http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1316/1436119560_8db1fc3bd7_o.jpgAsian chicks dig white guys. Somewhere in the midst of the pseudo-nationalistic indoctrination our well-meaning parents inflict upon us, we ladies stop paying attention and allow tall(er), skinny, white boy engineers to steal our hearts.What’s up with the race treason? One theory: They love us. Asian fetish, yellow fever. Whatever you call it, there’s plenty of literature out there telling white men that we slant-eyed princesses are the exotic, submissive, and hypersexualized women of their dreams.http://www.stanford.edu/~nancytpn/storage/kristin_kreuk.jpgThis post, however, is not about why white guys live in a delusional fantasy world. It’s a dissertation on why, despite the tawdry roots of our suitors’ affection, we just eat it up. One economist says it’s because Asian women are the least discriminatory female demographic (second-to-last paragraph)– that “the white man-Asian woman pairing was the most common form of interracial dating … because of the women’s neutrality, not the men’s pronounced preference.”

Uh, ok. Whatever. What about our strict fathers and sheltered childhoods. Plus, we all saw how well that John Lennon/Yoko Ono thing worked out. And we can’t resist everything white men have to offer–and no, I’m not talking about that. White men indulge our deepest PDA-fantasies; they hold our hands, they aren’t terribly cerebral about their emotions, and they will–heaven forbid–tell their parents that we’re actually dating. Asian parents don’t do any of that gross hand-holding, making-outhttp://star-ecentral.com/archives/2006/9/22/movies/f_03robbhood.jpg stuff. Asian boys learned the lesson; girls, not so much.

Lastly, if you think this is all a pile of BS, we all can admit one tangible reason the Asian/white pairing works so well. God knows all we want are highly attractive children, and halfie babies are so damn cute.

Hmm... interesting blog. (I'm English, personally; we're the Japanese of Europe...)

A few comments:

I have met Hapa girls and I have been to New Mexico... honestly, I can't tell the difference. One Hapa lady friend (Korean-Greek) told me that Mexicans kept talking Spanish at her. But although she did not look nearly as exotic as she in fact was I will concede she was cute.

As for Ono - Lennon, my impression is that the relationship was working out great until some butthead shot the gaijin.

I lived in Japan for 10 years and have 4 gorgeous half-breed kids.

My youngest now works at the Polynesian Cultural Center in Hawaii where he tells the tourists that he's a full blooded hawaiian, tongan, or samoan. He's half Japanese and Half white....no polynesian blood at all.

He looks a lot like Johnny Lingo in the old movie.

A buddie of mine refers to his ABC sister's kids as 'Swirlies', but they sure are cute. As for the whole Asian fetish thing, it's totally A) Childish and B) Moronic. Girls lap it up because they like the attention, but it's hardly the kind of thing that's going to result in a real relationship. As for my ABC friend, he's going steady with a good Korean lass who is totally hiding there realtionship from her parents, but that's life.

OK, easily offended hetero folks, stop reading now. Gaysian guy here to say that the white guy fetish is even more prevalent among gay (U.S.) Asian guys. Not brain surgery to figure out why, for the all the obvious socio-political psycho-sexual reasons. If white guys have the ostensibly highest status in the American dating pool among straight people, you can imagine how doubly minimized a gay Asian guy might feel in the even more insular competitive gay world. Don't know if you would ever hear this in a straight bar, but get more than two Asians in a gay bar, and some white guys will actually say out loud that we have taken over, and when did this place become Saigon City. Believe it. Drag out ever bad cliche about the older unattractive white guy getting the twinky off-the-boat smaller Asian guy. The "last one picked" syndrome.

Pretty much the same, but to a lesser extent, for the American-born Asian gay guys, who are most likely to want to date in this order: White, Hispanic, Asian, black. It's changing slowly; improved self-image, self-empowerment, enlightment, or simple political correctness now dictate that younger gay Asians will actually consider dating their own kind. It's progress of sorts. But go to any gay ghetto in the big cities, and if you see a couple where one is Asian, the odds are more than good that other guy's gonna be white.

You really can't blame us guys for getting upset about losing all the fine Asian women to the white guys. My theory is that a lot of Asian women are looking for the opposite of their dads - liberal, spontaneous, communicative men who can give them a thrill. And let's face it, 95% of the asian guys out there are just like their dads...but there is 5% of us that are the exception...keep on looking for us, ladies, and please don't write us off because our faces are yellow - we might surprise you!

