Why do some Caucasian people wish to become Asian?

Question

Many of my friends say they wish to be Asian instead of Caucasian. I'm really curious as to why they would want to be. I just think it's rude if I ask them >_<

Is it because Asia has more culture than America does? Or is it just because they find Asia appealing?

Answer 1

some people no matter who they are just are not happy with who they are.

Answer 2

Mayber your friends are just to into anime and asian dramas which led to interest in asian culture... If they ever go to Japan or something because they love anime and stuff, people actually look down on those type of people......

Answer 3

Not many caucasians I know want to be Asian but the overwhelming reason is to have &quot;intelligence.&quot; Here in America there is a stereotype in which all Asians are smart and they are all rich doctors or lawyers.

Answer 4

I don&#039;t believe for one minute that any caucasian guy would want to have such a small dingaling.

Answer 5

its because caucasian people, especially those living in usa, australia and new zealand, dont have a particularly rich culture that they come from, so they will try to identify with another place&#039;s culture so that they feel like theyre part of something. i find the only caucasian people who have a rich culture are those who come from west europe (germany, france etc).

then again within asia, there are certain countries people want to be part of more than others. most caucasian and people of chinese descent are interested in japanese culture and want to be japanese. its all just not being satisfied with your own culture and wanting more.

People just don&#039;t have any satisfaction in life. Most Asians want to become white also.  Honestly, I don&#039;t really find Asians that attractive especially in the East &amp; South East.

But frankly, I see several Q&amp;A&#039;s here about types of races that are the most attractive &amp; only a few said they like Asians.  Majority still go for Hispanic people.  I also know several white people who don&#039;t want to look Asian.

Answer 8

I think Asian eyes are just amazing.

But I don&#039;t understand why people prefer to be someone that they&#039;re not, either.

Answer 9

I know some people who said that...the ones that said that gave reason to be is that they think if they were asian they would excel academically,have long silky shiny black hair and they are very into the culture. Also anime contributes to this I think..but that&#039;s just from people I know. I&#039;m sure they won&#039;t get mad if you asked...I asked..I was very curious to know why o.o.

Answer 10

It&#039;s funny how people say the girls are pretty and they love the culture.  Who do you think build the great wall?  Here&#039;s a hint: not the women.  Asian men need more credit then what we have been getting with all the bad stereotypes and the infamous penile rant.

Answer 11

BECAUSE I LIKE ASIANS AND THEIR CULTURE

Answer 12

There have been a few hilarious replies on Q&amp;A today and the one above me is one of them.

I don&#039;t know of anyone who would want to be Asian.I lived out there for a very long time and found the reverse to be true.
