Let's hear it!

Let me rephrase that.  Really starting to hate Southern Maryland.  Closed mind racists is what the majority of the women are.

Majority.  50.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% counts as majority, and if I were to ask every single woman out that I meet that was born and raised in this part of white rural America, I'm 90% confident that more than 50% would deny me a date because of my race.  Sure this is based off anecdotal evidence of 100% of women finding an excuse not to talk to me or make a weird face at me after I make the effort to start a conversation... and why I don't go to bars anymore.

For what it's worth, I like to think that I'm not a racist in any way, but I also don't find non-white guys attractive in the least. I'm perfectly happy to have multi-national and multi-gender friends (and by multi-gender, I mean.... nevermind :) ), but I only find white guys attractive.

I apologize for being part of the problem. :)

Yeah, I don't think it's fair to call that racism.  I think that what a person finds attractive is somewhat innate, and is therefore misclassified if it's called racism.

If they don't want to date you because you're Asian and they think that means you're going to be frugal and angry about grades below A+, then it's probably fair to call it racism.  If they don't want to date you because they prefer how brothas look, then I definitely don't think it's fair to call that racism.

It's completely fair to call it shallow, since I'm guessing it's pretty much based on appearance, but unless you've known the person for a long time, what else do they have to go off of that's as certain as appearance? ;)

That said, you should come to Hawaii -- asian/white couples are pretty much the most common kind here. haha.

I try to convince myself I'm not racist, but I'm not sure anymore. I know quite a few black people who are intelligent and can speak proper English, but working in the Dells, I notice a pattern. I don't hate them cause they're black and retarded, I just hate them cause they're retarded. The fact that I meet more black retards than white retards (okay, I meet a ton of them too) is just a statistic.

Really starting to hate rural America.  Closed minded racists is what the majority are.

Wow, yeah, I hate those people and their broad stroke generalizations....

Ditch Maryland.  Come up to Philly.

Oh, also, that opens the door for another rant from me!

You said that 50%+ of girls wouldn't be interested in you because you're Asian.

Well, according to statistics, somewhere between 1% and 10% of guys are gay. That means that 90%+ of guys would instantly have no (romantic) interest in me. So if you're worried about 50% not being interested in you for the way you were born, up to 99% aren't interested in me for the way *I'M* born. Boohoo. :P

I'm still not used to depriving myself of my 8 hours of sleep a night right now... lol.

The Austin Hot Sauce Festival kicked my ass :( Their salsas and hot sauces were just too spicy. Seriously, I had two little spoonfuls, and then proceeded to have the worst hiccups of my life.

That said, I'm still planning on going next year. :)

[Joe]

this vodka is terrible.

why do i do this to myself?

I've never felt so good about writing a Battle.net bot before.

[Blaze]

I don't understand.

[Joe]

Let's just say that using sockets in Cocoa / Cocoa Touch isn't necessarily straightforward.

[dark_drake]

I didn't realize how big the Che department here was until sitting through hours upon hours of professors trying to recruit me into their groups :S

That said, it's nice knowing that there are more spots than students this year :)

It's much cheaper being an Android developer.  :)
