Colored people’s coping mechanisms

We live in a White dominated society. This fact is made most apparent when one looks out into the world and finds that all over the globe, ‘whiteness’ is  the one thing that all other people have to measure themselves by. Does a white person ever have to try extra hard at school to prove they aren’t a worthless thug? Do white men have to dominate the sports field, or have legions of girls chasing after them before wider society will acknowledge their masculinity? The answer to both questions is of course no. This is because white people, through a legacy of imperialism and violence, have managed to institute a system by which only whites are given the gift of their individuality and are therefore free to chase after and obtain their dreams and fulfill their desires without being encumbered by things such as racial stereotypes or structural inequalities.

For a colored person to live in such a society is truly an unfortunate thing indeed. In order to survive in such a world – while still maintaining their sanity – minorities have developed a wide variety of coping mechanisms in order to be able to bare the worst this world has to offer. In this post I intend to detail some of those mechanisms, both the good ones and the bad, in order to try and steer to try and steer them away from the more self destructive coping strategies and move towards living a more productive, happier life.

The first way in which a colored person may try to cope with the reality of the society in which we live in is to become a self hater. A self hater is a person who has Internalized all of the racist messages the outside world has beaten into them. These people hate what they see when they look in the mirror. In essence, the self hater views their skin color or ethnicity as a curse and would do anything to turn themselves white if they could.

Ironically, the self hater has no sense of self. As such, their idea of self worth is determined by how white people view them. It is common to see the self hater treat other colored people poorly, while simultaneously sucking up to every white person they come across no matter who they are. It comes to no surprise then that the self hater is obsessed with getting into a relationship with a white person, as it represents the ultimate form of acceptance by white and therefore mainstream society in their eyes.

Another interesting variant of the self hater is the man or woman who does everything in his or her power to deceive themselves into believing racism either doesn’t exist or isn’t as bad as it used to be. This mechanism is once again partly due to the facT they are desperate to be liked by whites and are therefore fearful of defying their masters and risk getting on their bad side. The other reason they may take up this coping strategy is because for them it is easier to believe society is fine than it is to wake up in a world in which you are unfairly put at a disadvantage just by the color of your skin. As they say, ignorance is bliss.

In extreme cases the self hater will somehow blame themselves for being put at a disadvantage instead of turning their attention on the people who unfairly benefit from their unearned privileges. At this point they have surrendered their soul and may never recover on their own.

The second way a colored person may cope with the reality of the racist society we live in is to adopt the mindset of a warrior. A person with a warrior mindset is one who calls out racism when they see it. They aren’t afraid of upsetting their white peers, because they have the self esteem and self respect necessary to understand that one’s dignity is far more important than trying to shamelessly gain favor with people who will never value or respect you anyway.

Those with the warrior mindset also have the drive and ambition to excel and not settle for playing second fiddle to white people who expect to be put on a pedestal just because they are white. The strong colored person aims to beat them at their own game, and then use what they have to help other colored people achieve their dreams in a game that is stacked against them.

Unlike the self hater, the warrior increases in confidence everytime he or she confronts racism head on. By doing so, the warrior does not feel helpless like the self hater and strives to take control of their life and identity and does not let other people dictate who they are or how they should act. Those that adopt this mindset don’t have time to wallow in self pity, because they are too busy planning and working towards achieving their goals. While they know they are at an unfair disadvantage, they use the racism that surrounds them as motivation to beat those who feel entitled to everything in life just because they are white and see colored men and women as lesser people. In the end, at their core, such people hope to institute meaningul change in the world in their own little way so that their children wont have to put up with the kind of things they currently have to live through.

I strongly urge all colored people out there, Asian, black, latino or arab, to choose the second way. Reject the messages and pressure that society tries to put on you, and PLEASE live your life with strength and honor.

Racial Dynamics: the Asian fetish explained [conclusion]

To conclude this series, I would now like to examine one more submission from creepywhiteguys.tumblr.com. This example pretty much includes all the points I have written before condensed into one entry. This entry is too long for me to copy and paste here so please visit this link and read the submission before continuing on to my commentary:

http://creepywhiteguys.tumblr.com/post/42417311454/a-3-part-fan-submission-part-1-our-hero-tries

Read it? Good, now let’s begin..

In the first message the creepy white guy (CWG for short) is pretty much a text book example of how some white men like to use white manufactured ethnic stereotypes to demonize non-white males to place themselves at the top of the white imposed racial hierarchy. What is important about the first message is how the CWG pretends to be the good guy while doing so, (idiotically) trying to play the role of the so called ‘white knight’ who will supposedly save her from the ‘evil, controlling, domineering Asian men’. All non-white women need to be very wary of these types of guys, as often or not they will be the most dangerous types of men they will ever encounter, something you can clearly see if you read the CWG’s last to the Asian female.

In the second message it is clear that the Asian female is a strong woman with self respect, who does not take kindly to men (white males in this case) who try to use racism and sexism to control and manipulate her. As such she repudiates him and rejects his blatant racism.

The third message is the most important one as it is very revealing about how these sorts of CWG’s think and operate. When rejected these racist white male-Asian fetishists will always retaliate with racial slurs against the same women they supposedly ‘love’ and ‘respect’. In this case the white male replies, ‘go get raped you dumb ch1nk whore’. This shows that such non-Asian males who have Asian fetishes have never and will never respect Asian females or minorities as human beings and only see them as things to be used and exploited.

