Yellow Fever: The Exotification of Asian Women

[ismnotwasm]

15. The thing that gets me

Is certain Latina women may live in a machismo culture, but they are not, in my experiance, subservient. Nor are Chinese women, or Philipina women, Or Korean women. There may be gender roles they accept, depending on their cultural background, but not subservience.

As far as preferences, we all have them. I mean give me Dwayne Johnson or Vin Diesel any day, both of mixed ancestry. (Of course my husband is of Russian/German descent, but he's my hunnybunny)

It's the combination of racism and sexism with unrealistic cultural and sexual expectations that's wrong and damaging.
