I can’t believe you are using that article to defend your extrodinarily sexist views about Asian women. The data in the study is from the 1980 census. Do you realize how different the asian community has become since then? You can hardly apply what is outlined in that article to today’s Asian community.

Here is more recent data based on the 2000 census:
$40,700
Median income for Asian men in the U.S. in 2000 – higher than the national median of $37,100. For Asian Indian men, the median income is even higher still: $51,900.

$31,000
Median income for Asian women in the U.S. in 2000 – higher than the national median of $27,200. For Asian Indian women, the median income is even higher still: $35,200

You will also notice that things have changed significantly for Asian Indians.

Finally, none of these studies take into account that Asian-Americans earn bachelor and graduate degrees at a higher rate than any other racial group – which would help explain the overall income advantage. However, when you compare racial groups based on educational levels, white men still earn the most.

Based on the prevelance of horrendously stereotypical depictions of Asian women in mass media, I would hardly say that Asian women have lost their identity in the eyes of white people.

And what exactly do you know about the Asian female psyche? You presume so much about how we feel and what we like and don’t like. Unless you’ve actually lived as a woman, please don’t speak for us.

Personally, I could care less whether VS uses Asian or Black or White mannequins. My big beef with VS is their continual promotion of a standard of beauty that is unattainable by 95% of the women in the world. I think some nutritionist once said that if the VS mannequin was an actual woman, she’d be dangerously underweight, borderline anorexic and probably have severe health issues due to malnutrition.
