Western media fuels self-hating Asian phenomenon


Excerpt from the following post:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0415234/board/thread/104987920

"How come in Hollywood flicks we see mostly see Black-Black couples, or Latin-Latin couples, but Asian women are always paired with a White guy? It seems like most TV shows and movies in the past ten years exclusively pair an Asian girl with a White (or Black) guy romatically. Asian men are being completely suppressed and excluded in television and film.

It blows my mind that no Asian actresses are willing to object to the scripts, or fight against these negative stereotypes. They don't understand the power of TV/film to mold the way people think. Way too many AA writers and creators these days have self hate or White worship.

These shows affect kids. Teens, especially girls, judge themselves on others' opinions, and are easily influenced. Young, insecure Asian girls are conditioned through social norms/media to 'act White' and want only White men (self hate), and young Asian American boys growing up in the US are conditioned to think they are unattractive. Some Asian youth resolve identity conflict by developing self-hate and bashing their heritage, family, and people (ex 'I won't date Asians', or criticizing other Asians).

Whether it be fashion magazines, gossip mags, TV, movies, or our friends, all of us are influenced and emulate in some way what we see on screen. Entertainment can be as influential as advertising. So many shows and movies in America demean Asian men, while perpetuating an 'Asian Girl Fetish' in this country. It is Hollywood Colonialism."

Excerpt from Steve Penner's “The Truth About Dating” article:
http://www.seacoastonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070511/OPIN ION04/70511017/-1/OPINION05

"Of all the races, African-American women were the most insistent about wanting to meet only African-American men. But most of those women excluded black men who had recently moved to New England from Africa or the Caribbean.

The one major exception to the finding that women wanted to meet men of their own race was Asian women, a vast majority of whom stated that they strongly preferred meeting non-Asian men.

The primary explanation offered by most Asian women was that they wanted to be matched with tall men, and they insisted that practically all of the Asian men they knew were short. But when I would ask if they would be willing to meet an Asian man if he were tall, most would simply shake their head and say they would rather not."

Self-hating issues related to asian people seem almost acceptable and regarded as casual conversation topics:

Asian-American media figures do very little to combat the racist portrayal of Asian people and in Lucy Liu's case, have no problem perpetuating the negative effects of mass media brainwashing:

"Bones": 10/1/2008 - "The Crank in the Shaft". Spoilered in case any one has yet to watch:

After arresting an Asian guy, who they suspect of having been having sex with his white (dead) supervisor, it turns out that the boss had caught him and his (white) girlfriend in flagrante in the copy room and been inadvertently killed by the girl. The Asian guy bravely tries keep his girl out of the frame, but it is proved that he was innocent.

No tears please, it's a waste of good suffering.

Last month I read a research study in either Chicago Tribune or Chicago Sun Times where in 2046 there will no longer be more ethnic groups that are Hispanic, African American, or any other ethnic group you can think of because they are growing and do you know who is going to be the ethnic minority at that time?

It will be the caucason race because we are not doing things like what other ethnic groups are doing. I just thought that I would make that statement even though I am half Spanish from Spain and half American due to my father being American and my mom is from Spain.

how is it white worship for a white man to be with an asian woman?

it hurts white women to see white men with asian women

reply

I do not have any problem if a white man wants to date a asian woman because we are all created equal and if that is what the two people who love one another wants then that will happen.

The white women need to realize that there are other men out there for them to date in the world you know.

They didn't start it, USA started it. they did it by sending white people by the milliions into illegally immigrating into califronia/texas-mexico. Trying to change the racial demographic of the place, before stealing it. bit like what the white guys from britain did with australia, and south africa. Now times have reversed and look at how racist american media behaves towards immigrants.

It worked because the white people in california and texas rebelled against the mexicans and declared themselves US citizens. Mexico invaded its own territory, to qwell the rebellion. USA attacked mexico saying we are defending americans, and the mexians lost the war.

So no mexico did not start the war, adn don't believe all the crap they teach you in school or in the american media.

reply

No, Mexico asked people in the U.S to move into their land, you should learn a little more history.

The thing i hate about these pairings is that the white guy is always a slut, a loser in the films, whose been with a 1000 women. Whilst the asian girl is shown as pure, virginal in a sense. And she falls in love at first sight with the hero white guy. Its stupid, at least give them similar moral status. Make the asian girl a slut whose slept with a 1000 men also (but then the white man no longer wants her i guess), or make the white guy of a high moral standard not a typical college jock slut loser moron dude.

*********************

It is mental colonialism, they do it so that they can control other nations. By burying their cultural identity and language, and replacing it with a white one, they destroy other societies by turning them into poor imitations of the west. Who then chase a white lifestyle, white democracy, white freespeech, white free trade and so on. Basically whatever the western media says they believe it as being morally right.

Non-white Wannabe white people will never stand up to the west, the west is always right and beautiful in everything they do in their eyes. So the west walks over these nations economocially, politically, militarily, ideologically quite easily.

This is why france has a ban on american films, tv shows, and other media products. French tv and media outlets are only allowed to show limited number of shows from foreign nations. And it is working, their cultural identity and language is protected from being supplanted.

Once you steal someones language you steal from them their heritage and can replace it with your own.

This is why the west first thing they did when they beat turkey in ww1 was to replace the arabic alphabet with an english one. Now look at what is going on in turkey, the people are so white in their behaviour you'd think you were living in the west. Same thing in hong kong, they tried so hard to replace the language with english, and with it they changed the identity of these people. A hong kong chinese does not see himself as being the same as a mainland chinese. They think of themselves as being different people, even if they are the same in every other way, education, looks, wealth, etc. They are not chinese they are "HONG KONG" chinese, and the mainland chinese are not chinese they are "MAIN LAND" chinese.

It is also easier to manipulate girls than boys. Men by their nature are rebellious and do not like external things manipulating them. Men also by nature are looked upto by both sexes, whilst women are not really looked upto by either sex. So hence why you see the gender disparity, it is always white man and asian women, and not asian man and white woman. because the reverse wouldn't work in brainwashing nations. It would end up turning people into liking asian culture, asian men, asian language more.

Hence why you'll see white people who like asian culture usually do so because they are fans of bruce lee or jackie chan, or jet li etc. These people have been affected in reverse, asian culture has infused into them, because of an asian male hero in movies.

If you notice, a lot of movies such as Zohan makes whites as the bad guys. We also see white women with black men but rarely white men with black women. In the One Jet Li's character is married to a white woman. She is killed and at the end he finds another one. A lot of TV shows have white men as neanderthals being saved by their wives. Whites are portrayed as racist in many shows and movies when in fact most racists are black. There are more black hate groups that preach killing whites on the streets (check out Youtube). You will not see a white guy on the street preaching killing blacks. It's just the way the movies and TV are. I understand your frustration but most people will just ignore the situation. Just remember that it is jealousy. I have seen plenty of Asian men with white women in the malls and stores.

Funny how aurelia4 has conveniently chosen not to respond to the comment by jamiepeterson.

Funny how aurelia4 conveniently chooses never to mention that marriages do occur between Caucasian women and Asian men, such as Trey Ferley (Philipines) and Katy Hill (UK) and more.

I think aurelia4 is in some sort of denial or is very bitter over a relationship break-up or has zero self-esteem. There is so much hatred in the posts of aurelia4 there has to be more to it than just an opinion.
