In Natalie’s video, interviewee JT Tran said it straight up: that Asian guys are most likely to hear “no Asians” from Asian women. Many other prominent figures such as Jeremy Lin have spoken of their experiences. From my own personal experiences, by far the harshest rejections I have received in public spaces and nightclubs have been from Asian women who are outright vocal about the fact that they “don’t hang with Asian men.” An obvious pattern can be gathered from Twitter screenshots shared by Heather Johnson Yu:

(A key takeaway is that the vast majority of folks tweeting such statements are Asian American women)

What provokes such a response from such a large group of women? It’s because we all remind them of their “Asian-ness.” So is self-improvement alone adequate to attract these women? No. They hate you because you are a reminder that they themselves are “other” and will attempt to distance themselves from you however they can. The recent tone-deaf dumpster fire of a show Chinese Burn even invented a new word for this disdain: “DAGS: desperate Asian guys. Overly groomed Asian men who seem to follow us everywhere.”

Some of the grossest, most unbelievable, in-your-face racism we encounter has come from western Asian women. I hate to use the term “misandry” because it has been tainted by the manosphere misogynists, but it is what it is — a large group of women truly, definitively engaging in racist misandry to climb the social ladder.

This is not “theory” or “conjecture,” these are facts that countless outspoken Asian women continuously deny or ignore. JT Tran touches on this, both in Natalie’s video and his article, but he does so lightly. We need to be more direct: You’ve betrayed us for white acceptance. You lambast Asian male patriarchy and yet you jump towards white male patriarchy and use gendered racism against Asian men… under the guise of Asian female empowerment. This is the answer to Natalie’s million dollar question.

You have internalized racist stereotypes about us en masse (again, you don’t care about the individuals) and you refuse to acknowledge this fact.

Then women like Natalie Tran have the gall to ask the men “what can I do?” What the actual fuck? Why are you asking us Asian men what to do about your own fucked up behaviors and habits as Asian women? Should we tell you to “Chase white guys less?” That’s not our responsibility. Our only responsibility is to call you out. Anything more than that? That’s actually robbing you of agency. You decide, and your actions will speak for themselves, like they have been doing thus far. Don’t pretend to be egalitarian, because once we’ve brought it to your attention, you can no longer plead ignorance. Please, shut the fuck up about feminism if your feminism only consists of the right to social climb through whiteness and through shitting on Asian guys in the process.

And the one thing you’re not allowed to do? Make us men accept responsibility for your racism. No amount of blame shifting will make this acceptable. Not now, not ever.

Lets call it what it is: White supremacy and white supremacy being supported by Asian women. For too long we’ve been shut down by fake Asian feminists policing our tone, saying we express things too aggressively; this does not take away from the facts: that they themselves are a major contributor to that aggression. We are presenting facts, they are throwing allegations. That is the difference. That is why Asian men are utterly frustrated, and that is why we will no longer tolerate these lies and attempts at misdirection.
