Ahmm...racial discrimination has existed since probably the beginning of time.

I'll just step one removed from the Americas though...and the British colonialism system of the commonwealth had a very stringent viewpoint on blood, etc. Which was different than the Portuguese who went to Brazil.

But, if you go back before that, it was the Europeans who felt Africans were inferior (among with everyone else) and moving people around, etc.

If you read Said's 'Orientalism', it'll talk about Europe's viewpoint of Asia as well. You'll see skin-color issues once again.

Even within Europe, you have tons of Jewish issues in the somewhat recent past, which was HUGE. But even modern days, muslim assimilation or particularly lack thereof seems to one of their major political issues they talk about all the time.

On the other hand, you go to almost anywhere in Asia, and the possibility of emigrating to most of those countries is nearly completely non-existant altogether for a white or black person to suddenly decide to become, say 'Chinese' or 'Korean' or 'Saudi' or something.

Someday when you land your first 'white girl', I doubt she'll have one-tenth the problems with people discouraging her from dating outside of her race than an Indian female or Korean female would from their respective cultures/families.
I doubt it. I am not Indian or Asian in case you are wondering, I am Iranian and Black/White mixed, mom looks like a White brunette but is Iranian and dad looks like a Latino but is Black and White mixed.

Actually, I was at a party one time, I notice that Indian women and Asian women badmouth their male counterparts excessively. It really makes them jealous when they see them date out, maybe not Asian women but surely Indian women. I have Indian friends who have dated White girls and Indian women who didn't even know them started shouting at them. LOL one of my friends who is Indian got shouted at by an old Indian lady who was the grandmother of an Indian girl who had a crush on him and felt entitled to him.

Usually in the more conservative cultures, it's expected that the girls stay extremely faithful to their 'ethnicity', so when they see a double-standard, they sometimes get quite pissed off about it.

With your ethnicity, you'll do fine in Europe. European women like that kind of mix. From having lived in Europe for a year (Spain and Austria), I never observed them chasing a say 'Chinese' guy or anything like that.

But mixed race with some black is very popular, as are some of the persian looks as it appears exotic.

The West Coast of the U.S. is the big racial mixer though. Just a whole lot more racially mixed people on the West Coast.

The East Coast is going that way, but slowly.

They won't be dating a blonde who is a 9 on a scale of 1-10 even if they look like a Bollywood actor or like Daniel Henney, at least not in America, or in my experience at least not in virginia but people do say it is more "racist" compared to other places.
Lol...that's interesting. My brother picked up a strong 8/9 blonde white chick from a prominent rich southern family.

So much for your theory.

The manner in which white women are described on this thread is disturbing. Its like their some kind of product or something. Also, is getting a "white chick" the goal of many asian men or non-white men in general?

The OP set up this discussion on the basis of a rating system. So yes, a "hot woman" is a product (regardless of race really). She is subject to the laws of supply and demand the same way that a "hot sports car" or a "rich man" is.

And let's not pretend we don't know this is true. :-)

Getting a White chick is indeed a goal for many men because those are the kind of women they are around.

Lets drop the political correctness for a second, you go to a big name university or any top notch place in America, White people are going to dominate by numbers. And I can guess by your name that you are probably asian, most asian women are busy chasing the White guys so whats wrong if an asian guy wants to chase a white girl?

You guys are acting as if I am saying White women are superior to all other kinds of women. Such isn't the case, problem is, they are more in number.
