Not just half-Japanese. Apparently all "halfies" (as us Asians call them) are supposed to be hot.
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.
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".
We Italians tend to be dark-haired and hairy in general.Since many Americans came from Europe, I can't tell which one is from Germany, Italy, etc.

It's the darker and slightly exotic coloring combined with big, yet still slanty eyes, plus the extra height and yeah, some curves. Not like all Asians are skinny sticks.chriscaffee wrote:Actually it's because they get the Asian skinny-ness and cuteness combined with the American/European curves.
Yeah, that one went too far, didn't it? In my defense, I was going for straining the level to "South Park/Family Guy" offensive. Sorry everyone....dude.
What? Oh, not THAT. It's the fact that all the Germans I know aren't blond. Seriously. WTF, mate.Zeta wrote:Yeah, that one went too far, didn't it? In my defense, I was going for straining the level to "South Park/Family Guy" offensive. Sorry everyone....dude.
Hairy as in Robin Williams hairy or Mario hairy (meaning his mustache to be more specific)?We Italians tend to be dark-haired and hairy in general.
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)?
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.

That made me laugh.It depends on how pure-bred we are. I'm a "Level 3" or moderately hairy Itallian. Robin Williams is a "Level 10". Or "Sasquatch"
Never mock Suess?
