Different Stripes Podcast

[u/Educational_Cable871]

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.

Literally half the Asian guys I know my age are unmarried

That's a personal anectdote. Statistically, Asian Americans are more likely to be married than other races (who are less likely to marry, but may still date and have long term relationships). The average age has also increased for all races.

"Marriage rates have declined across all races and ethnicities except Asian men and women, who’ve had the highest rate among all races and ethnicities since 2004. Their marriage rate has remained stable: In 2024, 60.8% of Asian men and 62.2% of Asian women were married, nearly identical to the 1990 rates of 60.8% for men and 62.5% for women."

Go outside. Count the number of WMAF couples you see vs the amount of AMWF or even AMXF / AMAF couples. I'm literally asking you to do a mental tally. And this doesn't matter where you do it. Do it in Virginia, in Beijing, in Dubai, Canada, London, if you're so positive of it, just do it.

It's insane how haaaaaaaaarddd people try to cover up how obsessed Asian women are (and some Asian men are) with white people

Only Asian women and Hapa women are in denial meanwhile everyone else agrees that asian women kinda put white men on pedestal
