Yellow Fever On why white girls won't date Asian guys.
Hahah, yeah this is very uh, overwrought. Almost unbearably so. Maybe it would be funny if I was an Asian dude.

I thought that was pretty decent. College film to be sure but the tact was there and it wasn't that bad, and I was really worried it would be one big faux pas, which it wasn't at all.

I, a white woman, married an Asian man, but I wouldn't have if he was constantly, even jokingly, referring to Asian women as "our girls" and making similar racist remarks. Video was awful.

While it was clearly a student film with amateur actors, the concept and a reasonable part of the comedy works.

I know a girl my age (24) and relatively hot who was dating a 45+ year old Asian dude who was obsessed with her. It was rather disgusting to me, actually, because I wanted the chick. She was Ukrainian.
I also know one chinese girl who isn't attracted to white guys at all. She thinks they all look the same.

I thought it was pretty good for an amateur film. The ending was a little weak, and sometimes the acting was a little bit too exagerated, but it had some very funny moments.
As for the underlying premise, I hadn't noticed that the Asian/White relationship was biased one way or the other, but I don't have very many Asian friends. I'm half Chinese and have never dated an Asian girl.

it was kinda funny, but at the same time, interesting point. another interesting point is, why are asian guys so stuck on dating within the asian category? see, i'm indian, and i like ALL types of girls.
By the way, that indian dude had it all wrong, as much as I loved the forced accent. We desi folk can hold are own(I've dated, white, asian and indian girls). Again, however, I see a lot of my desi friends dating ONLY indian chicks.
Why don't people mix it up? Really?

I love all the anecdotal "I know an Asian guy who dated a white girl" evidence. I don't need statistics to know what I see every day, which is way more white male-asian female couples than white female-asian male couples. Over the years, the trend seems to be equalizing a little bit, but it's still skewed to the former.
I notice because I'm the product of the unusual combo. And when my parents met in the early 50s in NYC, it was really unusual. So unusual that my Dad was threatened with beatings and my parents ended up eloping and disowned by their families.

ereshkigal45, I agree with you about the useless anecdotes, and I certainly see a lot more asian female white male couples, but.. It has been suggested to me that I am just more likely to notice it in one direction than the other, which might actually be true.
Also, I believe that in the 60s and 70s the trend was white woman with asian guy. I know quite a few children of such couplings - "Why is your last name Cheung?"

I think the film should have touched on another aspect of interracial dating, that it's much more common to see black male/white female couples than black female/white male couples. I'm not sure if the Jet Li's "Romeo Must Die" was trying to make a statement on how many single asian men and black women there are out there and that things should be brought about full circle, or something.

[caution: entering a non-PC zone]
A sub-theory: really, really hot Jewish guys often have a thing for Asian women. It's so predictable that one day I was walking down the street in Manhattan and saw a really beautiful Jewish dude walking by himself -- curly black hair, green eyes, wiry frame from playing tennis or soccer at Jewish day camp when he was a kid, the whole deal -- and I thought to myself, "Jeezus, where's the hot Asian girlfriend?" Then she ran up and kissed him.
Stats? Don't have any. Video? Don't need one. Call me a field anthropologist.
Yes, I have issues. In the gay world, I'm considered a "bear" (not that I hang out in the gay world -- I don't), and though I often think Jewish guys are cute, they never think the same of me. Thus, I have gone out with non-Jews all my life -- blonds, redheads, and so on -- and am very happily coupled with a sweet Midwestern guy. From the outside, that looks like I'm exercising my own preferences -- "He's obviously another self-hating Jew who only goes out with goyim!" -- but it's quite the opposite: goyische guys like me (thank G-d!) and Jewish guys don't. And it's noticeable how often the Jewish guys who I think are cute have Asian girlfriends.
Maybe I'm nuts. Or maybe there's something cultural or genetic going on.

Hey, it was obviously a "project" film, where half the point is the techniques you're learning how to use (or in this case, not overuse). I thought it was funny and well-done for that genre.
Just to comment about the style; it's patterned on a style that's common in Hong Kong cinema/television with a sprinkling of Manga.
Funny, I thought this guy must have a good memory of Parker Lewis Can't Lose (and to a certain extent shows in a similar vein such as Malcolm in the Middle). But maybe PLCL was ripping off Hong Kong (as well as Ferris Bueller).
In any case, the reality is that Asian-American men do face inequality in the marriage stakes, ironically to the same extent as black women (and in both cases, the inequality is in fact worsening over time).
For Asians and blacks, intermarriage is a major issue, affecting around 20% of each population directly (and many more indirectly through relatives). For whites, though, intermarriage is still a niche issue -- fewer than 1 in 20 whites will marry someone of a different race.

