Re: My question still stands (Score: 1)

(User Info | Send a Message) | I agree with you, and thank you for posing the question in a mature manner. You're absolutely right, both men and women who choose (or not choose) based on race for any reason in regards to skin color or country of origin or what not, whether it's another race or their own, is racist, or a reverse racist for that matter. And yes, only in that case does love become a racio-political issue.....if you choose your partner in that way.
I am in no place to explain the women who refuse to date Asian men. Ask them yourself. My explanation is purely aimed at showing that NOT ALL Asian women who date or marry white or whatever else are trying to show that Asian men aren't good enough. I have seen the astounding numbers of interracial marriages amongst Asian men and women to other cultures, and much of it is based on events of the past. For instance, WWII spurred the number of war brides coming into America. In many Asian countries, both men and women had heard of the "American dream." And in the case of women, they knew that it was accessible by marrying someone from America, predominantly white soldiers abroad.
This of course, is not to completely disregard the flat out refusal to date Asian men, but you also can't completely disregard the marriage that is based on pure love (unless your a cynic, and you don't believe it exists). But I do.
So love, although is at many times a racial/political/status or power/economic issue, all I'm saying is that it shouldn't be, and depending on who you are, it doesn't have to be. So get an education, get a degree, a good career, climb up in the ranks, and find a beautiful husband or wife that just soothes all your nerves at the end of the day. I know that sounds cheesy, but I think that can be one way to make love an Un-political issue. |
