I have seen these tropes again and again over the years. Many of these are continued by people that believe everyone should stick to their own race and not intermix. There seems to be a lot of hate in that reddit. Well that is reddit generally.I am not a fan of a lot of anecdotal evidence, but I will offer some of my own. Felicity posted a great article with a scientific approach.First, I don't judge anyone on what they find sexually attractive. People want what they want. What turns on one person may not work for me and vice versa.These are a few of my observations:What some people frequently overlook is there are some cultural influences that push some Asian women to date outside of their own cultures that are not race based. I will point out a few that are specific to Indonesia and other Asian cultures in general.Indonesian culture is not gender neutral. The women that are more likely to want to be seen equally will seek out men from different cultural backgrounds that put a greater value on that. I have met many women over the years that have expressed that interest. (maybe Dan's wife is oneAsian cultures value virginity in general and Indonesia is obsessed with it. There seems to be a double standard with the genders that it is more reserved that a woman is "bad" for desiring sex. This has fallen out of favor with many western attitudes. Because of the gender standards this will push more sexually active women towards western partners. This includes women that are divorced or may have a child from another father.Also the age at first marriage from cultures plays a role. The age of first marriage is far lower in Asian countries specifically Indonesia. Women past a certain age are considered unwanted or that something was wrong with them. They are considered undesirable life partners, while the age of first marriage is far higher in developed countries and also of little cultural concern.Also, do not forget the economic interests. While it may not be a significant factor in sexual attraction, marriage is usually a choice. I read a study that ranked men and women on a scale from 1 to 5 based on income and education. The study was that men tended to marry from a economic class equal or below their own and women tended to marry from an economic class equal or above their own. From study, the most likely people to have difficulty finding a life partner were the category #1 women (high education and income) and the #5 men (low education and income).From a purely personal observation with no scientific information, in the economic aspect, Western-Asian men don't tend to have difficulty finding marriage partners except by their view of the role of women.So as the flip side, I tend not to see only the male as the less desirable one for western standards trope, but the female less desirable for Asian standards as women that are stronger willed, sexually independent, more educated, mid 20's and beyond, and more upwardly mobile will seek western (many times white) partners.(E) This is a problem with all mixed race children. Asian features are very genetically dominant (darker skin, eyes, hair). Many physical traits become recessive the more northern the genetics go. There is simply a higher probability the children will have more Asian features. Every mixed race child has to deal with these issues on appearance. Regardless of Asian, Central American, or African.The blog is a small snippit into a single woman's life with a racist parent. Very little to go on.
