This old thread is still kicking around? I'm so proud. Granted, since it was started I've broken up with Jen, but such is the jerky flow of time on the Internet.
I'm seeing more and more multiracial couples these days. Maybe I'm just looking harder.
I've been touring other communities around the Internet for a while, and in certain Asian-American communities I've noticed a militantly anti-white-male-Asian-female attitude. Why? Because apparently white guys who date Asian women are just exotifying them. Because Asian women who date white guys are whitewashed sellouts conforming to the white standard of beauty. Because no one takes the Asian male seriously anymore in today's dating game.
Obviously, I think the instant value judgments cast upon such couples is bullshit. But it's interesting to me that people of my own generation and race can argue so militantly against interracial dating. That they should take it as a personal insult. It's a distortion of the real issues at hand.
