Quote from Casey D. Geek

I can only imagine how much time it took you to write that post 🤣

You'd be surprised how long my e-mails to long-distance friends are or how long my posts got in political arguments on Facebook. Yeah, I know that arguing online has a bad rep, but I find it fun writing whatever's on my mind (which is a lot). Sue me. I'm forced to write short and to-the-point e-mails for work, and now's the time to unwind.

You guys are referring to Asia as whole - take into consideration that the topic basically refers to only Japanese/Chinese or similar. I don't think citizens of other countries have assimilated into the American culture so much, though I may be completely wrong, as I have no first-hand experience. And I'm pretty certain that, my lack of knowledge notwithstanding, an Iraqian's, Indian,'s or (pick a country of your choice)ian's differs a tad from what you are discussing.

Yeah, I'm referring to East Asians. I'm not absolutely sure, but from what I've heard, South Asians like Indians have much lower rates of outmarriage amongst their women.

It shouldn't be bad for your rep, there's nothing wrong in stating your opinion 🙂

True that. Indians actually come back to India to look for brides(arranged marriages)!

Quote from Domonkazu

its fine, I have a thing for girl with blond hair and blue/green eyes 🤣

That's okay, but please stay away from my sister 😁 she's only 16 and I won't allow any guy to do anything to her (and no, that's not up to her to decide); she can't do it before I do, and that's not about to happen anytime soon.
I don't know which part of Germany you live in, but it might be closer than either of us thinks (in theory it could only be a 15 minute drive away, so...)

It's okay to like someone who's not the same race as you; personality is what matters most isn't it.
Jackasses come in all sorts of colours, so no need to worry about race there 😁

i do have a race preference
i do have occupational preference

i mean i tend to like people who are similar to me.
it'll be a pain in the ass to live a life with a person who can't speak korean, for example.
and you do need to think about fiance and your partner's and your future. so the occupation defiantly matters.
than i see if the person is a likable person.
must we all be struck by the cupid arrow and make unlogical decisions?

am i that horrible a person?

You can be with a person of a different race who speaks the same language and is part of the same social class you know.

I don't think social class is that important, but financial security is not too much too ask for right? Having at least one language in common that you are both fluent in is necessary I think, it's kind of hard to get along with someone with whom you can't properly communicate; but as long as you have that, you can worry about learning each other's native language later, can't you?
Don't they always say "if it's not worth fighting for, it's not worth having"?

No. As you said, it's a "preference." Many people are like you.
