I just kind of feel sorry for the asian guys because they are getting shafted.

Why do you think this is? Why aren't there as many asian male/white female couples? Why are there so many asian female/asian male couples?
Janet is originally from the Philippines, but has lived here in the states most of her life. She doesn't relate to the Asian cultures she has been exposed to here. We have both talked about race and relationships, and she's noted that she doesn't like the objectifying nature of many Filipino guys. When she talks to her family in the Philippines she hears a lot about these games that go on between the sexes. She isn't attracted to most Filipinos because she doesn't like their attitudes towards relationships.
Are the Asians you see at UW predominantly Asian-language speaking only with a little English, or are there many who speak English predominately? What do you think it means culturally that you see the phenomenon? Does it have to do with the media or what?
I didn't go seeking out Janet because she's Asian... we just had a strong connection from the beginning. I think it is weird that so many guys talk about Asian women as "fetishes". It is something that I worry about a bit, esp. if we ever have a girl in the future. Why is it that it is culturally acceptable to reduce Asian women to sex-objects?
I guess I've said a lot here, someone else can feel free to start a new thread on this.
