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.
yeah saw that thread. like i do know there is a tendency in immigrant communities (mine included) to recommend either marrying someone local or stay inside the community. like i got some shit for dating my bf who doesnt speak czech, but ive also got commendations for ‘integrating’. a generalization here is unhelpful because theres a 50/50 tug on both sides it seems to me at least in the czech immigrant community and they always say it in very harsh and certain terms
idk it strikes me as a bit weird because I remember similar Discourse popping up from weirdos on twitter about Luna and EJ
insecure guys no matter their race will always have a chip on their shoulder over women choosing someone that isnt them and will invent some pretty convoluted logic for it too.
Yeah I tend to agree with the line that this is just incel shit trying to cloak itself in “wokeness”.
There may be a real materialist explanation at the heart of this, but going after people for their individual dating preferences will always be :sus-deep: to me
