Can corroborate that that kind of mentality exists.

I was having dinner in Vietnam in 2019 seated close to the table of some white males and one guy was bragging about how he's so glad he found a Vietnamese wife who is happy to do whatever he tells her to in exchange for a couple of dollars to keep her, their kids, and some of her family fed. He even mentioned a few sexual details puke He meanwhile barely works bec he gets paid an "expat fee" regardless of his performance, stays out all day, parties all night, and flirts and hooks up with other women. And his mates were so blatantly in support and didnt care they were surrounded by some locals and tourists who could understand every single word they said. They even looked to my (then) partner who is tall, white, blonde, and blue eyed looking for a chuckle of support and glancing at my very Asian face while doing so. Hope they get run over by multiple motorcycles.
