How is Join the Army even similar to White Pride/Nazis?
Most of the Ea women I know who joined the Army come out with non white spouses. Most of the Ea men or Asian men I know who joined the military have come out with white,black or hispanic wives. Most of the Ea's on this board and elsewhere who haven't joined will probably marry white people.
Don't lump people like me that served in the military with Nazi's and White Power people. The military is ten times more integrated than a typical college campus and the civilian sector.

I'm not but he is and so are a lot of kids joining these days. He's joining for the survival of the Western Civilization/ White Supremacy basically is what I get from this cat. From what I heard from someone who wanted to join is that the recruiter was actually saying you can go kill alot of Arabs and get into all the crazy many crap. This is not me but other people I come into contact with.

Get me that Recruiters name from your friend. There are procedures one can take if someone says things that are as hateful as you posted, if indeed it is true. I have had someone thrown out of the Army for calling me a chink after he served 10 years. So if you want to do something productive and solve a problem get me the Recruiters name and I can work behind the scenes to have him thrown out. What he is doing is bad for the military. I was a Recruiter and all I talked about was college money and bonuses. Are you sure this guy is telling you the truth. Never the less I want his name.

How hypocritical is that? It's true. Just look at the threads that ask people if they date Ea's ,date fobs, or threads regarding what race they want their kids to be. Most of the Ea's are on here because they want to connect with other Ea's. . ALot of them, unlike you who live in HK aren't around Asians or even other people of color all that much. Of course most of them will marry whites.That's the majority. That's who they are around. That's who they will marry. Not all of us Ea's have the opportunity to live in Asia helles.
I get this feeling you don't like me to much.....
I just find it extremely ironic that someone will connect the military with being akin to Nazis when most of the people I know in the military are in IR relationships. When most of the EA;s that live in Western countries and bash the US Military for being racist have no clue how integrated it is and those same people will more than likely marry white people. Let's take a poll 10 years from now when there are more people on this board that are married and see how right I am. Especially with Ea females.

does that mean that if a lot of people in the army in IR relationships, that the army is full of 'fetishist' relationships that you have mentioned in other threads?
btw, its not that i dont like you, its just some of your posts seem way off and you read into people's post way more than you need to.

Let's make a distinction between military men and their asian civilian wives they pick. That's one thing altogether. Let's not make the mistake of thinking the Ea's and Asians who are military members are civilian wives. Let's just make that clear right now. I am talking about Ea's and Asian military members.
ANd from alot of the posts, pm's I get alot of you are delusional. You think it's a skinhead rally when it couldn't be further from the truth. There are many Hispanics and blacks that serve. May times an Asian or Ea in the military, I repeat serving in the military is just as likely to meet and marry a black or hispanic just as they are a white because that is who they are around. I tell you, In the army I was around alot more blacks and hispanics than in the civilian world(not counting the hubby of course).

Hm, I think I'm with Helen on this one... doesn't matter if Helen is currently in HK, would that mean that she's more likely to marry an Asian because of her current residence? I don't think you or any of us could predict that because we don't know about Helen's personal life, her past relationships, her family, her personal likes/preferences in men, etc. And.... Helen's right, you're assuming that all EA's on this board and in general will probably marry Whites because they did not grow up or interact as much with coloured people, etc. You fail to consider other reasons other than location. But specifically, what about me? Myself and other members on here are with, or prefer Asian/EA partners. Like myself, my partner is Filipino...

I gotta agree with helles and Jolie too. I was mostly around whites and dated whites but I actually married a guy who's 100% Asian. It's wrong to make such sweeping assumptions.
For the record, my husband was also in the US Military and yes the military is certainly diverse and I do not agree with it being associated with white power etc. I saw a lot of interacial hook ups but there were also a lot of people who stuck to their own kind as well.

^That folded eye thing happens to a lot of Asians naturally though. My mother has it, my eyes are much smaller and less foldy than hers for some reason. It's really strange. Her eyes are clearly more Asian looking, but fold-wise they're much bigger. ;D Ironically some people say that my eyes are asian, when in fact I got my eyes off my Irish father who has smaller more slanted eyes.My taiwanese mum has large, round eyes.........weird I say.

Yes, I am a very asian looking EA (my name 'asianhalfie' implies it). When I'm with whites, they just see me as an unstereotypically-looking asian and when I hang out with asians, they can tell I'm mixed.

^^ Nothing wrong with looking more Asian. People have different perceptions depending on their own experiences/cultural surroundings. Many of us on here have similar experiences in terms of looking more Asian or more non-Asian among different groups of people at different times of our lives. You never know, you may end up looking different as you grow older.

Around all asians I stand out and get told i'm typically mixed but around whites I get the impression that they think i'm asian yet not completely asian, since i've got white skin, brown hair, and some caucasian features.
