My wife is an American of Chinese ethnicity. I am a white American. I encouraged our daughters to date white, asian or “hapa” (white/asian mix) boys. Both were adamant in not wanting to date an asian boy, but neither would tell me why.

I'm gonna let you field this one.

I would tell you why but this is a family website so let’s not go there.

May I suggest one of the more prevalent stereotypes??? (flame retardant suit on)

Size matters ;-)

Smallcox. If you must know...

Kama Aina: a Hawaiian word meaning literally “Land Child”. In Hawaii, used to describe a local born person. Aloha from Maui

My asain girlfriends told me they didn’t want asian men because 1.) they were short and 2) they didn’t have money back in their home countries and 3) they also had antiquated views of women (specifically, one said ‘Vietnamese men get drunk and beat women’). (no offense meant to Vietnamese people by me)

They also said often that they liked white and asian mixed kids, which includes my wife currently. They think the mixed kids are more beautiful than asian or caucasion only.

So, you actually encouraged to to seek out boys of specific people groups (races)?

They're your kids, but seems that the values of potential boyfriends should trump what people group to which they belong.

As opposed to our daughter, who spent a good bit of her school years here in Hawaii. She much prefers Asian guys. She's about as haole as they come. We haven't had much trouble here with the whole racial thing - I agree with Fishhawk that it just isn't that big an issue here. My son has had an easier time here as a haole in a school full of Japanese and Filippino ancestry than he did in Texas when he was just the smallest in his class.

Out here in Calif, it is as common to see white male/asian female couples as white/white. The first & most obvious reason for this is, pound for pound, the avg white guy can get a much hotter looking asian chick than a white girl.

I mean, I'm not particularly attracted to them, but they typically do have heart shaped faces, long beautiful hair & thin frames. Add in some store boughts, and what you have are pretty hot looking females.

Btw, the least common mix is asian male/white female. On the few occasions I've seen these couples in public, the male's parents where with them - ay carumba LOL! While it's ok for the daughter to marry a white guy, the Ps definitely don't look too happy seeing sons dating white chicks.

Yes ~ it's very simple. The Asian boys' mothers play a slightly greater part in their lives than the mothers of folks from other parts of the world.

They are quite the "mommy's boys".

No doubt Department of Defense is aware of this problem and takes it into account in planning wars in East Asia.

Schlong size? Indian and Asian men have the smallest average penis size on the planet.

Because the male would insist the household to follow the traditional Asian view of women?

...or so they tell me.
