Kind of a metajoke, I guess, being something I’m tired of. In “ebonics,” saying “OK?” emphatically, as a question, means something like, “Can I get a amen?” (Obviously you’ve never seen a Tyler Perry movie. I wish I was you.)
It’s the most emphatic way I know of to agree with someone. Also it’s slightly racist, so it makes me edgy.
OK?
If you had an asian girlfriend you might be able to pull that off.
I’d just tell her to do it, and she’d obey.
So guys want an asian girlfriend to show that they aren’t racist, sorta “hey, I can’t be racist, I have an asian girlfriend”. Correct?
So I guess they are actually racist because they are picking(not picking) a girl based on her race not her personality. Correct? I think I might get it now.
Me, I like funny hot chicks. But we dont have many asians here, which really kills our social status I guess.
Hey look, a signature, and it’s free from the sig box
Lets watch it, see what it does…
I assumed the Asian girlfriend thing referred to this trend: Bruce Wasserstein marks “younger Asian girlfriend” of rich guy checklist.
See? I tole you.
My college hired me on as a writing tutor, and one of my longterm clients was an exchange student from Japan who was writing a long feminist paper on the value of whiteness in Japan. She spoke at length about how she’d been raised by her Japanese mom and Japanese grandma to think that she, as an Asian woman, was unattractive when compared to white women. It was an interesting paper, and professional ethics and stone-cold cowardice kept me from telling her she was beautiful. I wonder what she’d make of this trend.

Ha! I had a pretty asian girlfriend and black-framed glasses 25 years ago! And I drank cheap beer!
I still think asian woman are hot, so…
man, I can’t say what I want to say here anymore.
PBR: Professional Bull Riding? Pabst Blue Ribbon? Pert Boobie Recitals?
<covers mouth and giggles shyly>
Book or movie?
(serious question, not snarky.)
Movie. Mostly tired of cutesy references to it. (Cf.: every second post in these boards.)
Yeah, I hear you, but it is silly when people pretend to not even know where he is coming from. I mean, it is one thing to say, “Actually, I think it is a misconception that it is a fad; most guys with Asian girlfriends just happen to like a great girl that he has things in common with, and she just happens to be Asian.”
It is another thing for them to pretend that they have never heard of the idea that white guys date Asian girlfriends because they think it is cool to have one.
God DAMN it, people. Read the fucking thread.
PBR = PABST BLUE RIBBON
By the way, what the hell is it with bearded young men swilling PBR and wearing trucker hats at certain concerts?
Who the fuck is pretending? Why would anyone pretend to unaware of something so trite and meaningless in the first place? Did it ever occur to you that many places have no significant Asian populations?
Thank God we can look to people such as yourself to keep us informed on everything douchebag. Ignorance fought, maybe. Sorta.

There exist people more intelligent than you?
Interesting. And people wear these blue ribbons, yes? I can see why that would be aggravating.
Huh, I’ve never heard of the Asian girlfriend thing being a status symbol. I’ve heard of it being like “Oh poor pitiful him, he bought himself a bride from Asia because he __________ (can’t get an American girl/needs a woman who is docile/insert other ridiculous notion here).”
Learn something new every day!
