“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.

I remember seeing a similar one a long time ago. The age 30 picture was labeled “exotic”. The age 60 picture was labeled “bizarre”.
Check your shoe sole.
I’m too old to really care. But since you didn’t ask I will say that cultures have evolved and continue to spiral downward. I think it may have started with the invention of the phonograph, radio changed culture exponentially, cinema, television etcetera... and now smartphones. Maybe the big EMP event (naturally occurring or man made) might could offer a respite, but it would take a couple of generations to shake the filth from the feet of humankind.
“Be not unequally yoked.” goes back a LOOOooong way!
Per the figure, at least you get up to 35 good years with the Asian. With most White women its 10 years at best.
A racist woman, who writes for HuffPo, and spends her day surrounded by radical feminists. I agree: RUN!
Gotta breakdown by country?
HMMMmmm…
I'm trying to visualize that; but am having difficulties doing so,
OTOH...
White guys > Asian guys.
A lot of what I said was tongue-in-cheek. My wife has actually kept herself in good shape and takes good care of me. However, she is the exception. I don’t have to look far to see the average; just to some of my friends. One couple in particular makes me wince. He is still whipcord lean, but his wife has gone to seed. In fact, when we go out with them, she can barely fit in the chair in the restaurant. Her personality is not great either. He sticks with her though.
My son is dating a Chinese girl, which....I have encouraged. She is especially careful about her figure and what she eats.
She gets paid to write this stuff.
I think it’s all b.s.
Gender/political studies buzz words.
Make a few $. Move on.
She’s probably some 75 yr old dyke that worked in a mill her whole life.
This will not end well. How about marrying and procreating within your race? For me, it’s not a moral or ethical problem, but logical.
Beat me up; it’s happened before and I can take it.
This reads so fake. I suspect some writer made this up in order to sell it to Huff Post. They certainly do it over at The Guardian.
I know of a successful business man; with 2 failed marriages; who married his third wife 13 years ago.
She was born in Novo Mesto, and grew up in Sevnica, in the Yugoslav republic of Slovenia.
He is now 72 yo and she is 48.
I hear they are doing quite well in spite of MASSIVE criticism that is hurled their way daily.
Yea, my dimwit little world is Southern CA, probably a lot bigger than your world.
