  • Asian Guys & Black Girls??

    Asian Guys & Black Girls

    This is sad that I have to write this espeacially when I have other things I need to be tending to like research & exams. -_-x

    Anyway, I keep seeing these shenanigans about white guys & asian girls (vice versa), white girls & asian guys (vice versa). Umm haven't you guys noticed that this is not new anymore? White girls & black guys (vice versa) is also not new either because I've seen so many "cases" of it walking down the street (couples) and people who have to bubble in that "other" category are also letting the world know as well. But I have YET to see something unique and different mentioned in the interracial dating community....ASIAN GUYS & BLACK GIRLS! 

    They do exist because for one, I'm black, a female, and have dated a few asian guys---espeacially Japanese guys. So I know it's not like black girls are perceived as completely "disgusting" to asian men. Although, they apparently fancy the white girls and their own versus black females. I've seen very RARE cases of "blackanese" kids or a couple flaunting their relationships down the sidewalks. So let's contribute to something new for a change (no Obama-pun intended).

    I've been into Asian guys, espeacially Japanese, since the beginning of high school and the end of middle school. I don't know why they're so attractive to me. O__o? Of course everyone knows about their stereotypical "defaults" in which a majority of cases..they are true. But as I said before to defend them, "it's not the size that matters, it's how you use it." But of course if they fail in both categories, it'll be a very boring sex life. But I've met some that have proven my theory to be true.

     

    So now onward to questions that I can't answer because I'm not an Asian male. Why do Japanese or Asian guys feel that black girls aren't attarctive as white girls? Are they still into this perception of "white is right" and that "white people=money?"

    I'm Egyptian/Russian/Japanese.

    I'm chocolate and I've dated tons of Asian men but its true; they usually stick to their own. And other Asians tend to throw dirty looks if they don't.

  • CarmineKiss@xanga

    i've never seen an asian guy with a black girl, but i've seen asian girls with black guys. i actually know quite a few students in my school who are part black and part asian. i think that's pretty cool.

  • hitokirizac@xanga

    unrelated, but are those actually guys in the picture? The caption says 'princess strawberry,' so I'm a little confused.
    related, I haven't really seen much of this to be honest, but then again I live in the midwest, where for the most part the Asian population drops alarmingly as you get farther from college campuses, and when I was in Japan there weren't many non-Asians of any race to go around. So yeah, I haven't really considered this all that much.

  • oOBuBBLes711Oo@xanga

    Im not a white male but I do have a perception::::
    maybe....simply put.....they dont find black girls appealing.

    No matter how cute of a face or nice of a body a black guy has...I still wont think he's attractive. If that makes any sense. I can say he's toned...or has a cute face...but I wont be attracted to him one bit.
    However...if I see a white guy or girl..especially with blonde hair...Ill automatically have the urge to see them up close...which means Im attracted. Then, when I see they arent as cute up close then far away....Ill go back to being unattracted.
    I guess its in ourselves to deem whats attractive and whats not.


    Ive never seen an asian guy with a black girl before either. I only hear of black&korean babies or black&japanese.....never mixed w/ vietnamese, chinese, laotian, cambodian, singapore. Oh wait...I heard of black&filipino.

  • aznguyjeremy@xanga

    i only know one couple like that.

    cultural differences is my guess.

  • ChaneliaD@xanga
    yay!

    I'm a black girl and was previously involved/dated an Asian guy.We got ALOT of stares in public which could be irritating but I guess people often stare when they haven't seen something before.I've never had a type in terms of race and date solely based on if I get along with a guy.He was the first Asian guy(Vietnamese) I have ever dated and it just seemed normal and race was never an issue...it really is quite rare...I'm not sure why...stereotypes I guess.

  • RoidBear@xanga

     It's interesting that I find this post today, because just today I turned in a research paper about interracial couples. 

  • kamilotte@xanga

    I've seen it -- my friend (Chinese guy) has been with his black girlfriend since college - about 7-8 years now. And I actually see it often enough on the streets of NYC that I don't really take notice.

  • bubblygal86@xanga

    "But I have YET to see something unique and different mentioned in the interracial dating community....ASIAN GUYS & BLACK GIRLS!"


    AMEN TO THAT!! I'd like to see that, too. On the other hand, the only Asian guy I've found to be cute so far is actor Dante Basco. There's just something about him that struck my attention.

  • Plastic_Alice7@xanga

    Oh damn,I've finally been published! I didn't even know! ahahaha,sweet.!


    lovechartreuse@xanga - Nice mix. Yeah! Get 'em!


    @nicolejorlene@xanga - yeah it is cute. I know more Korean/black kids. Not Japanese....they're extremely rare. Either that or their Japanese grandparents throw them in a closet or something to never be seen in public. =/


    @hitokirizac@xanga - Yeah, very rare indeed. And yes all of the pictures are men. Visual Kei bands, hosts, and Japanese masculinity will be next topic of discussion. lol


    @oOBuBBLes711Oo@xanga - I understand where you're coming from with that. It is all about preferences, which is why I'm highly attracted to Japanese men...because I want to. lol But I just find it insulting that a majority of Asian men's preferences are always white girls and not black.


