[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed on the fake eyelashes and it's really bothering me that she clearly is not half asian.  Her sisters look it.

My niece who’s half Asian has very almond shaped eyes.  Eurasian/Amerasians can look very Asian or not.[/quote]

Non Asian explaining to an Asian how Amerasians look compared to Asians.  Please stop, and please don’t think because you have a half Asian niece that you are now some sort of expert on Asian things.  [/quote]

Half Asian pp here.  Of my siblings and I, I look most white and am often mistaken for Latina. Youngest sibling looks 100% Asian and looks a lot like the Asian side of my family. So within a family there can be a range of Asian-ness.

Also wanted to address a previous pp’s implication that I may have some self loathing.  I do find some aisian guys attractive but they’re always mixed (like me) so I guess I’m not really counting them because they aren’t 100% Asian.  Also, in general, Asian guys I know or have known tend to be short, and I’m pretty tall.  I’m just not that into short guys.  [/quote]

Of course, makes sense.  FYI - It's hurtful to the Asian American community when an Asian person, or even half-Asian (I would consider you Asian if you wanted to be) announces "I'm not into Asians".  It plays into the whites-are-superior narrative.  At the very least it's frankly not a very polite thing to announce in public and unfortunately some people say it to engender acceptance among non-Asians.[/quote]
