what legendofmax said is completely true. im an asian girl, but ive tended to prefer caucasian males [all happening to be jewish, also. not uncommon, seeing as one of my best friends is the same as me and asian too]. its just a preference that people have. im not nixing out the entire asian [male] race, im just deciding, for myself, that asian guys arent attractive to me. though if i happen to meet one, i wont shoo him away. ;]

<p>How ironic, since before Asians became the joke of American culture, it was the Jews. Nobody gave Sandy Koufax a shot because he was Jewish, therefore too weak to compete with the "good old boys" of professional baseball. He only turned out to be one of the most dominant pitchers in history. Does that kind of reasoning, that an entire race is too "weak and brainy" to compete in athletics, ring familiar? This only goes to show that there are always these labels of negativity ready to be attached to any group that presents any kind of threat to the dominant one; subsequently the labelled group then gets into a cycle of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Call the blacks dumb and relegate them to the worst schools, and they will believe they are so. Call the Asians weak and bombard them with negative images and deny them positions of power, and they will believe it to be so. There was once a time in American history when German immigrants weren't considered white, because to be white was to be English. Then the Germans assimilated, and then the Irish and Italians got screwed. Of course, need I mention the blacks and Jews, although the latter have more or less blended into mainstream white society. Then there are the Asians, who are about half-assimilated; there may be a time down the future when Asians are considered white in the societal sense. The big loser in all this is the blacks, upon whom the rest of the America pits itself against. Sometimes, I think America's adamant refusal to accept a class system has only allowed an even worse system of a racial hierarchy, where it's white vs. black. Almost everybody, including Italians, Jews, and Asians, can become white, but blacks must remain blacks, because otherwise, the contentious system fails.</p>
<p>Anyway, legendofmax, at least you're open to the idea, despite your preferences. But there are others out there who absolutely refuse to even consider people of certain races, from white to Asian to black. Then there are the "races" of Hispanics and Muslims, but I won't get into that. BTW, what do you find unattractive about the Asians you've met? I'm not here to be condescending, because whatever you're about to say, I can probably sympathize. From my experience, way too many Asian guys fall into the stereotype of computer nerds in lame all-AZN groups that repel outsiders with its overt "ethnic"ness. You know, "honger" types. But there are a good handful of Asian guys who, having been born in America (or Canada in my case), are pretty much like any white native and are able to shed the confines of their ethnicity. These guys do absolutely fine with guys and girls of all races.</p>
