"Asian girls are so pretty!"

[Naiwen]

Erh yeah. I'm tired of people and so many caucasian men telling me this... you? Do you get: X race you come from is pretty, beautiful or attractive...?

 

[Jazzy]

^ If people are complimenting you, why do you find it so upsetting?

 

[Naiwen]

Because they are stereotyping and generalizing me. XD And because I want to know, why some people from other cultures think: Asians are so attractive.

 

[Jazzy]

I have seen very attractive Asian women and men.

I have also seen some very unattractive Asian women and men.

I guess it boils down to the saying: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Sounds about right to me.

I find Asian women attractive. But then, I'm attracted to pretty much every aspect of Asian culture, so I'm probably not the best person to ask

Ashera do you think people are only attracted to you because you are Asian? ...Not because of your personality?

Yeah and my "Asian looks".

Yeah and my "Asian looks".

Why do you think that?
What about Asian men, do you think they only look for that?

Oh no... but I'm talking about Caucasian people and people from another culture than Asian saying that... weird eh? I don't attract men from my own culture...? But I attract Caucasian men/women the most?

And Asians wouldn't say: "Omg, you're Asian, you're so pretty... and cute..." they'd say directly: you're cute or pretty... or beautiful...".

And why...?

It's desirable to me. There's not really anything beyond that.

What's so special about Asian culture or Asian women...?

People really can't explain why they have the preferences they do. They just know they have a preference but really no reason as to why they have them. I imagine you have preferences of your own which you can't explain why you have them. We are all like that.

Somehow I get this feeling that you don't see yourself as the least bit attractive which is why you get offended by anyone who suggests they see you as attractive because you don't believe it. I think your issues with their comments have more to do with your self image then they do with the comments and opinions of those you meet in life.

I think every man from whatever race has a preference of women. I don't see it as being a stereotype. What's bad about being pretty?

the fact that I'm Asian, which makes me automatically pretty or beautiful in their eyes.

My point exactly.

I think these quotes tell the story. These remarks are all being made by 'Westerners'. It's well known Ashera's feeling towards 'Westerners' and she's offended that she doesn't attract men from her own culture.
