@Bierbasstard nice, funny.

I get that, too, only insert Japanese...

Good one

@thinktwice this might be of interest topic for the dating. Because I had something like this happen on a date.

@Mokvon yeah...for me, it was a big hurdle because white guys in particular had some stupid notion that just because my eyes were slanted, so were my private parts...such a stupid and racist thing...there are a lot of sexist/racist things attributed to the sexuality of Asian woman...we are not all small, tiny, submissive, blah, blah, blah...first dates were often last dates for me because I never put up with that shit....

@thinktwice LMAO! I like to go to galleries and museums on my days off. I made the acquaintance of one lady (anglo and affluent) that I ran into often at one museum. We spoke often about many topics. And on one occasion she asked to become her escort to parties and other functions. Turns out she was the museum curator. I had to ask why she was interested in me. She was forthright and said I could fit in with her crowd. At the first gathering I learned it was because I was of Mexican descent. I was a 40 year old boy toy. In central Texas it is a plus.

@Mokvon In the scheme of all that is happening in the world, there are worse things, I think, than people trying hard to figure out anything about those of us with other culture backgrounds. I give points for effort if I feel there is a genuine desire to own up to stereotypes and misconceptions and learn...we can all learn more about each other and even laugh when it is done in this manner.

A Mexican boy toy...yeah...I can see that...ha ha ha ha

@thinktwice I feel dirty now. To be honest my Spanish suck! I only got better dealing with patients at work who don't speak english well.

@Mokvon lol I don't speak Japanese at all...and oddly, I probably speak Spanish better than you...too funny...what a mixed up group we all are! ha ha ha

@thinktwice picture clinical 30 years ago. Doctor with learning Spanish as most do in Texas. Well he was delivering a baby. I and a dozen people standing watching and learning.
He was saying to mom "push" in Spanish which is "Empujar". He shortened the word to "pujar". So he was "pujar, pujar,pujar,then at came out "puta,puta,puta. At first I thought I was not hearing right. But sure enough he kept saying puta, puta,puta. I started to giggle. As did a few others. The nurse in charge came back room and corrected him. The look he gave us. Ran from the room scared.

@Mokvon Oh no!!!!!!! Even little kids know what that word means....ha ha ha ha

There are also a lot of "c" words that people get confused...you can either be crazy in the head or kissing my ass...ha ha ha

Cold. I hope you slap them.

@Mokvon I'm not a jerk. The only similarity is my hair and some can't see past that.

@DaphneDarling it was a look based around minimal input from me. Oh, and the desire to grow lots of hair while I had the chance.

@DaphneDarling thanks!

Urgh.

So annoying.

WTF? THOUGH I will say one of my Jewish friends said to me once " so and so may be jewish" I said Why and she said because she looks Jewish! I was horrified and she laughed.

@DaphneDarling i wasn't there but my impression is that it was NOT the same person! i also think she had this kind of backhanded compliment a lot throughout her life.

@GreatNani weird, huh? a friend of mine once pointed to a guy walking across the street and refer to him as a "dirty jew." i said "what's his being jewish have to do with whatever you've got against him? you're jewish and so am i! why do you say that about him?" she started listing bad qualities he had, none of which had to do with being jewish, nor even with false stereotypes about jews. they were just bad qualities. so i asked her what it had to do with being jewish and she wouldn't change her assessment of him. self-hatred is the worst kind of hatred.