Yes they may proclaim to ‘love your culture’ or ‘love your people’, but that’s all just a rouse to try and get into bed with you. You can bet a million bucks that deep down, they have nothing but pure hatred and contempt for everyone who isn’t a white male. However I should point our that there are also many black, latino or basically non-Asian men who also feel the same way and are racist Asian fetishists as described above.

It is clear that the CWG is livid at the fact that the Asian female rejected HIM, the white male, and that in his world all non-white people should bow down to him just because of his whiteness. According to his worldview non-white (in this case Asian) females should spread their legs whenever he desires while the non-white males should cower in his presence and never challenge his masculinity. By her rejecting him while criticizing his condescending, racist behavior his masculinity and identity as a white male has now been threatened. This being the case he then inevitably lashes out at the Asian female to try to maintain his sense of racial power and supremacy by telling her to ‘get raped’. In fact him telling her to get raped is a clear indication of why he has the Asian fetish to begin with which is his overwhelming  desire to control and feel powerful.

In conclusion, if you haven’t already guessed it, I really do consider Asian fetishists to be some of the most disgusting scumbags that walk the Earth. The fact that the ‘Asian fetish’ and over-sexualization and dehumanization of Asian women is so wide spread in Western society shows how debased this culture is and how hundreds of years of imperialism has created a legacy of racism that is still felt today, regardless of what some white people say (‘oh we live in a post racial society guys, stop being reverse racists’ -rolls eyes). In future posts I will discuss how we can rid the world of this disease, but for now I hope you have learnt to identify these sorts of men the next time you come across them.

Racial Dynamics: The Asian Fetish explained part 2 (with examples!)

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!

Racial Dynamics: The Asian fetish explained

As I  said in my previous post, this blog is intended to educate people about the racial dynamics that exist today and how they relate to Asian people. I feel that the best way to do this is to first analyze the phenomena of the ‘Asian fetish’ as this particular subject encompasses all of the main issues that effect Asian people today.

The Asian male as vanquished foe, the Asian female, loot to be plundered

At the root of all racial fetishes lies one overarching, underlying motive: the desire feel powerful. This sort of racial (in this case Asian) fetishism traces it’s roots back to the centuries of Western imperialism that plagued (and still plagues) many parts of the world. The Western (white) powers, would invade non-white nations, steal their resources, kill their men, and ‘have’ their way with the women.

In this sense it can be said that the phenomena of the Asian fetish is the modern incarnation of the same thought processes western imperialists used as motivation when they partook in the wide-scale slaughter and oppression of colored peoples all over the world.

Through these barbaric acts many whites unwittingly conditioned themselves and their offspring for generations to come to subconsciously view colored people and Asian people in particular as subhuman, inferior, or as objects to be used for their amusement. Within the context of the Asian fetish, Asian women are used as sex toys to be controlled and sexually dominated in the same way black slaves were subject to the wishes of their white masters. Asian males on the other hand are seen as tools which white males use to feel powerful and virile through the creation and propagation of racial stereotypes designed to emasculate and humiliate their targets. By insulting Asian males while being in sexual relationships with Asian females the fetishist simultaneously fulfills his deviant sexual desires and power fantasies at the same time.

This is why so many non-Asian males, take a certain glee in insulting Asian males. In their weak, highly insecure,  underdeveloped minds it is the only way they can feel any sense of masculinity or power. In the old days of they could literally kill or rape to fulfill their desires to control and feel superior or more manly. Nowadays they have to settle for this type of treatment.

Again it must be stressed, in all such racial fetishes the targets of the fetishism only exists to serve the egos, imaginations and desires of those who hold the most power in society. Think about every time a non-Asian male points at an Asian female and call her a ‘hot Asian’. Just think about those words, ‘hot Asian’. In their imaginations the Asian female doesn’t have a name, doesn’t have an identity, doesn’t have a soul. In the minds of such males she is just a ‘hot Asian’, a blow up doll that is used to relieve one’s sexual desires and then discarded when they outlive their usefulness. This is by far the sickest, most repugnant form of dehumanization that could ever take place, and yet it is so common to see and hear this sort of thing in the Western world.

Another reason why the Asian fetish is so common in today’s society is because of the fact that many non-Asian (usually white) males sub-consciously know the extent to which Asian people have been psychologically beaten down through western generated pop culture and the propagation of negative racial stereotypes and the power they have just by virtue of being white (white privilege). In this case non-Asian males who may normally be too insecure to approach attractive women of other races, will instead feel no ounce of fear at all when approaching an Asian female who should for all intents and purposes, be out of their league. This is why many such males feel a sense of entitlement to Asian females and that they should be ‘grateful’ for the honor of their attention no matter how crude or degrading, simply because they operate under the racial hierarchy imposed by Western society in which Asian people are placed at the bottom and should therefore know their place as dogs begging for scraps at the master’s table.

The worst part however is how many times this ‘Asian fetish’ is spread in part due to certain segments of Asian females. Conditioned to feel inferior from early childhood through media imagery, some Asian women willingly take their place as subordinates or slaves within the imposed racial hierarchy. Some Asian females even choose to play up to the disgusting racial stereotypes assigned to them in order gain some sort of acceptance in a white dominated society.

In conclusion when looking through the lens of the Asian fetish, it is very clear that Asian people are placed at an extreme disadvantage and that we must work together to unburden ourselves of the bonds placed on us by Western society to regain our identities and our self respect as a people.

(in my next post I will go further into this Asian fetish phenomena and illustrate the ways in which it may manifest itself in every day life using examples from one of my favorite tumblrs, creepywhiteguys.)
