Why is it asian girls in the UK are like this?

Anyone else experienced this?

Sounds like me, and I am a white dude.

It's probably because they are living in a culture so different than their own. Moving to a whole different country is very difficult. Also many people from Asia tend to have misconceptions about culture like ours, so it's perfectly understandable if they aren't as sociable as everyone else.

Wow....

What is it that you expect from people in your town? Are you telling me people in your town are nosy, intrusive, and afraid of being alone?

These Asians in your town sound normal to me. Unless I know you or have some reason to talk to you... I'm not going to really pay attention to what you're doing. It's not that I don't care about people in my community it's simply out of politeness that I leave them alone and not gossip about them.

I think that anyone moving to anywhere... whether they're Asian or not is going to be a bit cautious and reserved. Unless they are super confident individuals... or British (they tend to just get drunk when in a different country )

I find the situation you described to be perfectly normal, though I would like to add, that I do agree, in most situations, Asian girls do seem extremely reserved. e.g. At my uni, I help out foreign exchange students with everything, be it helping them with Visa issues, to introducing them to new people. Something I've noticed is that many of these asian girls are either shy or reserved. I took a couple of chinese girls to a party a while ago. Music was great, atmosphere was wonderful, they liked the music, but they stayed in a TIGHT group together and faced eachother the whole night. When strangers spoke to them, they just turnt away and said nothing... With that said, I dragged one or two of them into the middle of the "dance floor", started dancing with them, and introduced them to a couple of people... at first, they were still shy, but after a couple of songs, they relaxed and started enjoying themselves...

Therefore, my conclusion is that these asian girls had a problem with Language, or that they don't really understand the culture. Later that night when I took them back to their residence, I asked them why they were shy. They simply said, it's tought to be themselves when they look like the only foreigners.

I'd also like to add that, if you're welcoming to them, they'll be welcoming to you too. I found that in France, french people make it extremely difficult to let people into their circle of friends. Even for someone like me that has no difficulty with language, I found it much harder than when I was in China for a couple of weeks, for example. Asians have noticed this too, and I believe they don't know how to react to it, and don't know what to take from it. They don't know if they're disliked or whether that's just french culture...

most asians have strict parents.

most asians are shy & softspoken. mannerisms.


i'm pretty sure if you go & talk to them, they'll talk to you. they just won't make the first step.

I've never had that issue yet I've noticed Asians stick with Asians.I mean they're not rude but they do tend to hang out more with their race. I have Asian friends and we hang out and have fun but when they see their Asian friend come over I tend to get pushed aside.
I have no idea why that is.
Mexicans do the same thing sometimes. I guess they just feel more comfortable with their own people.
I don't mind it and I don't think it's racism.
Even though this pack of Koreans one time in walmart kept making fun of me << yea that really pissed me off. I told my Korean friend and asked her what certain words meant and found out they were saying some pretty mean shit in Korean about me.. No idea why I didn't even know them. I'm pretty sure that was racism but not all Asians/Koreans are mean and racist theres just always a bad few in every pack. Oh well. I'll let dicks suck each others dicks.

This thread is particularly annoying.

I have no problem with people making shallow overall cultural generalisations citing certain cultural trends preferably backed up by evidence of some sort.

What is annoying is when people come to these conclusions via personal experience.

(Noodle I'm looking at you in particular)

Oh wow, how mature of you... What I find really annoying is people that keep complaing about annoying threads... Guess what, noone is forcing you to look at the thread or even reply to it

p.s. I'd really like to know how you come up with conclusions to things in life if you do not come up with them via your own experiences?... I guess you just read them out of a book or something right??

p.s.p.s... I also forgot to mention your hypocracy. lol...

I wonder what this quote is about??? might it be a conclusion or a "shallow overall cultural generalisations citing certain cultural trends"
