Caucasians aka white people

Agree. It's the Singaporean culture that's so annoying to the world, even Li Ao has a problem with it.

The more I see posting about SPGs and white expatriates getting girls, the more it is starting to irritate me . I used to think white guys are scum due to singaporean socialising . Used to hate them like crazy , yeah they take jobs from singaporeans , yeah they take girls/guys from singaporeans etc. I have a newer perspective now .

I have been staying in Australia for quite a while . I work in a majority caucasian organisation. In Singapore , I don't get calls from colleagues who are concerned about me when I get admitted to hospital or sick . In Australia , my caucasian colleagues come and visit me in hospital , express their concern etc ,or give me a call to check how I am going. Once , one of the caucasian neurosurgeons actually shifted me into his busy schedule a few months ahead of his appointment load because my fellow nursing colleagues ( the white and singaporean ones) actually asked him for that favor to see me since I was a former nursing staff in the neurosurgical ward. He is a nice guy who didn't wave me off on my concerns with my cervical and lumbar prolapsed discs. Sometimes I see him around and he asks how I am . In Singapore , I don't really think that will happen unless you are actually a personal friend of a doctor or some powerful AND rich fella.

I turn off one nice caucasian guy who liked me alot because of my parents' say so and my misguided notions especially when I thought of the SPG stereotype. I literally told him off stating that all white guys seem to think we asian girls are cheap etc . He told me not to use racial overtones on him and not all white guys are after sex - yes some can be horny as hell . They are basically as human as everyone else - they want friends too - people who they can discuss their interests, problems, ambitions and hopes etc. They are physically more open because of how they were brought up . A hug and a kiss can be their normal greeting of saying hello . None of the caucasian guys dare to hug or kiss me because they know asian culture can be conservative regarding opposite gender contact . The girls , however , would hug me when they see me.

Now I have an american caucasian friend who I have a teenagelike crush on . He is cute and refreshing in many ways . So what ? Does that make me an spg ? He doesn't care how I dress - and I mean HOW I DRESS - I am tshirt and jeans type of person on my offdays . I read how one girl says she has to dress skimpy to attract caucasian guys . Well THAT IS TRULY SAD . I don't need to dress skimpy to talk to one , let alone act like I don't mind their type of greeting. He knows that I don't like to be hugged and kissed like the other caucasians and he respects that. He can be playful and smack me on my arm for fun but he doesn't even bother about my appearance . He will tell waitresses to back off in a sarcastic tone if they try to pick him up when I am around him . Mind you even though I said Hey it is ok. Our relationship is strictly platonic .

Most asian guys I go out with wants me to dress up so that I can look nice to their friends ...really what kind of shat is that . My caucasian friends don't even care whether I put make up or not . If I look nice , they will complement me on it . If I look like crap , there is always a cafe we can relax and chit chat about everything under the sun.

I find that some singaporean guys have so much insecurities that they have to go picking on white people . Oooh they take away our girls because they have bigger d**ks ...oooh they take away our jobs . Not their fault it is happening - some of you project a large amount of insecurity which turns people off whether guys or girls. AS FOR THOSE GIRLS WHO THINK THAT THEY HAVE TO DRESS LIKE HOOKERS TO GET CAUCASIAN GUYS - YOU SERIOUSLY will look like a WHORE to them and WILL get treated like one . Hey what u see is what u get , right? Please dress more respectably is all I advise . You get more respect that way.

Get over it ...move on. If you cannot get a good job in singapore , look elsewhere instead of moaning about your low paying jobs or thereof lack of career advancement . That is what australians/americans/europeans do mostly , they get bored in their countries , they apply for overseas jobs which open up another area of the world for them to explore . Not to mention they will have a new area of expertise to compete with you back home. Can you actually believe my singaporean working experience came in useful in australia? It open some new avenues for me when I thought it was useless but my caucasian friend said use it and I did . Make urself mobile , don't tie urself down .

Most of all quit moaning about caucasians or people dating them . It's a globalized world . Think of what can you make your future out of urself rather than blame someone else for your inadequacies . It doesn't project well on Singaporeans when someone does the anti caucasian thing.

PS the ones I find always complaining about the quintessential ang moh are actually the ones I find always kissing the ang mo arses . Come on . If they did wrong , tell it to their face. I do that and I do have some problems with my colleagues regarding that but hell , they know I am very blunt and straightforward which they respect . How the hell would I even be a senior staff then?

