Okay, so now you're trying to say I look like a fetal creature with spikes coming out of it? You think just because Nebraska has more wilderness we all look like that? Well I got news for you Einstein, we don't all look like that. Only half of us somewhat do. Think before you make generalizations! But really, I can't believe you took me seriously. I'm just not one to be serious.

For some reason I find it difficult to believe that you're having a hard time telling men off. Maybe you should bring that side out a little more in confrontations. [And right after that Zetsubou quote too!] So you want a magic bullet against persistent men in general. Tell them you've got syphilis. With Muslim men, call it the swine syphilis. No, what you should find difficult to believe is how any dude would even want to make a move on this chick in public. I've already complained about exotic people, I don't have an accent, and I don't know what Zetsubou is and why it's being attributed to something I (or you?) said. Now, THAT'S totally unsexy. And I highly doubt the swine reference will work, darling. I'm a bit of a pig myself, as you seem to have found out. I guess Muslim men just have no standards when it comes to women. Who would have thunked of that. And BTW, since you find accents sexy, I do have a Finnish friend who is single with an accent. She sounds JUST like Arnold Schwarzennegger, almost dead on. I could hook you up.

I now like them a lot too, since I've met many nice Turks since I moved The matter of fact is, that the most foreigners living n Germany are Turks and North Africans - there for I can only refer to them What part of Germany are you in? I lived on an Army base in Stuttgart as a child and I loved it.

Should she be so flummoxed by an exotic man's sexual approach? Is Nebraska such a repressive country? When a Muslim man sees a women without a male chaperon, it gets his tail wagging and he gets a little feisty. I'm generalizing from Egyptian men in particular, but then we're all a little guilty here. I'd wear my I hate people with funny accents t-shirt--but I happen to love women with accents. Funny thing, though, true Nebraskans don't have accents. How totally unsexy. I don't understand this, either because I'm not reading it right or you're not communicating it right. My problem is not really that there are men hitting on me in public and they're foreign, its' the way they tend to handle the situation after I politely reject them the first time. I've just noticed that men from the Middle East are more pushy and persistent about it. They are shocked, because they think all Western women give in on the first try. Other men, however sleazy they may be, usually at least understand when a chick isn't interested, she isn't interested. And I'm terribly sorry us Nebraskans don't have accents. I know it can be so repulsive to hear a woman with such a clear and understandable dictation. Yuck. I really sympathize with you. And to allcal's nerd comment: whatever you meant by that, I can't stand by you on this one. I don't think their physical attraction is an issue, but I find the religion and social culture a turn off. And that's too bad, because many of them are hot. Perhaps I should have done a better job placing my statements on the appropriate areas of the Venn diagram here. I was implying that most men who hit on me with that pushy style are Muslim. I didn't say most Muslim men hit on me. You get it?

My school has a lot of foreign exchange students, particularly from the Middle East. Most of them are male (go figure) and probably Muslim. I frequently get stopped on the sidewalk or other public areas and forced into a conversation that ends with them asking me to come back to their apartment with them to "practice English" (come on, you think I'm that dumb?). I usually just say no thanks and I'm not interested but they think I'm playing hard-to-get and they get even more pushy. After I finally break it down as politely as possible, they get angry and shocked. I think many of these men are sexually oppressed through their Islamic religion back home, and they see American girls as easy fun that their parents won't find out about. Even moreover, I'm starting to think they go for the EA or more mixed looking girls because after a large contingent of white girls turn them down, they figure the other girls must be open to it. I never give in A) because it's sleazy and creepy to pick up chicks on the street and B) I'm just not into non-native English speakers (no offense to anyone). It's kind of difficult to politely turn them down though, because of language barriers. Does anyone else have this problem or am I just being bigoted and racist? How do you respond to obnoxious foreigners without being rude?

Spawning off my tid bit on having a man-like personality, I tend to be the sloppy one. My pet peeve is men who care too much about their self-image, and are constantly getting embarrassed by me in public if I drink too much or eat a huge messy meal. This tends to be the skinny, intellectual, organic-buying environmentalist vegetarian who wants everyone to know he eats healthy. Thus, I've started to avoid dating them. So what if I wanna eat a whole plate of BBQ ribs and make a mess? Sorry everyone, but I hate girly men of any kind. Even the gay guys that I'm drawn to aren't girly. I only like bears.

