The closing question is fairly stupid; a 'no-brainer'. Does your post do anything other than enhance any reader's nominal conception of asian males as sleazy? I'm not arguing for silence on the issue. But for anyone interested in understanding how such behaviour came about, it will be obvious that propogating the notion simplistically in the way you do adds its own dynamic in making it far worse. It's pretty sad to explain this to someone who has not the excuse of being isolated from the objects of their casual disdain. Even for someone so lacking in introspection, has it ocurred to you how the asians you DO know act in your absence? Is it your wondrous presence that renders them unsleazy? Or do you simply happen to already be acquainted with the great majority of non-sleazy asians?
is it racist to...?
