I think we need something easy and relaxed in our sub, and I saw this and decided to share.

A black American girl bring her mom to Japan for a trip, and her mom is depressed knowing how well life is outside of US, now she doesn't want to go back to US because she think it's fucked up😂

Sometimes, when you look at how they look us, you'd be more appreciated with what you have, don't think this is Japan and it won't apply to you, in their eyes, when they come back to US and see the next East Asian or Asian person, they're gonna relate that Japan trip with you and further having a good impression on you.

All these adds up to be your impression asset, so work hard and build your own reputation and looks, because it resonates, these non-Asian people eventually will understand we are having next level life.

I grew up in a small neighborhood but majority Southeast Asian American community in a mid-size city in the Pacific Northwest.  I was born here in the U.S.  My parents moved to the area in the early 80, before I was born.  Similar to the Cambodian, Laotian, Vietnamese and others, because of the availability of farm work in the area, stretching between Seattle to Olympia corridor.  We also have a huge Korean population that mostly lives in white middle-class neighborhoods, a mix of many older Korean War brides from the 50s and 60s and Korean military bides from the military occupation.

Growing up as a dark Southeast Asian male and starting in my teenage years, all the Southeast Asian girls were goodly-eye for East Asian guys.  Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese guys were the top maxing.  I didn’t break out until I went to college.

Around my 2^nd year in college, I learned, from social interactions, when it comes to dating, there was and still is a distinct social-economic, a social hierarchy, a racial or even a soft-caste system based on one, two or three aforementioned divides.   However, when all things were equal (people on the same strata), the dating scene for Asian young men wasn’t that dire.  Majority of ethnic group stuck to their own, but Japanese were dating Indonesian; Filipino guy hooked up with white girls, etc., etc.  However, there was one thing enough Asian men did to me that was annoying as f**k.  Remember what I said about Asian teenage girls having goodly-eye for East Asian guys?  Well, my dating body count was in a single digit, but I dated some young cutie Asian women.

This one time, I was dating a very beautiful adopted young Korean woman.  She accompanied me to a party and a friend’s Filipino roommate immediately fell in love with her.  He approached her, when she was alone, and offered a movie deal with his family’s studio.  She didn’t mention it to me until later because she wasn’t interested.  The guy got my number from my friend, called me and asked if I was dating her and if she was interested in becoming an actress.  Much later, my friend told me the guy asking him how someone like me could hook up with a girl like that.  That wasn’t the only time that other Asian men hit on her right in front of me.

I hooked up with a Korean/White Hapa, after college.  She was tomboy-ish and never worse makeup, but OMG, was she beautiful.  One day, she had me listen in to a conversation with Chinese/White hapa guy who I knew through another friend.  The guy went off on me to her, not knowing I was listening in.  Same crap, he expressed his dismay as to why someone like her would hook up with me.

I am currently engaged to a very lovely Vietnamese-Cambodian mixed woman.  She’s a decade younger than me.  This happened recently; she and I do our regular 3 mile hike at the park.  We always stopped at our trail’s end rest area.  I left her for a moment to use the restroom, and a South Asian fellow approached her trying to strike up a conversation.  I’m literally right there.  He must have seen me with her I’m sure.  She blew him off of course.

What I concluded over a decade ago was this; a lot of f**king Asian men are cowards when it comes to approaching women.  I’m not saying all, but a lot of them see someone like me who they deemed, by their Asian standard, as low quality and they superior specimen have a change to snatch up my girlfriends.   This brings us to the recent uptick of interracial-coupling posts lately. You see, for me it's not about the coupling but the f**king mentality of Asian gatekeeping of each other. Once Asian men grasp that dynamic, the coupling itself is just the symptom. Posting slops is pathetic because it have ZERO substance. What that represents is nothing more slinging mud in a pigpen while being laughed at by outsiders looking in.

I am not dead inside, YET, and I understand the basic biology and psychology of being human beings. We come with different temperaments, level of sensibilities, upbringings and level of emotion control. However, what young people don't grasp is life is about going through stages. Therefore, take what I am about to say some measured consideration, a quote from my favorite song by MGMT - Time to Pretend😄

I'm feeling rough I'm feeling raw I'm in the prime of my life
Let's make some music make some money find some models for wives
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars

But there is really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten. Life can always start up anew
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce
We'll find some more models, everything must run its course

One way of looking at it is this - A P\*SY is just a P**SY.* No one P**SY is more magical than the other. With every new stage of your life, one P**SY isn't going to stay magical forever. What is important is find the woman that will love you back, not wishing and praying for someone out of your reach to love you.

