What I meant by what I said is that all people have to work hard including Caucasians, I can't even believe you think that white people just skate through life. Do you also realize now that if you have a qualified white person and a qualified asian applying for a job, the asian will get the job just based off racial profiling? Don't come in here giving me your asian american stereotypes bullshit acting like you are the only race with any sort of issues.
What? What? Excuse me? You really think racial profiling works in FAVOR of Asian Americans? Perhaps you should realize that anti Asian American sentiments have never left just because we're not working at the railroads.

Steve, I agree with your previous statement but I live in NYC and I can tell you it matters here. Many many times, whoever I go out with would say, "Everyone's looking at us" when I'm around the Times Square region. Sure when I'm around the Union Square or the more liberal areas, no one would care but it is the majority that do and the minor that doesn't.
I think you need to realize that you live in the real world and that all people are not friendly. People stare, get over it.

I think that you need to open your eyes a bit and accept that the real world isn't all nice and perfect as you make it out to be.
Um... there are actually Caucasians that works their ass off and so many other people of all backgrounds that currently resides within the United States. Again, I'm Asian and I will admit I work hard, but I don't think it gives me the right to say I work harder than everyone else. No one works harder than my God or your God having to listen to people bitching every second of the day(Does not apply to Atheists) . I don't believe t_co is racist because of his post. He has poor choice of words, that is all. He believes the male Caucasian deem not fit for the female Asian he has feelings towards. It was the alcohol talking. Yes, it was wrong of him claiming he deserves what he wants because he assumed he works harder than the male Caucasian. However we must not "beat the dead horse" as they say, otherwise he will forever be a lost soul and chose not to be found. t_co whatever you do, take some action! I support you 100%. Come back and write about it.

The sooner you stop looking around and complaining about what other people are doing to you and focus on yourself, the quicker you realize your life is not as prejudiced as you think it is. Everyone works hard, everyone is stereotyped. Just get over it and stop hiding behind your nationality.
Honestly, the reason he's with her instead of you is that while you act like a groveling little bitch, mumbling through dinner, he's an "obnoxious douchefag" (read: cocky/funny/confident) which, as we've discussed ad nauseum on these boards, is what often attracts women to men.
To be blunt, most girls would rather have a doberman than a hyper-sensitive rabid puppy. I think you should quell your feelings of entitlement to her that seem to be founded on the fact you're both Asian.

Sounds like you have a fuck load of issues to work out.
I was confused about the edits at the top of the page at first but ya you say "if only I was white!" like it would help you be less of an awkward nerdy raging kid. =\
edit: also struck me funny how you LOVEEEEE her for being "artsy" then you slam him for talking philosphy when they go hand in hand.
Are you a CS/Economic asian like the ones you bashed in your op? ;p

Are you serious? I've never felt that way in NYC, especially tourist central Time Square. That place is swarming with Asians, I can't imagine people stare at you because you're Asian, your self consciousness must be completely in your head.
edit: I can't get over that you distinguished between Times Square and Union Square by saying one is a "more liberal area" that therefore don't stare at Asians.
the first post screams "oh hey, lets focus on an aspect that is completely outside my control and ignore the fact that she probably doens't like me for many of my other flaws which i have conveniently ignored by blaming it on race"
I love the way all these people call him racist and respond with all this random shit about the railroads and the struggles of the White Man in America. Hey, dumbasses, he never said it was easier for white guys until you brought it up, he said this guy was cruising through life (he's doing grad school, which many people do see as avoiding going into the real world to get a job).
This thread is awesome.
The OP is beyond a mess (lol linking to "a Western scoundrel in Shanghai, yes he's a playboy asshole, but dude, read some of his shit, he's like "Oh we used a condom and I couldn't finish it was no good so she gave me a handjob" and then he tries to claim he's better at sex than Chinese men, lololololloolololol), the white guy in the story probably is a douche (lol philosophy major, she probably will be supporting him - nowhere did he say white people have it easier dumbasses, just this guy is avoiding work by going into grad school), and all I can say is I feel sorry for poor Em.
Anyways to the OP you've got a lot of good advice if you read between the racist remarks and hilarious replies. It's never easy to get over the one that got away but if worst comes to worst you can always close your eyes when your with emily and fantasize, just remember not to moan out the other girls name.
