I can't believe that this post about the experience of an Asian American woman is buried under multiple threads by white men (and one seriously sad Creepy White Dude apologist) making this comic about themselves, or negating the actual damage done by this kind of racism.*

*I can believe it.

To put things into perspective, many Asian men don't have the luxury of ignoring race when getting into a relationship because there are lots of prejudices against Asian men when it comes to romantic relationships. An Asian guy might be surrounded by mostly non-Asian women, but perhaps only 5-10% of them will even

It all come back to patriarchy and cultural imperialism.

Here's the thing darling, that you're not getting.

Christ on a cracker, another one? Moar victim blaming! Let's do this again:

I agree with most of your points, but I have no idea why you think this attitude is specific to "the trailer-park variety" of white people. From what I've observed, the mockery and pre-judgment of Asian female-white male couples come from not just white people, but people of all races who otherwise think of themselves

"Whining about white guys liking you the wrong way is easily the most 1st world racism complaint ever."

Am I the only one who clicked because I thought there was an actual yellow fever virus outbreak? Maybe I spend too much time on WebMd.

FLABBY. SIZE. 8.

I am an employment attorney... I cannot look at a single one of these without seeing REALLY REALLY easy cases. Why oh why do people not know they do not have to put up with this shit?

That really should be the take-home message of all this. Venting about shitty experiences is all well and good, and can even be a necessary part of healing, but there is no pride in enduring abuse just because you can. Worker's rights are human rights, and we should all work towards expanding and strengthening them so

This. The free sites are horrid, and the men even less literate than usual. The last time I was pinged on a free site was years ago. The guy wanted me to get on his motorcycle with him and go for a ride...as a first date...in the middle of the day on a workday.

I think we are just conditioned to think that because of the stereotypes in the media. I mean, how often are Asian women sexually objectified in movies and tv shows while the Asian man is portrayed as either a nerdy, awkward kid or the butt of a joke? Being Asian myself, I am hypersensitive to these stereotypical

I'm a white woman. My experience on the free dating sites is that most of the guys just want to fuck, not date. I shut down my OKCupid profile after receiving two messages on the same day from younger guys who basically said they'd be happy to come over and put their dicks in me, but not actually be seen with me in

Fuck OKcupid and go to Meetup.com. Find something you enjoy and then go hang out with other people who enjoy that thing. I've had lots of fun, created relationships and met way more people I'd deem dateable than the ones I met on OKC. The racism is totally rampant on online dating.

Asian woman here: If my OKC inbox was any indication, you are not picky. About 99.9% of the messages I received on OKC started with the sentence "I like anime..." or "I think Asian women are so hot" (I'd like to note that no where on my profile did I mention that I liked anime). It just seems like pickiness because

It's sad that minority women are more likely to be targeted due to our "exotic nature" than our personalities. White women have to deal with the same thing (their appearance being more important than what's on the inside), but they're rarely stereotyped the way other races are, and black women are negatively

Meanwhile, the Religious Right, pro-lifers, and other Americans determined to control the minds and bodies of women of all ages fight to make sure that young American women aren't taught the basics about sex, reproduction and contraception, are given ineffective "abstinence only" education, if any, aren't given access

Oh, where should I even start?

Hoo Boy...She was a horrible, wretched miserable person who undermined me to everyone as much as she could every chance she got. It was my first job out of college, I so badly wanted to do well, and she and I were the only 2 women in this financial organization (which was SUPER small), and when I went to work with her
