I don’t know many Asian girls that go out with black men.

Stating the obvious here but South Asian communities are straight up racist about it. We can’t even handle our own ‘dark’ skinned complexions, let alone accept it in others.

Ruth has a few sexual fantasies, what’s the big deal?

I read some stuff a while ago by bell hooks on sexual fantasies and colonial desire but it all got a bit serious.

Why do Asian girls like black guys? They can dance better? And white boys can’t dance (Asian boys can ’sometimes’). And I am guessing men that play on the net probably are not er.. that comfortable dancing.

And people stupidly see dancing to be the same as being sexually competent.

I have personally had an experience with dating an Asian woman and have a Blasian child. I myself am an Afro-American man and well educated with great values. I am deeply disturbed that such shallow remarks are made addressing ethnicity, race, culture, and morals. Especialy when we(Human beings)as a people are obligated to accept each other for who we are and not what the media, myth, and rumor may have contributed to. I am sure that the shallow remarks that were made were made from those who do not know anything about the Afro-American race nor do they know anything or little about the Cucasian culture. I do appreciate the Asian culture, and traditional values that Asian families still employ and believe in, but as we all know and have to accept, we are now embarking into a new millennium and the race for power, technology, and westernization in countries where there hasn’t been a need before now exisist. White(Caucasian)man and Black (Afro-American) man have never been accepted before in these so called countries. However, the cucasian male is much more accepted than the Afro-American male! It’s really ignorance, and or the lack of knowledge which is really the problem with this world in which we live in. The Asians want our(American) technology, money, and culture/lifestyle, but are still fighting a battle within their own culture. There are those who are older Asians that do not believe in mixing their ethnicity with another, and there is the younger Asians who are earger for change! These stereotypes are here as well as in China, Japan, Taiwan, etc. Please understand that I have have been across seas and I have seen the prejudice and the racial profiling from my own eyes. So for those who are just making comments about race and moral values, please take a minute and check you own values and retrace your heritage.

It seems to apply to men of course too, in some instances.

Good one. Anyhow, the interesting thing that comes out of all this is precisely the viewpoint that ‘women’ as a lump are the “property” of some group or other and if that view is present, then who any individual romantically links up with – seems to be open for general scrutiny/condemnation/etc. as if it were any one’s business. Which of course many individuals in many groups appear to think it is.

I wouldn’t write something like that because I know that “Asian men” can’t be lumped all together, just like Asian women can’t.

sorry but this article is silly. if you were gonna talk about a ’sensitive’ issue like asian girls dating black guys then you could at least talk about THAT rather than relegate it to one barely thought out throwaway sentence at the end, esp when you know that the mere mention of black/asian relationships (on both sides of the gender divide) can provoke not esp nice reactions from both communities.

but as for your other points – yeah white people are getting it MORE right than before, but not ALL white people, not the majority, lets be real. maybe in the lefty right on circles you move in, yeah, but the average white person doesnt know much about the differences.

i didnt think the original article about liking asian guys was offensive at all – it was quite honest, without any of the stereotypical ill thought rubbish i might have expected. the answerback CIF blog however i thought WAS pretty pathetic – just an excuse to cause a bit of fracas, and attempt to correct something that didnt even need much correcting with stuff that didnt even seem that related to the original article! bizzare. just seemed like someone needing attention. im all for going against stereotyping, but equal nitpicking is stupid. and it seems like another case of asians trying to distance themselves from each other (aka i dont want to be associated with such and such south asian group).

lastly the idea that black/brown guys dating white girls could never have a reverse colonial angle seems a bit naive.

Has there ever been a post on the sexual politics of Desi guys?

By: Sid

Sid — Thu, 08 May 2008 10:26:45 +0000

because i was using irony?
the ‘Some Girls’ song was posted because it’s typical of men objectifying women. sorry if i didn’t contextualise it enough. my bad if you thought i was posting it to show i related to it. and more apologies if you thought “yes” was me “sounding annoyed”. i’m was not annoyed in the slightest. however, i’m very bored now because nothing kills a joke than having to explain it…

Sid#86 Sorry I don’t see the connection.
I asked a straight question and you evade it.
Why?

Ros – don’t mind Sid – his bark is worse than his bite.

If you’re from the South, you have to fill a lady called Mirax’s shoes – she gave Sunny a hard time if I recall.

Ros, are you one of those humourless feminists? Or just humourless?
