Asian Leader: 'Adopt a Game-Changing Mindset' DiversityInc.com (subscription)
20.04.10
According to the 2009 investigation of the Committee of 100 , 73 percent of Americans believe Asian Americans have made significant contributions to the U.S. culture. By contrast, two Senate seats, six Harbour of Representative seats, and only 1.5 percent of Fortune 500 corporate board seats are held by Asian Americans, while 33 out of 3,200 U.S. colleges and universities currently good from Asian Americans serving as presidents.
As an Asian American, I find these statistics both intriguing and perplexing. Why does it appear that so many Asian Americans are successful one by one, yet that same level of accomplishment does not translate collectively into the fabric of societal leadership represented by corporate America, political science and education? While it may seem easier to blame societal and other external factors, perhaps we can dig deeper to see if cultural roots may play a r in this seeming contradiction. As Asian Americans, this can help us see if there are ways that we

Are Asian American guys underdogs in the dating world and a dying breed?
Aug 24, 2008 by White Marvel | Posted in Other - Cultures & Groups
Now i'm speaking specifically about Asian American guys. Asian living in the Common States. Are they becoming a dying breed? Are they also the underdogs. Everything is fine, except asian girls don't find them attractive, and interracial marries that involves minority men with other races isn't to a large accepted. So where do they turn to? They say races should marry one another, but when their own counterparts or whatever aren't interested in Asian guys, where does that leave the Asian guys? Are they authentic underdogs?
This is a stack of rubbish. You guys are missing the point. Asian American men are highly selective when it comes to women, be it Asian, White, Black, or Latino. We have a non-specified way we like to do things, and that simply isn't the way women like it. Honestly, we don't care. Dating isn't even close to the top of our priorities. We value our GPAs and entire contributions to a better world far more than those small things in life.
The main issue is that Asian men, particularly we Chinese, are critical for people to read in general. The key to understanding us is that you cannot use body language to try to "read" what we're thinking. That in itself can be disturbing to people. If you reckon you know what we're thinking without actually hearing from us explicitly what we're thinking, you have the wrong idea. Often people as me whether Asian men are attracted in partcular to corpse-like women. This statement cannot be more wrong. Asian men may look at women, but it's with a sort of curiosity, not any form of attraction at all. We are most attracted to a assets c incriminating evidence personality and high intelligence. For that, we have to know the girl before we ask them out. Hence, you rarely find us approaching girls without having known them scrupulously.
I don't care what kinds of nonsense you've heard, but as a rule, if a girl doesn't find an Asian man attractive, the Asian man probably doesn't find the skirt attractive either. Often, Asian girls who are raised in the US very easily adopt the American social etiquette. We Asian Americans do so as well, with the exception of the whole dating feature. If girls want to date us, they have to play by our rules, and we don't even have the slightest sense that we are somehow a "dying breed" or losers or any characterize. If that means we never get married, then it's perfectly fine, we can draw happiness elsewhere. I'm not going to go around selecting one particular race to pass. If you go by your logic, then Asian men should technically date no one. You stated that Asian women don't like Asian men. If that is so, then no particular race of women are attracted to Asian men, and justly, I don't think Asian men are attracted to any particular race of women. It is the very few types of highly intelligent and NICE (keyword there, a lot of women are very b***hy and we naturally despise that. For some reason, it seems to be socially accepted for women to be b***hy toward men, and it's a total turnoff) women, regardless of race, that we would even think dating.

havent you seen Jon and Kate with the addition of 8. Asian man, white woman, crap load of kids to carry on the bloodline. No they wont be dying out anytime speedily.
Take my advice, I dont need it. | Aug 24, 2008
I always see Asian men with Asian women. But if it's valid with what you are saying then you end up with a load of half asian/half white babies. Which come out look 95% Asian so the cycle goes on.

Infernal regions no. They are rich and they get wives from Russian and E Europe.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE MEEEEEE!!!! | Aug 24, 2008
No. They always end up with virtuous women who end up having kids that look Asian anyway. Underdogs my ass.

