I’m An Asian Woman Engaged To A White Man And, Honestly, I’m Struggling With That
Huffington Post ^ | February 2, 2019 | Tria Chang

Posted on 02/10/2019 6:56:27 PM PST by EdnaMode

“Oh, God, another Asian girl/white boy couple,” I groan, dropping my fiancé’s hand.

He hates it when I do this. So do I, really. I know it’s unkind and self-loathing, but every time I see another couple of our racial makeup, a little part of me sinks. We live in San Francisco, so this dip is as common as the hills. In these moments, I wish we were anything else ― that he were my gay best friend or we were startup co-founders, that he were Asian and I were white, that we were exquisitely ambiguous races, or that I could sink like my feelings into the sidewalk, be a little worm, and date whomever I want without considering social perception.

Shame is neither the wisest nor most mature part of oneself, but it still has a voice. “Stop it you guys!” my shame wants to say to these other couples. “Can’t you see the more of us there are, the worse it looks?”

“It” meaning the prevalent trend of Asian women seeming to end up with white men. “It” meaning the perpetuation of Asian fetish.

The first time I heard the term ”Asian fetish,” I was the only Chinese kid in a tiny school. Other students in my class had been pairing up to date since fifth grade, exchanging love notes and making each other Alanis Morissette mixtapes. I waited for my ”Jagged Little Pill” cassette, but nothing came in fifth grade. Or sixth. Or seventh. Or eighth.

If God didn’t want missed races he wouldn’t have invented world wars and airplanes.

I’m remembering that 70% of Asians voted for Obama, twice.

Yeah, at least walk away. If she is obsessed with race then leave her be.

I dunno about all that. Living in Hawaii, both local hawaiian and Asian mix couples seem even both ways. Of course, they both have their attractiveness in ways.

The scarcity of white men and black women is (for me) easier to understand. Black women, unless there was a honky in the woodpile, are just not very attractive.

My very own opinion, your mileage may vary, but the statistics seem to bear it out.

Da sistahs be not much in demand, and they really hate white girls that "steal" their men.

Been slammed for my viewpoint here before, but I do not GAS, Prove me wrong.

Given the tone of the article, you could have just stopped your comment after four words.

Her family would not allow it.

Best friend married a Japanese girl 30+ years ago and her family still in japan had a hysterectomy.

Funny, as her younger sister here was a bit more wild, and the family did not care much about her choices. I was married at the time, alas.

I always get a kick out of the "Age 120" part.

Well, McCain did refer to Asians as "Gooks".

Trust me. Chinese women are crazier, more pig headed, and have a very strange idea of common sense.

I have seen of what you speak but there are a number of other aspects that are quite common... 1. Controlling beyond all level of repair, 2. A sense of superiority... a characteristic that I think goes back to the Han dynasty that carries on to this day and 3. An aura of hidden (deeply suppressed) fear. At the same time that they try to control a situation all the while berating everyone working hard and doing their level best, they are in fear of being found out that they are frauds because they know quite well that they'd do worse.

All women can be batsh$t crazy with the right provocation. But as someone once said “when he’s a d**k, I’m a d**k right back even if I have to buy one.”

The boyfriend does need to run and hide.

The couple remind me of Drew Scott (HGTV's (Property Brother" and Linda Phan. They were married in May of 2018. In August, they announced they were ready to have 3 ot 4 kids. Linda is sn architectural designer and became creative director for the Scott brothers’ company, Scott Brothers Global.

What Asians don’t like whites?

Might complain that they wear their shoes in the house and that whites buy everything on credit but not much else.

She can. Nothing stops her. It’s her own brain.

Her problem is insecurity, caring what others think. A personality disorder.

I wonder how she would have felt if he had written the exact same thing about her and their relationship.
