I'm probably going to kick myself later for this, but i can't hold it in much longer... sorry well in advance to anyone who this offends or finds downright scandalous, no harm/ill-will intended

In response to someone's blog entry, all I have to say is that the Asian-Man's-Plight (AMP) is a bunch of hoop-la and baloney. If you find this offensive, like i said before, i'm sorry for stepping on your toes. But to hear this argument stated over and over and over, i gotta speak my mind. To all of you out there who claim that we are all suffering from the AMP to the n'th degree, all i have to say is, you are a product of your own destruction. Is there an unwritten yet universally agreed upon societal law/theory that goes to say that the asian man can't get a signficant other beyond his own ethnicity? Why is it that it so happens that it's always a certain few individuals that react so sorely to the mere notion that Asian's are stigmitized by society? What differentiates us in this day in age? What makes our case so special that it merits such a "public outcry" to reap reparations to our image and the likes? Is not all ethnicities the brunt of many injustices? For all of you out there who are thinking that the white man gets his way in everything, umm, since when did all forget about trailer park trash? Or how many more homeless people tend to be of Caucasian descent? When was the last time you saw a homeless latino? asian? I'm sorry, but those who say the white man gets all the glory, I can't agree with that. Sure, the white man may be ruling all the high executive positions and basically running this country. But it's not without merit. They were the ones who made this country great in the first place. They were the ones who laid down the foundations of this capitalistic society, not the asians, not the latinos, not the native americans, but the WHITE MAN. I'm not trying to discredit other races, heck, if someone does it better, more power to them. But one cannot ignore the fact that caucasians basically set up this country and made it to what it is today.
So given that this is white dominated society, that we asians, latinos, etc. are minorities, i find it presumptuous that just because we think we are better, we should be the ones running things around here, doing what we want, when we want, how we want. Many complain that promotions are not dispersed at the same rate as their caucasian counterparts, that just the mere fact of us being a minority discredits our ability to perform. Don't think that all of this is fair? Think this is all a huge injustice? Start your own business/practice then. If you can't the way things are run, then do it your own way. What's to stop you? This is a free country. You say you can't compete? Then answer me how did all those other companies do it? How did they survive? Did they have to complain to their "Foreign" counterparts that things weren't fair? If you work hard, things will happen. That's just a fact. You reap what you sow. Don't expect to bring in millions if you aren't willing to invest the time/effort to warrant such returns. Same thing with Asian-man's-plight. It's what you make of it. If you think that you can't get a certain "genre" of woman, then by-golly, guess what? You're not gonna get that kind of girl. Simple fact. Don't expect girls to come flocking to you and drop at your feet cooking you dinner and being the all-submissive servants you so dreamly hope for. Sure, nice dream, but nothing more. Like everything else in this world, relationships take effort. How can one realistically expect to find a significant other if you're not willing to try? And if you get dumped the first few times around, so what? Doesn't mean you have to blacklist that "type" of girl. Example? Ever wonder why you see some couples who are just mismatched? Probably because the guy wasn't afraid to ask.
It's just my opinion (and it's just that... an opinion) that we Asian men expect too much from too little and have ego's the size of SUV's. You want the white girl? You think it's out of your league? Think it's a social injustice? Think it doesn't exist? Oh, there are plenty of asian guys who have white girlfriends. Take a good look around who you hang out with. You're gonna date the kind of people with whom you associate. Want a white girlfriend? Start making white friends. Or just hit up the local bar/club and just start droppin' those cheesy pick-up lines and gettin' them digits. And i know how the argument goes. You're probably thinking that the media downplays us, that Asians are seen as meek, unsexy, blah blah blah, etc... You know what? You don't like it? Then do something about it. Don't sit there wallowing in your sorrow because the media thinks you're unsexy, cuz then you're just reinforcing the media. And why is it that society finds latino men so attractive? It wasn't always like that... until the introduction of one Antonio Banderas. Who did the latinos play? The maid/cleaning person in the background getting the brunt of the jokes. You're only as disadvantaged as you think you are. Call it the self-fulfilling prophesy, the "shooting-yourself-in-the-foot" phenomenon, whatever. If you want it bad enough, you'll get it. But you're not going to get it just sitting there at the bar, downing happy hour specials drooling over the "plethora of fine white women" while griping with your fellow drinking buddy about the AMP.
I guess my only advice in the end is, do what makes you happy. If it floats your boat, more power to ya. Don't be so preoccupied with other people think of you. You're just gonna be running in cirlces just trying to please other people and "look cool" in front of other. Do your own thing. March to your own drumbeat. Screw everyone else...


But that's just me... I'll shut-up now. i think i've given more than my 2 cents...
