Since I was 2 years old, I have always thought of the male species as "So Pretty!". So, I guess as a little tatertot, I had "feelings" that I was pretty intune with at that age. But, the first man I every saw, besides Michael Jackson, that was of a different race was Bruce Lee. As cliche as that sounds, he was the first man of a different, "minority", color I ever saw. And I fell inlove with him...at age 2. I thought he was such a pretty man. I loved how strong he was and how he flipped in the air and he spoke. The first movie I saw him in at the time of this was "Enter The Dragon". To this day, I still think he was the most beautiful in that movie. So elegant and wise and strong.
So, what is the point of this, you ask? Well, since that day, I have grown to love men of every shade of the rainbow. All equally. But, for some reason, my eye always stayed fixed on Asian men. As an african-american woman, in my life time, I have grown to love interracial relationships. All different kinds and even my parents have shown their approval of me marrying any man I choose of any race. So, I feel blessed that race was never and issue, dealing with marriage, between my parents and I or my sibblings. But, I asked myself one day, "Why do I find Asian men appealing? Not just sexually, but mentally and physically?" So, I answered this in a way of explaining what kind of man I am looking for. So, here goes....
Black people and Asian people have a common history. A history of tribal matters, wars, battles, dealing with racisim, media discrimination and stereotyping...the list goes on. But, I always felt that asian men and black women have always been in the same boat when it came to being outcasted. Asian are looked upon as asexual (I think I spelled that right. lol.) and not really up to par when it comes to handling black women...and Black women are thought to be uneducated, masculine, loud, ghetto, and unattractive due to these qualities. But, as I spoke about this on youtube, I killed that stupid stereotype of black women as for those stereotypes of asian men. You can see the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7_Y_-PbI4s
I have always found asian men to be something of an exotic, forbidden, fruit. One that I hope to take a bite out of soon. I also feel that whoever God sets me up with, thats who I will marry. But, I wont lie....I would like him to be of the "asian persuasian". lol. My love for asian men goes deeper as it has nothing to do with their physical features. I cant really explain it...but, I just know that is something big...something soul stirring.
I know quite a handful of black women who are married to asian men...and I wish that this kind of pairing would be more common. I like to think that it is as its becoming more seen, for me, that is. People are being more open to dating possibilities, both asian men and black women alike. This makes me very happy...even word that Bi Rain, one of the hottest korean R&B singers, will be in a new american movie opposite that beautiful black women from "P.O.C: At World's End" and they will be a couple in the movie. Another ACTUAL movie with an Asian male and Black female pairing. I am so excited about this. Rain is a great choice and so is that young lady.
I think the country is ready for a change...and its about time it came.
