Have you seen this article?  It’s called The New Trophy Wives: Asian Women, published in Marie Claire magazine by none other than an Asian writer, Ying Chu.  It has outraged lots of defensive Asian women because the author proclaims that many white men have a fetish for Asian women, and that Asian women are trying to marry up.  Wow.  I’m stunned she said that, but I do find it quite entertaining just because it is generating so much readership.  It probably has more comments than any article on their website…ever.

A friend of mine, who happens to be Asian American, posted this on Facebook and it spawned even more comments!  She loathed being the object of a fetish, and thought it was creepy. I know that this is a form of racism, but I find it a bit petty because some Asian women benefit from it, and even play along with it.  Sure this fetish probably attracts some really clueless morons, but I’m sure there are a few nice white guys who have always had a bit of curiosity towards Asian women and culture.   Maybe he got it from watching Karate Kid II. Anyways, boy meets girl due to fetish, boy and girl actually fall in love, and they happily live every after.  Even if the guy’s original intentions were a bit shady, maybe in the end he matures and sees princess from the East for who she is, no?  I know TONS of white guys who have married Japanese wives.  Why? Why go through all the trouble of going to Japan, learning a very difficult language, and hooking up with an Asian girl?  Why not just marry Mary Anne from the back hills?  Because some people just like something different.  Most people may love their iPods, but there are a few renegades who love their Zunes.

So, I read an article saying that Laura Ling, one of the reporters who was imprisoned in North Korea, is going to write a book!  Great!  Way to take advantage of all the hype.

It seems that Ling and Euna think this is some sort of triumphant return, when in fact they should be embarrassed for causing all this trouble due to their stupid actions.

One thing I haven’t heard is a formal apology from the two reporters.  Don’t you think that would be appropriate?  I think so.  Why the hell were they in North Korea in the first place?  All the reports I have read do not seem to clarify this, other than that they were reporting.   But, they must’ve been aware that being in N. Korea is dangerous, no?  I’ve always had a bit of a disdain for reporters I must admit.  It’s a very heroic image to be in a dangerous place, reporting while bombs are blowing up around you.  Television romanticizes it all the time.  But, personally I think it’s silly to be risking your life for a silly story.

I’ve heard this so many times from so many people- from both Asians and Whites. It’s quite common for white people to underestimate the age of Asians. Asians have less wrinkles and generally maintain their youthfulness better than white people. This probably has to do with genes as well as diet, exposure to sun, and lifestyle. White people generally think I look mid 20’s but I’m much older than that. I’ve met many white girls who already have wrinkles by the time they are 23. I think one reason is that white girls love to lay out in the sun and we all know sun ages you dramatically over time. Asian girls generally put more make-up to possibly cover up their skin blemishes, wrinkles, and age marks. Asians generally stay thinner than their white counterparts. And Asians have smaller body frames, not as wide hips or thighs, and are not as big-boned. These are all generalizations of course and there are many exceptions. Sun is the biggest enemy for the skin. Granted, the white girls look hot when they’re young, tanned, and fit. But once they reach upper 20’s, it’s game over fellas. Thighs double in size, their arms turn into guns, and their ass? Forget about it. One always look younger if they’re less fat or just more thin. While Asians’ skin maintains its smoothness and color, white people’s skin gets a bit leathery and coarse. I don’t mean to offend anyone…I’m just saying.
