In 2007 economist Ray Fisman, in a two-year study he co-authored on dating preferences among Columbia University students, did not find evidence of a general preference among white men for Asian women. Furthermore, the study found that there is a significantly higher pairing of white men with East Asian women simply because East Asian women discriminate racially against black and hispanic men. As quoted on Slate.com, and also reported in the Washington Post [1] and The Review of Economic Studies [2] (a publication of the London School of Economics and Political Science [3] ):[14]

“ We found no evidence of the stereotype of a white male preference for East Asian women. However, we also found that East Asian women did not discriminate against white men (only against black and Hispanic men). As a result, the white man-Asian woman pairing was the most common form of interracial dating—but because of the women’s neutrality, not the men’s pronounced preference. Men don’t seem to discriminate based on race when it comes to dating. A woman’s race had no effect on the men’s choices. ”

The study was carried out over two years and was conducted by economists Ray Fisman (lead researcher from Columbia University) and Emir Kamenica (University of Chicago), as well as psychologists Sheena Iyengar (Columbia University) and Itamar Simonson (Stanford). They took data from “thousands of decisions made by more than 400 daters from Columbia University’s various graduate and professional schools.” [15]

The WHIGGIE (White Guy Groupie)

A brief profile of Asian girls afflicted with “White Fever”

ORIGINS: A subset of women of Asian ethnicity, usually found residing in major U.S. cities, although they have been known to appear overseas occasionally. Closely related to their cousins, Yellow Cabs (Japan), Gwei-Po’s (Hong Kong), Sarong Party girls (Singapore), Twinkies and Bananas.

NOT TO BE CONUSED WITH: Intelligent, emotionally-secure women who are free of identity problems, self-hate, racial prejudice and chips on their shoulders.

CHARACTER TRAITS
- Poorly developed self-identity. Pathetically insecure with themselves and their ethnicity.
- Resentment of father’s traditional, authoritarian upbringing (whether real or perceived).
- Brainwashed into believing that they, as AF’s, are more desirable than other women in exotic lotus blossom kinda way. Willingness to pander to western media sexual stereotypes of AF’s, which they perceive as marketing advantage.
- Thoroughly whitewashed. Desperate need to fit into “mainstream” (i.e. white) society and to distance themselves from their Asian heritage. Racial inferiority complex.
- Feigned air of superiority when dealing with members of own race and any other minority groups. In need of major attitude adjustments.
- Exaggerated, whiny, Encino-esque valley girl accent.
- Delusions of grandeur… “I want it all…and that begins with the right (i.e. white) guy…” Asian-American princess complex.
- Uncanny ability of determine one’s nationality, occupation, earning capacity and make of auto within three minutes of commencing a conversation.
- Exaggerated perception of white males’ value in increasing AF’s social status.
- Ignorant and narrow-minded, eager to adopt and perpetuate fallacious western media stereotypes of Asian men.
- A compulsion to trash Asians, particularly Asian men, in order to justify their autoracist tendencies, placate their guilt and bolster their self-esteem.
- Extremely shallow, self-centered, argumentative and boring.
- Disdains ethnic studies; regards it as a major threat to her carefully constructed, self-deceptive whiggie identity.
- Despises all Asian men, with the occasional exception of their brothers (after all, they share the same genes.
- Believes that racism does not exist because she, as an AF, has never experienced it first hand, or is too dense to realize it. Besides, those Asiaphiles are so nice to her (while plotting to get into her pants.
- Gets a warm fuzzy feeling when watching The Joy Luck Club, while snuggled up to her geeky Asiaphile boyfriend.
- Believes that the only reason an Asian person would disrespect her is because they are racist.
- Has lost count of how many WM’s she’s done this month.
- The wet-dream come true for socially-handicapped Caucasian nerds who are unable to attract Caucasian women.
- Threatened and insecure in the presence of any culturally-perceptive Asian person or any AM not fitting her stereotype of the quiet , marginalized, “model minority” geek.
- Fundamentally insecure, utterly confused, lacking in self respect.
- Many aging whiggies, after being used and abandoned by WM’s in favor of younger, more nubile whiggies and being rejected by AM’s who see through their transparency, develop a bitterness towards all men, period.
- Denial of all of the above.
FACIAL EXPRESSIONS: a) Look of contempt when eyes meet those of any non-white male, converting to beaming grin upon sighting of WM victim/target; b) terminal pout or c) bimboish expression that defies deep thought.
TYPICAL ATTIRE: Anything trendy, mainstream-looking and seductive (especially if it’s black and tight). Big hair (perhaps their most valuable asset) tossed with hand every 15 seconds. Wonderbra. Fanatical whiggies have been known to undergo certain procedures such as eyelid surgery, breast augmentation and vaginal tightening operations in order to increase their marketability to WM’s. Blue contact lenses and bleached blonde hair have even been sported on occasion. Note: Attire may vary depending on the specific type of WM being targeted.
I.Q: Too low to measure.
NATURAL HABITAT:
Personal ad columns (“exotic, slim, SAF seeks successful, generous SWM”), cheerleading squads, sorority houses (role: token “oriental sisters”), T.V. newsdesks, B-grade Kung-Fu flicks, trendy nightclubs (usually found necking with aging WM’s), Chinese restaurants (slumming with the WM and demonstrating that she’s “in touch with her heritage”), anywhere else frequented by White males.
TYPICAL WHIGGIE QUIPS:
Age 10: “Mom, why do we have to be (Chinese/Japanese/Korean)? Do you have to dress like that? And what’s with Dad and his accent?
Age 12: “Mom, I want an eyelid job for Christmas, okay?
Later on…
“I’ve always only dated white guys. I don’t know why, I just have.”
“Race doesn’t matter. I just happen to like white guys. It’s just a preference.”
“We are the world, we are the children…We…”
“I’ve gone out with all kinds of guys…Dutch, English, French, German, you name it. Even went out with a Jewish guy once! After all, love is color blind.”
“Eeeew, Jennifer, how could you go out with that (insert minority group here) guy!?” Totally gross!
“Oooh Roger, you’re like soooo strong and intelligent. Did you say you drive a beemer? Kewl! (giggle).”
“I want to learn English better…you maybe teach, handsome man? Are you U.S. citizen?” (Yes FOB’s can be whiggies too!)
“Like why would I want to go out with an Asian guy? They don’t own me or anything. Uhh, and besides they are all male chauvinist …and domineering too…yeah that’s it! Didn’t you see The Joy Luck Club?”
Like, I’m dating *out* of my race, so how can I be racists?!! Duh!!
CLOSELY RELATED TO: Racists, bigots, wannabes, ho’s, chameleons, white supremacists, a fish out of water.
MEDIA REPRESENTATION/ROLE MODELS: Connie Chung, Amy Tan, Lisa Ling, Margaret Cho, Sheryl Wu Dunn, any of The Joy Luck Club protagonists (except the one who married an Asian dude).
NATURAL COUNTERPARTS: Asiaphiles…who else?

