"But I understand the need and want to latch on to that white privilege but lets just stop it". Thank you for so eloquently speaking truth to light. Colorism is derived from white supremacy which is rooted in the fallacy that believes anything white or closest to white is superior. But most of us including white people know this is not true, unless we are miseducated. Instead it's a social construct that's been implemented to oppress certain groups of individuals(minorities) and uplift other individuals(white people). I am African American and recognized colorism at an early age. Noting I was often oppressed in spaces by my own race due to my darker complexion. But beauty and intelligence exist among all races and skin tones not just one. So whenever I have the opportunity I challenge colorism and hope others will began to due the same.
I recognized colorism when my aunt would make nasty evil comments about her own daughter's dark skin and praised me for being mixed race. It was so awkward and foul. Like, she's your daughter! She gets that dark skin from you! But she's like, "oh yo daddy was real dark. You get that from him"
It's so fucking sad
@@terenarosa4790 My gramma as well.. it comes from long generations of worldwide 🌐 wicked white washing and indoctrination, to hate one self if you do not possess recessive genes. Those devils sure did do a number on the world. 🌎 I give them credit for their successful inplepement of global mental deformity. It can be reversed with truth.
Thanks for being able to put in words and bringing to the forefront the things I've grown up with in an identity challenged family.
Thank you! Well said👏👏👏
They're actually only two kinds of people on this planet the first are *THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE OF THIS PLANET THE BLACK PEOPLE OF THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA*
*THEREFORE EVERYONE ELSE IS A DESCENDANT OF THOSE FIRST ORIGINAL AFRICAN PEOPLE*

CHEDDAR MAN - SPECULATION
I'm part Asian. I worked indoors in America and had fair skin, things were fine. Then I took an outdoor job and tanned -- a lot. People started talking to me in spanish.
lmao. I'm part Asian learning Spanish.
I'm a white British-Isles mutt and this happens to me all the time. Granted, I have brown eyes and usually tan dark and evenly with only natural exposure, but actual Hispanic people tend to make this mistake quite often, and other employees at my workplace would send Spanish speakers to me assuming I knew Spanish without even asking me. I did finally give up and try to learn some Spanish so I could at least try to help customers with whatever they needed, because the need was there. I guess it was harmless, ultimately, but it was still a strange assumption to deal with.
Something similar happens to me, I'm mexican and people confused me as an asian cause of my eyes
Lol I'm half Asian half Spanish and I'm pale af. Many people in Spain are actually pale af also, I have a friend that is 100% Spanish and she happens to be a redhead that cannot tan whatsoever, so I don't know why in America people think that tan must equal "looks like that person must speak spanish". What if they're either Spanish or descendants of the Spanish? I bet there are also many latin americans out there that are also pretty pale. Sure the further south you go people on average seem to get tanner but we're still pretty darn European here in Spain.
@@oqeufh there is a huge difference between Hispanic LatinAmerican and Spaniard Spanish. People sometimes confuse the terms and use them interchangeably, but they are different. Latin Americans from South and Central America have indigenous blood, and indigenous people migrated to America from Asia and still have some of that Asian blood. So those Hispanics look like tan Asians. Spaniards on the other hand, are the ones who colonized Latin America and made them speak Spanish.Those Spaniards are from Europe, where pale white are and some are pale too. Hover, because of the language overlap, people confuse them. Hope that makes sense why people act confused you’re not darker. They´re mistaking you for a Latin American.
OMG. I am a dark Filipina. I love that I am brown. It's sad that people have racist attitudes.
you should be very beautiful!
@Daftrax 98 the painting a redenção de cam from the Portuguese illustrates this so well. the portuguese mastered the art of categorizing people backward.
Half black but I am a tan filipina. My brother and sister are dark brown like their fathers and I saw how my own family treated me better versus my brother and sister because they were darker and hated their father. Sickened me.
