Black Women + Asian Men = Blasian Hot Dating

I’m leaving New York for a tiny vacation tomorrow. More on that soon. In the meantime, before I spill those details, I soooo have to tell you news about the latest onscreen blasian couple. If you read Everyone Loves an Asian Boy, you know how much I adore cute blasian (Black Woman / Asian Man or Black Man / Asian Woman) couples on television and in real life. And by “TV” I mean streaming. I gave up cable. So, as I was saying, apparently, there’s a new one coming to a screen near you. ABC’s Flash Forward features that sexy drop of deliciousness, John Cho. His character, Demetri Noh, is engaged to “Zoey.” Soooooo, IMDB says Gabrielle Union has been cast in that role. (Also saw this on The Sauda Voice.) HOT BLASIAN LOVE!!! I’m, so excited to see a diverse cast on network TV, and I’m super interested to see if there’s any onscreen chemistry between John Cho and Gabrielle Union. They’re both incredibly sexy, attractive actors. Who doesn’t want to see them get it on?

Too fucking cute!! Why didn’t anyone tell me about this onscreen blasian coupling? In the clip below, I think ABC should change their advertising: [insert manly newscaster voice] Coming this fall … Flash Forward! The most intriguing show on ABC … AND we give you blasian love!! ;)

Dating Asian Guys / Hot, Sexy Asian Men

I think it was KingSteve — a man whose bio says he likes “long walks on the beach and vaginas” — who asked me if I signed up on JDate because I’ve given up on Asian men. Absolutely not! Men are a lot like icecream. I like vanilla. And chocolate. Rum butternut and kosher, too, as well as many many other flavors. I’m a rainbow fucking queen. ;) I don’t have to pick one; I can like them all. In fact, I’ll give you the update on my JDate experiences tomorrow. Today, I’m writing about Asian men in general and Daniel Henney in particular because I recently found out my baby will be on the CBS medical drama Three Rivers. I’ll have you know, I was all over Daniel Henney‘s dick (in my fantasies, at least) ages before most people in America even knew who the kid was. Remember? He was one of my Manly Monday picks nearly a year ago. Ah, sexy Asian men.

Awwww. What a cutie! A Desi acquaintance told me she’s already seen Daniel Henney‘s Korean stuff and he can’t act. “He doesn’t speak Korean,” she said. “So, they always have him play American parts.” I don’t know if it’s true that he can’t act because I haven’t seen his Asian cinema stuff. But, even if it is true, who cares??? I just want to look at his face. :) Film and television execs need to hire more Asian men as leading actors. Hell, even the UCLA Asia Institute lists Top Ten: Hot Asian Actors Hollywood Doesn’t Yet Realize It Needs. Yet, my friends. Yet. I see Asian actors. Coming to theaters near you. Soon. Trust me on this one. (I was right about Daniel Henney, no?) In the meantime, feast your eyes on these faves (a.k.a. men with whom I’d love to make BLAsians) from the UCLA Asia Institute list:

How to Date a White Guy

White GuyOh yes, my sweeties, today’s Manly Monday pick — weekly celebrations of everything manly — is/are: White Men. (You knew this was coming, right?) I got the idea to write about white guys in particular after receiving the following email from a Funky Brown Chick reader:

Hi Twanna,

Not sure if this constitutes [a request for] dating advice but here it goes…

I read your blog often and I notice that you date all races of men. I have only dated black men but I am interested in dating men of other races. Problem is, I do not know how to meet them, or at least I don’t know how to meet ones that are interested in dating black women. I feel like I see enough of them on the daily at work or happy hour but it seems as if they don’t even look at me as a dating prospect [...]

If it will help you to answer the question, I am a 28 year old [job redacted] living in Baltimore. I enjoy cultural events and people who are diverse in their lifestyles and ideas.

Hope that helps.

[name redacted]

Ah, we all know how I feel about dating advice / dating experts. That said, I’m gonna take a stab at this one because: (1) I think it will be fun and (2) I thought I’d share my wealth of knowledge since I’ve dated a lot of white dudes, Latinos, half the countries in Western Europe, a Moroccan guy, black Americans, and … whatever … the list is too long. Anyway. If you’re a brown-skinned woman who wants to date Dudes of Different Ethnicities (DDEs), here are a few TOTALLY “politically incorrect” tips.

SOCIALIZE. If you want to meet new men period (whether black, white, Vietnamese or any other ethnicity), you gotta go to the right venues. Generally speaking, sports venues attract a higher percentage of dudes … just like, say, nail salons attract more women. I have one word for you: SOFTBALL. If your job, church and/or city has a community league, join it. In Baltimore, I know there’s the Baltimore Sports & Social Club. If you don’t like softball, try golf, tennis, rugby, water polo or lacrosse tournaments to meet all different kinds of guys. STAY AWAY FROM HOOPS!!! Because we all know who plays basketball!!!! ;) Say you don’t like sports? No problem. Go to political networking stuff. Though there are exceptions, right-wing nutjobs aren’t necessarily known for loving brown-skinned women. Go left: Obama groups, Drinking Liberally, MoveON or book readings at independent bookstores. You’ll find scores of DDEs who are open to brown girls.

MOVE. You mentioned you live in Baltimore.You might have better luck in Seattle, Portland or San Francisco. Those cities are STUFFED with fair-skinned liberal folks who love brown-skinned people and will gladly tell you: “Some of my best friends are black.” ;)

LOOK ONLINE. There’s been a boom in interracial online dating sites. I mentioned this in an article I wrote for Mashable a while ago. Click here and see #3 for details.