I am not a player I am just giving you a sample of my life and it sounds like I meet all these women.

I don’t think anyone should respond to the person acting as if they were a white racist. Don’t take the bait. Really, they (he or she) obviously has issues and you should feel sorry for them really. Intelligent people with better things to do don’t post like that. It’s so obvious that they are time wasters.

To tell you the truth I am a small guy with a relatively small willy. But I have had very attractive women about six foot tall chase me. Not joking. I did not have sex with either of them. But they were gagging for it. One had a massive tongue and it scared me! I do like the tall one with the long legs but I should have realised that she would have a massive tongue. She was gorgeous tho and I often think about her 9 years on. I had been flirting with her a bit – I thought there is no way a beauty like that would fancy a short ass like me – and as I was kissing her good night, the tongue came out. The other girl looked like something out of Vogue, but older if you see what i mean. To demonstrate that I could handle her ,after dancing , I picked her up and carried her around. Then I went off her but she kept coming for me,ringing me up and stuff. We wnet to the pub but I did not want to follow it up…..my fault really. She was a nice girl. I did snog another girl much, much younger than me who was 4 inches taller than me and who is really really good looking (all the guys chase her).

I am getting too old now and losing my looks a bit but women think I am about thirty odd and some people think I am just a kid and that is another advantage of being Chinese. Generally you age better than white folks. I met a really really beautiful blonde in London a few years ago. Really beautiful and I knew she liked me. I thought she was a model. Unfortunately, we lost contact. I looked for her and came across her again and I tell you I was shocked. She had aged so much, maybe through stress. Again I was flirting but when I saw that she had aged so much I went off her a bit. I think I could have her if I wanted because she remembered me and little things she said. I feel really bad about going off her…..really really bad.

I mean there are socally defective attention seeking and abusive chavs like the “racist guy” (hey but it could be an angry Chinese guy in disguise) but I myself am at fault. I have had all these wonderful Brit girls after me but I went off them…and they were lovely in every sort of way. As I write this I am shocked to remember that there were others too…..one accused me of running off. I love the fuller figure girls and I have had those girls chase me too….I am definitely a prat because I would flirt and then think “Hmmm Not sure if I like them after all”. Most of these girls if you put me side by side with them, are much more attractive than you would think a little Chinese fellah who was not that good looking would get.

