[DragonKnight]

Umm, I see these types of pairings in California all the time. Dunno what the dealio is. :confused:

[Adaon]

Eh. It's from New York. Everything's a big deal. :rolleyes:

[eos]

would be a big deal in chicago too.

[popculturepooka]

It's no big deal in Japan. (^_^)

[deez nuts]

Eh. It's from New York. Everything's a big deal. :rolleyes:

Negative. It's not a big deal here either. It's a NY times wedding announcement which means a request for a wedding announcement is submitted by the couple or the family or friends to be printed.

Oh noes, we're back to square one! WM/AF wedding announcement right under that Asian male-Asian female wedding announcement:

OH NOEZ!

Btw, my bad about the slight to New York.

I can't remember the last time the SF Chronicle/Examiner did such a thing on such a scale. Meh. I should pick up a newspaper and read more often. =P

It's all good. I didn't view it as a slight. I'd be the first one to say the whole thing is pretty stupid, but whatever to each their own.

People get married in SF? I thought it was all homos and lesbos living together as domestic partners? Hahaha j/k.

SO LOW! But so true. Heh. The closest thing to that happening around SF would be a couple of minority guys co-habitating until they get domestic partner status.

Eh, reading through part of the listing, there are more AF/WM couples than AF/AM and AM/WF couples combined. Something like 24 - 5 - 3

[deez nuts]

God will punish them. Those sell out Asian whores are gonna burn in hell along with all the homos and lesbos.

err... clicking on that link returns 18,434 search results. how many pages did you read to count the racial pairings...? also, a lot of Asian-Asian pairings are probably less likely to post an announcement on an English newspaper.

omg... who actually bothers to try to count that shit?

[snailpoo]

Dammit, this thread broke my sarcasm meter.

[AngryABCGirl]

get some lives.

[deez nuts]

Don't worry Asian dudes. We scored the "My Girl" chick. And they'll be in Frrrrrrrushing for good Chinese food.

Anna Chlumsky is going from My Girl to soldier's bride.

The 26-year-old actress, best known as Macaulay Culkin's gal pal Vada in the 1991 film My Girl, is engaged to Shaun So, 26, an Army reserve member who served in Afghanistan, she tells PEOPLE.

The couple, who live in Brooklyn, N.Y., are currently planning a wedding to take place next March.

"Shaun's family is Chinese, and my family is Catholic. So we're going to do a fusion of the two cultural traditions," Chlumsky said Thursday night at the Conde Nast Traveler Readers Choice Awards.

"There will be Lai See ... [money given in red envelopes]. That's what the children get during Chinese New Year. And you'll have a big feast. Both of our fathers are chefs, so food is number one."

Chlumsky's father is a culinary instructor in Chicago at Kendall College, while So's dad owns a Chinese restaurant called China Town in Topsham, Maine.

As for the location, it's "my church and then a Chinese restaurant," she says. "Flushing [N.Y.] is the place to go for good Chinese. I picked one dress, but you're supposed to wear a Chinese dress as well."

While the couple said that they will skip the traditional Chinese tradition of "kidnapping" the bride, they would like to include a tea ceremony. "You pour tea for members of both of your families," said Chlumsky, "and that's a consolidation of the family."

My Girl fans may be distraught, but Chlumsky says it's unlikely her old costar Culkin will attend. "I don't have his address," she said.

The pair plan to honeymoon in Italy for both the "food and the wine."

Chlumsky was kind of a cute girl, but nowadays, she is not within the realm of "hot".

She's not attractive. But, neither is her soon to be husband. They're both not ugly. They're just an average looking couple.

Guess you guys have higher standard than me.

I think she's pretty, not Hollywood hot, but for everyday, she's very cute.

Don't know what her husband look like though.

My point wasn't to say whether he or she is attractive.

My point is that in the land of whiny asian boys (w.a.b.'s) and femininist asian girls (f.a.g.'s) in a nation called Asian forums, -brace yourself- it is possible for the Asian guy to get a chick in the real world **gasp**

If anyone wants the right Asian marriage stats Dr. Le's www.asian-nation.org website has the newest 2006 stats recently updated.

http://www.asian-nation.org/interracial.shtml

P.S. The actual ratio for US-Raised Asians is more like 3 - 4 - 2 :wink:

[YelloFello]

Anna Chlumsky is very pretty in my books. She looks like the marriage-material type of gal that you would bring home to your parents.

I actually came across a photo of the couple on another site. To me, this Shaun So guy definitely looks hapa/Eurasian.

The article is almost exactly the same as his old one. Other than adding some new acronyms, I'm not sure what has been updated? Have pan Asian marriages increased or decreased, etc.

Well if he is, he's the result of an Asian man and a white woman because of his last name. SCORE ANOTHER ONE FOR ASIAN DUDES!