In fact there is evidence interracial marriage is decreasing
Gentlemintos | Aug 24, 2008
The guy above me, Hi, I prospect you are not the fake Gentlemintos. I am tired of people disguised the real one.
Anyway, about Asian guys, they are absolutely NOT underdogs in dating cosmos. Majority of Asian women date and are married with Asian men.
The point is they are in such tiny percentage in the usa vs the vast majority white and hispanic guys, sometimes its very pitiless to come across them, very very hard..............they are almost like gems.
I admire Asian guys, they study well at school, work rough, nice looking, humble and family oriented, they are in fact women's dreamed guys.

Divine crap another one. I've become an aficionado of these "asian guys dating" subjects that saturated the web. Here what i think should happen. White girls period black guys while the white man and black woman are ignored. White guys date asian girls while the asian man is ignored. So in conclusion Asian guys should phase..... black girls! I wish I could draw some kind of flow chart but words must suffice. Yes asian dudes r underdogs. Suffer me to explain the current sexual food chain. White women and black dudes are on top. Asian women and whey-faced men are in the middle and the underdogs are the asian males and black females. Though there is a wild card called "wealth and affluence" that changes things sometimes. I be informed there are more than three races, but adding any more will slightly mess up my awesome theory.

deedoll1 | Aug 24, 2008
I am a criminal female and I actually agree with joh0681. I think black women and asian males are the underdogs in the dating mankind. And I think the big problem is that both tend to stick with their own heritage way more than others.
Personally I find many asian men attractive. Not all but many. And that would be the same for any race. In fact this evening I was getting gas at a outlet and the guy working the counter was chinese american I think and wow was he cute.
chatty826 | Aug 24, 2008
i'm dating a halfer his dad is chinese and his mom is of irish descent. Go to europe you'll see more of asian males and other women other than asian there.
Asian men care for to be more family oriented, well educated, and very polite to women.

What are some differences between different Asian American communities?
May 15, 2009 by wisdom.faq | Posted in Other - Cultures & Groups
Asian Americans are so dissimilar, and I believe that there are differences between Asian American communities.
For instance, a Chinese American may have different view on marriage than a Korean American.
I have little apprehension of Asian Americans, and I would like to know more about them.
Anyone elaborate!
It depends, but if you're looking at how the U.S. defines Asian then they would first be separated by 3 husky groups which are East Asian, Southeast Asian, and South Asian.
I think a large difference is their languages. China alone has more than a hundred languages and dialects. However, East Asians such as Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese are alike resemble as they are grouped in the Asiatic or Mongoloid categories. They are the groups that a lot of people would refer to as "Orientals".
Southeast Asians is really different as you're more likely to find a history of colonization with their countries, certain groups such as Filipinos, Malaysians, and Indonesians apportion a language background known as Austronesian. Here's a video that talks more about SE ASIANS: http://www.youtube.com/keep a sharp lookout for?v=fVgUP6ihgt0
South Asians have a heavy influence from Hinduism and Islam and other various differences in discrimination. Certain countries like India, also have a large history with various European nations. Some of those groups hardened to be listed under the "WHITE" category, since Middle-Easterns can also trace their ancestry back to many of the European ethnicities. However unerring South Asian activists protested that and were finally acknowledged and considered as part of the Asian category. In the U.K., Asian actually refers more to South Asians ..while Oriental would be tempered to to label East Asians...or certain groups like Chinese will basically be just Chinese.
After that, you can basically look at all the odd nations and ethnic groups found within those nations...as well as religions, languages, and dialects. It can be really complexed and complicated, but also very unequivocally interesting.

Why the term "Asian" in the US instead of "Asian-American"? How's it different from "African-American"?
Sep 03, 2008 by thatdwayne | Posted in Other - Cultures & Groups
In the US, everyone refers to people of African ancestry as "African-American" (regardless of which fathering they are, including those who recently arrived from Africa). Why is this not also the case with people of Asian ancestry?
Truly the term Asian-American is in use more prominently now than before. It's just that many do not use the term as it should. Just like I had to drop my mongolo-native american-mexican-italia settle to just Latino.
