Okay, following up on your 2nd non-glib reply ;)

Of course I have non-asian female friends. You're reading all of these absolutes into my argument that I never put there. The one-off line about intelligence was also connected to what I was saying about higher levels of education achievement.

And besides that, where did I ever say "all the ways" white girls are inferior? I'm not one of the guys on this board that has a litany of horror stories. I set out to say what I personally love and admire in Asian women, and you're making it all zero-sum. I can see how you would easily find stereotypes in what I was saying - but when I was writing it I was describing a small number of girls I've known, actual people. I was talking about Michele and Jacqui, see what I mean? But just to clarify, no, I don't assume anything about any Asian girl I meet for the first time outside of what her surface appearance and small talk gives away.

Let me just answer with another question: In what way would it be acceptable for someone to say they like, respect, admire, love... whatever... any kind of group of people? If I say I like blondes then am I saying brunettes are inferior? I'd say no, but I suppose if you wanted to you could any of that and stick it in the Play-Doh Fun Factory of Semantics and have it come out discriminatory. I get where you're coming from, but it's just too easy to misunderstand when we're making -any- kind of statement about race, and sometimes I just want people to relax a little, especially when it's all positives being put out there.

ps: how could I ever say white girls are unattractive? Christina Ricci, Marlene Dietrich, Winona Ryder, hello?? : )
