A New Name for Boalt Hall: WGWAG School of Law!

Dean Christopher Edley, listen up. The people have spoken, and here is their verdict. UC Berkeley’s Boalt Hall should be renamed… the White Guys With Asian Girls School of Law!

Don’t like this idea? That’s okay. At least we didn’t charge you $25,000 for it.

"After the death of attorney and judge John Henry Boalt, his widow, Elizabeth Josselyn Boalt, donated most of the money to build the Boalt Memorial Hall of Law in 1911."--SF Chronicle

Which was located further west and more centrally on campus, and is now (I believe) where the Chancellor has his office and is known as California Hall. That building is smaller--and much less ugly--than the current law school building, which is on the northeastern corner of campus (and which would appear to be circa 1960s).

For white dudes, dating Asian girls is the penultimate stop on the Big Pink Train to Gayville.

I'm just sayin - as both a gay and a graduate of Cal.

this is retarded. as a hot asian female, i can assure you all that i have never seen a beautiful asian woman with a white guy. white men have a delusional view of asian beauty..(ie- lucy liu). liu's features are NOT beautiful in the asian culture. asian men would NOT go for that, and only white men will. ignorance is a bliss. Hot asian girls go for Hot asian guys. period. and as for the penis myth- its a MYTH. white guys can be small too. deal with it.

3:50- LOL. OK, if you say so. But, according to FHM Asia, I am. And, as the only asian model to have appeared in Maxim US 3 times, i think American men agree too. To each's own, but dont hate just because I pointed out a Myth against Asian men.

3:33:

"and as for the penis myth- its a MYTH. white guys can be small too. deal with it" You understand, of course, that you have not dispelled the myth here; in fact, saying that white guys can be small, TOO, implies that you agree that Asian guys are small.

Lucy Liu is not hot, true, Zhang Ziyi is, though, and I'm sure most guys would hit that much sooner than Lucy.

NY fashion week is over, and i can not book jobs daily bc i have classes. besides, one shoot pays enough to last me 2 months. i dont need to work everyday. 3)WGWAG (the original)- i do not want to meet you, although u seem pretty funny..i dont think my boyfriend would be happy 3) i am NOT a guy. sigh. u guys lack creativity..

For further proof that WGWAG = white girls with asian guys:

white-girls-with-asian-guys = 2150 google hits

white-guys-with-asian-girls = 1660 google hits

This despite the real-world prevalence of the latter, as noted by the Bitter Asian Men website.

3:16, I beg to differ. I am white. My spouse is Asian. Together, we are WGWAG. I am a fervent procreator with no interest in guys. All WGWAG acquaintances are the same. Asian chicks are just hotter. But maybe the WGWAG-to-gay bridge is a West Coast thing?

3:33, my spouse is hot both to her fellow Asians (here and back in Asia) and to us Caucasians et al (unlike Lucy Liu). Also, monster wang porn only ever has black dudes, so I'm inclined to think there's a grain of truth to the penile stereotypes.

WGWAG, please find her on this page and get your date: http://www.maximonline.com/girls_of_maxim/allgirls.aspx. We WGWAGers must stick together.

This is hysterical. Not because WGWAG is inherently funny (although I think it is), but because the original poster resurrected an ancient (by internet standards) "discussion" that used to go on on the Craigslist "Missed Connections" board around 2000. This was back when Craiglist was Bay Area-only, and there were no "discussion forums" (and the idea of a blog, much less a blog comments section was unheard of). Missed Connections used to be the general outlet for discussing frivolous issues like this (it's obviously a bit different these days).

As I recall, it was an Asian dude, believe in the East Bay, who started it off by complaining "what's with all the asian girls with white guys?", and then it went from there. Glad to see that no idea ever dies on the internet.

As a Boalt alum, I can attest that the vast majority of Asian women students were with Asian men.

And yes, Asian men do date women of other races. Take Boalt's Professor Goodwin Liu, an all around academic all-star, who has a wife that happens to be white.

This post is borderline racist, I'd have expected it from auto admit, but not Above the Law. In a society where power and wealth is still heavily concentrated with white men, socio economic factors play a role in who we date and marry.

Uh, Hot Asian Female, the real issue is why are you insecure about relationships between Asian females and none-Asian men? And why are you stereotyping the white guy? While I am human first, I fall into the white male category due to my family's ethnic background. I dated a hot Asian girl - a really hot Asian girl - from Asia - because I liked her for who she is - and you know what? I asked her to marry me. We had a Chinese wedding, and I wore the traditional Chinese man's outfit (with hat) for our wedding photos. We keep a pretty traditional Chinese household where she is firmly in charge (Asian women are extremely strong - politeness in public has been mistaken for submissiveness). Cantonese is spoken in our household along with English. I got her a "confinement lady" for the month following the birth of our son. Dear son is now 4, learning wife's language and will be shipped offf to weekend Chinese school when he's old enough. When he's older, he will also be shipped off to the in-laws in Asia for the summer. So there, pissy Asian female. Good Lord, law students and lawyers are such cry-babies with axes to grind. Thank God I dropped out of law school and became an accountant.
