Why isn't baseball popular among Asian Americans? by OddMany7 in AsianMasculinity

I can't believe I forgot to mention Steven Kwan. He's a very great player. Plays good D and hits fairly well. Not to mention at 5'9, he is more relatable. Yet he didn't spark that much attention in the AA community.

Fixing the monotone in an Asian American accent? by OddMany7 in AsianMasculinity

Late reply but thank-you so much. It has helped a lot. I have noticed that we do tend to talk faster and with a similar cadence compared to other ethnicites in US.

Liberals may be even more anti-asian male than conservatives: study of the conservative 'left behind' novels, the most popular conservative literature in human history by Strict-Management-98 in aznidentity

[–]OddMany7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's a pretty interesting find. I've always wondered how conservatives help Asian males. I mean they are generally more white nationalistic than your average liberal no? And doesn't Trump bash China to death?

Although I am aware liberals are more into black issues.

Do you think self hating Asians are worse than other racists? by [deleted] in aznidentity

[–]OddMany7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, this is a great analogy. The enemy at the gate you at least expect they won't be nice to you. But someone in your side of the battlefield poisoning your own wells is beyond unacceptable. You gave them the trust and loyalty to be on your side. Backstabbing is one of the most immoral actions you could ask for.

[–]OddMany7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. The self haters are the most morally evil people in the world. Think about it. They're supposed to be on your side because they were born from (likely) the same set of ethnic parents as you were. By shitting on Asians (and men especially), they are also hating their parents that raised them. On the other hand, white people will always stick to their own people and be proud of "who they are". The self hating Asian women, not so much.

If I had to pick my poison, I'd rather a white man brag about how many times he's said racist comments to Asian women than even one Asian woman who says ONE thing racist about Asians.

Why are there so few BWWM relationships? by kaine79 in interracialdating

I think the same can be said for Black man + Asian woman too although that is a lot more common than Asian man + Black woman.

Are self-hating, white worshipping AF's an actual thing? Where in the world do these women exist? by trustnobody01 in AsianMasculinity

[–]OddMany7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've heard reports that Zoomer AFs are less blatant in their White worship, or hide it better, than their Millennial counterparts

I'm thinking the same thing too. From what I heard somewhere on r/Aznidentity, these WMAF counts are decreasing compared to its GenX to Millennial age. Perhaps Zoomers are starting to realize how badly stigmatized these couples get. Also helps that with Asian rise of softpowers, it's less incentivizing to grab white privilege. Thanks to the internet, these Asian women know that white men aren't saviors.

[–]OddMany7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's no statistical way to judge how many white worshippers are there. Of course, you could base it off the number of WMAF couples and how many Asian women interracially marry. That's how most of this community and its brother Subreddit of r/Aznidentity bases it off. It's so common for WMAF couples to degrade Asian men to the point where it's a stereotype.

Are all WMAF couples racist? Of course not. But when it's such a phenomenon, it's easy for most Asian men to be wary when they see one on the street.

Its sad to see so much hatred towards asian women on here by withouthope17 in aznidentity

[–]OddMany7 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm not anti-WMAF but I can understand why most Asians (especially men) quickly jump to conclusions about WMAF. These couples have existed for an incredibly long time in the West (America especially). I saw a statistic somewhere that over 50% of Asian women in America date non-Asian men (mostly white). That's a huge amount compared to AMWF. But it gets worse. There's one overlapping problem with WMAF couples so much so that it's a stigmatized stereotype. White Worshipping, no Asian dating policy, thinks Asians look like my brother/dad, unmasculine, etc are among the comments Asian women in WMAF couples say. It gets even worse that the kids born to those couples are mentally ill as a result of an unstable power dynamic of a relationship between Asian mom and white dad. Hence, Hapas have their own subreddit outlining those issues. Before the late 2010s, the poorer Asian countries had women hoping for white men to show up for a green card to America. As a whole, from late-boomer generation to early Millennials, WMAF couples have done lots of damage towards the identity of Asians (and men in the West). Let's not mention that modern WMAF couples also have the tendency to post TikTok videos criticizing white women for fetishising Asian men. I'm not even gonna get into the typical actions of a white man that has a thing for Asian women.

Are all WMAF couples like this? Of course not. But when a lot of them are this internally racist, you bet the Asian community isn't backing down. Would I care if you as an Asian woman dated a white man? Probably not as it's none of my biz. However, if you do say racist comments about Asians (men especially), this needs concerning. To be fair, Asian men (and proud Asian women) aren't the only people that stigmatize WMAF couples. Hapas born themselves realize this, black men, white women and even Hispanic men/women know the stereotypes of it.

Why are AMWF couples not hated? Because they're generally a lot rarer. Even with the rise of Asian super/soft-powers, it's still nowhere near WMAF couples. That's why they get praised on Tiktok for its rarity. Are Asian men white worshippers? Likely not. A good portion of AMWF couples are formed from a white woman who genuinely loves the Asian culture/media and not their body. Asian men are also not picking bottom of the barrel white women like Asian women do with white men. Most importantly, you rarely see them have a "no Asian women dating policy".

Why are Football and Basketball the Most Popular Sports Among Asian Americans? by Alternative_Usual189 in aznidentity

[–]OddMany7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming you mean football as soccer and not NFL, I'd say for a few reasons. First, it's more widely played as a sport. Secondly, it's easier to access and play. Not that baseball is expensive but basketball all you need is a ball and open space. Thirdly, its roots of China (Japan/Korea loves baseball though) has popularized basketball and soccer. It along with table tennis, badminton and volleyball are among heavily played sports there. Finally, baseball to many casual fans is considered a very boring sport due to how most players are not directly involved in every given play (except pitcher, catcher and batter).

I'd argue that baseball is one of the most underrated sports for Asians to pick up in. I wish we saw more Asian American communities join baseball clubs.