Because it's a joke about stereotypes regarding penis size, of course.
Did you not notice the laboured manner in which the Indian guy points out that Asian men have little confidence.
The understated punch line, as Hildegarde points out, is his joy in realizing that white men suffer precisely the same anxieties too, only they fear their women will desert them for the myth of the huge black penis.

"Hybrid vigor" is nice for the hybrid, perhaps, but genetic diversity is good for the survival of the species.
Genetic diversity is not effected by interbreeding. "Race" is really only related to a few superficial traits anyway.

really, really hot Jewish guys often have a thing for Asian women.
I'm Jewish, and I like Asian women--therefore, I must be hot!

Fucking a girl of your same 'race' is like fucking yourself - a little weird. Everyone should blend. What a wonderful world it could be.
You know, it's odd by I really do feel that way. Dating within your race does seem a little 'weird' to me, even though everyone does it.
My white college girlfriend is married to my Filipino college buddy. So there.
Filipinos are mad pimps.

I should say, though, that I have primarily asian friends, and while I'm not wasian I do feel more comfortable around asian people. I don't think that's exactly a normal thing for a hot Jewish dude, and it's most likely the reason I'm interested in asian girls.

bobo123 -- exactly.
The reverse is also true in Romeo Must Die, where although there was a supposed romance between the characters played by Jet Li and Aaliyah, they never actually kissed ...
Mind you, I have heard (third party -- not sure how true it is) that North American girls had quite a thing for Russell Wong in that film.

Isn't Russell Wong a halfie?
(Halfie Chinese/Western girls are teh total hotness)
I dunno - is it so much ethnicity as physical characteristics? Skinny and short black dudes vs. dorky white dudes, vs. tall kung-fu wide-shouldered asian dudes?

"You know the real reason why the white guys are getting our girls? Cuz it's Friday night, and we're playing DDR."
The most honest statement in the entire student made film, and perhaps its funniest line. It's not about skin color or whether type A has more or less hair than type B. In fact, to improve humanity's chances for survival in the future, we need several generations of interracial reproduction. Looking at the royalty of Europe you can see many examples. By the time England got to the Tudor line, reproducing at all became very difficult, because the royal class society had developed blueblood thinking it was important to not dilute the royal line, when the upshot of it was they effectively married cousins of each other, and that leads to inbreeding, which leads to an increase of stillborns and otherwise weak offspring.
Science has proven that it's crossbreeding and more dynamically diverse genetic differences that promotes hardier and more evolutionarily adaptable descendants. Whoever invented this whole racism thing? And somehow convinced (still) a frightening majority of human beings to believe it? Dey wuz wack, man.
So if you find yourself today in an interracial relationship, or an interracial marriage, congratulations! You are on the road to helping improve the human genome for generations to come! Maybe generations from now it'll be considered weird and even gross to see a white guy with a white girl, or a black woman married to a white man, or an asian chick with an asian dude. People will point and laugh at them and make the same kinda jokes people today make about cousins in Arkansas. You know. Like the Clintons.

That seems a bit silly, when one considers that interracial relationships are often described in terms of being a disease ("yellow fever", "jungle fever", etc.).

...Oh. For those who bored and didn't watch it toward the end, give it a second try. It's kinda like Sex In The City, but for guys... So it's more like Sexless In The Dorms. And the punchline's kinda predictable, but still funny. Admittedly it's a bit of a moral thing where there's a lesson to be learned and in that way it's kinda After School Specialish... On second thought, don't watch it all the way through. I think I'm going to find me a spanish chick and try to forget I ever saw this video.

Oops. Perhaps a Freudian Slip. I meant ..black woman married to a black man... In the context given, I would hope everyone understood what I meant to say, having given two other examples.

This is the triple-threat of annoying MeFi threads:
1. arguing assertions based on anecdotal evidence
Aren't you needling there?
2. racism
So no discussion of race related preferences is possible without it being called racist?
3. link to a page filled with dong photos.
LOL, perhaps this vs this would have been more politically correct?

yay. penies jokes. how original. even though the film was mildly entertaining, i hope the kid didn't get above a C grade on this thing.
I really liked the "Listen, Asshole" link btw... hardcore. they need one for every ethnicity now.

I used to hear the same thing from my asian-american friends. They were the same ones running around making home-made kung-fu movies where they would whip nun-chuks around and inevitably hit themselves in the balls, or execute a roundhouse kick to the head of a friend that would accidentally connect. Hard. I think the herd might have thinned themselves out by now though...
