Who said I was directing it at you. I know you meant nothing by it. Since your not a girl you probably don't hear the cook me food line very often.   What and you're saying that men don't get that line!? |

I just assumed you were directing it at me because you were quoting me. That's usually how it's done. I don't hear the "cook me food" line very often...nor do I utter it (well, except in a restaurant, and most of the cooks are men where I eat). Are you saying that I implied that she should cook me some Polish food because she is a woman? I think you might be slapping me for no good reason. Well, for fun maybe ;D I thought it was offensive you brought food up when you heard Wildhoney (forgive me if I've spelt it incorrectly) was Polish. In my experience whenever I say I'm part Chinese. People usually say something about liking Chinese food, do you know how to cook it. I find it a little insulting regardless of whether theyre just trying to make conversation or not. Since I'm feeling generous, I'm giving free slaps to all. What and you're saying that men don't get that line!? From other guys? |

i think food is just one of the easiest ways for people to connect to a foreign culture. it didn't seem offensive to me, and it doesn't bother me when people start talking about food when they find out what my background is. if anything, i'm proud of my delicious ethnicity. ;D

I'm just "extra unique" when it comes to what I find offensive. ;D

People usually say something about liking Chinese food, do you know how to cook it. I find it a little insulting regardless of whether theyre just trying to make conversation or not. I get it. That's not part of my experience. I either get blank stare followed by "where's that?" or "Oh....." followed by topic change. But I could see how it would be different for someone else, or for lots of different people. You, for instance. By the way, I had the most delicious Dim Sum for lunch today! (Seriously) ;D (Ducks) "Look, over there, someone being REALLLLY offensive!" (runs away) I am into food, and often use it as an entry way to connect to people. And those Polish things I had weren't Pierogis, they were something else. Something that I cannot remember. Something that I have been *trying* to identify. I will confess to hoping that wildhoney might be able to help me. They are kind of like crepes, but the wrapper is spongy, almost like injera (but not sour), They are rolled up and not folded at the ends. There are cheese ones that are sweet, meat ones and mushroom ones that are savory. The closest thing I can think of would be a blintz. Wait a minute. I think blitnzes are Polish. (Google) Uh...Never mind. ;D |

Humm....I'm going to have to agree with STAMP; Pierogis are good but we always used cabbage leaves as the wrap not a crepes, as I noticed they were in Saur’s picture  Maybe it was just the way my Grandmothers side (the Polish side duh...) of the family made them, they were poor farmers living in up state New York, grew and raised most of their own food; Cabbage leaves would be cheaper then buying wheat. |

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i never was ashamed of my asian side, but being biracial totally screwed my head in high school. i lived in korea and japan for 12 years, and over there mixed kids and foreigners were common so i didn't get much prejudice. but moving to the US was a HUUUUGE culture shock. i didn't know anybody in this new environment; and instantaneously the asians befriended me at school. but i slowly noticed that the asians and the whites were totally off limits to one another, and that really irritated me since i was half white. i started dating a white kid, and my best asian girl friends totally stopped talking to me (only one still talked to me). they called me white washed. wtf? i am half white. i am not white OR asian washed. I AM ME. but that half thing just always made me so self conscious, i always felt left out- i don't know if it was all in my head. and even to this day, i feel like people judge me. i sometimes wish i was just ONE RACE, but i see myself in the mirror, and i just... try to accept me for the way i am, and hope that others would too. as for preferences, i think every race have their own unique beauty. whether you're white, asian, black, hispanic, mixed... we all are the same thing- HUMAN BEINGS. you know how people have types. i honestly can't give you my guy "type", cuz it's different every time i spot a hot guy. one day it's a white kid all spiffed out in A&F, another day would be a hispanic dude sportin' a puma sweat pants, and then on another day it would be a asian guy all glammed out in A/X. i can name one hot guy from every race. it's just impossible to rule out an entire race based soley on attractiveness. everybody has their own distinctive qualities that might even exceed physical attractiveness.  *nothing ever goes the way you imagined...* |

It's so true...the different races not only can be differentiated by physical attributes, but also by clothing...asians also like Banana Republic and all that designer black sh*t. |

What it comes down to is preference. You can't help it if you just aren't attracted to Asian guys or white guys or anything else for that matter. When I was younger I didn't like Asian guys-- but somewhere along the line I musta switched becuase so far all the guys I have dated pretty much have been Asian. But now I seem to be swaying back to the "white side." It's kinda wierd. I don't think I really have a preference. hey.. i'm exactly the same.. i first got into guys in early teens and i was in england there, and i was so into the blond/blue eye guys.. but then i hit 15-16 and got into my chinese-ness and it was all about asian guys, most of the guys i've gone out with were asian too.. then i moved onto EA where i'm currently at now! but, i have been starting to get interested in white again too.. although i'm picky, race/ethnicity isnt the main thing im after... theres a long list of things that go ahead of that!! ;D |

I think that what ever side ppl prefer dating is really what they wish they were more like. example: dating a white guy allows you to be more accepted into the white community or if you have children make it easier for them...and reverse. and your preference can change depending on your experiances and on where you live. but like me i have surpressed my asian side because if i people i told ppl i was asian theyd ask me "so are you japanes or chinese?" ughhh...very frusterating especially when u really look like neither..so i tended to stay away from that side to avoid stereotypes that pissed me off. but now im over that and i embrace myself fully and i must say it feels damn good, but i still am not that attracted to "asains" or white ppl all that much..mostly mexicans, blacks, indians, or islanders..ok indians are asians I guess.
