Guys I think we need to calm down a little here. From my point of view, womanizer is just stating a fact. The vast majority of asian girls I have known (and I have known many, many asian girls from virtually every country in southeast asia, as well as China, Japan and Korea, told me that they would never date a black guy. They have told me this EXPLICITLY.
My last girlfriend was hi so Chinese and she told me that her parents are liberal and don't mind her having a foreign boyfriend. They told her they will accept any foreigner EXCEPT A BLACK MAN. I have heard this mantra repeated time and time again, and the view is pretty uniform across the spectrum ranging from poor khmer girls to the wealthy chinese and japanese girls that I dated in college. The reasons are more complex than simply that black guys are too well hung.
I admit this sucks, and it's blatant racism. But I cant believe that experienced mongers here who have spent anytime in asia dont realise that racism and xenophobia are rampant here. Surely you see this?
Are there exceptions? Sure there are. But they are very much the exceptions. None of us are immune to racism. No matter where you go, all of us will encounter it regardless of whether you are white, black, brown or yellow. I have lost count of the number of times in China and thailand that I have encountered racism personally directed at me as a whitey. You only realise the extent of native racist attitudes when you start to speak the language of the country you are in. But there is no doubt that black friends of mine fare the worst in asia.
The good news is that mongering is the activity where race matters least; money is the great leveller. So I wouldnt worry about racism from WG's. It will probably happen, but for every one who doesn't want to be with a black guy there will be many more who wont care as long as she is paid.
But I think its a little harsh to attack womanizer for pointing out what I thought was the obvious. Just because someone points out that asians are often racist, doesnt make the person racist also. This is a fantastic board and I love the fraternal feel of it. But lets not allow the disease of political correctness to creep in. Thats one facet of living in the west that I really DONT miss.
