It was friday night. I was with my date and I wanted to see this Korean film that was only playing at Cinema duplex( I think that's what it's called) . I read a article about this Korean film called "Time"(I write a separate thread about the movie itself) and it sound interesting and wanted to see it.

Anyway, the movie theater is located at 5 Av. on 12 street which borders near Union Square and St. Marks place. For those that live in NYC knows that that area is CCB infested.

But what surprise me was the yokojohn couples I saw in the movie theater. I think I was the only Asian guy there and we were the only Asian couple. This is a small theater but half the audience that showed up were YokoJohns. It was so bad even my date felt uncomfortable. She even mentioned why are they all with white guys.

Hahaha anyway I told her in this neck of the woods you going to see allot of it here but what I couldn't understand why did allot of them show up to see a Korean film.

My only guess is the film is consider artsy and well the artsy crowd is consider to be very liberal but only in the sense of being "white liberal" and for many YokoJohn crowd they tend to fit that profile.

Eh, when you have 40% of Asian women in the US married to white men, you're bound to come across them.

This is a very cynical view, but maybe you saw so many of them because it achieves two important objectives for those Asian girls:

1) They go to a Korean movie, thus re-affirming their allegiance to their roots and deflecting any possible accusations of selling out

2) Nevertheless, they get to show off their White boyfriends in the process

There are only a few events where you can do 1 and 2 together, and going to an Asian movie with your White boyfriend is one of them.

puwahahaha, so true.

Movies are a popular date choice for a lot reasons... the biggist one being that you aren't required to communicate to your date for about 1.5 to 2 hours. You just sit there next to them. With the occasional "accidental" grope with they reach for the popcorn. Now, if you consider how many FOBish K-girls who don't speak that much English like dating white guys who usually don't speak much Korean...

BAM!

Movie date is the first pick.

Or as I used to say, "Hell no, I won't go to movie with you! I only go to movies with people I DON'T want to talk to."
