Re: My life hey there. this is a response for 'bethereds':



i first want to say that you're misunderstanding me a LOT. i never said that interracial children make MORE BEAUTIFULLY INTERESTING people. just that they do tend to make interesting feature combinations as well as cultural interchanges. so do people with different features in monoracial relationships, i.e. dark hair and light eyes, or people of different religions (my grandparents were protestant/catholic back when it was hugely looked down upon). please don't misinterpret me as saying they are superiorly beautiful in any way. i'm sorry for your disgust... i didn't think i needed to further clarify, but now i'm glad that you've confronted me to.



and ya know, i haven't ever been closed minded to dating an asian or american-asian man, either. they unfortunately weren't around where i grew up, and when they were, they weren't very interested, frankly. i guess i just wasn't their type. plus, the ones i ended up working with preferred dating blondes! haha. and i'm not as petite as a lot of asian guys i know prefer their women, and i'm also not into developing an eating disorder to be attractive for anyone of any race.



i'm not sure why asian women have less of a problem relating to white men. all i can speak to is my case. and as for the comment about white women not relating to asian men... i don't see that. in fact, a lot of my white girl friends think asian men are hot and date them when the attraction is mutual. i'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that maybe SOME asian men are afraid of that stereotype and are hesitant to ask out a white woman if he's attracted to one? i don't know... i can only guess here, but i must say that the white women were the aggressors when it came to the above mentioned couples.



and i guess people don't always know what they're ready for until they're in something, and then there's a gut instinct one way or the other. we ARE all human, as you said.



an interesting fact you might be interested in that i've just discovered while trying to uncover whether or not i have japanese history in my 'family'... scientists who were working on the human genome project attempted to see what DNA characteristics were similar amongst people of the same races. although they were able to distinguish a few groupings, they also strangely report that people of the same race are less likely to match MORE DNA characteristics than with someone of a different race from them. confusing, eh? it basically means that these scientists say that there IS no race distinction, and that all there really is, genetically by DNA, is the human race. i think that's really something to think about... and it has also stopped me from both being physically able to determine by background, as well as wanting to care so much anymore...



anyway, out of curiosity, what is your background? i'm new and all so i don't know yet...
