as a day to day process. BTW, "inochi" is life spirit.
haha I read to here : "Is it because they're not as capable as anyone else? No, it's because God hates us." and just couldn't be bothered with reading the rest.. :D

I've seen enough asian guys being fascinated with caucasian women to believe this rant can go both ways.
Also, the guy has clearly not visited places where there are lots of asian guys - they're not any less successful in finding dates in university campuses (like my alma mater) than their caucasian competition.
haha i don't know which part of the world you live in but where i live, asian guys are always the stud.

Personally, I thought that article was pretty funny. And obviously, I didnt take it seriously, even though it had some truth to it. I think it really shouldn't be taken seriously by any one!!!! It was so racist and contradictory, dont even waste your time!! But I saw it as a form of amusement, at the least. =P
haha i don't know which part of the world you live in but where i live, asian guys are always the stud.
Including William Hung? :D
After all, he IS hung. :D
Funny site. I was very amused
