One of those comedy funny songs by Asian-American comedienne Jenny Kwok, who wins kudos points because:

A spurned wife stabs another woman for having an affair with her husband. So far, so relatively mundane. But if it was in America, the court case would be full of screaming women.
This court case is in Cambridge, UK. The husband is 58. The wife is 61. The “other woman” (the one who was stabbed) is a 44-year-old Cambridge student. And hadn’t seen the husband for three years, according to her defence. To whit, this delicious quote:
I somehow doubt you’d get that kind of quote in a similar court case in Harvard or New York…
“A Chinese-Australian woman has taken out a giant billboard in a busy part of Sydney to advertise for a husband … of Caucasian appearance”.
Note that I in no way believe people ought to stick to their own or any other race when dating, but are we really that repulsive?
Oh.
I was talking to a friend online, who basically told me she expected the man to pay for all the dates. Her reasoning? That was apparently the role of a man – to pay for dinner etc., be “the man” outside, and that was just how she was raised. In return, she’d buy fine wines etc. and entertain at home …
I can’t quite begin to quite comprehend this state of affairs – on the very few dates I’ve had, I’ve paid for one, she’s paid for another date etc. — not quite equal but equal enough. Then again, I patently haven’t had many dates…
What do you think?
From a BBC South East Wales Talking Point on “Teen Mams” – “I now have four kids all with different fathers and I’ve just turned 18. … I have a new boyfrriend now and we are planning to have a child together when he gets out of jail.”
Either it’s a spoof, or someone else is sucking up my sexual mojo!
Just caught a trail for Big Brother US, which is showing on E4. The theme of the house is basically people and their ex’s – and they featured one Korean-American contestant, Jun who said that she wouldn’t date Asians any more because they had too many pre-conceived ideas of what Asian women should say and/or do.
Which is a tad strange because, erm…
a) I’m a British-Chinese male, and I certainly wouldn’t want a woman who cooked, cleaned etc. – apart from anything else, I like cooking!
b) Of the white guys I know and lived with who lusted after Asian women like my sisters, I’d imagine a fair proportion of the “fantasy” was the whole love-slave thing. Which most men probably have about women generally, of course.
Personally, I’ll date anyone I like – regardless of race. If I’m lucky ever to date anyone again!
