Boob Racism – A Journey of Hope
I am concerned that boob racism has become a problem here on xanga. I read the post by DearRicky that sparked a race debate. Then I read a response blog by another individual about how he was leaving xanga because of all the racism.
Boob racism can be so subtle that no one notices it. Boob racism is defined as “the act of posting boobs of hot women on a blogging site without posting boobs of women of all races.” Here is the link: Link
I want to share a little from my own heart so others can learn from my mistake.
I used to be a boob racist.
How did it happen? It is one of those areas in your life that you just slip through. You go your whole life with one way of thinking. I think it is probably my parent’s fault. Looking back at it, I think I had also surrounded myself with other boob racist.
I started posting boobs of attractive women on my site. But one day my whole World came crashing in when one woman pointed out to me that during my first Save the Boobs campaign I was mainly posting boobs of white women and I didn’t have enough minorities represented.
I sat there staring at the boobs and tears almost came to my eyes. She was right. I was a boob racist. I couldn’t believe I had gone through my blogging years without noticing. I had to admit that when I was asking women for boobs, I was mainly asking white women. I had only a few Asian, African American and Hispanics.
It was easy for me to rationalize the issue. I thought I just didn’t want Asian boobs because Asians were flat. But as I looked deep inside, I knew something greater was in play. I was a boob racist.
After a period of deep contemplation, I realized I must change. I had to be something different. So I approached an Asian friend on xanga and asked her, “Can you take off your clothes and take a topless photo for me?” She of course said, “yes.” I treasure her understanding and her help in my healing.
Now, I try to take it “one set of boobs at a time.” But I look back some days and I am so proud of how far I have come.
(The top three are google photos. The bottom photo is Bekka).
I am pledging to you today to give boobs of all races equal time on my blog.
If I can change, anyone can. I hope my story helps to inspire others.

Wow Dan… wow
@_@
One day, there will be a land where boobs of all colors can come together and live in harmony.
…I think.
the asian girl’s boobs look like hamburgers.
sorry. just had to point that out.
Great job, you can be so proud of yourself!
Realizing that you have a problem is always the way to solve it.
Maybe you should found a therapy group to help other boob racists to find a way out?
Its been done, and its not helping the issue.
Thanks asshole.
boobist
@noree_n - That’s racist!
@noree_n - LMFAO.
“I thought I just didn’t
want Asian boobs because Asians were flat. But as I looked deep
inside, I knew something greater was in play. I was a boob racist”
Proof of that . . . well you did ask me and lets just face it, I’m not actually a heavyweight on the boob scale.
I am happy to see you’re working on this very serious personal flaw.
wowow at the asian girl.
xD
@SirNickDon - oopsies my bad !
I think you post pretty boobs
and not any…..UGLY BOOBS!
I think you’re being a bit of a sizeist
You need more representation from those of us with the Bs and smaller
Dan, I am proud of you for being man enough to admit this. You are taking steps in the right direction. I am going to rec this not because you need it but because you courage to be a better person moves me.
fuck yeah more boobs
Boobs are boring.
That first one, if she had those colored beads or whatever around the top of her boobs, you’d have a heart of boobies.:D
Dan, you are the man. Also, boobs for the WIN.
Oh Dan lol
I really think you should be asking more female Xangans to take such fabulous photos of themselves so you can post more boobs pictures!!
Just to make sure we get a well rounded view…
Thank you Dad. Thank you, you magnanimous man.
lmfaooo. Great post.
We’re here for to help in this time of need. It’s ok, you’re on the path to recovery. And ya know, if you need a sponsor during these hard times, to help you get through, to help sort through boob after boob, well…you know where to find me.
Please, everyone, I’m not a hero, I’m just doing what I can.
boob racism… roflmao.
I would think,for the record….that the real problem would not be so much racism as age discrimination.
How many old women (besides me) did you ask?
hahahahahahahahahahahahhaah
How many women had to read this post before they realized it was sarcasm?
This one is definitely worth a rec. Lol
Nice!
Oh lawd.
ha ha I’m all for it, as long as they don’t make tits of themselves.
Nice.
Just like people, boobs come in all sizes, shapes and colors… and they are all beautiful.
@trunthepaige - i love you, you are too adorable!
<—- Equal Opportunity Boobie Lover!
<—- Now accepting applications!
@Kontzicles - Well-rounded view… I like it! Haha.
it probably was your parents’ fault…but, you have to remember, they’re from a different boob generation.
hmm ok….
lmfao. everyone complains about everything.
xo
Boobs! Lol
Oh Dan.. hahaha! XP You’re a changed man! WHOOHOO =D
funny post
I’m feeling a little bit discriminated against. What about my boobs huh? Are my boobs not good enough? Are you a sexist too!?
@Lordv16 - BOOM! goes the dynamite…
isn’t upposed to be boobs of all sizes?
You are so funny sometimes.
lol the girl in the first pic! her boobs are soo…. :P
I guess I’ve seen everything, now.
Racism eh? Golly gee do I have a ton of Black Jokes to tell.
Funny. Creepy and perverted, but funny nonetheless.
Who is Bekka?
@seedsower - Exactly. Not only age, as well as all different sizes and shapes: note all the above examples are at least D cup and above? ^_~
You do realise that you’ve asserted that bob racism is learned behaviour, and thus correctable by therapy. What of those whose therapy fails, because it may be an inborn condition? How will you deal with their guilt at their continued tititis?
I don’t think you’re a boob racist. Honest. I think you have your own personal tastes. Some guys like very very large women, and there’s a magazine that caters to that. True, no magazine caters to flat(ish) but just because I like mushrooms and collect exotic recipes starring mushrooms doesn’t mean I’m a food racist. I don’t mind if other people don’t like mushrooms at all.
After reading your article I was mildly amused but I did sorta think you were a boob. Does that make me a man-chest racist?
WHERE ARE MAH MOOB PICS
You are so bad!!!!!!!
i don’t think it’s an issue concerning racism. the frequency of photos of hot women of diff races being posted on xanga is affected by a lot of factors.
have we ever considered the availability of photos of boobs of different races ? i’m an asian woman living in HK. asian women whom i encounter every day ( most of them are actually living or at least was brought up in their home countries ) tend to be more conservative and are not willing to show their boots with strangers. this is likely to result in fewer asian boots ‘available’.
also, as mentioned above, asian boots are smaller or flatter in general, the instant visual impact of caucasian boots is much stronger than their asian counterparts. it’s natural for more caucasian boots being post on xanga.
i admit racism may have some influence on how often boots of different races are circulated on xanga, but it’s not a determining factor. pls don’t condemn others ( or urself ) for not giving enough support to asian boots.
@seedsower - You’re not old. You’re my age.
@Kontzicles - I second this!
@the_freshman_fifteen - At your service.
I didn’t think it was about the “color of the boob” but about shape, size, and crap how do I say this delicately “nibble” quality haha
@the_freshman_fifteen - Bekka is a hot Norwegian
So I guess your campaign is “Boobs of any color are beautiful”?
ha ha – I hope your wife, SO or fwb doesn’t look at your history. “Asian Boobs.” Good luck explaining that one, lol.
I’m glad that you are working toward boob equality, Dan. You are to be commended.
@noree_n - hahaha
Bekka is a thousand times HAWT.
No fake boobs allowed!
i really think you have issues dan
You inspired me!
BOOBS!!!!
I’m so proud of your progress, Dan.
*hugs*
You’re back on your mammary fixation again, Dan!