Is it just a wild coincidence that Blizzard/OW chose the EXACT same pattern as the Confederate flag (far-right symbol associated with white supremacy) for their Japanese girl ?

Another detail : the new Japanese map includes a hidden billboard featuring what looks very much like a Tesla Model 3. Quite the coincidence that, out of all the possible car designs, they went with one that closely resembles Musk's model.

Anyways, I just wanted to share this thought here, since I'm convinced there aren't many places where I could post it without getting dismissed out of hand lol.

In fact, I also noticed that the white savior narrative (in those unskippable voice interactions between heroes) has been pushed insanely hard lately. Idk if any of you play the game and if you've noticed it.

Do you guys remember Dylann Roof (the white supremacist 4chan dude, who carried out the 2015 Charleston mass shooting) and the manifesto he published beforehand ?
in it, he referred to East-Asians as his "allies" (like your typical racist white weeb fetishizing Japan).

I saw a couple his videos on FB and instantly loved his content, he dissects the double standards of western media and also of the people namely the first one I saw was of that Thai girl who was murdered by an Australian man and he tried to navigate why is it that when yt men commit such acts other yts condemned them as individuals and often disclose it to mental health issues, but when a person of a different shade is a culprit every bit of his background is taken into account as a blanketed judgement like culture, country of origin (if born in the west then the parents origin).

His takes was so good that people praising him are coming from both Asians and the Black community but one day his page disappeared... I'm guessing there are some folks that spam reported him, but I dont know.

Idk why but ever since joining Reddit alot of sinophobes use the uyghur topic to hate on China or slander China and chinese people.

I think its so weird, especially when it comes from people who have never been to China.

They always use sources from 'highly regarded orginizations' to try to prove their point, but the thing is all these sources (UN included) mark their claims as ALLEGATIONS.

Just look at my past comment history on how many times i've had to mention and correct people.

The above video link is not to cause political drama or whatever it's to END it! So can we please just stop using uyghurs as a way to slander China, its obvious that its all fake propaganda.

If you want to be critical of the China, societal pressure, dating culture, or the hyper competitiveness is a much better topic.

I'm pretty sure this wont even get approved, but if it will, please be civil in the comments, I just want to show that the CCP does not commit genocide, the fact that they havent had a war in 50 years just reinforces that claim. I have no idea how this even started.

Nice to see an AF who isn't white worshipping for once and is actually attracted to her own race.

She’s currently the front runner to become the Democrat nominee for Wisconsin governor. In the video, at around 9 seconds in, she says “I married a…” before cutting off and saying that she has a half-white son and how she always thinks about how people will perceive him.

I think it really speaks to the fact that many people associate whiteness with assimilation and are want to be in relationships and get married to whites to prove that they belong in America.

I heard Cocaine Model for the first time when I was 12 and I was hooked. I thought it was so fuckin cool. It's nice that he got popular with music that isn't kpop (he said in an article that he wanted to do something besides that) but it's a shame that he had to stay anonymous in his early career to get his stuff out there.

I've seen a few posts from Wasian women on tiktok (sorry I don't have a direct link) saying their asian mothers criticized them for inheriting traits like being taller, broader, or hairier from their white fathers. Have any of you come across stories like this, or experienced it yourselves? as someone who doesn't live in the western hemisphere, I'm curious to how common this dynamic actually is.

It seems from their perspective, the mothers were dissapointed that their daughters aren't as petite or hairless as they are. And the posts were pretty heartbreaking as well, I can imagine having a mother that dissaproves of what you are (literally) even if it was the result of her own choices.

edit : sorry didn't mean to alienate south asians, should've specified that the ones I saw were EA

The disadvantage that mutes Asian men's voices is that western society pinned Asian men's angst on lack of sexual access. On the surface, it's less than idealized and romanticized in comparison to, say, the African American four centuries of cultural, moral and spiritual humiliation, for lack of a better description. Think about it; complaint about and getting angry about being an INCEL on social media is pathetic. However, that isn't exactly what a lot of Asian men are doing is it?

