The Asian-American Internet in a nutshell

Wed, 16 May 2012 11:07:07 GMT

Reddit throws questions at Steven Yuen, the sole Asian actor in The Walking Dead, in the modern version of an online chat.

Of course, there’s then a huge section where posters essentially post on the theme of “Dude! How did you manage to bang a white chick ?!”.

I understand and appreciate that it’s generally harder for Western-Asian/Chinese men to find a girlfriend, partially thanks to an image problem – you can probably count the number of famous and hunky Western-Asian male actors on the fingers of one hand. But you know what the bigger problem is? The oblique tendency of some Western-Asian/Chinese men to hide in their bedrooms nurturing their alienation and sexism in lieu of developing a personality that would attract ladies in the first place.

And yes, pot, kettle, black.

Why do spammers and Egyptians want Chinese women?

Mon, 25 Oct 2010 12:14:28 GMT

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.

Friday funny video: “Everybody should date an Asian man”

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 11:51:21 GMT

One of those comedy funny songs by Asian-American comedienne Jenny Kwok, who wins kudos points because:

her YouTube channel is called “A Certain Jen Ne Sais Kwok”, winning the award for most hilarious use of a Chinese surname. After, that is, my soon-to-be-released TV channel BBC Wong…
her song “Everybody should date an Asian man” contains the immortal lyric: “Everybody should date an Asian man … at least f**k one, please please f**k one”
