I'm thinking a westerner really should cosplay as the blog maker then send them a picture lol

If killkrazy likes them because they are asian, solely because they are asian, I would say that yes he is racist. If however he likes them for other reasons then it isn't racist.

I've been called racist for declaring I don't like the look of african women, the people declaring me racist conveniently forgetting I like asian women (generalisations both of them- there are exceptions to the my rule.). I then have to explain I don't like the general body shape and large facial features , personally I don't see the issue with that, it's personal taste.

That sounds kind of racist too.

Ok, riddle me this.

Killkrazy obviously has a large photo collection of cute asian girls. His flag indicates Japan.

So, if Killkrazy was not in Japan, or another Asian country, would he be racist for having said collection? Assuming his collection is exclusively Asian girls.

No its perfectly fine. Killkrazy is secretly Jamaican.

Fine, I'll rephrase then. ...forgetting i like women with fine bone structure who also cosplay correctly because they are cute... happy?

*edit because i wanted to explain*

Most people are attracted to specific physical characteristics, blond hair red hair, blue eyes, green eyes, curly hair ect. I happen to like fine bone structure coupled with brown hair and brown eyes. If it is OK for someone to say I love redheads, it's ok to say i love asians.
It's my personal attraction that's the issue, I fail to see how someone else can declare my personal attractions racist.

Not really, though much of that is unrelated. Still seems like exoticism, which can be a form of racism. It could also be that I am attracted to women. No ethnic justifications necessary. I like em tall, short, round, skinny, Asian, European, African, South American, blonde, brunette, ginger, strawberry blonde, native English Speakers, ESL, barely understand English, ect ect. I'm a modern day Benjamin Franklin.

Saying "I don't find person x to be all that appealing" is fine, but saying "I don't like African women" is a bit obtuse. Africa is a huge continent, and the looks and personalities vary greatly, yet you've boiled it down to one simple category. Same with the difference between "I find person X to be attractive" and "I find Asians to be attractive". There is a huge variety of Asian looks and attitudes as well, and some of them are truly, horrifically ugly people. Just like everywhere. So, I think it is a bit odd that you don't understand why people look at you funny when you define your attractions based purely on ethnicity.

I'm just attracted to women in general. Having specific "types" that you're attracted to never has made much sense to me.

Is there a way to let the admin know what is goind on in here?

I think the argumentation I made in my locked topic are very hard to defeat so the one who got their nail's head hammered by it have to use baseless excuse to report and asked it to be locked, awful.

1. I can tell ythat English is not your first language. I applaud your efforts here. Trying to discuss things in a different language is always difficult. Seriously
2. However I am slightly confused by your posts. Which are you arguing: A. westerners are racists; B westerners are not racists.
Further, what are you supporting that argument with?

My topic is about the westerners who claim Anime based on them that highly to be motivated by racist believe the same racist believe their ancestor have in the past who enslaved the native american and african which also passed on to the westerners who commit racism in sport, so not about the entire westerner.

And I'm not going to debate about my locked topic in here because the content and title are different.

Kajune, king of the run on sentence.....and a racist.

The statement is a generalisation it is not 100% true. I don't particularly find indonesians attractive but do find africans from one particular part of the continent attractive. If the generalisation is mostly true then it's much easier to say than an alternative description.
It might be great just to say I'm attracted to everyone, but for me this is not the case. The statement does not rule out anyone of a specific ethnicity, just points to my personal taste preferences.

Also in reference to this I am talking physical looks not anything metaphysical. Seriousness aside, it's on to the silly statements.....

I'll never say anything that could be construed as negative against Africans again, personal taste be damned. I'll try to be inclusive of everyone when I judge people on how attractive I find them.

Only if you dress up or try to take part in any way.
Probably best to just withdraw, really.

That depends. Are you Asian? If yes, then no. If no, then yes. At least if we're going by the rubric Kajune seems to be using.

The blog owner (is it also Kajune?) uses Asuka from Evangelion as an example in his video, but according to Wikipedia, Asuka is 1/4 Japanese and 3/4 German, while also being an American citizen!

How does that work!!?!?!?!?!

Don't worry the artists obviously based her looks on asian people. She only lives in america (Or wherever the hell it is) by an accident of geography.

And also because Kajune is a troll spouting absolute crap.

Sadly though, Poe's law is in effect, because people genuinely believe the crap he spewed.

If you can give a better reason than "why, it is so crazy it has to be fake" as to why it is impossible for someone to actually believe such lunacy when we all know that humans are perfectly capable of such lunacy I would enjoy hearing it. Are you friends with the author and so know that they are just trolling? Some other first hand knowledge?

Well we can assume he was a troll due to how persistent he was in coming onto this forum.
Thing is...
An extremist would be the same since they're all crazy.

Exactly. I can't say with certainty either way, but my gut says that in this case, considering all the time put into pictures and videos and other time consuming activities that he is the real deal. It wouldn't surprise me if it turned out to be a hoax, but at the moment I am leaning toward him just being off his rocker.

I'm half Irish and half German while ALSO living in America and being an American citizen! See? It works like that. Or more specifically people move around, one of Asuka's grandparents was German, the other was Japanese, their son or daughter married (or at least bred with) a full blood German, after immigrating to the United States (with the grandparents most likely) resulting in standard issue American genetic mutt Asuka.

I think he meant how does it work in claiming she is Asian when she has more claim to being American or German?
It's easy to believe someone is part German and part Japanese...

I just read the first paragraph or so.

"hurr durr westerners are racist only superior asians should be able to do whatever"

I mean really? How hypocritical can someone get?

Nah, I just find it so crazy that I hope it's trolling just so my head hurts less.

While she actually speaks german in the anime... admittely really gak german, but it's something. Never ask Japanese voice actors to do a different language, it will hurt your brain.

Along these lines, Francesca Dani is also one of the most successful international cosplayers, and she's Italian.
So yeah, I think we can all agree the guy's either a nutter or a troll.
But either way, it's amusing.
