I've had the pleasure of reading this blog post today and some of the responses. It's a post by some artsy asian chick who "calls out Asian females for preferring white men". There are quite a few responses, which attempt to hamster the fact that Asian women do in fact prefer white men. Although I think this whole racial classification in dating is absolute horseshit and I personally have very cosmopolitan tastes in women - it still is a great observation on hamstering. Here's the essence of the post:

  1. Asian women experience a much greater amount of privilege in a white-dominated society than Asian men, specifically lighter-skinned East Asian women.

  2. Asian women have been societally influenced to think that white men are more attractive than Asian men because western media has emasculated Asian men.

  3. Certain Asian women just don't want to admit that they have a white guy fetish so they put the blame on the dudes.

So far so good, here's a response post: "Not all Asian women who date white men are influenced to think Asian men are unattractive. Sometimes relationships and love happen the way they happen. There are many Asian women who love Asian men but are dating white because that is how fate works."

"In addition, we are left at the bottom of the heap when white feminism is at play, so I do not think as Asian women we are in any position to judge and blame others, and even if an Asian woman has a white guy fetish this is all the blame of colonialism and oppression rather than anything else."

What I see here is: "I will keep doing what I'm doing and I have no desire not only to be held accountable for my choices (because colonialism and opppression and etc), but merely reflect on them. No matter what, I will find a way to justify it".
