Dating is hard for everyone no matter what in small towns. It ratchets from hard to near-impossible if you have a highly specific preference like yours. Unless there is a reasonably large Asian popula…

> when I asked if his parents knew about me - he said 3 months would be atypical / “very soon” to introduce. Yeah, I'm an Asian-American and that's more of a cultural thing with us not being close w…
Just re-downloaded Hinge and it seems that now about 95% of the single women in southern California are Asian.
Hinge algorithm is so weird. It makes my feed look like I have a fetish. "Oh, you liked one bald guy? Here's 15 more! Oh that guy is East Asian?? Here's 20 more! You accidentally liked a smoker? The n…

Hello OP. Just sharing my experience as a foreigner who lived in Scotland. I am also Southeast Asian and got quite a number of matches in Scotland when I lived there. I went on a date with a Polish Sc…
I live in Glasgow. Guessing it might have to do with the fact that Asian men are not as sought after and my choice of career.
I am a Southeast Asian woman that has been living in a very international city in Western Europe for a little over 2 years. I ended a 7-year relationship that turned long-distance when I moved to my c…
Hhmm. You probably havent just met your match yet. My colleague had a German girlfriend. He’s Southeast Asian too. They met at work though.
I posted this in the other thread from yesterday but it got locked before I could respond to comments so I'm reposting here with my original post and follow up response: Im trying my best to be posit…
Used to think it was just my Asian mom, then realized it’s pretty much all Asian moms.
You’re a white man larping as an Asian, far too many of you in our spaces. https://preview.redd.it/r4gd6ai7dnng1.jpeg?width=840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=019f6d75b1e12d79eeff8f920d6d1480344ab606

No need to go out of your way to find garbage like this. Just search "why do white men like asian women" on mainstream subs like nostupidquestions or any of those askmen subs, and see all of the defen…
you do nothing but bitch about this sub and its people, when you’re neither Asian nor American; you’re just some white Brit
But is there not a general trend of white men fetishizing Asian women? Like, not all white men, sure. But an uncomfortable amount. If you type "Asian" into the reddit search bar, the largest communiti…
Or just live in an extremely racist town/neighborhood who thinks any Asian American is a prostitute. I’ve seen more white prostitutes than any…so if anything….
Narcissist parents are unfortunately common in Asian families
Gotta love Reddit’s double standards. Feel free to make fun of Asians with the most disgusting stereotypes, but please don’t hurt the feelings of those precious incel passport bros
Both are Asian American. Like all of us are reminded daily that we second class citizens. No matter how much they support the US, ICE can ask for papers and lock them away for days. Don’t blame Eilee…
You’re an Asian woman, aren’t you? So why are you acting like a white man crying reverse racism? Why are you getting mad at other Asians for calling out white men for sexually exploiting Asian women f…
I’m a mod and I just saw a larper report this post like three times, then two more times when we ignored their reports. There’s a good amount of white Reddit lurkers who don’t respect Asians.
Defending white men while hand waving away your own racial fetishization is next level yikes. I would like to think you go this hard when it comes to calling out anti-Asian racism, but I think we all …
TLDR: mediocre white dude having an existential crisis goes to Thailand and fucks a sex worker, comes back to US, struggles with dating, becomes alcoholic. Dates one white woman while in his 40s, she …
Myself included, I've literally never met an Asian girl who did not have abusive parents. Moms especially babies the son and seem to hate their daughter. every. single. time.
It's always the white people complaining about the US representation stuff. Asian people are like, yeah I don't blame her for getting the bag.
Why do Asian American athletes have to go through this? Do European American athletes that go back to compete from where they come from go through this scrutinization?
That’s because the only good Asian is one who is fully assimilated and knows US is the Best Country in the world.
I'm not saying what you've brought up are wrong. But isn't it rather fallacious to argue the fault in the lack of mentioning such topics in an Asian AMERICAN sub? Why, cause they look the part? If so,…
I’ve had people here (USA) refer to me as Chinese, but my Caucasian husband is “American” 😡. When I stare at them, the response is always “You know what I mean.” No, I don’t.
Yes… something about these Americans acting like Asian-Americans *owe* them for having citizenship. Like “be a good girl” for them lol. How I see it Edit: Like we’re paying taxes going towards those…
Canadian citizen here. My provincial ID at the bar wasn't accepted (In Kaua'i of all places, ofc the bartender was also Haole), so I presented my Canadian passport. Mind you, I'm mixed but mostly Asia…
I'm Asian American and have lived in 3 countries in Asia. Everyone assumed I was Chinese, Thai, or Filipino but NEVER American. When I told them I was American, they would smirk or tell me I'm not.
I've wondered about this for a long time. Why is it that white Americans are allowed to be only "American" and every other American has to be an Ethnicity-Nationality name like Asian American, African…
Not really. I worked for a European company and they treated me as American. They rarely acknowledged my Asian background. I'll be regarded as "the American" instead of "the Asian" or "Asian American"…
