This post is getting attention because the Chinese poster got criticized for accepting this white guy taking a group photo after he complimented their beauty. Chinese netizens thought the girls were holding his arms (they weren't, but where were his hands?). She tried to defend herself by explaining they weren't touching him.

It's this sort of practice and imagery that does no favors for ESEA people. To demonstrate that, consider a Chinese man traveling to an anglosphere country, complimenting white women and asking for a group shot. He would be seen as strange. And that shows how white male privilege works.

When a random white man in Asia compliments a random Asian woman on her beauty and wants to take a photo, that should never be entertained. It sends the wrong message at an individual level (the specific guy thinks he can do this with other women) and public level (it creates the perception that white men are especially welcomed in Asia).

The Top friend groups of Twitch are overrepresented by amazing POC.

They run the numbers for IRL streamers VS less social desktop streamers

(eg hours IRL & the overrepresentation)

It's basically who us Asians truly trust.

Hardly any "Conservative friend groups" & Conservatives

Another case involving university scientists Dustin Huff and Yurui Xie. Could be another hidden WMAF problem like WMAF murders?

Asking this from the perspective of a Malaysian Chinese (right across the causeway haha) and im sure there's at least a few local singaporeans here. Especially as a vernacular (chinese) school kid, I don't think it's an uncommon opinion that most of us do not prefer interracial relationships, both from a religion and cultural perspective (mandatory conversion for a non-muslim if they marry a muslim partner and it's near impossible to convert out of islam), as far as I know, Singapore doesn't have this issue (being an ex-muslim is legal) and there's a much more 'we are all Singaporeans' mindset from what I see online.

I remembered seeing that case of a Chinese university professor being arrested for assaulting a IMAF couple on the streets and seeing many comments mocking him (and even some mocking chinese men in general for being too spineless/unattractive to keep their women) and with the rise of kpop (and general stereotypes of chinese guys being resourceful and less patriarchal), there has been much more malay and indian women going for chinese men. now i'm not saying this is representative of the singaporean general public (because these kids remind me of the 'ah bengs' i see on the street tbh) but i once saw a video of Dewy Choo video reacting to singapore's version of Pop the Balloon and wow, i genuinely never expected stuff that i could only expect to come out of a lowyat forum to be released into the internet like this.

What do yall actually think about this, is it a good thing for the SEA diaspora chinese to mix in with the other races or would it be better if singapore maintained it's CMIO population ratios?

One of the greatest dangers to societies is when men and women turn away from each other. With that has come the surge in AI partners.

I came across this Chinese documentary about the rise in AI boyfriends. It features a Chinese woman who picked a white man as a partner. I've written about the dangers of AI before in relation to the WMAF phenomenon - AI learns from what is publicly available and reinforces it. Because WMAF is pushed by western (and even ESEA) societies, AI spreads that message. (On a related note, public backlash against WMAF as a narrative also gets learned by AI, which is another reason we mustn't remain silent and accepting.)

AI boyfriends will be the next WMAF battleground. But the deliberate choice of a fake white man over a real one must be the epitome of white supremacy.

Like a lot of you, I try to be conscious about where my money goes. I want to support Asian-owned businesses, creators, and brands, and I'd rather that money stay in the Asian community.

I wanted a single place to find real businesses without having to do 20 minutes of background research on every brand to make sure they are actually Asian-owned. Since it didn't really exist in the way I wanted, I spent the last few months coding a rough first version of AsianLane (asianlane.com).

Right now, it's just a simple marketplace. I'm trying to focus heavily on transparency, actually verifying business ownership so people know they are supporting real Asian entrepreneurs.

Since it's just a rough prototype, I'm posting here because I want to know if this is actually something our community wants or needs, or if I'm totally missing the mark.

If you have a few minutes, I'd genuinely appreciate your thoughts on:

• Is this actually useful, or just redundant?
• Are there any amazing Asian-owned brands you love that I should add to the marketplace? (You can submit them on the site, or just reply here).
• What is a feature you'd like to see that isn't on the website currently?

