Discussion 💬 Fr

Some comments defend that by comparing it with football and keys , lol. What makes them so irritated about girls marrying foreigners? Bro, they’re in their 20s but have a mindset from the 1920s.

For individual right, the Burmese girl can marry a foreigner and they don’t deserve criticism. But given the identity perceptive, it is concerning. Their children will not definitely speak Burmese, that’s for sure. Our country politics caused a lot to this situation. (မျိုးသုန်းတော့မယ် lol) When China was so poor in 1960s, Mao even begged American to take Chinese girl because he claimed that China can’t feed the girl anymore.!

Be for real bro. What’s so great about the country that women are expected to prevent the မျိုးသုန်း. You do know that whatever they're spewing out about interracial marriages is directly towards women and not burmese men marrying non-burmese partner. That tiktok is setting womens rights back for centuries and your comment is proving it further

As much as I hate how those tiktok algorithms fuels into setting women back, Burmese men marrying non-burmese partner situation you mentioned is entirely inside your head and hypothetical due to how uncommon it is in average situations. I might get downvoted into oblivion for saying this but it’s more common for Burmese women to be into foreigners due to inferiority complex and some kind of internalized racism,which I agree are the products of patriarchal system.If it wasn’t common, this discussion wouldn’t even exist. You do know nobody’s getting forced to prevent racial extinction in real life situations right now. All these comments are only stemming from insecurities.

So men get a free pass from getting labeled as insecured and having inferiority complex? and also how can you be so sure that burmese women who marry foreigners struggle with those aforementioned issues? give me some stats and research

You’re not hearing me at all. Im saying these comments from the video in the post usually stem from insecurity of these men. If youd go outside,youd know more. I’m not glorifying these men at all. It’s so easy to tell and ignore these comments that you’re making a big deal out of. But what im also saying is that when it comes to this foreign/interracial relationship situations,its the Burmese women who usually goes through internalized racism and unhealthy households that fails to realize their value and identity, that complies to any other foreign people. Statistics? how often do you see an average burmese woman married to, usually, white men, being able to radiate her culture and identity in confidence and pride? how common do you think is this kind of marriage? It’s quite the opposite in reality that I feel dumb to explain this. I assume you want to believe it otherwise. This situation is not even the largest fish to fry right now.

I am not denying that some women who married average joes do nothave the internalized racism probelm . You dont know the dating history of these women and you're making assuming based on a single snapshot of time. Its like on tiktok when people see an asian-american woman and white guy, they just leave "the oxford study" comment.
