Ever get the impression that asian parents have no sense of what good looks are??
Like they think someone who looks hyper studious must be a real babe?

Yep. For example when some fob asian guys found out that my gf at that time was white...
Asian Guys: I saw ur gf!
Me: Yeah I know.
Asian Guys: She's hot.
Me: haha
Asian Guys: She's not asian right?
Me: She's white.
Asian Guys: THat's why she's hot!
Me: lol ok.

whites on average are better looking. asians look all fatigued and $hit all the time. FOBs love the white skin, that why ugly white dudes hit on fobs cause its the only chance they get.

well thank god my parents go agianst stereotype because they are more critical on physical features of whites and Asians. White people are all weasles to them and when it comes to Asians, they better be pretty and natural without squinty eyes or over the top plastic surgery face.

Common theory:
asian people who want to fit in, put higher value to having some white trophy gf/bf/etc
shows domination over the white race

A lot of SE asians I know are very critical...
In the movies, the main character always specifically falls in love with the most beautiful character.
And if the casting is not right, even newspapers will criticize the female lead for not being beautiful enough.
It's a harsh world. Hollywood is hard. But Chinese Hollywood will kill you!

same thing for me, my dad kept trying me to get with this nerdy looking roommate i had. on a scale of 1-10, he was like 4 if i'm being honest. and that's discounting his personality which really made him like a 2.
-.- my dad kept saying how moral and great he was because he looked like such a dweeb and cos he was a dual major
omg.. lol the guy was like a friggin alcoholic who watched porn 24/7

asian parents seem to rate attractiveness based on their degree and how they dont look threatning

C'mon, they're parents. That's what parents do.
How else can a parent enjoy parenthood if they can't buy weirdly mismatched clothes or recommend the creepy guy as good marriage material?
jk. My mom's clothes are ok in the western sense, but when it comes to traditional clothes, she really knows her stuff. I had to tone down the outfits myself....not like I needed 50 creepy guys trying to talk to me!

& your neighborhood is largely white

Right - and the average American who shops at Walmart looks fantabulous!
And I wonder why long hair from AFs is in such demand by the hair-extension industry.