By contrast I have a mate who is Chinese and very tall. He is really really good looking. Apparently he snogged ALL the girls in a students union for a laugh. But he looks like a model. He has the cut features and the little head and the tall body. He has the most amazing looking English girlfriend but I would never get a girlfriend like her….I have met many women but it’s horrible (I am going through middle aged crisis or something) to think that I could never pull a one like her, now. She was about 6 foot 1 in heels.

I am not your typical Chinese. I am quite intelligent but am a bit “slow”. I don’t have a successful career like you younger Chinese and I don’t have much money so I don’t know how I have had these opportunities that have now passed me by.

We should n’t go by looks and things like that really. It should be personality and I know a lot of young men have porn issues. Porn is a destroyer and a time thief. I have a Cypriot mate who can’t commit because of porn and running around getting laid everywhere. He told me it really affects him. I think people who talk a lot about penile size and laugh at “chinks” with small dicks have a porn infested mind. I would warn people like this that porn is a wrecker and a killer and they should stay away from it before it destroys or at the very least makes incursions into what would otherwise be loving relationships.

There’s my bit. To my Chinese lil brothers I say, oriental males (even short ass modest looking ones) can have a lot of opportunities – but always remember that a loving relationship is the goal. To my racist thuggish white friends (assuming they are white) I would say :try and get some respect for other races and meet people of other races socially without sex instead of dehumanising them – and lay off the porn…..otherwise you may have the sex that you crave with the Asian but, you will increase the sense of alienation that is already at a high level and which manifests in your writings. You know I am speaking the truth.

I am quite an modest looking Chinese guy. (I used to be handsome)Short as well. I have had long periods of unemployment and am not rich. I am mid forties. My last girlfriend was 22 years younger than me, a Brit and looks like a lingerie model. We lasted a couple of years. Last week I had a really hot blonde, much younger than me rubbing her hands all over me and saying she could not keep her hands off me. Before her, I was snogging an ex glamour/vogue model with an amazing figure who told me that I was very attrative but I had to do something with my life. When I dance with white females sometimes they rub their bodies against me (really) and say things like they are deprived or something. I am not joking.

Despite being of modest appearnce, I have to admit that I do work on my body a tiny bit (just kicking and punching a bag and weights and dancing). It is for functional dancing purposes (I flip girls over my head) as opposed to looking good for the sake of it. I do have a beautiful neat, tight body ahd I do show it off with tight vests. But the ladies love it.

The problem about being Southern Chinese is being small boned and light and so I will never be a rugby player. LOL. Thus I concentrate on partner dancing. The weird thing is that I whenever i am in a changing room with white guys, my body (usually) looks the best. Brown, slim but muscular and “tidy” to the eye. I know that i look good. Around me will be all this white fat pink hairy meat. It is quite embarrassing because I stand out too much. But then there are the twenty something working class Scousers and they have great bodies. Better than mine. Black guys have really good bodies also.

Anyway we should respect women and not brag about the size of our members. Don’t be a silly willy. I know white girls who are not small (say 5 foot 4 to 5 foot who are terrified of large penises because they are uncomfortable.

I tell you what tho. I think you fellahs need a bit of a sense of humour and the ability to laugh at yourself.

Gentlemen should be just that. Gentle and kind. And try to treat ladies with respect. They are not fodder.

BTW I have never snogged a Chinese girl.But I do remember once walking into a small room and I realised I had snogged three of the women there. It was a bit embarrassing really. I think I would like to meet a beautful black girl – kind of a light skinned one. They are gorgeous.

I don’t agree with you that it’s an abomination for an American bar to serve “Asian-style” meat on a stick. It’s just meat on a stick, and if it were hard to prepare, it wouldn’t be street food.

I’d hate to live within a half mile of one of those stinking street food stands. That’s the main problem with your idea to wish into existence Korean street food vendors. It was bad enough when I had to live near a Chinese restaurant that reeked of garlic and sulfur. I’d hate to have to smell liver on a stick and intestines on a stick frying all day.

It would kill property values. You know how we evil Americans love our private property rights. American cities just aren’t zoned for food shops that cook reeking organ meats. The only smell we put up with is the stench of coffee.

Sorry, but your wish to have Korean drunk-food stands located conveniently near you has been denied by the zoning board. Good day.
