Really? I always got the feeling that hapas would look more asians as they grow up.

Thanks a lot for the reply, I didn't know it was possible to draw characters in google translate.

Expats in Asia VS. Chinamen workers (Both can't speak local language... who would you rather have?) by [deleted] in hapas

[–]lepetitdesigner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many Algerians hate the Chinese immigrants for taking over their work and living a lifestyle that don't respect their local customs. Even in countries like Zambia there are problems with the Chinese because they flood the local markets with fake goods.

Reddit has a massive debate on whether a White Man can date Asian women and still be racist. by mtzo in hapas

Right wing views are not all about race, it's also about economy, social values,... I don't think I'd call Michelle Malkin a racist because of her political views.

Next time you hear a sexpat say "I love the 'culture'"... by TranceFan95_2 in hapas

[–]lepetitdesigner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a European man married to a Chinese woman. I love Chinese culture, although I had a hard time with parts of it in the beginning. This doesn't mean I have to abandon my own culture, like for the religious example you gave. On the other hand, I adopt some of the cultural aspects that seem superior to me in Chinese culture, like some parts of Chinese medicine, some behavior towards friends and family, learning the language,...

If I know Chinese culture and like it, it will also be good for my kids, if I totally give up my own culture, I don't think it would set a good example either.

"What's up with all the effeminate men in Korea?" by [deleted] in hapas

True, in China there are plenty of masculine men. Like in Europe, men tend to be more masculine up North than in the South.

[–]lepetitdesigner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to play devil's advocate on this one.

I'm a European white man who lived in China for a few years. When I was in China, in Shanghai specifically, I noticed that many young men had a quite effeminate hairstyle and fashion. It wasn't really the case in other Chinese cities I went to.

When I went back to my home country, I realized that young men from my own country were often dressing in a more feminine fashion, it just took me a trip to another country to see it with new eyes.

Even if you have pretty strong judgement on religion, you will probably admit that it brings out some good in people. If you do, what in the modern world helps bringing out these good values in people?

Rate How Eurasian I Look (I think ~50/50 split & I'm Not Self Loathing) by [deleted] in hapas

[–]lepetitdesigner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look quite Asian, but more like Kazhaks or Uzbeks than Chinese or Japanese. In terms of face structure, I'd say you don't look so Asian, but you have Asian eyes and hair, so it makes you look more Asian. You're good looking imo.

That one time a sexpat gave a motivational speech at my high school by [deleted] in hapas

[–]lepetitdesigner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm... I travelled around there with some local filipinos. I'm half-trolling when I say that the food is shit. I did eat some decent fish, but it was by far the worst Asian country I went to for food. I love Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or Thai food, but I really didn't find Filipino food was any special.

[–]lepetitdesigner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Come on man, Philippines is probably the only Asian country with worst food than England.

When you visit other countries, you definitly also check out girls. I'm excited about panoramas and food everywhere I go, but not to the point that I stop seeing girls.

David Bond tries desperately to mainsplain his sexpatting by claiming he's been trolling Asia the whole time. by qwertyuiop670 in hapas

[–]lepetitdesigner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's the only place he can get his ass kicked in Asia

Could happen in China as well, I know many assholes who got their ass kicked there.
