  • I came across a profile of a female who happens to be Asian, and it said this...

    "I'm attracted to white guys, I prefer white guys because growing up my
    mom and dad always told me that anything American is better, I
    basically grew up kinda ashamed of my heritage because my parents
    wouldn't let me speak Vietnamese/Chinese in the household. They made me
    speak English all the time. They wouldn't let me date asian guys or
    black guys or hispanic guys, only white guys. They would not approve me
    dating unless its a white guy."

    WOW, that's hardcore.

    I'm from South East Asia myself, and I'm familiar with that position about
    "anything American" is better, but my parents thankfully never forced that concept to me. I guess that idea was obviously shoved
    down this girl's throat though, and makes me wonder if there are people
    I know who has this same exact perspective in life. Personally, I think
    it's kinda sad what her parents did to her.  Ideas like these are
    what causes racism in the first place.

    Free choice people, free choice!