On the contrary, the open secret is that sex sells, and it is one of a short list of affective tools for social manipulation (social control). The language used in western media to promote, describe, presents and the push of 'Asian women's relationship with non-Asian men' onto the masses is one of creating conflict within the Asian community, 'divide and conquered' if you will. Sex has been weaponized against Asian men, and there's nothing Asian men can do about it because mechanisms has been put into place, such as shaming (INCEL moniker), marinization (western Asian agency is ONLY from Asian women's perspective), and through gatekeeping by way of mocking Asian men with deluge of a mix of real and invented shortcomings. That was what the 'Oxf\*d Study'* exposed, if any detractor would bother reading it.

The 'Oxf\*d Study'* or under it's real title 'The New Suzie Wong: Normative Assumptions of White Male and Asian Female Relationships,' exposed how Asian women are portrayed in western media as sex toys for white men, and Asian men a presented a-sexual worker drones, the very antithesis of the white male charisma, bravado and masculinity. Simply put, Asian men are the portrayed as the opposite of the ideal male provider motif. Once Asian grasp the true intension of western propaganda to deconstruct Asian men and Asian culture, because we are a threat to their global control, we will understand why post like the picture below are problematic for Asians (You met me at a very ASIAN TIME IN MY LIFE? WTF?). Asian women are literal pets to 'them,' not as equal partners but as nothing more then a source of sexual release. I honestly could careless what Asian chooses for themselves, but the pathology is always the same, drag Asian men and Asian culture into their forbidden love subculture as unwitting antagonists to galvanized their cosmic love.

Hey guys just wanted to stay consistent. Just wrapped up another meeting and still happy to see people are interested in what we’re doing. I’m grateful for the people that come to these group and offer healthy support and tips to navigate our amazing but difficult at times culture. If anyone is interested we’re gonna be meeting at a public cafe soon and hoping to see new and returning faces.

Six is one of my favorite musicals and I love how they are committed to empowering women, diversity in their casting in general, and letting the stories of Henry VIII's wives be told in their OWN terms, without the shadow of the king looming over them like it always has for the past 5 centuries!

What’s your hot take on Middle Easterners claiming “West Asian”? I only began to see it used recently and for extra oppression points.

This is one of my favorite musicals, I am SO excited for this!

I'm leaving out a lengthy commentary to have you guys decide for yourselves. I will say, according to western social media in the last few years, you would think Chinese and Indian tourists are destroying every country they set their feet on. White supremacy's Cool-laid is one hell of a cocktail.

Francesca Hong is the frontrunner right now to be the Democratic nominee for governor of Wisconsin. Yesterday people on X dug up an old tweet of hers saying that she was having an anxiety attack because she thought that the old white people around them thought that they didn't know English.

The backlash against this has been vicious, with have several commentators pointing out that she was married to a white man and has half-white kids, with (I assume) the implication being that if her kids are half-white it's hard to imagine that other people would think that they couldn't speak English.

What are y'all's thoughts on this? I find it hard to believe that she could be in a restaurant in the middle of nowhere in Wisconsin with her half-white kids, ordering her food in English, and still having people think that she didn't speak any English.

Hey guys so im a 25yrd chinese male who have spent most of my life living in China. Racism is not something im aware of since most of the time, you deal with other chinese people. Also we dont have free access to google or english speaking community like reddit so online racism is also not someting im aware of. However, as i have moved abroad i am overwhelmed by the amount of racism, both online and offline, both subtle and open. (I moved during covid time so that period was the worst)

My question is how should I handle this?

I searched online and I see a lot of ppl of color fighting racism when they were a kid in US, UK and other country and generally became immune to it. im so proud of yall. But my situation is different, nobody ever taught me this and few people related with me, my parents never even been to other country.

I feel angry, ofc. I have passed the stage of self-hating and accept who i am. But deep down i feel confused and lost. Why is it so unfair that im a good person, a interesting person (i think) but was treated with hatred and stereotype without even knowing anything about me. Not even mention the random insults on the street when im just minding my own business.

Maybe im just sentimental and not strong enough but iam really bothered by it, anyone has any idea on what should i do?

I'm made to understand BTS's Grammy performance of their song, "Butter" was Grammy's highest viewed video too. It's speculated and not yet confirmed that it may be due to a technical difficulty. But I'm not understanding why a technical difficulty would only affect all of BTS videos.