As a white teenager in Asia, I heard on more than one occasion that big eyed barbarians are bigger but Asian guys are harder. (I don't care to do any comparing myself.) So, don't judge a guy by his package.

Meanwhile...

If I were an Asian woman in the US I would find all talk about "selling out" and the like a big, big turn off. I imagine one of the nice things about White guys is in the US is that they're free to be themselves(, not unlike the younger generations of Asian guys in Asia). Not that White guys aren't usually White to the core, they just don't have prove to each other that they are. They can do whatever they want (in everything from choice of job to choice of car) and not get told to "stay White," for example. It's gotta be liberating to date one.

When a Korean-American woman tells her parents or friends she's dating a Korean-American guy, they at least think they know what to expect. If she tells them she's dating a White guy, well, there's just no knowing what you're gonna get. Take it from a White guy with a beautiful biracial daughter; if someday she says she's dating a white guy... yikes!!1 That could mean ANYTHING! I mean, am I going to have to beat the crap out of him to get him to call me "sir" and stand when I enter the room or not? So it has got to be scary for your average Asian parent.

Asian women tend to be a sexual fetish for most white males and many asian female are greatly influenced by western media, the idea of white male with colored women are pushed more making it the only 'standardized' cross pairing.

Half babies are not anymore beautiful then full asian babies or full white babies because I've seen good and ugly of both.
If they were beautiful it should be because they are adorable children not because of their race.

We are human not dog breeders.

I disagree with somethings posted, for one there's nothing wrong with only dating a person from our own culture/heritage.

We can not say that people date people their own race because they have to or for their parents etc. Some of us don't realize that people who choose a partner from the same ethnic backgrounds because of similar values, they can relate to each other better, they love their culture and they love their own people. I don't expect all westerners to understand this.
People should have some respect for asian for being simply asian. It is not an oppression to date within your their own culture. If anything consider the strongest pressure in a white dominated society is to date a white male just to get racial priviledges.

I really admire those who are able to hold their identity and cultural heritage with esteem in any country and I admire those who continue to carry on valuable traditions because it is a beautiful thing.

People should not be so quick to criticize something they have lost touch with.

That's surprisingly accurate. I'm a tall, skinny engineer dating a Korean/Japanese girl. There are several reasons why each of us are dating outside of our race. The most superficial reason of course is looks, and I do admit that I find Asian girls more attractive than White girls in general. This is a fairly new thing for me, and if I dug down deep enough it would probably be a psychological reaction to the denial I got from girls of my own race in the past. Asian girls are, by and large from my experience less discriminatory when it comes to dating. I can easily find an attractive, intelligent, well-educated Asian girl, but it's much more difficult (well, nearly impossible) to find that in a white girl.

Genetics is another reason. Since many diseases in Asia are recessive and not found in whites, a mixed child has a better chance at not inheriting diseases that might be latent or manifest in either parent. The result is usually a healthier child.

Although there may be little truth in this because of my limited experiences outside the US and my admitted ignorance of other cultures, I still feel as though the superficial, "bubbly" personalities are much more prevalent in the United States than in the Asian countries. Girls that behave in this manner turn me off completely. This is not to say that I'm unaware of trendy Japanese culture, the Korean and Japanese variants of our MTV, J-Pop, K-Pop...etc but it's easier to meet an Asian girl who is, as I said before, intelligent, well-educated, attractive, AND deep.

I do NOT however like submissive and obedient girls but I feel as though a lot of whites do. This is not to say that all white guys who prefer submissive personalities are out to dominant their Asian girlfriend or wives though. Those skinny, socially awkward engineer types certainly don't have it in them and might even find white girls intimidating! My girlfriend is actually assertive and I like this very much.

She hates Korean guys because in her experience they don't treat her with respect. They also like submissive girls and will treat females poorly. She thinks that these "engineer" white types are more respectful to women and this is entirely true in my case.

These might have been initial reasons for us to date each other, but the relationship is much stronger now and built on love after 1 year of dating.

"we are human, not dog breeders"
That's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.

I never thought of it like that, but soooo true! We all want beautiful halfie children! What are some good mixes with full-blooded Filipino blood (with Chinese and Spanish ancestry, of course)??
Anyone?