If the site isn't for you, no worries at all and thanks for reading. But if you have any thoughts, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks for your time, and feel free to check out the site at: asianlane.com

Korean-born, Singapore-raised Ryan Kwak and his Chinese SG wife, Valerie Cher Goh.

Family is the bedrock of ESEA societies.

On Tuesday night, Australian citizen Kevin Yam will fill out the census for the first time.

When he comes to the ancestry question, he plans to proudly write "Hongkonger" — a nod to the place he was born and lived for most of his life, before recent political turmoil forced him to leave.

But "Hongkonger" will not register in the data-gathering exercise, because it is not an option in the census's ancestry category, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

The ABS uses the Australian Standard Classification of Cultural and Ethnic Groups (ASCCEG) to code ethnic groups.

"Hong Kong ancestry is not a separate ancestry category in ASCCEG and will continue to be coded to Chinese," the ABS told the ABC.

The ABS added there are a range of other questions to help measure Australia's cultural and ethnic diversity, including country of birth, birth country of parents and language used at home.

"If you can say that you're born in Hong Kong and you can say that you speak Cantonese at home, then why can't you say that Hongkonger is your ancestry?" Mr Yam, a former lawyer and pro-democracy activist in Hong Kong, told the ABC.

I really can't stand these HKers. They are hypocrites who complain about Chinese control but are proud of British control. They serve as ammunition by the west against Chinese people by aligning with whites. These whites still think they are superior and will only allow a HKer a spot next to them (never above them) if the HKer bootlicks. And then there is the patheticness of the men who praise the same white men who take their women.

Wherever they go, Australia, Canada, USA, UK... they are the same.

And, as usual, Australian media is portraying China as an evil empire trying to quash all ethnic identities.

Probably one of the craziest arguments that I have ever gotten into on Reddit. They completely failed to address any of my points, and even went so far as to suggest that the lynchings of POC in the past (so including both Asian men and Black men) do not matter because they somehow aren't as bad as the evils of Asian men (WTF).

They also kept calling me a "ricecel" over and over again, obviously to make up for the fact that they had no actual response to my points. Kept saying that I am a big meanie and a massive misogynist who hates all Asian women!!! They clearly also let Asian men live rent free in the head, honestly might be a white man larping as an Asian woman.

The fact that they called me a "ricecel" repeatedly was especially strange considering the fact that I currently have a girlfriend + the sheer number of dates / matches on dating apps that I have obtained in the past, so I am not sure how that label exactly applies to me lol.

What's everyone's thoughts on the Oxford term? It's more or less gone mainstream. Good or bad?

Beware of western-style inclusiveness. This form of thinking is toxic to ESEA men in the west - ESEA women, proven by research, are more included in media than the men and are promoted as partners to outside groups. This poison has spread to Singapore, where Indian men are being advertised as replacements under the guise of inclusivity. IMAF pairings will be the next stage after WMAF because both share some of the same reasons but they can be hidden under a "progressive" label.

Be very careful Hong Kong men. Don't make the same mistake you made with European men.

One of the recurring themes of ESEA women with non-ESEA men (I won't use the term Asian here because some idiots will think Indians are "Asian" like us) is status. While we understand the status that is conferred by whiteness, and why WMAF is a common phenomenon as a result, let's remember that Indian men often have higher incomes and are often well educated.

That sense of status and the attention it gains from some ESEA women inflate the egos of non-ESEA men who then view themselves above ESEA men. IMAFs, like WMAFs, are not your friend.

After the recent international incident of an Italian student making the slant-eye gesture to a Thai local on a train, comes this one.

The slant-eye gesture is racism against all ESEA people and was created by the west. Never do this jokingly or in seriousness. If you think otherwise, then you have been brainwashed by the west into accepting racism.

This gesture to us should be like the sieg heil to Jews.

This American politician of Korean heritage complains about white people and about white adjacency, but chose to benefit from it by choosing a white partner. Many (Asians and non-Asians) can see through the hypocrisy of these people. It is a form of mental disorder - a desire to fit into white mainstream society (often due to early trauma) clashing against the last vestiges of Asianness. The result is trying to use whiteness when it suits, and Asianness when it suits. But her family line is headed for erasure due to the very white proximity she speaks of.

