I remember this conversation from a while back. Was at a pub: crowd was predominantly white. There I was with a friend at the bar and my friend chatted up this blonde girl. Out of the noise, I suddenly heard my friend said, “My friend here likes blondes.” Huh?!

I turned to face the girl and she had this bemused and inquisitive look on her face.

“What is it with you Asian guys and blonde hair?”

A few questions popped into my head and I had wanted to ask her, “Have you been hit on by a lot of Asian guys lately?” I didn’t. What I ended up saying was:

“Because it’s not black.”

She had a laugh, we had a few drinks and a good night was had.


You have a better theory? ;)
