why are the white guy and asian guy so much debase in our society?
white guys and the asian guys are often depicted as the nerd, idiot, pervert in the tv or movies than guys of other races. of course guys of other races do depicted in those category too but the most as got to be the white and asian guys. usually the guys of other races would be the cool guys, often telling off and make a joke out of the white/asian guys. and the cool guys would have to be the black/middle eastern type. do you think this is pure racism clearly shown in tv and movies everywhere? are darker skin guys really more attractive in a commercial sense than lighter skin guys? and most important of all. do you (man or woman) buy into this? your views?
all races gets their negative stereotypes but the nerds and the desperate horny boys are mostly white and asian. how often do we see a black nerdy boy on tv?
is a dark skin guy really more attractive than a light skin guy?

I would like to call this a perverted sense of what is right and wrong.
Asians and Whites have long been held in high regards and thought to be superior for their achievements and intellegence.
In decades since a world where people had different and more racist opinions, there has been a strong liberal movement which is trying to replace wrong with right. This phenomena of which you speak has its roots in this movement which is still sweeping across the world.
From a more realistic stance, this is doing more harm than good. It is causing anger, resentment and hatred. You don't fix anything by tearing down one person and lifting up another. In a strange kind of figurative way, it can be compared to the Treaty of Versailes.

I havent noticed this. There are negative stereotypes of all races. Traditionally light skin in Black and Asian culture has been seen as more attractive. In fact many bleach their skin in extreme cases. I am not sure about Middle Eastern cultures. So I am not sure what you are referring to.
Stereotypically White and Asian families hold education to a higher standard or importance than others. Perhaps this is part of the reason those from these cultures are made to be the nerds in movies.

Well I am a Asian, ethnically Manchurian, which is the same as Chinese. I think that all East Asians are practically Chinese. Japanese and Koreans are the oversea offspring of Chinese between Fiji monkeys and Seoul apes. This is clearly my biased sinocentric view that China is in the center of the world and outside of China proper the rest are all savage barbarians. I grew up in China so the notion of white girls that have “blue eyes and blonde hair” is really common. My grandparent always tell me marry a “金发碧眼的女郎”. Well this ironic because my grandparents are in fact Xenophobic because of the Opium War and stuff. How can you hate someone you encounter but still prefer their physical features. This has partly influenced by perception and preference for white girls. Of course there are pretty girls from all different ethnic groups. There are asian girls that are really good looking except most men in China prefer blonde white girls from Russia. In this Chinese movie called 中国合伙人 one of the Chinese college student’s girlfriend is a American blonde exchange student and thus he always boasts about it. In the ancient Chinese belief that people of blonde hair with blue eyes and extremely white skins are descended upon heavenly figures. Well I do have a preference for white blonde girls, I don’t really have guts to ask them out. The common belief is that when a man makes great accomplishments such as a successful business and is not inherited, then he would deserve to get the girl.

I don't agree with ur poor white guys story, what about Arnold Swartzinager, Russel Crowe, Batman, James Bond, Rambo etc? I think a lot of East Indians are portrayed badly in movies though as well as Russians and other slavic backgrounds and some asians, then again there are some great role models as well like Brandon/Bruce Lee and that guy in Ong Bak etc. Yeah, I am not seeing ur point really concerning white males, sorry, I think it's the brown people and the east europeans that are bearing most of the brunt of what u r saying here. Then again Hollywood is just making movies based upon our cultural biases that already exist in our society today, other wise they would not be making one red cent!

Well i do see this in a all black movie or TV show because that's how blacks like to make themselves look more cool or whatever and make white guy or asian look all nerdy or really prepy.
If its a white movie or TV show i don't see it much though they don't really think about it.
Well their is Steve Erkel that's one exception to the rule.

Interesting, I seen two male nerdy black guys on Disney.
No I think dark and light is fine, as long as they are 100 percent male by brith...no former women.

Uh, and other races are overwhelmingly portrayed as much worse than nerds, such as criminals, including murderers.
You're cherry-picking entertainment to support your case.
Your main claim is simply false.

I'm not seeing it. The only negative crap I've ever seen or heard is that asian guys have small peckers.

^--and those criminals and murders are all glorified by the public
