AN ASIAN WOMAN HALF HIS AGE

One of the first things Jack said in the comments underneath narrow-minded and wrong was: "The old lawyer is now dating an Asian woman half his age. Had you stuck around, you could have gotten lessons." The two things that come to mind are 1) as a non Jew that really has no relevance to me. At all.
2) That's probably the all-time skeeviest comment anyone has ever left under a blog post here. Ew! What's in that diseased mind of yours?

NOT: "The old lawyer is now dating a Rhodes scholar". Or "The old lawyer is now dating a fellow gun nut". Or "The old lawyer is now dating a curvy biker chick". Nope. The only thing that she's got going for her is a) half his age, and b) ethnicity. At least in Jacks's eyes.


"The old lawyer is now dating an Asian woman half his age"


With shit like that going on in your head, Jack it really is a damned good thing neither you nor any others of the other East Bay crowd ever tried setting me up with someone. She would have no sense of humour, and would have had neurotic food phobias. Besides being whiny and needing an inhaler.
Your crowd. Except when you're skipping ethnicities.
In which case, young and "Asian".
Or a blonde.


There's got be something more to the girl the old lawyer is seeing. Is she a brilliant amateur cartographer? A well-known collector of model trains?
A lively pervert with a thing for fossilized old men?
A guitar player in a rock band?


That you mention only that she's Asian and half his age suggests 'no'.


Can I assume that she's not a Tamil or a Pakistani? Uyghur? A throat-singing Mongolian Herdswoman? Bandit-queen from Central India?

What the hell does "Asian" mean to you, Jack?
As a Jew, you are "Asian" too.

"An Asian woman half his age."

She's really very nice, and fairly intelligent. We would invite both of them to go places, but, you know, half the things we say are kinda baffling to her 'coz of the religion thing, and Jack keeps ogling her breasts.

She's "perfect".