@@MewMewSun Ati peoples 🤔
You girls are so freaking pretty 😍
The media definitely intensifies the colorism that already exist in Asian countries.
i'm a darker skinned asian woman and it always bothered me how ppl've always assumed i was less feminine bc i had darker skin/a larger jaw. it sometimes feels like, no matter what i say or do, i'll always be seen as rude, unintelligent and abrasive lmao
Thank you for your videos presentations. I am African -American ("Black & American"), and I want to say that your critique, analysis, commentaries are very informative, helpful in raising awareness, and appreciated. Keep doing this important work perhaps the world will be a better place for it. Thanks for being, YOU!
My mom also had said that it shows higher status, her mother whos Japanese always said that white showed this because Japanese with darker skin colors showed they were of lower status and worked in the fields.
Yet I still don't know whats wrong with working on the field
@@purplelove3666 same but this was back then and it still hasnt changed so in Asia ot most likely hasnt changed either and high status is wanted as well as porcelain skin.
My Filipino wife’s friends said the same thing. This is why so many of the well to do fair skinned Filipinas walked outside in the sun with a parasol.
Mini Light skin is bullshit. There are lots of light skin people who are poor.
Pretty sure I remember hearing this in history classes even in Europe
#tradition Dead people’s baggage.
You are criminally under subbed. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching my videos :)
I have such a weird relationship with colourism as a lighter skinned Filipino immigrant. When I moved from the Philippines to Canada, my identity as a Filipino had been so frequently questioned by my Filipino peers who were born in Canada... Even though I was born in the Philippines, they often implied that I wasn’t “Filipino enough” because my skin is not and will never be as dark as theirs. My skin tone was often the butt of jokes; most of them involving me being “pale for a Filipino”. It’s definitely a bizarre situation and I honestly still don’t know what to fully make of it... I’m glad that you’re bringing up discussions about colourism and it’s relationship to beauty and class standards because these issues are so internalized and at times, are very hard to navigate.
Btw I’ve only recently found your content and I’m glad I did! I love the topics you bring to light and the thought you put behind your videos! Keep up the great work and thanks for encouraging people to think and reflect!
Thanks so much! It means a lot that you took time to share your own experience. Definitely can relate as someone being born in China and even having that on every government document I have but still being questioned on my Chinese-ness by other Chinese people. But I get it bc I wasn’t raised Chinese, but that doesn’t mean I still don’t have my own stuff going on either. It’s just different. We can’t fit everything under one umbrella or in one box. Thanks again for sharing and supporting the channel :-) I’m glad you liked it!
You were made fun of because you supposedly "embody something that is evil". And they probably thought that you intentionally wanted to be White. And since colorism has been used to degrade and oppress darker people for thousands of years I think this was kinda like a pay back thing on their part; them kinda having the mentality of "now get a taste of your own medicine but the opposite".
Filipinos are haters periodt
@@ecor150 I was in the same situation as the OP except I'm Indian. It's really not that deep or bitter. Just 'lol u look different and speak with an accent'
I wish more people would talk about this
April 2001 me too!
@@CheyenneLin Same. There's also the fact in Asian Culture where they tend to worship anything thats more superior than them.
Incels talk about this all the time. Asian women are white worshippers. It's almost impossible for an asian man in the west to get an asian woman.
@@rainy905 That sad
@@CheyenneLin*9/11 joke huh.*
The way people think that because Asian people think it's okay that we white wash Asian roles is like if you broke a vase in someone's house and then told them that they did nothing wrong because the neighbor wouldn't care if you broke their vase.
Growing up, my east Asian parents weren't in agreement on how I looked as a girl. My skin tans easily and I'm naturally slim but muscular. My mom wanted me to watch my diet, wear sunscreen, and not get too muscular by playing too hard. My dad, on the other hand, encouraged me to eat protein and become strong. In my teen years, asian friends called me white washed. My features are a bit ambiguous and I grew up in the South and am kind of country Asian. My family is mostly tall, with more pronounced nose bridges and large, double lidded eyes. Asian boys from high school I was interested in said I was too brown, too muscular, not dainty enough. They were generally into the kp feminine look.
