Yellow Fever: Attacking Ignorant Claims

Anonymous

"Dude, why are you always attracted to Asian girls, do you have yellow fever or something bro?" As a guy who happens to find Asian women attractive, few terms annoy me as much as this one. The insinuation that being attracted to a certain race is unnatural, it's a disease and one that needs to be cured!

Michelle Phan and Dominque Capraro- Eww, disgusting an interracial couple! Get it away!

It seems so many people have to have an opinion on other people's private dating lives. I can't begin to explain how ridiculous some people's judgement's are, but I'll push through for the purposes of this take...Let's go over some of the most ignorant judgments I've read online.

You like Asian women because they're submissive

Oh really? Got any evidence for that? You went around and surveyed every single Asian woman and came to that conclusion did you? Or are you just making that statement based on ignorant and racist generalizations because you're too lazy to accept the fact that someone's race and they're behavior do not correlate. Yes, maybe some Asian women are submissive, maybe some white or some black women are too. And besides, who wants a submissive woman anyway? Certainly not me, I like women with some assertiveness, confidence is sexy.

You like Asian women because they're easy

Oh they are? What makes you say that? Have you got hundreds of Asian women chasing after you? Oh, you haven't even dated an Asian woman? Wow, round of applause for you. There's this absolutely ridiculous belief that Asian women are easy, particularly if you're a Caucasian male and I can't stress how stupid this is. It doesn't take a genius to understand that like most groups, Asian women typically prefer to date within their own race.

Why date outside her race when there are some very attractive Asian guys out there who have similar backgrounds to her and therefore she can relate to them easier? For the minority that do choose to go down the interesting path of an interracial relationship, chances are her parents won't approve and she's opening herself up to being judged by said ignorant fools who will try and claim she's easy and a sellout to her race.

You like Asian girls because you couldn't get a white girl

Haha, this one is so wrong on so many levels, you just have to laugh at it. Firstly, it insinuates that white girls are somehow above Asian girls. Um, yeah, no. How about everyone's equal? And secondly, it kind of follows on from the last point: I can honestly say white girls have been by far the easiest for me, and no white girls, I am not insinuating you are easy, I'm just talking from my personal experience. For every Asian girl that has approached me in the past, at least 2-3 white girls have, and that would be expected as we're both white.

So by now the morons are probably confused. If he doesn't believe Asian girls are any different personality-wise to girls of any other race and if he finds it much easier to get with white girls than to get with Asian girls, why would he be attracted to Asian girls? And the answer to that - I HAVE NO IDEA. Maybe it's because I spent 3 years in Taiwan when I was growing up? Maybe it's because I find it more exciting to date someone who has a different background to me? Maybe it's because I just find the facial features that many Asian girls have to be attractive and therefore would be attracted to any girl who has those similar features, whether she's Asian, white, Latina, black..whatever.

But the fact is everyone is free to date whoever they want and if you want to make ignorant judgments about that, people, please keep them to yourself.
