Disparity in Asian/White Interracial Dating (Tanaka Tomoyuki): Cites some interesting anthropological and sociological arguments in the FAQ. I don't agree with everything he says, but it's interesting reading nonetheless. Kinda weird how after making all these arguments, it segues into 'suggestions on dating for shy Asian males', and 'what we should be doing'. (Disclaimer: I know nothing about Tanaka's expertise nor his credibility, only what is posted on his web page.)

Vincent Chin (Tanaka): For those who don't know, Chin was a Chinese-American beaten and killed by two white autoworkers in Detroit, neither of whom served a day in jail. Check it out for more details.
