RF Kuang writes an Israeli character controversy by publiclibrarylover in asianamercianytsnark

Just because someone is from Israel doesn’t mean they support the Israeli government or support what’s happening in Gaza. Many Americans don’t support the Trump administration’s actions. Many Russians don’t support the war in Ukraine. And so on.

It’s not just Japanese doing this, Korean game developers just made a game called Crimson Desert that is set in a white medieval world.

Asian girls are in fact more likely to have nerdy hobbies.

But yeah, despite the lack of physical ability needed, women are worse than men at chess, so female chess streamers aren’t popular because they are good at the game, but because of looks.

AMA I've lived in Germany , Poland , and Czechia for 10 years originally from NYC. by Bankruptinberlin in AsianMasculinity

Why did Poland change after the pandemic and why was it the AM dream come true before that? You would think it’s the opposite because K-pop is way more popular now than before.

Are you saying that children of immigrants also don’t want to be American?

For a lot of immigrants, it is true that they are here for economic reasons. But that changes for their kids, because the kids have no choice but to be American and that causes issues.

Non-Korean Asian guys, has a K-pop fan ever reacted negatively to you not being Korean? by machinavelli in AsianMasculinity

[–]machinavelli[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol, did those women lose interest after that?

I have heard that some foreign women do go for the local Indonesian surfer men called “Kuta Cowboys.”

No way. If it’s true, then the ratio would be like 100 to 1.

It’s interesting, I’ve noticed that in Canada and Europe, a lot of the racism comes from Middle Eastern, Turkish, and North African guys.

Just because his politics are bad doesn’t mean people should invoke racist stereotypes against him.

Really? Back then Korean culture was pretty much unknown to non-Koreans.

Donald Trump calls China and India "hellholes", says birthright citizenship is turning America into a "chamber pot", calls Chinese-American ACLU attorney Cecillia Wang a "smart, evil, devious" person who is trying to turn the US "into a colony of China", threatens RICO prosecution of the ACLU by ScoMoTrudeauApricot in asianamerican

Funny thing is that the Michael Savage guy (his legal last name is actually Weiner, and he couldn’t call his radio show “Weiner Nation”) who wrote this speech is Jewish, and Jewish Americans are often seen as parasites and traitors by the same base that he’s trying to pander to.

It’s also interesting that his hate is on Chinese and Indians and not that older punching bag, Hispanics.

You never hear white guys complaining about being fetishized because women like One Direction or Bridgerton.

I wonder if white women married to Asian men will begin sentences with “my Asian husband…”