- Can't hold a baby I'm not exactly pushing for 50 kids (let alone marriage), but when a girl doesn't know how to hold a baby, it's a real turn-off to me. Maybe that's purely instinctive on my part.... or the fact I've raised most of my cousins and overvalue care-giver type qualities. Now this is a first for me. I thought men your age are scared away by women with baby fever. I don't like holding babies or being around them because I feel too much like an obnoxious female who can't wait to start a family. lol I mean I know not everyone is like that, but dude this is just an odd pet peeve. Then again, I've been told I have "masculine personality traits" when it comes to family and relationship issues. Well if I was your girlfriend, my defense would be letting you know that babies don't like me anyway.

I agree that hating immigrants is pretty low-class, but I bet these anglo australians would argue that it's the whole 1st generation immigrant thing that they don't like. i mean i know some americans feel superior because their ancestors were here for hundreds of years, as opposed to a saudi arabian immigrant who speaks english with a thick accent. that's why i noted earlier it could be xenophobia rather than racism. a lot of people confuse the two. i live in an area that starting to get more russian immigrants, and i've noticed increasing frustration amongst american locals because of language differences. they're starting to dislike russians, because of the language and cultural barriers. obviously not because of their race, as they look the same as the 85% whites here. but then again, it could be different for asians and others because we do look different from whites. so yeah, i guess i can understand how xenophobia and racism can be confused.

yeah I remember in 2nd grade, my white teacher always had to bring up my asianness. she's tried to put it in a positive light because of the whole diversity campaign in schools, but it was just annoying after a while. i remember we had some activity talking about our favorite foods, and i said mine was burritos. she was, "that's not korean." yeah, and? asshole. or i hate it when people ask if i speak korean and when i tell them no they say it's a shame. is it a shame that you don't speak gaelic or welsh if you're a boston irish? at some point some ancestor of their's stopped speaking their ethnic language and just used english, so what's wrong with me only knowing english? even though half my family is in south korea, i don't have any plans to move there or visit long term. i'm not ashamed of my race, my interests just gravitate toward other areas. seriously, i hate stupid people.

Hey fart, So what's with excluding Sydney? Damn, I'm mildly offended! "I'd just like to be able to study in an atmosphere where I wouldn't be ignored by everyone just because of my ethnic looks or even worse" - is this happening to you in Nebraska? lol No not so much. And I'd love to go Sydney as well. It's just the program I'm looking at is at the University of Melbourne.

There is something I find faintly depressing about immigrants discriminating against other immigrants. Who was this directed towards? Did I give you the impression that I'm hostile towards other immigrants? I hope not.

C sections are over used is the United States. So an Asian woman giving birth in a western society is going to have a cesarean section--not because her white husband--but because of her white doctor. Wrong white guy. The Busine$$ of Being Born: I saw that documentary. It was interesting, but definitely biased. Ricki Lake is kinda annoying too. I don't think Asian women are any more susceptible to C-sections necessarily because the father is white. If he's a 6'4" 240 lb man and comes from a family of fat babies, maybe. But that could be an Asian father as well. The guy would have to be bigger than average and the woman would have to be real frail. A lot of those stories you hear of women's pelvis's breaking because of a big baby probably has to do with more than just the father. Osteoporosis, dangerous physical activity, and other factors commonly make a woman's pregnancy difficult.

I'm a college student. But I also get up at 5:30 every morning and go to an elementary school to watch kids at this before-school day care program. Most of them are 3rd and 4th graders with chronic ADHD or bipolarism. My contract ends at the end of the school year in May, at which point I will get my tubes tied and never work with children ever again.

No I used to have a crush on one. A lot of people think being attracted to others with disabilities is a sick, perverted sort of fetish that has some Freudian psycho-sexual roots in craving power or something. Apparently a lot of rapists like women in wheelchairs because they are seen as the ultimate weaklings. But my crash had nothing to do with that, I just thought we was hot at the time. lol

Asiaphiles are generally just creeps.
EAphiles could also be asiaphiles, but some of them are often people who just buy into the whole multiracial=beautiful, exotic notion. They probably also like Latinos and other mixed race people. Maybe not as creepy, but still just as annoying.
If someone comes on to you because of this, I wouldn't try to make a big scene about it. Just tell them you're not interested and try to ignore them from there on out. They probably won't listen to what you have to say about it anyway, as all they care about is your race.
