You do realize that there are Japanese Americans, right?

Also “stripped of cultural context”

I love how “international” means “white lead”

Hmm . . . let me try this again.

preface: i'm asian. and a guy.

Yes, I have often seen Asian women who won't date Asian guys because they claim Asian guys are Patriarchal....then they proceed to date some of the most sexist, patriarchal and douche-baggy white dudes I have ever seen.

Yeah, and those Asian women continue to do it because nobody calls them out. And nobody calls them out because nobody knows how to call a woman sexist or a nonwhite person racist. And Asian men don't want to look like whiners and white men don't want to ruin their opportunity. And white women don't want to look…

whites have higher status. Yeah, rich Asian trumps poor white, but rich white trumps rich Asian, and poor white trumps poor Asian. My point about the high social status was mainly about Asian guys rarely being able to be the cool guy in high school, college, the office, the bar, etc. A man becomes a lot less…

All that would do is reinforce the perception in their minds that Asian men are patriarchal.

I wonder why that is...why are some groups more likely to buy into stereotypes or beauty ideals that leave people who look like them out.

Thank you for making point A. I have heard several Asian women say that they want to marry a white man because then their babies won't have "chinky eyes".

This article is pretty biased toward making Asian women come across better than many of us deserve. Here are some factors the author ignores or discusses too little:

YES. My roommate had an Asian female teacher who apparently made some half-joking, half-serious statement about Asian men having Asperger's. I was livid.

Yes precisely. It would be nice to see Asian women call out other Asian women when one of them says something blatantly racist about their fellow Asian men. Unfortunately, I rarely see this happening. Hopefully things are changing.....

YES. My (asian) sister is guilty of this shit and it pisses me off to no end.

shazam!

I want to heart you again and again!

Why?

"However, my trend of dating Western men had a lot more to do with the culture around my personal interests. Growing up in Taiwan, most of my Asian peers were much more engrossed in their studies and into mainstream culture than going to punk concerts, watching experimental film, and dressing up like Marie…

Summary: Every white person dating outside their race is fetishistic. Every non-white person dating a white person is a self-loathing social climber.