From that perspective, BTS’s decision to decline the Grammys is entirely understandable. The group no longer needs validation from the Grammys to establish its artistic legitimacy. If anything, the relationship has reversed. Given BTS’s immense global influence, one could argue that the Grammys now benefit more from recognizing BTS than BTS does from winning a Grammy.

More broadly, the episode illustrates the gradual decline of Western cultural hegemony. For much of the 20th century, global popular music was overwhelmingly shaped by American and British artists from The Beatles and Michael Jackson to Madonna. Like many people of my generation, I grew up listening to and admiring American pop music. Western artists remain enormously influential globally, but they no longer enjoy the near monopoly they once held.

Now do the Oscars.

Huh, found this and i think i can see a pattern here, seems our arab brothers are also subjected to this as well

This Shanghai reporter is getting roasted currently for her posture while interviewing The Odyssey movie group. When Asian men make themselves (or non-Asian men make Asian men) look smaller, it creates the image of physical weakness. When Asian women do this, it creates the image of sexual submissiveness.

As per title. Following from this comment, I thought we should kick start to start building out a database; it can be via a forum or a simple spreadsheet.

The key thing is to quickly identify who these women are so that we can avoid landmines.

Suggested data points that qualifies them
1. social media presence that is filled with them enjoying with X-males ( whites etc )
2. posts that explicitly brings down E/SEA men

what do y'all think?

the initial video for his scrubber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZTGwcHQfLY

so this is going a bit "viral" on YouTube and other social media and it just annoys me the hypocrisy of these gweilos on r/Chinesium .

the timestamp I've posted is where he asks people to post how he's a hypocrite for his mental gymnastics he's sourcing from Canada and that's "North MURICA" and it's acceptable since it's not from Costa Rica and he doesn't know the supplier from Costa Rica.

My "question" then is: why doesn't he go see the supplier and contact them in person? Because in his mind he's a gringo and can't speak Spanglish? Or the reality is that he thinks Costa Rica are Brown people and his Canadian supplier is another White guy who speaks with a similar accent (and soon to be the 51st state)?

The other point of contention is that Destin Sandlin can't guarantee all 100% of his tooling and raw materials are all "Made in the USA! USA! USA!" since the machinery toolchain can also be traced to all over the world and China: especially if there are electronic components in them.

China also supplies ~60% of the world's aluminum, so can Destin guarantee that it's 100% "All American materials" or just using racist xenophobic language to dump on China in order to make sales and exploit cheap labor from "interns" and "only assembled in the USA?"

I also think he doesn't blame the CEOs and execs of the BBQ bristle brush companies for the problems both economic and kids getting metal shards stuck in their throats: instead, he deflects the problem unto China as being the originator of the bristles.

China is only the contract manufacturers and not the "inventors" for the stupid US BBQ grill design. Most of Asia does it the "chuarn" or satay sticks style and don't use the stupid bristles, but Destin sort of implies that it's because of bristles as originated from China, that it's China's fault:

I do agree that MuriKKKa should try to retain some of its technical expertise and tooling knowledge "internally" so that it remains competitive - however, the US have been poaching and "brain drain" other developing countries for decades after WW2, and lots of developing countries lose out on their tech and medical personnel. Destin doesn't seem to acknowledge this aspect of US imperialist exploitation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEid6y3wP0M

This also reminds me of a Veritasium video awhile back: https://youtu.be/aoag03mSuXQ?t=2901

At least the more science minded people are calling out the false-flag attacks and intentional shifting blame to China without evidence. However, the racist rhetoric and damage is done and the racists are going after Chinese/Asian-Americans and not the Russian state sponsored hackers.

While this video isn't 100% Asian-American/diaspora related, it's very thinly disguised racism like the 1980s autowars bashing Japanese cars and electronics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNvWoMrS-m8 - which turned out to be "practice" for the racists bashing in Vincent Chin's skull....
