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.

*in my strange version os the word sense, at least.

Actually it's because they get the Asian skinny-ness and cuteness combined with the American/European curves.

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.

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.

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".

GAWD no. I never liked those looks...NEVER. I perfer something more manly or normal. I want a Viggo, not an Orlando.

We Italians tend to be dark-haired and hairy in general.

Germans, on the other hand, tend to be blonde and kill Jews.

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.

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.

What? Oh, not THAT. It's the fact that all the Germans I know aren't blond. Seriously. WTF, mate.

Hairy as in Robin Williams hairy or Mario hairy (meaning his mustache to be more specific)?

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"

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.

But you're not pixelated.

That made me laugh.

Never mock Suess? He hated kids, he was in it for the money, his books were political brainwashing tools for children because he was a total sellout to the politician he wrote the books for, he...actually, that makes him awsome. I'd be a sell-out too. He's making $ in his grave!

I can't wait 'til I'm famous so I can sell out.

*hugs Del* Don't worry, honey. You and I both know that Dr. Seuss's books came from a magical land of faeries, green ham, gumdrops, and loraxes that existed only in the heart of a kindly poet.

Ahh, Green Eggs & Ham and The Sleep Book were my two personal faves.
