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.

He’s marrying a non-white woman, and she’s still sure he’s really a racist ... and grilling him about it. And publicly saying how bad she feels about being with him and berating him for it.

“I used to have American Femipig types say I wanted to marry an Asian woman because I wanted a demur, controllable and submissive woman...I didn’t know whether to bust out laughing or cursing at that claim.”

Were you the one here who said: “If you think Asian women are submissive, you’ve never been married to one”

I still repeat that line almost weekly!

“Sometime take a good hard look at most White women over 35. It ain’t pretty.”

While most of them are waiting to take in their next stray cat, Asian women that age you have youngsters running around, a very happy husband, and a long married life ahead of them, with grandchildren down the road.

It may be stupid and racist in your dimwit little world, but it’s reality. You’re one of the lucky ones.

“Now that she divorced him, he is a much happier person that he’s ever been and even the pastor at church today publicly remarked that he is looking very well and happier than ever!”

I knew a Nigerian guy who made the mistake of marrying an American (black) women. Nightmare, every time I saw him. Then I didn’t see him for 15 years...and then I run into him recently and ask him if he’s still married. He said he dumped her, went back to the old country to get a real wife, and is happy as anyone could ever wish for now!

Fair point - but obviously I wasn’t considering her as an Asian when I wrote my post.

In have a feeling that if it weren’t this, it would be/will be something else with her. Some people have a knack for sabotaging their own lives, and there is plenty in modern “thought” to help them.

I have always found Asian women attractive. One of my early schoolboy crushes was on a girl from Thailand. Her mother married a guy in the Air Force and came to America. I have never dated an Asian woman, though, and considering my age and the fact that I am married, I guess it’s not going to happen. The “fetish” was just not strong enough in me.

Take a look at most white men over 35———same thing applies.

Her real worry should be that he is gay.

I’d like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover

She said it’s really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won’t be lost or misconstrued
But I’ll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover

Fifty ways to leave your lover
Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy

Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee

How ignorant can you and carriage_hill be? And to publicly display it, too.

Unbelievable.
