Orientals are extremely smart. They can make their own way without help from others.
In the 80's, we had a Vietnamese woman at work who was studying for an EE. Barely spoke English. She lived with 5 or 6 other ones in a small house near work. She got her degree, mastered English and was one of the top EE's at work.
The only problem Orientals face is that top colleges discriminate against them. All the Ivy League schools would be filled with them and Jews if special provisions weren't made for others.
I've been told I have no redeeming quality as a human being by a Chinese person, and I am only 1/4 Japanese.
A chinese man I dated said, "If you leave me for a white man, I hope he stretches your (you know where) and no asian men would ever want you again!"
Forgot to add: There are insecure men and women in every race. Quite frankly, I don't understand why some people just hate their own race or other people's race for absolutely no reasons.
I think SOME Asian men can be very handsome, and overwhelming majority of them I've met are confident, fun to be with. Just because my relationship with the Asian man didn't work out, doesn't mean ALL Asian men are undateable. Thinking this way is ridiculous.
This said, I don't know how can ANY decent, independent Asian women would want to date a white man with a so called yellow fever.
I would like to believe most people fall in love for the person, not this person's race or skin color. I have no racial preference, and decent men all over the world have a lot in common. They're More Similar Than You Think! Decent men are responsible, loving, kind, forgiving, courageous, you can find such men in EVERY RACE.

One of my high school teachers was married to a Korean. According to him, the Koreans don't like Japanese. The term "Asian" is a catch all term. Japanese, Chinese, and Korean are considered Asian. However, all three ethnicities have different languages, alphabets, histories, cultures,etc.
This sounds alot like a refrain that some non-Black men tell their women regarding the possibility of them dating a Black man. And I say "non Black" because this kind of mentality, there aren't only White persons thinking like that.
Asians usually don't like being called a model minority or geeky, especially the men, and not all Asians are smart, either. They are normal people just like the rest of us
I've never heard Asians called a model minority or geeky. I've heard smart, although I never used the word 'all'. Stereotypes are based on a good number of a group, not 'all'.

I think in Asian countries, things are a little bit different. There are a small percentage of nationalists and they are really just Korean, Japanese, Chinese, etc supremacists. I try not to pay attention to any of them. I spent several years in Japan, China, and Korea, and I get along with pretty much everybody.
My brother has no racial preference, but he has a thing for black ladies. I remember one time, an Asian girl asked him who is the most beautiful race,my brother said there are beautiful girls in every race, but generally speak, he believed black women are the most beautiful, in his opinion ONLY (he likes the skin color) The Asian girl got defensive immediately! Seriously, how can you expect anybody to answer this queen and the magic mirror type of question, "Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the prettiest of them all?" sheesh
like you said earlier, race is always a very sensitive subject and people tend to take it personally.
My sister is engaged to a black man. My ex brother-in-law is white. I loved my ex brother-in-law until he started cheating and stopped working. I also believe my ex bil used my sister for her trust fund, heck the man hasn't worked for seven years. What do you expect me to think? My soon to be brother-in-law is everything i expected in a brother-in-law and I love him. But this doesn't mean that I think black men are superior to white men or vice versa.
There are decent men in every race. I try to treat everybody as an individual.

LOL...this thread isn't about the success of Asian Americans...it's a gripe session about the lack of success by other minority groups. Asians are just being used to drive the wedge. I know the game. Been watching you folks play it for 51 years.
I didn't say that there was a conspiracy to keep Asians down. However, you folks like your minorities to remain docile. I know that game too.
Exactly. It's yet another meme to use Asian Americans as a stick to bash other ethnic groups. And yet, when it's useful - white folks will turn on Asian Americans. Remember Vincent Chin. Wen Ho Lee. Complaining about "tiger parents" and hypercompetitive students in schools. Or about too many Asian strip malls and Chinese being spoken in public. We're lauded for "assimilating" yet criticized for putting up street signs with Asian language script in public.

I've said this before...they just use the Asian model minority myth because they want to validate the supposed belief of black inferiority.
You didn't refute me I never said they didn't vote for Obama I said they don't identify as Democrats as heavily as other minorities and the stats are all there..about 50 percent do that is significantly less than other minorities.
My point is aggregately Asian American voters in the last several decades trended away from Republicans, a lot more than I expected. And IME that has to do with the Republican Party nationally adapting a more nativist platform. Heck, a lot of AA folks leaned Republican say in the 70s & 80s because of anti-Communism (like Chinese, Koreans, Vietnamese). In my area we actually had some pretty moderate Republican congressional reps like Pete McCloskey, Ed Zschau, and Glenn Campbell who were tech-oriented officials who shunned cultural wedge issues.
Remember - Latinos in California used to be pretty much split between GOP and Dems prior to Gov. Pete Wilson deciding to use immigration as a wedge issue in his 1994 reelection campaign. After that, things changed. And a lot of Asians also found that rather unattractive as well.
Anti-Communism is more or less of a dead issue these days for political purposes, though in the Vietnamese American community it's still used as a wedge issue to attack each other - but that's going away with the younger generation (just like with Cuban Americans).
