how'd you know she was racist towards blacks?

reply

i would actually say that jackie chan is nicer than brad pitt and tom cruise, but i dont understand the point of this thread or anything.

reply

well, angelina jolie only goes for rich executive producers who are old enough to be her dad. so did zeta jones with michael douglas.

wonder if they also have "kinder" personalities combined with photogenic looks?

well... i'd say that most "vogue" magazines have very few asians and blacks in them.

reply

Racist against blacks? Where did you get this from? Last I saw, Jackie Chan is Asian.

reply

Yes it's possible, and why wouldn't she. Interracial relationships isn't everywhere but it's slowly being recognized. Anybody from any race can like someone from another race, unless there is racism involved obviously. In terms of these relationships, I usually see blacks with whites, blacks with Hispanics, and Asians with whites (usually it's an Asian girl with a white guy). It's harder for an Asian actor to get accepted with other races because of simple fact that the media in the U.S. doesn't care about them and neglect the Asian community. Thus they get less exposure and that's exactly why questions like this gets asked. In places like Hong Kong there are HUGE Asian stars, and the questions will be more like "would she really like a white dude instead of Andy Lau, Jackie Chan, etc?" However I doubt they'll ever get big stateside due to the reason given. If more directors gave Asian guys roles other than some old wise monk, fighter, pretty much all of the other stereotypical roles, then they'd get more recognition and acceptance.

Yep, many whites Marry asians didn't you know?! Except they're male whites & female asians.. rarely the other way around (bruce lee is an exception I know, and he HAD to be that famous to do so! loL)

reply

Really dumb thread...With some stupid replies.. Of course there are asian and white people dating/married etc.. quite alot more than most think. And NO its not just white dudes with asian wifes etc.. UNLESS ones view of life come soley from the media, movies and TV.

In the REAL world Ive seen alot of asian guys with white girls. I personally know of 5 such couples, one is my older sister(my family is of german/american decent) who is married (10 yrs) to a very nice 3rd gen japanese american guy.

I live on the west coast so Im probably around it more, than say someone from the midwest or the deep south :)

Bruce Lee was unknown when he married Linda Lee, and not exactly rich...

reply

I liked the fact that her character seemed to have an attraction to Jackie Chan's character.
There's nothing odd about it in my mind.

Who, and what scenario are we talking about here, and why are you asking, and.. what?

Look, even if you are going to write such a short, pointless message, at least have the courtesy of starting with a CAPITAL LETTER, ok?

Sheesh.

Anyways, to answer your weird question, it's not about NATIONALITY (and do you think those guys are available just for any chick? How little choice do you think they have?), it's about STATUS.

Pretty much any 'chick' would choose Jackie Chan over some shy, penniless Brad Pitt/Cruise-lookalike, who lives with their mother and who supplicates to women and acts like a total nerd around them.

Jackie Chan has multiple forms of status - his nationality is not an issue.

That's why you often see relatively attractive-looking chicks with really ugly men, and why there are so many handsome virgin-men.

It's not about nationality, it's not about looks, it's about STATUS.

Status basically means 'Man's place in hierarchy between men in a way that's important to a woman's sex module'.

It sounds a bit complicated, and is less intuitive than men's sex module's desires (basically "goodlooking body" (face, hair, etc. are parts of the body)), but it's pretty simple, when you realize how it works.

Basically if a man can be in any 'important' way better than the "average joe", that's status.

Here are SOME examples of men with status:

- Outlaw biker
- Celebrity / Famous man / Known man
- Preselected man (married, having lots of women, seen with women, for example)
- PUA skills (even if he doesn't use them, but is 'known' to have them)
- Alpha Male (a 'natural' PUA)
- Rich/Wealthy/High in 'corporate ladder' - the 'status recognized by world'
- Murderer / Rapist / Violent criminal (they get love letters from women)
- Alcoholic Band Member / Guitarist, who drinks the woman's money
- Violent thug / Psychopath / Sociopath
- A skilled man who knows what to do in any situation (MacGyver, for example)
- Confident man (usually overlaps many of the above)

And so on. I am sure anyone can figure out more themselves, easily.

Notice I did not say anything about a man's body - not his looks, not his eyes, not his height or fat factor, because those do not enter into it.

I know it's hard to swallow that women's sex module doesn't care about a man's looks, because women do have eyes, and they can admire many things with those eyes, and they can (and frequently do) talk about how 'gorgeous' some man was, or seem to drool 'handsome' men, and seem to be fans of known 'handsome men', like Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, George Clooney (though I find his looks merely annoying, not handsome - I can't understand why anyone would see him as good looking, even), and so on.

But when you realize two things, it may become easier.

1) Women PROJECT. What a woman doesn't know, but hopes for, she projects. So if she sees an unknown handsome man, she immediately thinks that he must be a doctor/lawyer/criminal/CEO/alpha male/PUA/alcoholic/or something similar. She immediately PROJECTS high status, so she drools. If she knew immediately that the man is a penniless linux-nerd, who lives with his mom, and has no ambition whatsoever, she would freeze sexually faster than a sneeze in Siberia.

2) Women can admire looks, beauty, handsomeness completely OUTSIDE their sex module. Women's admiration and visual scanning is not directly attached to their sex module, but the visual data has to go through their birdbrain first! So when a woman sees a good ass on a man, she doesn't immediately get sexually turned on, like a man would in reversed situation, but instead, she starts projecting and processing, and gathering more data, until she is ready to give all that info to the sex module. If the sex module is satisfied with the data, then, and ONLY then, will she be turned on. If it turns out the (imagined) data was wrong, sex module is turned off faster than a flick of a switch, and the moistness of her 'between-the-big-toes' is just a memory of mirage in the driest of deserts.

Remember that when a woman admires something visually, it can also become emotional without becoming sexual. When it's visual, intellectual and emotional, an outsider is hard-pressed to tell the difference between that and a woman being sexually turned on. Heck, women can't even tell if other women are interested in certain men or not, according to studies.

So it's a mistake that you think nationality or race would make a difference (in some way, when not talking about celebrities, race can alter the basic status of a man, by either adding to it or substracting from it, but that's too long a topic to get into right now - it also affects women, btw.), when in fact, only STATUS does.

A celebrity chinese man always beats a non-celebrity caucasian man (provided that there is no other status involved, but especially Jackie Chan being a SUPER celebrity, not just an ordinary celebrity, means that the caucasian would practically have to have a SUPER-status as well in some form, to even be able to compete).

Besides, Jackie Chan has masculine traits that most men don't have - his muscles have always been more refined and useful than the 'average joe's' and although the status has nothing to do with the body usually, his extreme training and physical abilities, combat ability etc. affect the woman's sex module because that's the form of attraction called: "Being able to protect your woman", which is a very important core point in women's mate selection.

So, yeah - it's VERY conceivable that pretty much any woman would go for Jackie Chan, if she had the chance.

That's the best thing that I have ever seen on imdb. *beep* I larfed; ; so funny but so true. Brilliant.

I hope that you have deep cover.

reply

Jackie chan is pretty charming and seems pretty cool. He doesn't take himself too seriously so i guess she would be interested in him. It is hard for an asian guy to get a white girl though. I know it does happen but it is quite uncommon.
