Why do spammers and Egyptians want Chinese women?

[almostwitty]

As anyone who runs a blog knows, you tend to get a LOT of spam comments, which are luckily filtered out by most blogging systems. However, this particular one caught my eye today:

“the thing i like about asian women are those long flowing straight hair and those chinky eyes”

I really hope that’s not an excerpt from some poor chap’s dating profile, because I doubt he’s going to get much of a lookup. Imagine if your chat-up line was: “Ooooh I just love your chinky eyes”. That’d be pretty much the same as saying “Oooh I just love your nigger lips”.

(And yes, I thought about censoring the n-word from that sentence, but really, if I’m not going to censor the c-word, then I can’t then go and censor the n-word. Complicated racial politics that come into what was initially a simple blogpost about a spam comment. Oh dear.)

But then I wonder why Chinese women are so highly sought-after. Apparently, Egyptian men can now be added to the list of men around the world who want Chinese women. According to the article from Al Arabiya (which was also quoted in BBC News, but I can’t find the link now), Chinese women are prized for their “Obedience and loyalty”. I’ve got three sisters. None of them are particularly obedient, and I have the scars to prove it.

Oh yeah, with bells on. He's about the only person I do fancy movie-star wise ATM. Then again, my another-time-another-world lost love is half Chinese and lives in Singapore.

Ah, so you had a sip of Yellow Fever. ;) (or is it Dragon Fever, I can never remember...)

Oddly, everyone I know so far who would say yes to a Chinese man already did so at some point...

I've been with Jim for over 13 years now, so opportunties such as the lovely G have been turned down.

I don't think I'd met many people of Chinese origin prior to travelling now I think about it, there was a rainbow of nationalities on my law course (mostly Korean and Israeli), but few Chinese.