I'm not sure, but it seems to me that the white man/Asian woman thing is mutual. I also think it's natural. White men and Asian women are the two most powerful demographics in a lot of ways. If you look at the board of directors and senior management of most big companies in the U.S. you might be shocked to find that the top two demos represented are white men and Asian women. If you look closely you'll see this pattern repeated in many aspects of society.

Why do I prefer Asian women? Not because I think they're submissive or hypersexualized. No, that's not it at all. I like a lady who's likely to know all six flavors of quarks. A lady who doesn't need to be fooled in to thinking she's "got me trained" or any other such pseudo-femenistic idiocy. Also, yes, I like the way Asian women look. I think they're more beautiful, sexier, and, in short, more desirable in all ways than any other women. Besides, it's my opinion that Asian women have the best orgasms, and what could be better than that?

Once you sleep with a hot tight young Japanese chick and hear her whimper and squeal like a 12 year old girl getting raped while you bang her, you'll never turn back. 8-)

Okay, so point taken that Asian girls desire white men. However, if that is true then why do you have a picture of an African American male Wentworth Miller?

Well, i am Asia, but i like all races. For example: i like Will Smith (he is hot), Johny Depp, Keanu Reeves, Denzel Washington and of course some Asian guys. The reason why most of the Asian ladies like to marry American guys is they treat everybody EQUAL. I mean, why do we have to clean up your husband's dirty socks when you both get back from work and ONLY YOU do the work? ? ? Why HE rest and you clean up? ??? It is ridiculious!!!!! Wife is someone who you wish to spend your rest of your life! Not a housekeeper! But, if there is a Asian guys who treats women EQUALLY then that totally FINE.

I'd hate to be negative but all this hypocritical talk makes me sick. You know, I think half the people here are lying -- seriously, just speak your mind.

Addressed to a particular girl who happens to make a bunch of self-serving comments: It really sounds like you are trying to justify initial attraction with something vague and abstract like 'freedom' or whatever. Why not just admit that part of the reason stems from looks? In many cases, looks have brought many couples together, both successes and failures. Are you trying to imply that couples brought together by appearance are inferior? And as for the asian males bit: asian males representing their... fathers? Where in the world do you girls live? Based on visits to half the states in the US, surfing in the internet, and meeting overseas students, asian males nowadays act the same as white males -- you have the flamboyant, the reserved, the cocky, and the rare suave. I'd say that those who encounter people such as you are unfortunate -- outdated theories, cheap justification, and weak substantiation. You have a lot to go.

And as for one or two of the so-called asian males, I'm afraid that your comments are utter trash. Mad because asian girls are picking whites and not you? That's pretty pathetic. Pretty petty too. Though you may think it was pretty sweet to pull a sexual joke or two, no one thinks it is funny or serves any point.

Why rant on a blog? No particular reason. It's just that shallow or half-baked love irks me without end. Couples coupling on novelties or whatnot never last in this age.

I am asian, my husband white. But, I rather say it like this...if we're going to talk about being "real". I am first generation Hmong-American, extraverted, 5'5, educated, out spoken about social justice, and fluent in both my native tongue, Hmong and English. My husband, French with some Native American heritage, strong belief, values, and morals, assertive, decisive, protective, and family-oriented, and educated.

He comes from Podonk WI and I come from inner city Mpls. How God brought us together? Our passions, goals, and aspirations were dead on the same. Our looks? We're both attractive people, but when we fell in love, it wasn't our looks that was going to make our marriage last, it was who we are or want to be come. Sure, we stand out when we're out in public because I'm clearly Asian and he is clearly white. We embrace both, but are not defined by either. Our sense of identity goes much further then what meets the eye. I am insulted when white men, asian men, black men attribute my person-hood to what they see in their asian porn or in the media. My white husband loves me for my heart and thus embraces my ethnicity and culture, but a marriage isn't a marriage if there is no reciprocity. I also embrace my husband's ethnicity and the culture that he grew up in as well. We don't wake up everymorning to say "I love you, sweetheart" because we're of a different color....we say that because it's genuine, it's deep, it has meaning...we know each other and our love is much more then our skin color.

Our children will not be raised to accept that they're white or asian...that doesn't mean that society will not treat them as one or the other more or less...but WE will teach them to be compassionate, loving, giving, strong, educated, talented, empathetic, and to treat people as people, not different shades of color.

Ok, let me get off my soap box now. This is my two cents.
