No other half Asian or part Asian actor is so accepted by Whites as being one of their own. There are so many half Asians who are envious of his status.
It's incredible how Whites just assume he is one of their own. They don't even question his citizenship status. They don't ever think or ask "Hey, when are you going back to Asia?" "Wow, your English is so great for an Asian".
They don't ever exoticise him by saying shlt like, "Do you like American food? Or do you like noodles and rice?"
Whites just assume he's white, one of them.
How envious Asian Americans are. They are constantly questioned if they are even American.
I dunno. Keanu looks more White than Katie Mixon, Brooke Burke, Dean Cain, Michelle Branch, and Chloe Bennett and all of them are pretty much accepted as being White Americans.
Where is your basis that Asian Americans are envious of Keanu Reeves?
I guess the struggle is based on how passable you are for White AND have a European surname at the same time. Eurasian women seem to be highly desired by American culture wouldn't you agree? I live in SoCal and every news station as a cute Asian-looking woman with a non-Asian surname. I kid you not. Almost every other car commercial on TV features a mixed couple, usually a White man and a cute Asian-looking wifey with kids.
The whole half Asian thing is very interesting. The problem is half Asians invariably look 80% Asian, yet, they are usually not culturally Asian at all. They monosyllabic, only speaking English. How can someone look so Asian, yet is essentially a banana? And it drives them nuts that White society doesn't see them as being white, but Asian. They look Asian, so they are treated as being Asian. This drives them nuts. Think Elliot Rogers.
Then there's the huge disparity betwen WMAF vs ANWF. It's like 10:1 - what does it do to one's self esteem knowing your father is a loser white guy with yellow fever, and your mother is a self hating Asian white worshipper? This couple is TOXIC. They hate Asian males and rise their kids hating their Asian heritage.
Eurasian women are highly desired, so what? Most Eurasian women go on to choose White partners. As an Asian male, I am not interested in Eurasian women, especially as they hate me because I remind them of their Asian heritage. I know the type. They usually have zero Asian friends, have nothing to do with Asian culture. Don't like Asian food or Asian cinema or Asian anything. They pass themselves off as being 100% white, and it kills them that they look half or mostly Asian.
Actually... a LOT of women love the Asian femme-boy types.
Have you considered wearing hip clothes and fashioning your hair like a K-pop idol? Also, have you practiced standing cool and smouldering?
I'm not even joking, dude. The amount of women with Asian-fever (for males) is quite staggering. A lot of it now has to do with the image you project.
If you're already in shape then this works in your favor. If not? Start losing weight. You don't even have to be buff, just be svelte. And most importantly... WORK ON BOOSTING YOUR CONFIDENCE!
Seriously, women can SMELL your confidence a mile away.
Oh come on... that would only work for TALL Asian men. Check all those K-Pop stars and how tall they are. Just be honest, most Asian men are small and short. Short Asian women are fine, but short men (regardless of heritage / race) are doomed. That's just how it is.
Well if you didn't live in Chinatown no one would think you were Asian. When you choose to live ghetto don't be surprised when people think you're a gang banger, when you live in Chinatown don't be surprised when people think your a chink.
It's almost as if people actually don't care about this nonsense and like him because he is a good actors who played several iconic roles and a sweet guy.
Can it be?
I'd hope that to be true myself; I'd rather not get bogged down in all that silly nuance. If anything, I just think of Keanu Reeves as being Canadian, since he was raised in Toronto (I think Canada is awesome, and it is a diverse country in so many ways). But foremost, I just think he's an excellent performer and seems like a cool person.
