As regular readers of my blogs know, I’m all about trying to help my Asian American brothas score with the ladies of the Caucasian persuasion (see here and here for past examples). Perhaps there’s a hot white chick who has already caught your eye and you’re thinking of inviting her over to your bachelor pad for a romantic evening including a DVD you can watch together to get her in the right mood. My fellow Offender Roger has previously blogged about some films that might be appropriate for this occasion, but following is my list of the five movies you must never watch with your white chick if you want to score with her.
MULAN (1998)
Disney’s animated version of the Chinese folk tale about a maiden who becomes one of China’s greatest warrior-heroes is an acclaimed film featuring positive Asian characters that’s sure to tug at your white woman’s heart strings. So then why should you avoid it? Because the plot is about a Chinese woman who successfully pretends to be a man so she can fight in battle. Asian men are emasculated enough as it is in our culture, you don’t want to give your white chick any more fuel to add to that fire. When she’s wondering what’s inside your pants, you don’t want her first thought to be…a vagina.
OLD BOY (2003)
Korean director Park Chan-Wook’s masterpiece of vengeance stars Min-Sik Choi as a man determined to exact revenge on whoever was responsible for his 15 year imprisonment. Choi is a bad ass and definitely makes Asian guys look cool so what’s the problem here? SPOILER ALERT: The woman that Choi hooks up with turns out to be…his daughter. Probably the only thing that will disturb your white woman more than the “is my man really a girl” question (see above) is “is my man into fucking his own daughter/mother/sister/other assorted relatives?”
BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S (1961)
Do I even need to explain this choice? Just look at the photo of Mickey Rooney in “yellow face” above. Which is a shame because this is the perfect romantic movie—featuring the elegant Audrey Hepburn, “Moon River,” New York never looking lovelier—that’s guaranteed to get you laid. Well, unless you’re an Asian guy—in which case, this film is the equivalent of taking a hammer and repeatedly pounding on your erection with it until your penis is as numb as you’ll be watching scenes like this:

BETTER LUCK TOMORROW (2002) & FINISHING THE GAME (2007)
Yes, I know both these films were directed by my fellow Offender Justin and features many of our YOMYOMF family members both in front of and behind the camera, but believe me when I say you want to keep your white woman as far away from them as possible. First, Better Luck Tomorrow is about a bunch of seemingly normal, high-achieving Asian American guys who are secretly into some seriously bad shit like theft and even murder. You don’t want your white woman thinking you’re going to pull a “John Cho” on her. As for Finishing The Game, all I can say is take a look at this:
There’s no way you’re going to be able to compete with a shirtless and oiled Roger Fan. Any white chick sees that and the bar for what the rest of us mere mortal Asian American guys has to measure up to has been raised to an insurmountable height. Don’t even risk it!






