I'm sure you've seen the type. Skinny, almost anorexic looking, guys who wear super-tight "skinny" jeans and slim-fit t-shirts that look like they were sized for an 8-year-old girl. I don't hate the style, to each their own, but what image are they exactly trying to portray to society? To me, as an observer, my first impression is that they are being effeminate. What is your impression of this type of style? What is the origin of this "anorexic" style?

I was just wondering if the people on YA could help clear something up for me. If you are a racist and feel strongly about your beliefs, why is it that if I go to your profile page there is no way to contact you? You don"t accept IM or email. When I base my belief system on something, I will defend it to whomever wants to challenge it. If I have offended any one, I am truely sorry, but you can go to my profile and email me. Thank you.

How did the stereotype of Asian women being compliant and domesticated come about? I am of Chinese and Canadian descent and I think that it is definitely not true. In actuality, the Asian women in my family are totally opposite from the submissive type; they are the ones that have the most control in their families.

It sort of upsets me that this common misconception is prevalent and quickly becoming a "fact". I also find it somewhat offensive because i consider myself to be a smart and independent woman that represents my race well. I certainly would not be content with men treating me with less respect because of this image portraying Asian women as subdued, and, in some cases, whorish. Do you think that this stereotype is misconstrued? Is the media perpetuating this faux pas?

Three ignorant Anglo white males in Northern Kentucky find out that Alexis Bledel is 100% Hispanic:

Yahoo # 1: Oh man, dude, she is hispanic. but why is her skin all white and stuff?

Yahoo # 2: She's proly mixed with one of us cus I aint never seen one that light before.

Yahoo # 3: No wait boys, I remember going into the city one day and saw me one of them "White" hispanics at one of 'dem fancy resturants. She was all speaking her spanish and she was all blonde.

*gasp*

Yahoo # 2: You saw one too? My old man said he saw pleny of them when he was stationed in California. Apparently, they're all over Miami too.

Yahoo # 1: What the hell is going on? This is confusing me. I thought Latinos were supposed to be all brown and stuff. At least thats whats portrayed on the tee-vee. Hell, 'dem Mesicans out on the job site sure dont look like Alexis.

Yahoo # 3: Supposedly, my old man said that in Spain they're mostly like that too. But I dont believe it.

Was there a side of you wishing that you have a country of your own? I mean not colonized and independent? Do you have equal rights to the immigrants and invaders of your country?

I understand some Asian men have a fancy for white stark blonde European women and I suppose it is quite understandable, because you tend to be attracted to something that you don't have or you cannot find or see around you.

My question is:
Is it a sort of common tendency that white European men also have a fancy for an Asian women who have stark black straight hair?

If so, what do you think the reason for this mysterious phenomenon would be?

So...
About the "White Rapper Show."
I Don't have any idea where the hell people get the idea that the show is racist.
Well, to clear it up..its isn't., becuase if it was...HALF of you doin all the commenting wouldn;t still be watching it. And obviously it isn't that racist if its one of the shows thats in the Top Charts of 2007.

So what Persia "Sounded Black"
-thats HER style..thats how SHE flows.

So what JB says its a "Ghetto Revival"
Since the show is SOO "Racist" then why does JB claim the "Ghetto Revival"...
If You didnt know...BLACKS are stereotyped as being ghetto. As soon as a white man reps it in a GOOD way its racist?
And the "White House"
Come on People its TELEVISION

Those talkin bout Shamrock just know im behind him 100%.

Racist isnt the word....
Racism should be defined correctly.

Shamrock has Dancers...One is MEXICAN, and the other is BLACK...and he loves them dearly...i should know...

Im one of them.
