A short featurette from a PBS documentary from a few years ago. From the video description:
When it comes to "yellow fever,” many argue it’s a two way street. In this webisode, Asian women confess reasons for preferring white men including that they’re “more confident, better looking.” Academics unpack the reasons why, including “hiergamy,” the sociologists’ term to describe a universal female desire for marrying above one’s own socioeconomic status.
universal female desire for marrying someone above ones own socioeconomic status
:bugs-no:
universal female desire for marrying someone above ones own socioeconomic status Universal human desire to not die of poverty
It’s not like women have had to battle thousands of years of financial oppression or anything :blob-no-thoughts:
Gee, I wonder if a history of requiring women to be financially subservient has anything to do with this? No, it must be those greedy women with their flawed genetics
True, although I have noticed that even in higher socioeconomic groups, the ratio still seems skewed in favor of white guy asian girl couples rather than the other way around.
There’s probably a lot of reasons it could be. The west is great at propaganda after all. Maybe they bought into the idea that the West is the amazing progressive place that lets you be free.
It’s really simple. White guys know better than to put hot Asian guys in films. They learned that the hard way in the 1920s
Now though, everyone has access to the internet, and Kpop just exists and stuff
