Talk:Asian fetish/Archive 10

message: It seems like almost all the content of this article addresses Non-Asian Men who are attracted to Asian women. How come the opposing situation is barely addressed if at all? Just because it does not appear to be as prevalent doesn't mean that it's not a topic worth addressing and discussing here!

thread_title: Non-Asian women who are attracted to Asian men

message: Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the disambiguation page be at Asian fetish and this page be at something like Asian fetish (sexual preference? --Lukobe 22:01, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I basically modelled it after China and China (disambiguation).  The other three references on the disambig page do not have articles.  And I don't know about the coctail, but both the band and the magazine's names are references to Asian fetish the sexual preference.  Basically when someone searches for "Asian fetish", they should get this page because it's the most prevalent use of the term.  Hong Qi Gong 03:16, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have to say, I like what has been done to this page recently.  The article is now starting to actually make some sense.Bethereds 11:43, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Actually, the disambig page shouldn't exist at all, as the other links are red (this falls under a G6 in WP:SPEEDY.).  If those articles are created, then you can put back the disambig page, but I think they shouldn't because they would never survive an AfD.  But that's my opinion of course.  --ColourBurst 16:29, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Edited to at least indicate that UD is not an authorative source, I personally don't think it should be referenced at all. Icewolf34 20:43, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Urban Dictionary?!

message: this article is indeed a mess, I have made a few content changes for the parts on synonyms of the term Asia fetish but for now I am trying to restructure the page without adding any new content. Hopefully a more sensible structure will allow this page to be improved substantially... does anyone have any thoughts about the rather odd section at the bottom without any sources?

thread_title:  Attempted rewrite 

message: Laughing out loud: Thus it has been argued that Asian fetishists are racist and sexist against Asians because the attraction or sexual preference is based either partly or wholly on race or racial stereotypes.
How's that different from preferring blonde hair, a certain height, certain size of breasts, certain length of hair, and so on (I also like how attraction and affection can now be interpreted as racism)? These days you can't even get out of bed in the morning without unwittingly being guilty of racism of some sort. Is this paragraph based on something, or is it original research? If there's no source or other logical reason for it, it should probably be removed because Wikipedia shouldn't be promoting extreme stupidity.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.197.136.202 (talk • contribs).
::So by your reasoning, no behavier can be racist because it's just all about personal preferences, right?  ie, "I don't talk to black people because all black people are thugs".  Assigning certain behavior or traits to a person based strictly on their race regardless of whether it's true or not is the essence of racism. 
::You're also conveniently forgetting the racism that is behind the creation of those stereotypes in the first place.  Stereotypes don't spring up from nowhere.  They are created, usually with a grain of truth and then twisted, exagerrated, and perverted so that a minor feature becomes representative or indicative of an entire race.   You're essentially ignoring hundreds of years of history and media representation.OneViewHere 23:43, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't even say that stereotypes are created with a grain of truth.  They're created out of the skewed perception of those who propagate them.  Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 17:12, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Racism? 

message: This page definately does not contain a world view. Here in China, American men are depicted as superheroes, and the american exchange students have no trouble finding girlfriends.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.242.181.119 (talk • contribs) 
:That's not entirely relevant, but I'll second that. Western women in China (especially the blond haired ones) have no trouble picking up men as well. What's more, many Chinese women have a fixation on Western standards of beauty (tall, big eyes, white skin, high noses, colored hair, etc). Some of them go so far as to dye their hair, use skin whitening cosmetics, carry umbrellas during sunny days, get cosmetic surgery on their noses and eyes, and/or have their legs broken and refused to make them taller. I suppose this is all driven by the racism of Chinese men and their preconceived notions about Westerners, no? Namithaluver 15:58, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: World view

message: What other racial fetish are there besides Asian fetish? Could this Asian fetish exist just because it gets the most attention?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.213.196.222 (talk • contribs) 
:Isn't there the stereotype (be it entirely that or not) of Black men fancying White women and vice-versa? Namithaluver 16:03, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
