So again, this post isn't meant to be racist or anything (though it might be better in Social Skills, not sure), I'm just wondering, has anyone else encountered this problem with making Asian friends, either just for platonic friends, or for dating? How do you get around it?


My background is that I'm a Chinese Australian male whose grown up in a predominantely white anglo-saxon protestant community. Most of my friends in my life are whites and I enjoy doing a lot of their activities such as sports, having chats with people, going to the beach and learning how to fix things like cars. I've valued a lot of advice and wisdom my white friends have passed onto me and will never take them out of my life.

Having said this, I have Asian friends as well, but when Im amongst them I usually feel that I am the odd one out, mainly because I've grown up in a white community while they've stuck more to their own group of people. I'm usually the loudest, most adventuorus and sporty amongst them, and I don't even think of myself that way at all! Despite this, my Asian friends and I still have a deep feeling of mutual respect and understanding between ourselves. I still enjoy going out to eat at Chinese restraunts and doing activities with them just as I am with my white friends. Conversation doesn't tend to be as deep and touchy, but I do still feel a good vibe of friendship.

Have you considered taking up language classes or learning how to play Mahjong or other Asian games ? That might be one way for you to connect

Yes yes yes, language and culture, the two key things for this sort of problem! I love mahjong, it is so fun!

You made me think of a funny scene from the first Harold and Kumar movie

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbwYbtJVQbU[/youtube]

I couldn't find the whole scene--just the first 21 seconds of it. They really make fun of the stereotype of the Asian student.

Well my GF is an asian woman. We have been together for five years now. She migrated to Aus with her parents as a teenager and became a lawyer, she earns more money than I do at the moment since I am living off of a PhD stipend.

Yep, and that there is my problem. Asian girls won't date losers like me. In your case, lawyer to boyfriend with PhD isn't much of a gap.

I was thinking about this today. I go to a place, well, where a lot of rich people go and realized none of the girls/people there liked me either. Why? Because I'm not like them. I'm not rich/preppy. Mind you I live in like the richest/preppiest place in the nation almost, but yes.

There's a good deal less Asians that are like "sup I f****d up my life and live with my parents and don't go to school" than other races, it seems.

^ You sometimes feel like you screw up your life by extending your education indefinitely, on the contrary. It never feels right in the place where you find yourself. I see a lot of people rejecting education who find their place in the world that much easier.

There are a lot of guys like that in the Philippines and Thailand.

In other parts of Asia, a man might still be living with his parents, but would be expected to be working hard and supporting them.

Asians who migrate to America generally do so because they want to work hard and make lots of money. We get la crème de la crème.

For people from some countries, like Korea, the workload is smaller if you migrate.