Wouldn’t she be more concerned that you’d pull a “Perry Shen” than a “John Cho”? John’s the bad boy who almost turned into a pretty good guy before, ya know, he was K.O.-ed
Also, “Fight Club.”
1) There are a lot of Roger Fans walking around – I see them all the time in San Francisco, and I encourage all young Asian men to develop your bodies to go with your minds.
2) Don’t watch ‘The Hangover’ with her, either. Just as bad as ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s', but in this case, it’s a REAL Asian guy playing a effin’ stereotype. Disgraceful.
Who needs Mickey Rooney when you have Ken Jeong?
phil, your blog made me feel like the Optimus Prime of mankind. thank you. : )
why don’t you title this blog, “a blog you don’t want your white girlfriend to read.”
@Philip I can’t think of even one movie where the Asian guy even KISSES the white girl, let alone gets her in the sack. Can anybody think of one? In fact it’s rare that they even get the Asian girl – she’s usually with any guy BUT the Asian. “Suitable as bad guys”, “Safe to sell soap”, and of course “Action hero”, while steps in the right direction, are a loooong way from “Romantic interest”. As an Asian with a white wife that fucking sucks! Get on it Offenders! @Derek – Yes, there is some cringeworthy stuff in that performance, IF you don’t take into account that Ken’s a comedian first. Their mentality is to do whatever it takes to get a laugh, ESPECIALLY the easy laugh. It’s like getting mad at a shark for eating a surfer. @Roger – you ARE Optimus Prime.
Hammy, though rare, there are actually Hollywood films that do have the Asian male leads macking with the white female lead. Some examples: THE CRIMSON KIMONO, BRIDGE TO THE SUN, DRAGON: THE BRUCE LEE STORY and the last HAROLD AND KUMAR.
He has large nipples.
That’s just the oil reflection blinding you. I’d say they’re very reasonably sized.
I heard Jackie Chan macks on a white girl in his last family movie The Spy Next Door. But who really went to watch that?
As an Asian American “brotha” who has scored with lots “ladies” of the “Caucasian persuasian”, currently breaking taboos in an “interracial marriage” and perhaps the first Asian American teenager to score with a caucasian girl “on film” (A Great Wall), I have cleverly and inscrutably used reverse psychology and have actually gotten “lucky” with all these films. I say, go ahead and take a white woman to a film that challenges your identity and image. Then talk about it over Bobba afterwards. Be slightly pissed off but articulate. “I can’t believe the underlying racism in that movie and if you can’t see that well…” She’ll get a huge dose of white guilt. And your testosterone levels will be very high because, well, once again the white man as offended you, your family and your Shaolin Temple. Now there you have a recipe for really hot sex. White guilt and Asian male rage. And if you don’t get lucky…well…you got Bobba.
Ok…except for Finishing The Game. Nobody can lucky with any kind of girl after seeing that film. The awesome Rogerocity is too freaking huge to compete with. Especially with the oil.
Takeshi Kaneshiro in “Too Tired to Die” kisses a German woman, an Asian woman and I think Mira Sorvino as well. But this is another movie to stay away from a) because it was just a bad movie and b) Takeshi Kaneshiro is an Asian Adonis that no one can compare to.
@ Kelvin Han Lee–you’re funny…kudos to you.
@Philip–good blog.
@Hammy Fatass–I’m a white woman married to an Asian man, and also an aspiring screenwriter. Some of us are working on writing/directing projects with better portrayals of Asian men.
Hey, for fun, name 5 movies Asians Guys SHOULD take Asian Chicks out to see…
@Ricecakerabbit, I’ll consider doing a future blog on that subject if no one chimes in with their suggestions.
@Kelvin, you and Roger are in a different league than the rest of us AA males so not sure if your advice will work for us mere mortals.
Derek, I know it feels counterintuitive, but in a way, it is a step forward to have an actual Asian guy playing the stereotype. Of course, it was still racist and all that, but it hopefully puts yellowface, a far more despicable practice, behind us.
I think The Crimson Kimono is the ultimate Asian male movie…a guy who is tough and sensitive, American and Japanese, and gets the white girl in the end over the white male lead. Go Sam Fuller!
Phillip, I remember the girl that John Cho kissed in Harold and Kumar was a Latina, not a White woman.
Hey Kelvin! I see you’re teaching your kama sutra to the folks in here
Hey Elena! It’s “Mai-Mai” from FB, =)
@Mai, you’re absolutely right but I was referring to Kal Penn’s character and his girlfriend who was white which is why I specified the last HAROLD AND KUMAR film. Kumar’s a brotha too
ooh, I love Takeshi Kaneshiro.
How about taking in some old school Chow Yun-Fat? Hard Boiled? He’s totally hot in that.
White chicks… Asian dudes. In large numbers? Yea well good luck with that …. LOL

Yeah, you’re right Philip
What about this version of Mulan? Haven’t seen it yet but am wondering if it’s any good…

I’ll tell you which asian man got it on (yes straight up P in the V) with a girl, a WHITE girl. Playa playa be Tony Leung Ka Fai in L’amant aka The Lovers. But what does that teach people?– if you’re an asian man and you want some white girl action, you better carry lots and lots of greeeen $$$$$$$$$.
