Okay now that I have explained the reasoning behind the Asian fetish in my previous post I’d like to take the time now to actually give you guys examples of what the Asian fetish actually looks, and sounds like. To do this I am going to be using examples from the very revealing creepywhiteguys tumblr. For those who don’t know, creepywhiteguys is a tumblr account where Asian women submit any creepy/degrading/racist messages they receive while using okcupid (or was it plenty of fish?) from you guessed it creepy white guys.
Example One:
Creepy white guy: who’s that Asian guy in your profile?
Asian woman: It’s Wang Lee Hom, he’s a huge pop star in Asia, I was so excited to get the chance to meet him!
Creepy white guy: Asian guys are so fucking ugly, white guys just have better bodies and facial features don’t you think?
First of all I should point out that Wang Lee hom has a much more attractive physique than said white guy (lol). This example is typical of the white male with the Asian fetish. As I explained in my previous post, the real attraction such white males have for Asian females is their desire to control and feel powerful. Notice how he derives his self worth by putting down Asian men, while simultaneously trying to pump himself up as the white man to try and (clumsily) ‘steal’ the Asian female from his imagined Asian male foes. Quite pathetic right?
Example 2
Creepy white guy: Why are there so many photos of you with Asian guys? Don’t you know Asian girls prefer white guys?
Again this message is interesting as he is actually trying to convince her that Asian males are somehow inferior, which is weird because by doing so he has unwittingly put himself in a lower position coming into the interaction. This lend credence to my idea that all of these white guy Asian fetishists are extremely mentally weak and insecure. This is what insecure, racist white men do whenever they feel threatened by non-white males and try to re-establish their masculinity, and dominance by using their white privilege and white manufactured racial stereotypes to try and intimidate non-white females into becoming subordinates and accepting their white supremacist point of view. To translate what he said in another way would be like him saying, “Don’t you know? You aren’t supposed to be with Asian guys. You belong to us white guys! You’re ours!” It’s quite sick when you think about it. This is actually a fairly common occurrence in Western society nowadays. So many insecure white guys, it makes you wonder why.
Example 3
Creepy white guy: Don’t be scared of me I’m just a big American man who will love and protect you 😉
This is another variation where the white guy plays into tired old stereotypes usually spread through pop culture of the white savior saving the colored woman and having her for himself (miss saigon, the last samurai, karate kid etc etc). Especially notice the ‘big strong American man’ part (embarassing! LOL). We’ve seen this over and over again in television in movies. It shows how emotionally stunted this white guy is to internalize media imagery to such an extent that he would try to play these fantasies out on a dating site. Quite sad no?
Example 4
This last example is very important as it shows many different features of the Asian fetish all in one example so I will actually take this example and devote an entire post to it which will be up in the next day or two. So don’t forget to join me for next time when I conclude the Asian fetish series!
