-Why are White models and actors frequently used for ads and posters in Asia?
-Why do so many Asian women get eyelid enlarging surgery, dye their hair blonde, and wear blue contacts?
-How come some Asian youth are ‘not attracted to Asians’?
-How come if you are Caucasian or an English-speaking Asian in Asia, you are treated better everywhere you go?
-How come some Asians get ashamed from being around ‘too many Asians’?
-Why didn’t more Asian-Americans stand up after the ‘Vincent Chin’ murder?

That seems different now..or at least to me. My friends are generally young and mainly date Asian guys. They’ll date people other than Asians but majority of time, the guy is Asian.

mm there are still a few girls that prefer white/black guys. like that one girl from america’s best top model, Gina? she said she’s proud to be asian but doesn’t date asian guys because they’re short. but supposedly now asian guys are becoming more popular because they’re more ideal as a husband. like they are smarter, want a family, etc.

Well what about when a White girl dyes her hair black?

Japanese and Koreans dye their hair all time, does it still count towards the white worship?

What do you think about those two statements?

I hear that.  Why does this happen even in advertising?  Why dodn;t we see as many asian faces in western ads?  I really do wonder.  Why does asian fashion seem to be dominated by western companies?  I would like to see older styles returning or rejuvenated with clothes made of silk.  But I guess cotton and polyester won :(
