Half-Asians - Page 2

Tee-hee! I know a half-korean girl who's pretty much stunning, but really doesn't know it. She's in the band and everyhing, and still quite cool. I won't specify what we did, but it wasn't precisely decent.

Uh... this is a bit of a weird topic, since I really don't care where a girl's from. hot is hot. But I'm like a quarter Korean, and you can't really tell too easily. Plus look at people like Brandon Lee, who look pretty much completely caucasion, despite being half chinese. Genes are pretty damn relative, so its hard to say half of this and half of that = good looking.

You know, this thread has gotten me thinking. Is it racist to prefer one race aesthetically over another, or is it just that--an aethetic preference? If say... I don't like black girls (even though I do), does that make me racist against them... or if I like asian girls more, does that make me racist? Or do you have to like/dislike them beyond who you'd be more likely to 'do' to be considered racist?

I'd say having an aesthetic preference isn't racism... but closer to a fetish, except, in most cases, not as strong.

Only reason I present this here instead of making a new thread is because everyone is pretty much saying the same thing: long winded versions of 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder', and I don't see this line of 'discussion' lasting for much longer.

Nah. Not racism.

The answer turns your question around a bit. It's this:

A racist will prefer one race over another.

That's obvious. But that's the entire situation. Racism is more malicious and ignorantly based.
Perhaps, if I were to try and force Asians and Americans to marry so we'd have only half Asians/Americans, then there'd be a racism issue, and it'd be against both sides.

Seeing as the subject here is like and lust, and not procreation (Or the deterring of procreation), there is no element of racism here. Simply a racial preference in what is pleasing to the eye.
Er, that is, one race is being uplifted, but none are being put down. And, of course, this applies to only a singlular, small group of people from a group, so not even a whole group is being held in supremacy...

Bleah!

You raise a good point or two, but think of it this way:
How would you feel if someone you loved only stayed with you because they're turned on by people of your ethnic origin?

Krylo · 06-08-2004, 11:00 PM

And you make a good counter point... but wouldn't that be the same as someone only staying with you because you have D cup breasts, green eyes, or red hair? Or are those also -isms? Breast-ism, eye-ism, and hair-ism?

No I've had this discusion before. It's not racism it's just preference. I like strawberry icecream better than chocolate and would rather have that. I'd rather have a red car than a yellow car. It doesn't mean you can't like someone of a certain ethnicity. Simply that you aren't as attracted to them. Sometimes it can be people look for other people of the same background because there is a sense of security in that. That's not always the case though. Everyone has there own little likes and dislikes about other people and that's alright. It's not bad to have some standards but you don't need to always follow them. I actually prefer blondes with green eyes. My g/f is a brunette with hazel eyes. So go figure. lol Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Aerozord · 06-09-2004, 09:41 AM

Well I would have to guess genetic veriety. I imagine if you were asian, or black, or whatever you would find a cuacasian (proper term wrong spelling) more atractive. Or maybe it is just getting the best trates from both. I personally like south-east asian and latin girls. In fact this one girl I am interested in is mainly Phillopeano (hope I spelled that right she beats me when I dont), though she has some European and Chinese. By the way for as far back as I know I am 100% European.

Also those hot mail order brides sure would contribute to it. Not saying the reason just bringing that fact up

So far, I've asked just about everyone I know, and only gotten two disagreements (who knew an exception) and one hypothesis ("You've been playing too much Final Fantasy"). I only really post on two boards, one of which is not related at all (Wizards of the Coast), and I have no interest in joining a board "dedicated" to "hot Half-Asian chicks" for the sole purpose of asking this question and then taking a scalding hot bath to cleanse myself.
Thus, the question falls to you people.

Why?

Because they are.

Aerozord · 06-09-2004, 09:56 AM

Also on the note of final fantasy. I dont know about the rest of you but to me they didn't look Japanese untill X-2. Personally I hope the graphics dont improve so you cant tell their ethic background. To keep it generic