Later on, I ended up dating some asian men, but also men of other races. I never had a type physically. That may in part be due to never fitting a type easily. I experienced conversations from my asian female friends on how degrading it was for asian women to date white men. Some of them were the same people who called me white washed. Lol you just can't win with some.
I’m of Mixed Filipina background and wish more Asian people could open their minds to what’s really going on in the world like this RUclipsr. She is accurate with all of her videos.
She isn’t
The same thing happens with Latin-Americans, here in Chile we are the country of "I was blond when I was a boy", or the aunt who congratulates you when you arrive with a white boyfriend for going to "fix the race." This is how stupid the whole situation is. Sorry my English, is not very good.
That's heart breaking 😢
“To make imperialism and exploitation seem ok” is probably the most succinct and accurate explanation of white supremacy and colonization I’ve ever heard anyone actually say. Yes!!!!
This is one of the most dumbest things that I have ever read for awhile.
@@charlesoflyon6578 guess you read some really high level shit
Elena Kalliste Yeah yours of course.
SURE IT IS!
Have you ever experienced colorism? Tell me about it in the coments down below :)
i'm a "white" canadian who besides also being 3% cree(indian) look mostly caucasian, although anytime when i was still in my mid teens and would dye my hair black(mostly because of the music i am still into) some natives in the past literally thought i was aboriginal lol, happened while hanging out on a bench near a park in some ghetto at 2am with my girlfriend who was looking to buy some weed, some native guy who obviously was anything but sober from how he walked and talked; sat down next to me and struck a conversation with me, minutes later a cop car rolled by down the road and it made him not remember what he was talking about, he then a moment later nudged me on the arm with a smile saying "they'll never understand our kind huh brother" lol, the guy's girlfriend who was with him then pulled him away and down the street they went, this was just one example, other times before that people thought i was part Japanese of all things lol, it's mostly because of my facial symmetry and height from being 25% irish along with having russian, polish, ukrainian and english decent, my girlfriend of 6 years is half white and half laotian, only when she's not wearing makeup can you see the asian features in her face mixed with her "white" half
It has always confused me the conscious erasure of Japanese features from their own wonderful artform of Anime.
self hate and love of whiteness
Not really, in anime they always show Japanese culture. There is always an episode where they go out and dress in kimonos or do something that basically only happens in Japan. I think the Japanese are very proud of their culture. Ive seen a lot of tan skinned/dark skinned anime characters. However, the thing I noticed is that in older anime ( early 2000’s and 90’s) there are a lot more dark skinned characters and in newer anime ( 2010’s to present) there are practically none. Also, in Shojo there are never dark skinned characters, but in Shonen there are plenty. This shows that the beauty standard is mainly focused on girls.
@@elliepredator_fan1111 I agree with you and so do many people who visit Japan because the Japanese are known for the authentic way they respect and honour their culture while being innovative in technology and many fashion trends. Please take note that I said features and I was speaking about facial & body features. I maintain that lots of Anime hyper sexualise the female characters they look like Barbie in Japan. It is worrying that those who watch and think if you put a Kimono on a hyper sexualised looking Barbie that make the character Japanese. Please Anime show some love to real Japanese physical features 💖
@Thea Ansel oh yeah I see what you’re saying, I agree 👍🏼
This reason why country outside Japan should make their own anime to represented outside japenis mind.
Thank you lille sis! As an older African American living abroad, its been difficult trying to communicate with some Asians for years on these topics. It is really only this generation that has started conversations on these subjects and traumas, peace!
Thank you for this as an african-American woman it's just really frustrating because I really love my Asian shows but every time I watch them, they always mention, "I can't get tan, if I do oh my God it's horrible " Is it though? .It's just so frustrating to hear that every time. I'm in an interracial marriage and, and I'm so thankful for my husband not having a colorism issue. He loves my dark tan in the summer, he thinks it's beautiful. Thank you for your blunt honesty, and your awareness.
