I have heard and read many times that many white people don't like blacks, gypsies etc. But how about asiatic people? What whites are thinking about them? Is existing discrimination against asiatics? Or they are in the same social category as whites?

I live in an urban area with close to 50% Asian population in a White Western country. Asians are looked down on because they are non-White, and Whites are looked down on by Asians (rich Hong Kongers) as being lower but higher than blacks and browns. Both European and Asiatic cultures have long histories and are both proud peoples...

They are thought of as quirky but thats it. If more people knew about the great history of China than they would have more respect for the Chinese. That said, they are unnecessarily some of the most nationalistic right now and butt heads with Japanese on who is superior. Im sure whites dont dislike blacks anymore than blacks dislike whites.

Australia has a sizable South East Asian population and there are always immigration debates concerning the numbers arriving here. Asians have a reputation for being smart and hardworking but also pretentious and their Chinese chit chat can get very loud.

Asians wish they were white. Plain and simple. It is true. I live in the san francisco bay area, this place is around 40-50% asian and I've heard on SEVERAL occasions asians saying "I wish I was white" "I wish I had blue or green eyes"
I've also seen so many asian women with white men I have lost count. And "hapa" (half asian half white) children are everywhere.
I think Asian people look up to the blonde haired blue eyed nordic types.

I have never heard that from East Asians. What I think East Asians suffer from is in the same look problem, a monotony of appearance. Stiff, sparse, black hair, dark eyes where the pupil cannot be seen and a yellowish skin colour. But that does not translate to "I want green eyes". The first people I knew who blonded their hair and wore blue contacts were all 100% caucasian and they did not have dark hair or eyes. I have not met a single East Asian who has worn contacts to lighten their eyes. I would think that there are more northern Europids who bleach their hair and do the contacts thing. In Australia East Asians try to perm their hair with limited success and dye it to a reddish brown colour. Blond and bright red not very often unless they are Japanese. I heard Whoopi Goldberg aka Cheryl Johnson say on a tape that as a little girl she wanted to be blond and blue eyed. It may be a black American thing like straightened hair and skin lightening creams. How many East Asian versions or Michael Jackson are there? None. Actually I think all those weird racial things like trying to alter one's racial appearance is almost entirely American.
The reason there are so many half mongoloid half caucasoid children in the Bay area is that the white men are attracted to mongolian women. They find the look attractive, erectile potential and probably believe mongolian women are dutiful, respectful, ultra feminine, non feminist and put husband/home first. All that could be fantasy, it is to me. I think mongolians are hidious and robotic, lacking creativity and inventiveness. Like the Japanese who are the epitome of plagarists and imitators par excellence. But one thing they don't want to imitate is caucasian looks whether blond/blue eyed or not. One thing East Asians respect is learning, affluence and power. At the moment that is in the caucasian court. It is the reason East Asians do like and respect negroes because negroes are considered to be ignorant, poor and powerless.

Where I live, I'd say about 90% of the Asians I see have blonde/brown streaks in their hair. or fully died brown hair.
Brown hair doesnt occur naturally in Asians does it? They only get black hair I believe.

And "hapa" (half asian half white) children are everywhere. I think Asian people look up to the blonde haired blue eyed nordic types. Yes, sure. And that must be the reason why Germans, English and other Nordid men are going en masse to countries like Thailand and The Philippines to have sex with Asian girls... or boys. Get real.

ITs not true to generalize that an asian cant have brown hair...havent you ever looked at Jackie Chan ?He is relativly lighthaired. I do think there will unfortunly always people who have some *racicistic* view.(And they exist in every color, so its hard to generalize and say whites all do like asians all asians like whites or whatever. Some people do color hair or have eyejobs like lighting the eyefold or some for what reason ever.(BTW: I dont think asians do look *uniform* not a bit. )

I don't think Asian people look up to blonde hair and blue eyed nordic types if that was the case they would be dyeing their hair blonde and wearing blue contact lens, and I'm not seeing that happening in the Asian community where I live. Here is a good article on Asian Americans intermarriage rates with whites, and some of the reasons why they marry outside their groups. www.imdiversity.com/villages/asian/family_lifestyle_traditions/le_interracial_dating.asp
