Children hating their parents isn’t uncommon. Hating your parents because they’re too strict, too stodgy, too stifling — been there, felt that, like every other rebellious teen has.

How about hating your parents for their races?

That’s a whole different level of resentment, and seems to be the driving force behind the blog Stuff Eurasian Males Like. The blogger left an interesting comment on my Ending Bias post, claiming there’s nothing worse than being the Asian-looking male child of a white male/Asian female pairing. He can’t be serious, I thought, so I followed the link to his blog… and realized how much he does loathe himself and the source of his existence — his white dad and Asian mom. He loathes couplings like theirs which produce male Eurasian children.

His arguments are fascinating, and if you’re really curious, please visit his blog. At first I was ready to thrash his views, but you know what? I won’t diss him because I don’t understand (although perhaps he needs help — someone to really talk to — more than empathy…?). A lot of his problems seem to stem from being an Asian male in America, and I don’t understand what it’s like as an Asian male in America, which seems to be a hot issue recently, perhaps because of that Wesley Yang article in New York Magazine. All I will give you are some quotes from his blog posts which really hit me:

Quote 1:

The hapa male son of a WM/AF is the lowest being existence, the lowliest worm in the universe. They are a whole new level of suck. What are they made of? Genetic trash. A white male who has failed to be a white male and thus acquire a white female. And an Asian woman who thinks Asians are a disgusting race, and is glad to marry out of it, not realizing she carries it in her ovaries. Cursed with a white male sucky Y chromosome, but doomed to inhabit the world as an Asian man. Just abort your hapa sons.

Quote 2:

Was my mom clinically insane to marry a white man or was she just incredibly callous and selfish? Perhaps she planned on having cute Eurasian daughters who could easily mate with white dudes. Well she badly miscalculated. Instead shes stuck with Asian-looking sons. And yet she dissed all Asian males by her actions. She emasculated me at my birth.

Quote 3:

I used to blame the white guys for having yellow fever and stuff. But according to science, its the asian females who deserve the blame, since males of all races try to mate with all races. Its the females who in every single race but east asian, chose their own over others. I have nothing against interracial marriages in the abstract. I just think that in the specific circumstances of American culture, asian females who mate with whites, hurt all asian men. Now maybe its ok for them to put individual interest over race. But the thing is their Eurasian male sons, like me, have to suffer the consequences. So its not some abstract racial myth, but their own offspring. Maybe their right and eurasian couples should just abort the males like me. How dare my mom or dad ever lecture me on anything, when they have no idea what its like to be an Asian male in America. They don’t have my experience so what right to they have to advise? I feel like an African born to a white slave owner or a Jew born to a Roman conquerer. My very birth marks my own defeat.

I do feel more than a little unnerved though. I am an Asian female involved with a white male, and some day, I’d like to have children. All my hapa friends, both male and female including those with white dads and Asian moms, seem happy and well-adjusted and appear to have embraced their biracial, bicultural identities. But what if they’re lying, and deep down they hate themselves and their parents too?!

Though being afraid that your children will hate you for your life choices is probably not the best reason not to have children. My children will probably find something or other to hate me for eventually, whether they are biracial or not, true?

P.S. I do wonder whether this Stuff Eurasian Males Like blog is meant to be a satire. Tell me if it is.
