The BEST conversation I just had with my brother (edited):

hyu: will you be unhappy if i marry a white guy?
minsoo: I might be.
hyu: really?
minsoo: yeah
hyu: even if it's truelove?
minsoo: yeah.
minsoo: I don't know... you can't tell me there's NO good Asian guys out there.
minsoo: did you know asian american woman outmarry SIGNIFICANTLY more than AA men?
hyu: yes
minsoo: all I gotta say is, NIMF.
hyu: i wrote a paper on japanese american internment and its effect on later generations, and i proposed that one of its effects is the huge rate of outmarrying among japanese-american women
minsoo: here's also something weird though
minsoo: the whole fetish thing
minsoo: you know w. dudes who only date/marry a. woman
hyu3: yep
hyu: that's wack
hyu: but you know, if i fall in love with a white guy, and he's a good guy who's the right guy for me, you'll like him
hyu: and that's that
minsoo: no way dude.
minsoo: if he's a white dude, you're out of the family.
hyu: shut up
minsoo: you're not polluting our bloodline with the White Devils!!!
hyu: my kids will be cuter than yours
minsoo: They'll hold us down!
minsoo: hahaha
hyu: my hypothetical half asian babies
minsoo: you'll be forever known as the girl in our family who married "the white guy."
hyu: whatever
minsoo: mee-gook-saram
hyu: i have every intention of marrying who i want to marry
hyu3: but i think i want to marry a korean guy
hyu: but the men in my family have set such a good standard for korean men, however will any other korean guy measure up??
minsoo: hah
hyu3: it'll be tough minsoo
hyu7: actually minsoo, i've been thinking about my future husband a lot lately
hyu: i told mom to start praying for him
hyu: cause joy's mom is praying for her future guy, and i don't want to be left behind
hyu: hahah
minsoo: maybe you should go by a fountain, and ask God for your future husband to be the guy who offers a drink of water to your camels.
hyu: ummmm
minsoo: And then that guy will come along, and you'll know.
hyu: minsoo
hyu: out of all the advice you've ever given me in my entire life
hyu: i think that's the best
hyu: i should frame that quote
minsoo: Yes.
hyu: can i put this conversation on my blog?
minsoolove: sure.
hyu: awesome
hyu: i'm glad we're on the same page here about my future

Much of this converation is very tongue in cheek. And it made me laugh.
