Once in a while you come across a reddit submission that you know is just going to piss you off if you click on it. Well, today was that day, but fortunately, this article was not infuriating. It was so obviously the mind vomit of a self-hating Asian American chick trying desperately to pin her racial misgivings on anything and everything but herself.
Actually, it was infuriating in how poorly written it was. Way to represent the Asian American's mastery of the written English language!
Let's start from the beginning:
I'm an Asian girl. I don't date Asian guys. Yep, I'm one of those that date lots and lots of (mostly, but not always) white guys.
Why? It's simple: I'm a racist.
Yep, I said it.
And guess what? I’m not alone. I’m actually –- shudder to think -- part of a trend. Asians are marrying non-Asians at a rate much higher than any other racial group. This summer Pew reported that 37 percent of all recent Asian-American brides wedded a non-Asian groom. In an earlier study of the couples who married in 2008, 9 percent of whites, 16 percent of blacks and 26 percent of Hispanics did so with someone of a different race or ethnicity. Thirty-one percent of Asians did.
This trend has nothing to do with skin color. It has everything to do with patriarchy and cultural sexism and a lifestyle I grew up with and want nothing to do with anymore.
The trend regarding race has nothing to do with race? Ooookay.
This is the first and also last reference to patriarchy or cultural sexism in the entire article, although she does go on to talk about how she wants nothing to do with the culture she grew up in. How this woman can make a living as a freelance writer is beyond me.
The physical attributes of my ideal man? If we're being stereotypical about it, well, I like geeky, scrawny and without muscles. I like effeminate.
Side note: I've noticed that most of our more vocal detractors always say shit like this. And they're usually below average in the looks department. What's the deal with homely liberal bloggers/talking heads and their love for herbly white men? Gentlemen, we have now found yet another benefit for lifting weights and gettin' manly: it repels chicks who think like this one.
I'll save you the trouble of slogging through the rest of her hamstering. Here's the real reason why she will ONLY date white men:
Dating white men means acceptance into American culture. White culture.
Here she speaks on behalf of all Asian women who dig white boys:
But it's also because we still see ourselves as minorities, immigrants, outsiders. And we want the same thing new residents of America have wanted for hundreds of years: To be true Americans.
Hey, you know what my grandpa and his brothers did to prove that they were true Americans? They joined the army, flew over to Europe, and fucked up nazis. And this was after the government interned them as "Enemy Aliens". If any of them were foolish enough to think that marrying outside of their race would expedite their acceptance as Americans, they weren't stupid enough to write an article about it.
Here we have the self-hating Asian's tragically narrow view of what it means to be American. The sad thing is it seems that she believes she is defying her mother, who is "is obsessed with career 'steps' and 'paths'", and her culture by dating white guys. But mama's quest for higher station and status in life is quite alive and well in Little Jenny. After all, there are plenty of geeky, scrawny, and effeminate black guys out there.
