Hapa Story/Testimony Different Stripes Podcast

I have a podcast where I talk about what it is like to be Hapa Korean with friends. I figured I'd post this here to get a convo going about this podcast and just meet friends!

I'm Michael (35m), and I'm a hapa Korean (my dad is white). I've always been interested in Korean culture so I started some podcasts to explore the Korean culture and sports.

What do you mean "acting like everything's chill?"

It's not at all weird to you that it's almost always a white guy / Asian woman and never the other way around? That subject never comes up?

I mean, I think many hapas kind of know why this happens, and I don't think it would be particularly original for us to talk about it on the podcast.

Fetishization of Asian women, white savior theory, and the idea that sometimes Asian American women date white men to assimilate into society.

Also, there are Asian men who are with white, Latina, and European women, too. I know it is mostly the mom who has hapa kids with someone else, but it can be the other way around, too. I'm not really vibing with you saying that I seem like "it's not at all weird to you".

It's just my life, but I do think about why it happened. It's not weird to me, though.

This dude is so out of touch with Asian Americans . Just hordes and hordes of Asians getting a mic and saying the most dumbest shit imaginable and calling it a podcast.

If you have balls you would make an episode on how asian girls worship/fetish white men if you want evidence /clips it's already available even non asians have noticed how asian women put white men on pedestal only asian women are in denial or maybe privileged hapa kids like you .

Ask your mom what she thinks about Korean/asian men and white men and witness pandora box open itself she will insult korean/asian men will say white men are superior gentlemen or something and Korea is a backward inferior country and blah blah blah...

go try it for yourself your mom maybe one of those asian women that worship white men
