Where are you from? / D-addicts' demographics

Last edited by xiaryx on Wed Feb 11, 2004 10:25 pm; edited 1 time in total

Time for another poll!! I hope the response rate will be greater this time.

Anyway, I am interested in knowing the ul/dl cycle throughout the day, which I am pretty sure is a function of the time zones of the regions where the d-addicters live. Please choose from the options. I know alot of you guys leave that out in the profile because of the issue of privacy. Just in case you are wondering, this is anonymous.

@snanda, do you have an asian heritage? The reason I am asking is I am very skeptical, that an indigenous European would be interested in asian cinema. I know at least in the States, Asia drama is only limited to asian american, and it is unthink of that a cowboy from Texas would like j/kdrama..(no offense to Texans haha)...

I just have to say that I'm American and have no Asian heritage. I'm a mix of French, German, and Irish; mostly German though. But, I study Japanese while majoring in Comp Science. There are a lot of people like me in my japanese classes(in my 4th right now) and the waiting list for the class is very long. I got into the class during my Freshman year(1st sem too), though. Which is very rare.

I bet there are plenty of Texans watching these too, but I doubt people without an internet connection have been exposed to these dramas though(this implies they can't be found in stores in the area, which is my case).

I can agree that I'm a minority though(wouldn't know for a fact though) because I've found out that Americans usually don't like to read subtitles or listen to strange foreign languages(except french). Also my roommates have always asked why I watch these and complained?, but sometimes I catch them watching my dramas.

I guess my NYC (hometown) mentality just took over me for a while.

Ah I hope you didn't misundertand what I was trying to say... I just feel like Asians like asian drama because they can relate better.

However, I do feel disturbed that typical Americans do not enjoy, or may even make fun of or resent foreign cinema. I always feel like America is at a stage a lot similar to that of 1800's China/Japan, and this xenophobic attitude will surely hurt the country in the future.

Just my two cents...