LIGHTER OR WHITER, BUT NOT WASPY. Try to find your oppressed allies: The Scots. Puerto Ricans. Jews. Irish people. Italians. Generally speaking,  they’ll understand prejudice, racism and discrimination better. This will greatly cut down on your “I Don’t Have Time To Tell A ___ Dude Everything He Needs to Know About Black Women” lesson planning.

There ya go, my dear! :) Kisses and good luck. Now, for the rest of you, feel free to leave additional tips, comments and other thoughts in the comments section. Ooh, ooh, ooh … and be sure to tune in tomorrow for my “How to Date a Black Chick” post.

Introducing: Man Pageant Winner “Nick”

Today’s post is sexy & short because I’ve got other shit on my mind. Boy drama. Might share details later today. Or, tomorrow. Or, maybe, never. We’ll see how I feel about everything in a bit. Anyway, in the meantime, the new Manly Monday pick is a guy named Nick. If you read this post, you know I judged Jen Dziura’s First Annual Man Pageant over the weekend. Additional photos — including a couple of him sexily clad in underwear — are posted on my Flickr, Jen’s Flickr, Dacia’s Flickr and elsewhere online.


Um, yes, OF COURSE I noticed he’s cuddling a brown girl in one of his photos!!! Hot, right??!?! (Psssst, if you’re new on Funky Brown Chick today, read this, this, this and this.) Anyway. The best part of the man pageant? All the guys REALLY got into it. They serenaded us, tried to win our votes with flowers and beamed 100 watts brighter as we told them what we loved about their handsome faces, hard bodies and adorable talent competition segments for boxing, singing, poetry and comedy. I asked one of the guys, Michael, “So, is this your first time participating in a male beauty pageant?” He smiled, blushed and was like, “Um, yeah. I can pretty safely say this is the first time for all the guys here.” It was too cute! Job well done, boys.

Testicle Tuesday Pick: Jon Yongfook

Continuing with our regularly scheduled program … Typically, I do “Manly Mondays” at the top of the week. With a one-day delay, I guess it’s technically a Testicle Tuesday. I think it’s funny / odd / awesome / strange that the very first Manly Monday pick was almost exactly two years ago on November 27, 2006. The guy mentioned? The new James Bond in Casino Royale, Daniel Craig. I’ve been doing Manly Mondays so long that they’ve already written, filmed and released a second James Bond movie since then. Speaking of that, I sooooo can’t wait to see Quantum of Solace. If you’ve seen it, let me know what you thought. Okay, so, today’s Manly Monday pick is kind of sort of related to James Bond (broadly speaking) because, well, he’s British. Jon Yongfook makes cool stuff and he’s hot.

Fuck. Look at him. God, he’s gorgeous, isn’t he? In his own words, Yongfook hails from “Her Majesties United Kingdom of Great Britain Scones Tea Cricket Beer.” Beauty *and* a sense of humor?!?! Somebody dip this man in honey and bring him to me so I can lick him!! Although Yongfook now lives in Tokyo and I live in New York City, we both used to live in Kent. We’ve never met in person; I discovered him when I began launching my personal site, www.twannahines.com. It’s powered by his brainchild, Sweetcron. This guy is smart. Really smart with tech / internet stuff. <tangent>Brainy men reeeeeeally turn me on.</tangent> By the way, Yongfook is also the creator of Open Source Food — an online community where food lovers and avid cooks can browse, create and share recipes. Hmmm … Beauty, brains, a sense of humor AND he can cook??? We should make blasians! Baby Funky Yongfook. By the way, Fookshots appear courtesy of Yongfook. Wanna drool over more? Check out his Flickr.

[Funky Brown Chick turns on sultry, sexy voice.] Yongfook, sexy, if you’re reading this … um, when are you coming to New York? ;)

Manly, Hot, Asian-American Men


I’m reading today’s Asian Pop piece, Opening the box, by SF Gate columnist Jeff Yang. Great article, but I found part of it somewhat disturbing. It’s not the writer, it’s this chick Susan D he quoted. “I think people overthink and overanalyze the nature of romance.” Okay, okay I agree. “I just think Asian men are beautiful.” Sure, no prob; I’m right there with you sister. BUT, then Susan adds a warning to the folks who aren’t actively seeking to date Asian men. Basically, she’s like too bad, so sad for you because “That just means more men for me!” More for you, Susan? What a greedy little thing. I’m sure what she MEANT to say was, “That just means more men for me AND Funky Brown Chick.” Good thing Susan lives 46 states away from New York City or else faces would be slapped for leaving me out like that. ;)

Other interesting stuff from the article? “[S]tatistics show that ‘Asian man/black woman’ is the least common of all interracial combinations, representing less than 0.01 percent of all marriages in the United States — a total of just 6,000 couples across the entire country.” Change starts at home; I’m ready to be part of the solution.

I didn’t make the clip. The music? Hot. Some of the guys selected for the video? Not so hot. So, I was kinda inspired to create my own (more diverse) homage to Asian American men.

1. Sexy lips Naveen Andrews is the British Indian actor from Lost, 2. Retired NFL wide receiver Johnnie Morton shares African-American and Japanese heritage, 3. Supermodel Tyson Beckford is Chinese and Jamaican, 4. Keanu Reeves is the product of an English mother and American (Hawaiian) father of Chinese, Irish and Portuguese descent, 5. The American / South Korean actor, model, drop of deliciousness called Daniel Henney is too beautiful for words in this commercial with Gwyneth Paltrow ( … and he sings?!?!), 6. Filipino American actor Dante Basco shares my birthyear. Oh, if only we could share more intimate things … and, finally … Lucky #7. Takeshi Kaneshiro is Chinese and Japanese. He’s also sexy and beautiful. By the way, I TOTALLY forgot to include Dustin Nguyen in the image collage above. :( Remember him from 21 Jumpstreet? Keep an eye out; he’s been doing more film stuff lately.