    @aznguyjeremy@xanga - yeah. damn those cultural differences.lol


    @preetylenses@xanga - Yay! Glad to hear you added to this rare percentage of interracial dating. But yeah I think it's stereotypes & cultural differences that attack Asian men's minds before they even give black girls a chance.

  • Plastic_Alice7@xanga

    @RoidBear@xanga - aww too bad you didn't see this post before you wrote the paper.


    @kamilotte@xanga - really!? (O__o) I don't see much of it at all. It's like issues like these are always swept under the carpet yet alone people dancin' around in the streets happily embracing it. But that's kool. Great. That's NY for ya, I'd love to see it in some rural areas as well compared to white & asian couples.Anyway, I wish them the best of luck. Make those blasian babies! lol


    @bubblygal86@xanga - Yay! I hope so too. Someday Asian guys(especially Japanese) won't be so reluctant to try some "chocolate ice cream."

  • babycakes__2l0@xanga

    I'm Black, Japanese, Italian and Indian.
    My dad is from japan and my mom is from the islands(:

  • bubblygal86@xanga

    @Plastic_Alice7@xanga - "Chocolate ice cream"? Someone's a little naughty ;). lol j/k

  • pillowpixies@xanga

    If they're into white girls more, that's just it. They're attracted to white girls. The reasons will vary, but that's pretty much it. They might not be attracted to them because they're white in every case, maybe they see a certain quality in certain girls, who happen to be white. Hard to explain, but it's summed up to preferences. 

  • Afrostronomy@xanga

    I know a few asian men who will only date black girls.

  • namburgers@xanga

    Girls of African origin are fine in my book.  Any takers?

  • black_lie@xanga

    actually, asian guys with black girls is a super old trend and dates back to the 1800s in the USA. a lot of chinese immigrants would come to the USA but they couldn't bring their wives over. they would do manual labor and stuff, thus they were seen as lower class, so they couldn't live in white neighborhoods. they ended up living in black neighborhoods and taking black wives. there are actually quite a lot of "blasians" out there from the result of this seemingly unorthodox pairing.

    YAY HISTORY!!!!!

  • itstartedwithyou@xanga

    Asian parents have that stereotype that they're "dirty" and they burn that way of thinking into their sons' minds. 

  • Plastic_Alice7@xanga

    @black_lie@xanga - good to know, thanks for the history lesson that's swept under the carpet which was why I and a majority of people don't know.


    The point of this is to try to get it out there and noticed, it just seems that nobody wants to talk about this yet everyone's blowing up social networks with white & asian posts. =/


    @namburgers@xanga - yeah buddy! WOOoOOOo! lol


    @itstartedwithyou@xanga - hm...sad...

  • black_lie@xanga

    @Plastic_Alice7@xanga - haha i didn't know myself until recently. i was just wondering why there were so many part black part chinese celebrities... kelis, tyson beckford, sean paul, etc, and i looked it up. turns out a lot of chinese worked across the USA as well as in the caribbean islands

  • KrazyAMANDA@xanga

    haha it's true- i don't think i've seen a black female/asian guy couple before. i think it just has to do with the asian traditional ideal of beauty, which is light skin=beautiful. i really don't think it has anything to do with "white people=rich" (asian guy gold diggers? lol). but "white=right"- maybe (holding to tradition and all). and if for any other reason, asian traditionalists (especially parents) are highly racist :( but you've said that you've transcended that standard, so it must be that you're that much more powerful ^0^

  • Elektrik_Red@xanga

    Nah.  Black girls are hot, and Asian guys definitely have to think so if they see a hot black girl.  I'm a white girl, and thinking about Asian guys and black girls doesn't really sound like a good mix when I think about it from a visual perspective of seeing an Asian guy and a black girl together.  I don't think I've ever really thought about it.  I've never had an Asian boyfriend, but I think Asians are pretty cute.  It seems like an individual thing--if a specific Asian guy likes a specific black girl, go for it!  I've had black boyfriends--they're cute as hell, and I know the girls are cute.  Go for it, bitches!

  • tokyoexpressman@xanga

    It really depends on if you're talking about Asian guys or Asian American guys. Entirely different sets of cultural values there and that does affect dating.

    I wouldn't mind dating a black girl if I was single again and I found her attractive and our personalities meshed, but I wouldn't want to be fetish-ized either. Not to mention whenever I usually run into non-Asian women who love Asian men, they usually mean Asian from Asia, not Asian American. I'm as yellow as they come on the outside, but I'm thoroughly American on the inside. Jpop haircuts, anime, and Asian dramas are not my thing at all.

  • BEAUTIFULCINNAMONQUEEN@xanga

    My first real boyfriend was Asian-American.  We did get a lot of stares.  He ONLY dated black girls and ended up marrying one and having kids.


    Where we live in the city both of my girls are around Asians all the time at school and in our community.  My oldest has dated several and my youngest tends to only 'crush' on Asians and they seem to like her back.


    When I go to get my nails done one of the Techs asks me out constantly.  I know it's probably because I'm built small etc. and he's not the first Asian to have asked me on a date. I don't see color, just the person.
