Which actually makes biological sense*, because the more diverse the species is the greater chance of good things surviving/bad things dying out, thus longevitiy of the species, &c.Segaholic2 wrote:Not just half-Japanese. Apparently all "halfies" (as us Asians call them) are supposed to be hot.
*in my strange version os the word sense, at least.

I'm kind of used to people calling me Chinese or Japanese by them, but I don't outright blame them. While I seem to have this unknown ability to tell Asians apart, I can't tell most white people apart. Since many Americans came from Europe, I can't tell which one is from Germany, Italy, etc.Like, 80% of the Asian population where I live is Korean (Stupidly enough, the white people around here still assume you're Chinese or Japanese), and I've noticed (around here, anyway), that they have a greater chance of being cute than others. I mean, some of them even pull off the rare, nigh-impossible feat of being cute and hot.
GAWD no. I never liked those looks...NEVER. I perfer something more manly or normal. I want a Viggo, not an Orlando.It makes me want to get one of those funky Korean hair cuts (long ass bangs, only a single highlight in the front), wear some bishounen man-makeup, and run through the streets screaming "Sarang Hae".

It depends on how pure-bred we are. I'm a "Level 3" or moderately hairy Itallian.Hairy as in Robin Williams hairy or Mario hairy (meaning his mustache to be more specific)?
Robin Williams is a "Level 10". Or "Sasquatch"
And now that I think about it - considering Mario's level of fame, I'm suprised that Asians would have a problem identifying Itallianess. I mean, most of us aren't MARIO's level of Italian stereotype. But the older ones can sometimes exceede that.
Then there's the other Italian stereotype - let's just say if they have their hair-slicked back and are carrying violin cases - don't stare and walk the other way.
Italian musicians can get testy.
Asians probably assume every Italian guys don red hats and giant, hideous mustaches.And now that I think about it - considering Mario's level of fame, I'm suprised that Asians would have a problem identifying Itallianess. I mean, most of us aren't MARIO's level of Italian stereotype. But the older ones can sometimes exceede that.
