Taben Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 "asian" is only meant as opposed to european, it doesn't mean we think all asian girls look the same Quote
Rhett Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 it's not a "we" thing, is it? is it the Europeans that decided that "oriental" was derogatory? I just would have thought that they'd want something a little more specific, not less... Russians, for example, seem a lot more Euro than Asian, ethnically. Quote

OriginalSin Posted March 7, 2006 Author Posted March 7, 2006 hmm i think rhett is trying to say that the term "asian" is kind of silly because it encompasses way too much, but when people hear the term they think of chinese, japanese, etc. i really dont want this to turn into a discussion about race though even though it is an interesting one. please try to stay on topic Quote
OriginalSin Posted March 8, 2006 Author Posted March 8, 2006 woot! lots of pretty pics to save! Quote
Rhett Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 nice adds, pers.btw, I wasn't going for some race thing, just the word itself. yes, I just think it's silly, that's all. Quote

amber69 Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 I dont like her face much but it's nice to see diversity on the runway. I just wish they would pick asian models that are considered pretty in Asia too and not only the really exotic types. totally agree. on a sidenote, I also think "Asian" is a silly nomenclature, because Chinese look nothing like Uzbeks or Jordanians. that said, I like your half-Asian avatar girl! I call the east asians 'asian' out of habit. Quote
