		<description>I forgot to mention the mainstream media aspect - I think the present media tries to be sensitive re: the race relations topic. It could be one of the most &quot;backlash-able&quot; aspects in the media.  As a matter of fact, I think the media wants to depict racial diversification to portray the level of the so-called &#039;openmindedness&#039; in society today, moreso than the past.</description>

		<description>Larry, you bring up a good point in re: race relations.

In this day and age, there is a diversification amongst the dating/mating scene.  All races date either their own kind or outside their race (either preferentially so).  But it&#039;s a hypercritical topic, as if one prefers another &#039;race&#039; then that those ppl are considered betrayers to their own kind.  And if they prefer to date their own kind, then they are not being open-minded. Either way, one gets judged. As for Asians - we&#039;re an interesting species because I think there is a lot more judgment perse within our race. Historically, we have imposed a subconscious categorical tier amongst other asians.  Reproducing within the confines of our own ethnicity was once more prevalent than it is today. Most other asians I meet today are mixed with something.  I wonder if even 100 years from now how many people will be roaming the world with &quot;pure&quot; chinese blood or korean blood etc.  This brings up another topic: the occasional &#039;identity crisis&#039; of those that are mixed.</description>

		<description>Actually, there is a political ramifcation this video brings up that we talked about earlier with the NYT wedding videos: Why don&#039;t you see more &quot;Asian on Asian&quot; love in the media?

In the mainstream media, you always see the stereotypical AF/WM duo. But even when you see some Asian guy--like in this video--it&#039;s often as a AM/non-AF couple.</description>

		<description>Haha...Jin, beauty and cuteness are &lt;i&gt;totally&lt;/i&gt; political!  If he were with a fat girl with zits, activists would lump his form of representin&#039; in with William Hung&#039;s!</description>
