Why is talking to an Asian girl different to talking to any other girl? I don't understand.


Because some people make senseless and ignorant generalizations about racial groups.


And then there is one guy who honest to goodness guy (specifically me) actually believes Asian women are very beautiful, are you saying this is a generalization not worth having?


I find it very particular that you find ALL Asian women attracted.
BUT, this doesn't have to do anything with my claim. The question 'how do i talk to asian girls' already implies that Asian girls are in a way different from other races of girls, otherwise they wouldn't ask the question. And that's the generalization. Utterly stupid.

We shouldn't have to explain why it is not a bad thing for us to be attracted to Asian women in particular, as I'm sure a lot of women would prefer to be classified separately instead of bunched in a generalized assumption of what women should be and are like. I mean there is no possible offense in being different, all aspies have to get over this just because they are aspies. All women are different than one another, the same goes with men. The thing is not one is better than the other. Albert Einstein says "Everyone is a genius! But a fish will go throughout life thinking it is a ret*d if it is judged by its ability to climb a tree!", and I believe that. We see no harm in seeing Asian women as different, as people call aspies different because we are. If you see it as racist to be sexually attracted to a particular race or culture, then you are not thinking it through well enough. Plus, wanting to know how to talk in a different culture to women is a survival necessity when in a different country or culture, as it can get you locked up abroad and in big trouble, and is not in any way racist or even stupid. I am learning Japanese, and it has brought me nothing but joy. How can knowing how to talk to Asian girls be bad? White men are different from Asian men, and both types of men would agree with this and still hang out and drink saki and beer together, it just isn't offensive or stupid at all.

Different is not bad, they should have taught you this in pre-school.

What kind of implication is that? As if I said that different was bad anywhere.

But the thing is, they are not. You are making an untruthful generalization. Generalizations are usally untrue.

"saki"

You are learning Japanese? Be sure you know it properly or else it will not help you in the long run.

I tried talking to an Asian girl on Thursday. She didn't know English. But she smiled, so that's a better response than I normally get from richer 2nd gen ones who drive BMWs that do know English.

I get along with just about every Asian group mentioned by just being nice, showing equal respect make effort in learning the languages and looking beyond the stereotypes! Sometimes just being smart friendly affectionate and not focusing on just ethnicity works best!

I'm not all too affectionate. Maybe am friendly. Maybe smart.

Also, you're in California, there's more Asian folks in general there, I think. Yeah, my state has 4% Asians, and your state has 13%. Three times more. I think the main issue is again, just class/money.

Like the generalization that their customs and culture are almost completely different? Plus the generalization that Asians look different at all, which is enough reason for me to be attracted to Asians in general? Seriously are you blind? They are different and that is a fact! Your own mother is different from you! Why is saying Asian women or any kind of woman or man, men, dog, bird, rock, different at all a bad thing? It is not racist, sexist, mean, or intended in any offensive way. I don't tell you your preferences in spouses are racist, so why are you telling us ours are? It is truthful, and it is not a 'Generalization' in the first place! They are different just because they live in a DIFFERENT place than us, sheesh! So are you going to tell me rock salt is no different from crack cocaine and crushed ice now too? Everyone is different, whether if it is a generalization or not. If we weren't different we would all be clones of the first two humans alive!

Now you are going to tell me I said drink alcohol and beer, and it is redundant? "Hoteru Tokyo made dou yatte ikimasu ka?" "Shirimasen." "Arigatou godzaimasu!" *singing in part of tokyo full of shops otaku's would love, dressed in a brown chalk-stipe suit and pants with white dress shirt and black tie, brown bowler cap black dress shoes, and dancing to hardstyle j-techno* "Hoteru Tokyo made dou yatte ikimasu ka? Eigo?"
*no one answers, keep dancing and shopping here and there* "Tetsudatte itadake masen ka? Hoteru Tokyo made dou yatte ikimasu ka?" *finaly reaches the hotel he made reservations for* next day "Ohayou godzaimasu!! ! Ohayou godzaimasu!! ! Ohayou godzaimasu!! !" "Ima nanji desu ka?" forget the rest. I am right saki means alcohol, not a specific drink, like gin for example? Like when someone says "Saki!!" they mean "Alcohol!! !", not "Gin!! !" or "Vodka!! !"? I love Japanese, but I am also trying to learn Russian.

You said a generalization, that is in fact true, is stupid, therefore being different is stupid because the generalization was that Asian women are different from say, South American women. This is a truthful generalization. South American's bloodlines originate in South America, Asian Women's in Asia. The majority of Asians actually live in Asia, which from what I heard is actually a different place than North America. Do I have to actually get this nit picky to get you back in reality? They are different!

No, these are stupid generalizations. You don't have any source to back this up.
Second, you can be South American and Asian at the same time.
