(User Info | Send a Message) | The only thing remotely comforting about this article is that it was written in 1995. Over the years, numerous quandraries in AA studies have been aimed at finding out why it is that some Asian women date outside their ethnic group.
I, myself, am a case in point.
And this is yet another article to make me sick.
Being Filipina, I guess those who agree with this article might not find it surprising that I've been with my Caucasian/Mexican boyfriend for quite some time. In retrospect, however, I didn't choose this man based on some retarded belief that he was some god--I think it's far too close-minded to come to such a conclusion, and only reflects a certain insecurity on the Asian man's part.
The man I am currently dating really just stumbled along. Prior to meeting him (who, by the way, I did not take an initial interest in), I thought I'd only be dating other Filipino men, because that's what I was exposed to where I come from. And with that thought, I was content, even happy. I thought many Filipinos and other Asian men were very attractive. The man I'm with now could very well have been Asian, if I found his face pretty and he made me laugh and made me think, I would be very much into him. And in the duration that I've been attached, don't think I haven't found that man.
Point being, I have no guilt about dating out of my ethnic group, because I'd just as likely date within it, granted that the right man came along. This notion that the media is to blame for the Asian man not looking sexy is plausable, yet inconclusive. True, Jackie Chan isn't the hottest thing to hit Hollywood, but Bruce Lee was truly something. Chow Yun-Fat has a certain sex-appeal in the seriousness of the characters he plays, and Ken Watanabe is going to be in the next Batman and I'm gonna go see it.
So if anyone honestly feels that I am dating out because I hate my culture and think my father is nothing, think again. I am a journalist studying Philippine history, embracing it all the more, and I am still faced with the fear that my father will encounter situations that will make him seem less powerful than I perceive him to be. |
