White girl asian male dating

While this particular woman’s racism may be one of those cases where you sigh to yourself, whisper yikes, and resist further engagement, it’s still indicative of a larger, and sometimes seemingly innocuous phenomenon of fetishizing and dehumanizing Asian bodies – a subject that I find myself all too familiar with.

Even more alarmingly, she not only fetishized underage K-Pop stars, but also made various references to raping them.

Although it’s obvious that traits such as “pretty colored eyes”, a “banging body”, “spunky and outgoing” personality, and non-abusive households are not limited to white women – for the longest time I felt as if my stereotypically “Asian” features – petite figure, brown eyes, and painfully shy personality made me less than beautiful.

Believe my surprise when senior year of high school came around, most of the guys I knew were suddenly interested in dating (East and Southeast) Asian girls, but for all the wrong reasons.

Although I was initially flattered, it didn’t take too long for me to feel incredibly uncomfortable and recognize how messed up it was.

There’s plenty of brilliant pieces out there about the inherent racism and violence behind the fetishization Asian women.
