Not all Americans are white, but it's okay for you to have your opinion... besides, you little guys make great sweet & sour chicken and eggrolls. Keep up the good work :)

I am just going to assume that you are yet another Y A provocateur with that whole superiority crack. Anyway..........
America has been so rich for so long with easy access to so many kinds of food, it is no wonder we are fat.
And Americans have good taste we like pizza, hamburgers and chocolate cake. Asians, I think, not that I know everything, but I think tend to eat sushi, squid and things that most average Americans, especially good old boys, would think of as stinky and scary.
Plus, I really think that Asians are genetically predisposed to be skinny. On the whole Asians in Asia tend to have less heart disease and thinks like that but I know Asians who eat like Americans and stay skinny anyway.
I used to work personnel at a graduate school for Engineers and the majority of the research assistants were from various parts of Asia. When we had Christmas potluck and things like that, some of the newest Asian research assistants would bring dishes that none of the non-Asian people knew what the food was. It would smell funny to us and sometimes you would see tentacles and stuff (scary). No one said anything rude at the dinner. The non-Asians just tried to politely avoid the dishes. No one ate it except other Asians, that is probably who they brought it for in the first place. Some of the professors would take small samples if they were put on the spot. (I am not trying to be offensive. Just because I don't like it does not mean it's bad.) Anyway, by the time the next Christmas rolled around, the same guys would be all into the cornbread dressing and sweet potato pie just like every one else and the new ones would be the ones eating the ‘mystery food’. Not only that, but the longer they were at our school the more they ate at Burger King, ordered pizza, ate Oreos and carried around bags of Doritos. I honestly cannot remember any of the men or women even getting chubby.

I am not American, but your question seems to assume that all white Americans are the same. This is not the case.
It would be equally wrong to say that all Filipino's are thin. There are bound to be some fat ones around, too.
Your attempt to insult Americans has failed. You only insult yourself with such a question.

Hoy, you are a shame to your fellow Filipinos for being such a racist.
Not all Americans are fat and not all Asians are thin and think like you do.

even though i'm not white it seems like you have something against them but i have to admit i have never seen a chubby female asians. being thin in your case really isn't saying much because most white americans are thin too. and being thin isn't all that great. thick is what's in.

Some white Canadians are fat too. There are many advantages to being fat. I know where all the best restaurants are and I always get all the food questions on jeopardy and millionaire right.

Take my advice : Respect others, if you want others to respect you. I am Asian and now I am ashamed because of your stupid remark, but I'm glad I'm not Filipino.

Excuse me? I've always had respect for the Asian people and their culture, but I don't think I respect that stuff now that you said that, you rude little runt.