I really appreciate your video!
But I also believe that human behaviors are very complex. There are just too many factors that contribute to this colorism issue. When I was in 9th grade, I called one of my classmates/friends "chocolate" because she was naturally born dark skin. Then, she returned it back calling me "vanilla" and "flour prince". In my culture, "flour prince" has a negative connotation for someone who stays at home all the time, which explains why they have fair skin. Years later, I realized that her skin became less dark. I asked her, and she explained that she used whitening products to make her skin fairer. Honestly, I think that my remark did affect her insecurity. It kinda explains how social pressure can be very bad.
Also I've never heard of Asian women dating white men to be unacceptable and Asian men dating white women to be acceptable. I've only seen it to be much more common. For example when I visited Honolulu with my Thai mother and white dad over 10 years ago we were in a Thai restaurant and I looked around and the rest of the people present, composed of 5-6 couples, were an Asian woman and white man some with children. I almost wanted to gather everyone and take a group photo lol.
I think she was referring to Asian women being shit on for dating white men (“betraying their race/hating Asian men), but when Asian men date white women, it’s usually celebrated because it’s so uncommon. However, I do agree with you that it is more acceptable for an Asian woman to date a white man than it is an Asian man to date a white woman
Im obsessed with your content
Me too
Why can’t more people think and talk like you!😭😭
That would be horrible if everyone thinks and talks like her lol.
you are smart
You just made me to think .
Love to hear more ideas from you on sociology , race , politics everything whatever you find intresting , we will also post questions you can make videos on
Keep posting .
Dear Young sister.. Thank you for your great social service. Your contribution is greatly appreciated and needed. You are so courageous, bold and clear. Like the ripple effect, your comments have made a powerful impact on the conversation.
Europeans:
WE WANT TO BE TAN
Asians and Africans:
WE WANT TO BE PALE
im fine being asian i dont think being white is advantage
This was very good information. I recall my first trip to Thailand. I had forgotten some hygiene product, went to nearby pharmacy. I noticed immediately that there was a full isle of products to lighten and whiten the skin. That is when I realized that this is a serious matter. At least now I have a better understand to some of the reasoning behind it. Albeit, it was close to your explanation.
You're are certainly doing your part so everyone can be more inclusive in our world society thank you.
With anime people have said the race of the characters is subjective and appears to be the race of the person viewing it. But when you take final fantasy for example, and final fantasy 7 in specific, the original characters were designed in an anime style but when you look at the present remake of that game where the characters look more real to life the main protagonist, Cloud Strife, is unmistakably European in appearance.
As a rule of thumb, in anime, the default ethnicity is Japanese if not told otherwise. For example, in Haikyuu, the main character (Hinata) has orange hair and light skin. Some might look at Hinata and think “oh he’s white.” However, the show specifically identifies another character as “half Japanese, half Russian” (Levi) even if he was born and raised in Japan. And the show repeatedly mentions Levi is “half Japanese-half Russian” no less than 5 times - as if to emphasis that Levi is not ONLY Japanese. So with that said, the only reason why the show bothers to specify that Levi is not full Japanese is because Japanese of the default. And this phenomena is not unique to anime. In western literature, unless stated otherwise, white is the default race of characters described in a book. So for white people to take on media made in Japan and arrogantly think that THEY are the default race is absolutely absurd. But once again, this is a rule of thumb (you are right about cloud being European), not every anime character is automatically assumed Japanese’s. However, MANY anime characters ARE assumed Japanese and it’s arrogant of white people to think white is the default instead of Japanese for a media CREATED IN JAPAN AND CREATED PRIMARILY FOR JAPANESE PEOPLE
@@kirag9509 You can definitely say that they are Japanese but many times when in the show many times they point out the "attractivness" of the character which you can mostly find, for the most part, they have straight, light hair, skin and/or eyes and that is mostly from people with European decent. Now for the record I only say a character is a specific race if stated and I agree with your statement fully but I think it's also makes sense why they can be mistaken as white. Though I think we should stop assuming as a whole in my opinion.
