The allure of 'yellow fever': New documentary explores why so many white American men aspire to marry Asian women

[Janelle2002 3,865]

Of course not. I'm racist, or so I've been told

See, American women got such limited options.

Plus she's a lawyer.

I tried to catch it before she responded, but I wasn't fast enough. If you take a shot at the queen, you best not miss.

Trust and believe, any American man who doesn't want to treat you right, isn't worth your time....

Tell that to the men.

More talk like this and I will lose my well-honed sense of humility.

Back to topic: My beloved Mr U used to hang out with members of the Pickup Artist (PUA) community as part of a project he was working on. Having an Asian girlfriend was considered to be the mark of achieving alpha male status -- these are women who are naturally subservient, are mysterious and exotic, and will take care of their men like no American whale could. But when Mr U met some of these girlfriends, he was struck by the fact that several of them had neither personality nor looks in their favour. What was attractive to their PUA boyfriends was only that they were Asian. He could see how those women who were pretty or witty or affectionate were attractive, and their Asian-ness was neither here nor there. This kind of fetishism to him seemed creepy, not least because he himself prefers not to date Asian women, since they all remind him of his mom.

I try, but most of them don't listen...

It's like a fetish when we were in Japan.

Mr U has gone CABA, which means he's been spoiled forever. There is no Rubicon for CABA-wards travelers....
