That is a huge increase in 8 years. 50%???

I actually believe it completely.

Having lived in LA for most of my life, I have seen lots of Asians head out to the IE because its much cheaper. Most of that Asian growth is probably from the Los Angeles metro area. Most Asian growth in the LA metro area is probably from Asia.

I'm surprised about asians in Florida, it's not a state famous to have a real asian population, but it's a big state with a wonderful weather so I guess it's normal

I think that has to do with the fact that while there are a lot of Asians in Florida, they aren't massed in particularly large numbers in one city. Miami has the most and they only make up 2% of the Metro's population.

To hell with yellow fever, Ive had yellow bubonic plague!

Fortunately, I married an Asian, so all is well that ends well!

Thanks for the numbers Renaud.

Haha, I guess that doesn't include Filipinas since we're brown little island people I'm weird because I don't like Asian females..at ALL! Or, I just haven't met one my type yet. Dating blondes ruined me forever!

I'm just curious where these numbers are coming from. Source?

Hehe, Ive always been into them, but I have dated across the rainbow. I am Arabic (but for all intents, I look white) and I have dated black, Mexican, White, and Asian. Dating white women had the opposite affect for me. All the ones I dated were either crazy or boring with no in between. Asian women seem to go that extra mile for their dudes, so I latched on. My wife is Thai and six feet tall at that. Im 6'6 so hopefully we will have some basketball players in our future.

Asian women treat Asian guys like crap. WE'RE expected to go the extra mile for them, just to hear them without them doing anything. I'm not a bank. Although, lately I've gotten into half White/half Asian girls. I find that they're generally very very good looking.

I know what you mean about crazy White girls. Sounds like the last 2 girls I dated I don't know why, but that keeps me very entertained. The Asian girls I talk to don't have NEARLY the same excitement and curiosity about life. I don't know why. Maybe its just me? I've dated other races/ethnicities (Mexican, Salvadorian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, etc etc) and I find that the more and more common that we culturally have, the less and less exciting it is.

I hope you have a tall family. I'm tall by Filipino standards (I'm 5'10), but I still feel pretty short. A half-Arab, half-Thai basketball player would be absolutely wicked! You found a rarity; a TALL ASIAN WOMAN! She's a keeper man! Don't screw up

Still waiting on the source of the numbers. Something doesn't seem right about it.