Nope , I am ugly as hell Twisted Evil

It is dangerous to cultivate hate for ang moh. Look what happen to Bali. The extremist hated the ang mohs and eventually killed them.

LeftBallBigger SG

people are people everywhere Wink

i had friends and colleagues who called and called on me when i was flat on my back in hospital here..

and i've had friends over in melbourne when i was in uni who skipped classes to make sure i was well when i fell ill in uni..

and i guess it's coz we did the same...

it's the things we do, the choices we make that shape our immediate surroundings.. and who we let into our world that determine who our friends are Wink

i guess that would be the same everywhere in the world too Very Happy

This post, in my opinion, is a fair and non-biased one unlike what we see in ABR's posts. Mr. Green

Welcome back, Fymk. Please do not feel too strongly about Bout au Revoir and her rants. She is just some thrid-rate reject from Hardwarezone. I suggest to ignore her.

launtpc SG

We are SG. They choose to go West not our problem. Open the door, kick them out and never let them come back.

You mean you don't wanna look nice? You feel more comfortable with those run-of-the-mill clothings and slacks?

How weird that is considering you are a female. I am very concerned about my wardrobe personally. As a well-dressed man, I definitely want my girlfriend to be equally well-dressed as well. It will not only carry an air of confidence around yourself but it will also make you appear more persentable to others.

Please do not give the Caucasians the impression that Asian women are dressed in a horrible way. [/b]

Yeap! This is indeed a good discussion with no flaming unlike the ones brought up by the "couple" we so famously know of.

Generalisation is not always a wonderful thing to do, although seemingly we tend to fall for that category as in one student from the university acts strangely, hence all from that university will act strangely prior to even looking up what is in the source. This is prejudism.

I prefer to handle things through case by case basis, individualization, that's what they call it. Treat people as they are, not by general facts.

What you have just said reeks of several things:

1. You are a vain man who is more worried about what others think of you than how much you care about each other. You are also a sexist by implying that all "females" must dress well.

2. Caucasian men actually don't mind a girl that dresses casually or comfortably, because caucasian men prefer relaxed settings to snob-parties.

3. Caucasian men, if they see a very well-dressed, made-up woman in a bar, think "high-class hooker" rather than "well dressed asian woman". A woman that dresses casually and comfortably is seen as being more "herself" than a poser in a suit.

Sad to say, but people like you give asian men a bad name and reinforce the pro-caucasian mentality.

i agree with wat u said mostly. However, there are also MANY singaporean perverts as well, so i dont understand why the white people are given this bad name.

Shad_666 SG

Correct. The singaporean men are just as horny as caucasian men.

I guess it's just that the caucasians stand out more because of their skin color and height.

Be GLAD that caucasians mix with asians!!! Their daughters tend to be HOT.

ukdecay SG

well, all men can be perverts. but i have to say that singaporean men are very bad perverts... they tend to come across as needy and pathetic.

whats with this very specific finger pointing?

Tshirt and jeans can be matched nicely with runners. Hey I didn't say I didn't comb my hair or didn't wash my face. There are many ways to look smart instead of piling a thick mountain layer of foundation , mascara, concealer , eye shadow and liner , blush and lipstick , and dressing up with bloody uncomfortable heels like you are out for some big event premiere when it is actually a walk in bloody orchard road . There is such a thing as au naturel beauty , in case you have not noticed . I am who I am - not some made up pansy .

Of course tshirt and jeans cannot be worn to a formal event but I am refering to casual outings.

AND YOU ARE AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF ASIAN GUYS WHO I AM TALKING ABOUT Smile . THANK YOU !

fymk SG

Depends on who you meet . Some want trophy conquests , some want a relationship.

There are decent guys , regardless whether they are caucasian or singaporean ,who are out there. One example I know who is a decent singaporean and married to my ex uni classmate , he is a damn good husband who pampers his wife like no one's business. They remind me of my parents alot - very loving couple . There is this decent bloke of a caucasian guy I know who cuts off contact with every single girl once he is attached in a serious relationship . He recently resumed contact with me when his relationship broke down ( after 2 bloody years - I get a sudden hello from him) .
