My documentary on Asian men & non-Asian women

[Le Sheng Liu]

I'm working on a short Youtube documentary on interracial sexual/romantic relations between Asian men and non-Asian women. I need folks to interview (below are the questions I would ask). If you're interested in participating or have any questions before deciding, let me know and we can discuss how you can contribute. I'm trying to arrange webcam or chat interviews for those of you who live outside California. let's do this!!!! :)

And here is my website if you wanna see my previous documentaries, films, and presentations on social issues....

1) How and why did you become interested in Asian guys/non-Asian girls? Was there any particular reason you developed an attraction to them, or was ethnicity not a factor? What differences (if any) have you noticed between Asians and non-Asians as sexual/romantic partners?

2) Tell me about the xxxperiences (parents, friends, relationships, breakups, etc) that have shaped your view of men/women. Like any positive or negative feelings you have about the opposite sex, how did you develop those feelings? And how much is race a part of these feelings and views?

3) In your view, is there an ideal sexual or romantic lifestyle? Do you think marriage or monogamy is important? Why or why not?

4) How do you feel about meeting people on the internet? Do you think the web is an appropriate place to find potential partners? What are some advantages vs. disadvantages of internet relations vs. "real-life" relations?

5) Would you say your xxxperiences with the opposite sex, asian or not, have been influenced by the media? Do you think commercial depictions of people have affected what you're attracted to?

1.) I was NOT looking to get with a Asian guy. I was a young 20 year old looking to date hot men. Seen this HOT guy I thought was a Mexican guy and was like I want that. I am NOT into Asian men still even though I married a Corean man. Though, I LOVE him to death!! I find if a guy is HOT, I don't look at race.
I have not noticed MUCH of a diffrence MUCH.." He WAS shy.." But, not anymore..." That is about all I noticed about "HIM" as a person. Not because of his race.


2.) Kind of HARD question to answer.." I dated White guys way more than Black guys. Then when it came to Black guys I would NOT even waste time with USA Black men. :( I would hang around the African boys from work in Kansas city. I dated.." But, they thought that Black USA girls were easy.. :(
I even had one have his sister call my home and said that her brother was going to kill himself because I liked a White guy at work more than him. So, I left them alone also. When I got into the Navy, I still dated White guys.

Tell you what..."

I will PM you and you can E-MAIL me or call me..."

Tell me about the xxxperiences (parents, friends, relationships, breakups, etc) that have shaped your view of men/women.

Why do you always spell "experiences" like it's a porn title?

[nekohead]

Interesting topic, good luck with your documentary.


1) How and why did you become interested in Asian guys/non-Asian girls? Was there any particular reason you developed an attraction to them, or was ethnicity not a factor? What differences (if any) have you noticed between Asians and non-Asians as sexual/romantic partners?

I grew up in a 99% White suburban community, and was brainwashed by American media and society to think White women were the most beautiful. I had crushes about and dated White women, I wasn't attracted to the half dozen Asian women in my grade, and it wasn't until college and reading Asian American studies books that I realized how self hating and White worshipping I had been conditioned to be. I would bet a lot of Asian Americans grew up in a similar way. Now I pretty much am only into Asian women because I think it's hypocritical to be an Asian American activist and with a White person romantically.

2) Tell me about the xxxperiences (parents, friends, relationships, breakups, etc) that have shaped your view of men/women. Like any positive or negative feelings you have about the opposite sex, how did you develop those feelings? And how much is race a part of these feelings and views?

My friends, movies (I used to watch a lot), MTV, and accepted social norms. Race is definitely an aspect in attraction, for those who say they are into Asian (if they are White) or White (or Asian) naturally are full of crap.

3) In your view, is there an ideal sexual or romantic lifestyle? Do you think marriage or monogamy is important? Why or why not?

I think monogamy and long term marriage is becoming harder because of the current views by both genders in America.

4) How do you feel about meeting people on the internet? Do you think the web is an appropriate place to find potential partners? What are some advantages vs. disadvantages of internet relations vs. "real-life" relations?

The internet probably allows you to cast a wider net but it can also be really misleading.

5) Would you say your xxxperiences with the opposite sex, asian or not, have been influenced by the media? Do you think commercial depictions of people have affected what you're attracted to?

Definitely. Mass media creates social norms and stereotypes more than it simply reflects society. A lot of sexual attraction, how we see ourselves, and how we see other Asians and other races, is influence by mass media's power to shape social norms and stereotypes.

Oh the sweet irony of it all LOL

Oh the sweet irony of it all LOL

Would this be like rain on your wedding day? Or a free ride, when you've already paid? Or good advice, that you just couldn't take?

And who would have thought, "It figures"?

I make no judgment on your motives or goals in making this documentary, and I will keep my own opinions out of this. As a documentary fan, however, I wish you the best of luck and hope you succeed.

I will keep my own opinions out of this.

Why? I wanna hear your thoughts, esp. if they are critical. Honest feedback is what a developing piece of work needs.

[RAGE]

These are my thoughts , if this documentary sheds a negative light on Asian men then I would say don’t make it . Do we really need more negative stereotypes ? We all know about the dating and marriage imbalance within the AA community but is this something we want to proudly announce to the rest of the world ? I’m all for correcting this problem , but only in a way in which it is done in a dignified manner .

My honest opinion is that this will not have any effect, regardless of its accuracy. I've always been of the school of thought where self-improvement and action (i.e. breaking stereotypes on an individual basis) has been my MO in dealing with the media and cultural mess we as minorities are subject to. That's most likely due to my minimalist philosophy though.

The reason I believe this will have very little effect is because of my experience with these things - by all means, I could be wrong, and I hope you will prove me so, but that's just the way I perceive issues like this. I've always been cynical towards these types of things; not bitter, but just accepting that the media is what it is, and there are better things to focus upon than trying to influence it.

To put it simply, I look forward to seeing your documentary, but I think that it will have very little purpose. This is not meant to discourage you from making it (making documentaries is great practice and experience), nor is it a cynical gesture - I'm just speaking from my own experience. Don't take it as factual, what I'm saying is pretty much purely subjective and seen only from one lens.

Best of luck bro.
