Of course, Korean girls aren't the only ones with issues. Many other Asian girls<br />

possess the same characteristics, particularly Vietnamese girls, and they can't seem to figure<br />

out why they end up with such sh*tty men. As many people know, Vietnam is a third world<br />

country, so the Vietnamese girls over there grew up very destitute. For some reason, when<br />

they emigrate to the United States of America, they suddenly think that they're above<br />

everybody, like they're hot sh*t. Don't ask me how this happens; ask them.<br />

They even choose to date specific Asian ethnicities by hierarchy— I call it the “ Asian<br />

Status Hierarchy”— from lowest to highest: Laotian, Thai and the rest of In<strong>do</strong>china, including<br />

the Vietnamese; third and second place are Korean then Chinese— but may interchange<br />

depending on whom you ask; and the top <strong>do</strong>g, Japanese. Of course, there are others, but I'll<br />

just talk about the essential ones. It's sad that there's a class system even within Asian<br />

culture.<br />

What's interesting about this Asian Status Hierarchy is that it's pervasive throughout all<br />

of Asian culture. What's even more interesting is that this hierarchical pattern, from lowest to<br />

highest, is the same as lowest to highest in nominal GDP— a country's total income, aka<br />

money! The bottom rung of the ladder is Laotian, who coincidentally have the lowest GDP,<br />

and the top of the ladder is Japanese, who coincidentally have the highest GDP. Do you see<br />

where I'm going with this? Not only is there dating prejudice among Asian ethnicities, but<br />

there's also money prejudice, discrimination based on wealth!<br />

If you <strong>do</strong>n't believe me about the Asian Status Hierarchy, go ask a Japanese guy's<br />

parents what they think about him marrying a Vietnamese girl versus a Japanese girl. Now<br />

that you know what I know, you won't be surprised at their answer.
