Asian Men, outside of the stereotype of being good martial artists, are looked at as the most nerdy and feminine out of all men.
Black women are looked at the most masculine, and the least open minded.
Of course, these are stereotypes.
It's an uphill battle for sure.
But being one of the last of the Mohicans...
A fella wakes up errday knowing that he's going to change the minds of those who have such strong generalizations of thee and hope to influence them in a more positive, stronger way while simultaneously... hoping to leave an impression that makes them say, "Wow, now that's a different kind of cat."
Never met a person, black, white - whatever that i didn't feel like i leave a good mark on (shiits like a full time job... i.e. being the first asian for many women outside my race - or here's this one for the kicker, dating asian women who swore they would never date their own. For my piece of mind, i wouldn't continue anything with a self-hating, social-ladder-chasing heffer).
But for me, it's about the Unity. Not the novelty of being with somebody who isn't of my creed.
My aspirations to date as many women as i could (and perhaps, finding love in the process) is the help pave the way for guys who after me, will hopefully have a little leeway/leniency from generations of social discriminaciones.
Not so much of an idealistic anticipation when i say that i hope for the world to be a melting pot of mingling and interaction - and we just become grey. No color this, no race that. No segregated communities or districts. Common blocks where all minds have common thoughts and not policed by rotten cops, just universal love, sparked by solid hearts.
When it comes down to it, the only diaspora that we, as a people are experiencing and allowing to continually tether, drag and prolong... is being tolerant of "stereotypes."
The sad thing is that, i'll come on the coli and attempt to be neutral with all but... even after 10 years on SOHH and my stint here (and almost a grand of post), i still witness and face racism here (but back when i was an anonymous, it was all cool beans, then i disclose my ethnicity and my daps declined, i began losing reps, etc. I couldn't justify it any other way).
That's the reality we dwell in and the internet is just an extension of society. So i accept that - but i'm not tolerant of it. Doing something about it is my mission - thats why i try to speak to y'all. Facilitate some kind of conversation. But all my threads do plie wood numbers (who's gonna pay attention to someone who ain't even considered a legitimate poster, according to the thread where every member ever signed up was listed, my ass was no where to be found. LOL. Naw, i'm actually hurt from that tbh
Real deal, April O'neal? As redundant as this may sound, i'm here cuz i love y'all. If i was lying, you'd see thru the bullshiit. All the time i spend trying to make y'all laugh is from the heart. Perhaps, it ain't funny. But at least - you know its real.
Back to the love.
Came across this clip on youtube. It's about a "peculiar" pairing between a Univision news anchor and a chiropractor (i believe, some medical profession. They talk about how they met, their instant chemistry, cultural woes and tribulations but - how they manage to find love at the most unlikeliest of circumstances.
That just lets you know... fate has no color.
And if it hasn't for you already, i hope it chooses something great for you.
