Sorry if this has been done before, (I'm sure it has) but searched for it and came up with nothing for at least a month before I joined so...
Anyways, though it already seems that this forum is not exactly stuffed and brimming with Asians, I wonder if the stereotype is true in most cases?
I'm half Asian but I guess uhh... only the top half as I've said before :biggrin1:, I must be one of the exceptions to the stereotype if it is indeed true... If I was all white, shit, I might be 12" long, who knows (the other half of me is pretty much hick white, by the way)
Granted that Asian half IS Filipino, and I've heard some stories of Filipinos who are of mammoth proportion :wink: Hell, lots of people don't even consider us Asian, but I think that's for other reasons anyway...
Heard a uhh... myth? Or maybe it's true? Makes you think anyways, about the whole Asian size issue... Asians eat lots of food with Soy in it, and Soy contains estrogen (think of how many womany products on TV advertise Soy). I heard somewhere that when consumed during one's formative years, it can stunt the development of the err male organs, leading to that stereotype. Basically soy turns you into a woman :lol: So it's not genetic, it's dietary thank god.
I guess I'm lucky, my mom never could cook and I grew up on TV dinners and rare steaks rather than anything with soy in it. Most people mistake me for middle eastern anyways... and my dad's southern type accent rubbed off a bit on me, so I'm good for confusing people.
Anyways, discuss. And am I the only "asian" dude here?
