I admit to getting into whole wedding color thing. It was probably the only thing I regret not following that's somewhat traditional. That being said, everyone completely ignored it and set up the way they thought it should be (read: white tulle and ungodly red things baaaaah humbug stupid us for having a crazy open…

I personally don't get the small guy hate. It doesn't really phase me, but at the same time I've always loved to push gender-related expectations. Ideally my partner would be around my same height (5'5) because I personally find that extremely hot (eye-height is awesome). But I fell in love with an awesome guy who…

I have two close friends who are above six feet, and both of them have struggled in the dating world around it. One of them refuses to date men shorter than her because she has had several shorter partners who have constantly berated her for her height. The other one is 6'3 with heels and is practically invisible to…

I feel like that's my experience as well. It's always my really short or tall friends that are vocal about this. Personally if I had to choose, I'd like someone around my height (5'5 so 5'2-5'8), but I'm not picky and would happily date (and well married) someone outside of that. I feel bad because I sometimes feel…

Holy red flag alert Batman. I find people who don't believe in cross-gender friendships equal part annoying and terrifying. This isn't about her at all, it's about his insecurities, and his apparent inability to have a non-related woman on Facebook without fucking her. Maybe I just can't understand the idea of…

I feel creepy and gross shopping at Victoria's Secret/La Senza and I'm a woman. I don't know how to describe it, but it's somewhere between a strip club and Hello Kitty. It makes me feel embarrassed and ashamed for reasons I can't even deconstruct, and I'm the last person in the universe who usually feels that way.…

He has serious issues. I'm trying to dig up the news article he sent my husband a couple weeks ago, but I can't seem to find it. Basically the gist of it was how horrible Italian-Chinese were at everything and citing a local hairdresser who held a non-paying customer hostage. It included a lovely extremely racist…

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HARASSMENT. Is that clear enough for you? Its about an Asian woman's experience with being fetished. FETISHING SOMEONE AGAINST THEIR WILL AND THE ACTIONS THAT STEM FROM IT IS HARASSMENT.

Thank you for the comic, it's exactly how I feel about the whole thing. Also thank you for your posts, I was just reading the ones you wrote on another thread and they're incredible insightful, patient, and spot on.

"I remember reading one comment on a Racialicious article about this issue where an Asian man - whose input would have otherwise been very welcome - demanded that Asian women “sit down and shut up” because we’ve been hogging all the attention. The entitlement and misogyny were staggering."

Frankly how many Asian men and women have to tell you what you're saying is racist, sexist, asinine, offensive, and ignorant before you will believe us? I can't believe I'm actually going to try this again.

For sure! I haven't done it in years, but my local art school used to offer courses. It probably differs from place to place, but I'd look at art schools/studios for courses. The one I used had serious degree-based courses over the fall/winter, and hobbyist/newbie ones in the summer. The main problems I ran into was…

Privilege:

I'm not the biggest fan of babies...so maybe I'm not the best judge, but the whole thing seems very uncanny valleyish to me :|

Fucking yes! Thank you for this.

Seriously. I just had a guy tell me that Asians are more privileged than white people. I'm not allowed to complain about the racism I've experienced apparently. What the fuck is in the water today?

Oh well, if you say that Asians aren't less privileged then you must be right. Let me ignore my entire personal experience because some probably non-Asian dude told me so. I guess all my experiences with racism are all in my head, and I should just be grateful white people decide we're a model minority.

I wish I could star you a thousand times.

The unhealthy, racialized infatuation between white men and asian women is mutual but only white men get criticized for their role in it.
