last time this girl on myspace wanted to add me who called herself ...-chan. and she was deathseriour about it O___o and she has no asian features or was borh in japan. but she claimed to have 2% japanese blood in her. 
weeeeeeeeeeeeeird people! hahahahhaa |
My gawd, I know sooo many people who refer to themselves as ...-chan. I mean, come on. Most of these girls are Norwegian, and it sounds really strange with -chan attached to a Norwegian name... Like, Ragnhild-chan... As if a Japanese would have been named Ragnhild anyway. They're quite annoying. But I'll admit that I've occasionally called fellow Asian freaks -kun or -chan if they're good friends of mine, but that is more like an inside joke, kinda. It's not like we seriously go around and call each other with suffixes. Btw, my sister studies Japanese at university, and their Japanese teachers call them -san, but I guess that's something different...

Their attitude can honestly be rather offensive. While they refer to "Asians" as being great (they're white), they only really mean Japan - so far as to say "no other Asian is as good as a Japanese! That's great but I don't care, it's not Japanese. I wish I was born Japanese." And go on to speak one or two Japanese phrases they learned from anime ("it's so sugoi and kawaiiii desu!!!")

Haha. I have a few friends who are totally like that. They randomly insert Japanese words and phrases into their daily speak, which is somewhat lame...

Personally, I like asian guys because they make me feel clean(for lack of better word) because they're generally not very harry all over their body and they look physically better than other races too. I also think shorter-medium sized men are hotter than super tall guys. And they don't have pointy noses usually. that's all physical, because i think it's weird of someone if they said they like asian guys only because of their mind or personality, because personalities of other races can easily be the same. So why wouldn't it be a physical preference? I've had a crush on a mexican guy once when i was little, and then i suddenly felt absolutely nothing for him. And since then, I have never felt anything romantic toward a guy that was anything but asian. I don't think it's something I chose consciously, until it was already done and i consciously realized it. Or maybe it happened because the only hot guys around me growing up happened to be asian LOL
omg sorry i've written so much..
back to topic? XP

I agree wholeheartedly with you. Well, it's not
exactly the same with me, as I've been in love with Caucasian guys as well, but I think that Asian guys are in general more beautiful than most other races. I don't think it's romanticizing or whatever, just personal preferences, just like you said.
And well, yeah... I haven't been called a wannabe Asian, but I know I was one before... but that was like ten years ago or something! xD My Asian obsessions started out really early, like ever since I knew that there was a continent named Asia... Or, I didn't even know there was a continent named Asia (I thought Asia was a country when I was little
), but I knew how Asians looked like, and I thought they were the prettiest people in the world. When I was a lot younger, like seven or eight years or maybe even younger, I wished I was an Asian because I thought they were so much more gorgeous than Caucasians. My natural hair colour is a very light blond, and it was even lighter when I was a kid, and I asked my mum if I could dye it black to look more Asian when I was 10 years old xD Of course she wouldn't let me... But I've grown more comfortable with the way I look now. I don't want to be Asian anymore, but I tend to think of Asians as more beautiful than other races. But as I said earlier, I think it's only a matter of personal preferences.
