Big
Trouble In Little China
Jackie from Seattle Writes:
Dearest
french kicks,
how do i tell if a white guy really wants to get to know me or if
he just has a thing for asians?
 |
Josh: Dear Jackie, it should
be relatively easy to tell. If he cozies up to you, buys you
drinks and asks for your number he’s probably interested
in you. Otherwise he may have a thing for Asians. |
 |
Lawrence: The truth is white
men, like Asian men (I suspect), or even all men, care mostly
about beauty, exoticism and how that relates to getting closer
to having sex. |
 |
Matt:
I
knew a lot of white people growing up, and believe me, they
cannot be trusted! It’s not you he wants, it’s
your land! |
 |
Nick(via
Telephone): You
need to determine how specific and personal his interest
is. Is he asking you about you in any immediate way or is
he asking anthropological questions? Is he asking you about
mores and taboos? Does he speak somewhat forlornly about
westernization and the loss of a ‘certain simplicity’
that you know for a fact he has never experienced? Does
he shout questions about traditional Asian instruments at
you during rock concerts? A yes to any or all of these could
mean big trouble in little china.
