I don't see why it's important. Taking your example: non-asian Fangirls seem to live off asian food and products. They'd be your fetishists.

For people you've known long enough to trust I can understand, but if someone seems fannish enough to do that why let on? Especially if you speak from experience.

Sometimes people just ask because they're curious. I've been assumed to be Caucasian by lots of people, and hey, if they don't ask, I'm fine with that.

My LJ is public, and there are pictures of me on it. Am I the one in the wrong by doing this? Am I supposed to take them all down because fetishist/fanbrats might swarm me? I figure it's common courtesy NOT to squee at people just because of what race they are?

"I LOVE BLACK CHICKS. OH MY GOD, YOU'RE A BLACK CHICK. I LOVE YOU." I'm sure there are people like that out there -- does that mean all black people should never post pictures, either? Or that they have no right to complain if people do that to them?

So avoid answering. Common courtesy doesn't seem to be in use lately.

Posting pictures is your own choice, I'm not trying to say you should/should not do something or are wrong. If you put them up however it's become something you might have to expect. If you don't want to expect it, lock and filter journals with pictures.

Avoid answering how? "I'd rather not disclose that?" Then they're all "uhhh why? That's really weird."

Yeah, I mean, you get to expect it, sure. Still doesn't mean you can't get annoyed by it happening. ):

Ignore the question. Change the topic.

If it were that easy, I'd still be pretending to be Caucasian.

If you were that upset/annoyed by it you would be.

You're missing the point that sometimes, uh, you can't.

PS, all women who hate being objectified for being women should just pretend to be men amirite

YES.

If you're going to be juvenile then think whatever you like

I'm not trying to be juvenile. It's a valid comparison: being female and being Asian are both things you can't hide without massive uhhhh surgery or something.

According to your logic, if you don't want people to objectify you, you pretend not to be what you are. So, all women who hate being objectified should pretend to be men. No?

I don't even know how to pretend to be American, man. ._.
