life as a baller
Meaghan O on Short Girl-Asian Girl Rivalry
me: i feel like i am always competing with asian girls. i think we must share a constituency. maybe it's a height thing?
jay: no. it's a geek thing.
me: ah. there it is.

Sean's commentary: When I was at Berkeley, I was often accused of having an Asian fetish. But I'm 5'7" and pretty geeky. I like short girls who read lots of books regardless of ethnicity; Asian girls simply dominated that demographic where I lived. So I'm not a sexual imperialist; I'm just elitist and height-ist.

Omar's thoughts: Wouldn't Asian girls dominate most every demographic if you were a student at Berkeley? For instance - I like girls who go to football games; wouldn't this still be mostly Asian at Berkeley? I mean, the only way you get a demographic where you might avoid Asians would be to say something like, "I like girls who love lactose, have never considered a career as a doctor, and have huge knockers" ... huh. That's actually a pretty decent triplet of requirements ... ok so it's possible.