@@kirag9509Why do they look so white though? Answer: internalized racism.
This was informative. PLEASE continue to do more videos like these. Thank you
Very Informative 👍🏿🙏🏿
Your doing such a great job bring awareness too such an open secret please keep it up😄👍🏿
As a white man I'm going to say that it's a you problem and not a me problem.
You are amazing. You have courage. I know how oppressive the Asian culture can be so I applaud you Queen for your strength and courage to speak truth against immeasurable odds. If you are in New York City reach out. You have an ally in me. If you need protection you have an ally. Do not hesitate to reach out. Like minded people must hold the line for one another. Peace and blessings Queen.
Damn this was soooooo good, literally took every word out of my mouth. Good shit.
Same
Binge watching your content 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
love your commentary
I love you cuz your real, keep shedding light on the madness in society we are all humans🙏🏽
once again great vid!!!!
Super interesting! Great discussion! Regarding the indoor/outdoor skin tone idea - I've always thought that idea, that pre colonial colorism (which would equally apply to ancient European societies) goes back to being light skinned bc of working indoors vs working outdoors, isn't meant to be seen as a continuous, rational motive that lasted until the modern idea of whiteness usurped it, but an explanation for how these ideas might have first developed, but I totally agree that today they are directly inspired and influenced by colonialism and white hegemony, but I've also always believed that white hegemony hijacked off of this preexisting colorism which does indeed seem to exist and which may indeed go back to the skin tone difference of indoor and outdoor workers and seems to have existed in some form across the world. But I've always thought it was understood that this idea had long since become merely a cultural way of marking class in these pre colonial societies, before becoming about white hegemony. One thing about markers used in social hierarchies are that they do not cause these hierarchies. For example, language is used to reinforce racial othering, but if a non white person speaks or writes as white at possible, they will still experience racism. These markers are merely used to reinforce these heirarchies, but when they don't reinforce them they may be ignored or changed by the system or be employed as a double standard. This is why a bilingual non- white person is seen as lesser than a white person who kinda knows something about other languages. Its not about speaking only English or not speaking non-English, it's about being racially othered. If a white person is bilingual it's prestigious and they deserve a pat on the back. If a person of color does it, its threatening, or a sign of inferiority, or a sign of not being able to speak English.
I like your honesty and insight
I'm really enjoying your content and commentary.
You are spot on
Im so glad I found your channel
love your videos!
Rei thank you!! ☺️
Girl, you funny. Love your video essays.
The thumbnail has me weak😭 love your content as always
I'm very pale, of northern European descent. In India I went grocery shopping with someone from the host family I was with. At the store she asked me, in all seriousness, if I needed to buy any fairness cream. Out loud I politely said "no." In my head I said "I'm already paler than anyone else in this town. Why on earth would I want to make it worse!" Some of my friends thought it was both weird and funny when they found out that I would stay out in the sun on purpose in order to try to get a tan.
@Jasmine no we don't!
Jokes on them im brown and forever will be (indonesia)
Love your videos
This is my 1st time at your channel..finally some one who is not afraid to speak the truth around these hard topics.. I have a book tiled Living Color : The Biological & Social Meaning of Skin Color By Nina G. Jablonski : A professor Of Anthropology Penn Sate, she states that in Asian countries esp East Asia, fair skin is status because farmers & lower class people are associated with dark skin, for they work out doors in the Sun .. Thank You, Keep Up The Good Works for we need voices such as yours..!
Thank you for this, most asians online don't want to talk about it.
I never imagined that Asian looking people were treated differently in Brazil. There are so many people with Asian roots that I’ve always seen Asian features as another variation of society, like blond hair. It really surprised me
thankyou so much for this video! this is very important to me as a tanner East-Southeast Asian (I'm both). I delt with struggling with my self worth for a while and I'm ashamed to admit that I'm struggling to put away my skin-lightening products because I don't want to be teased my family anymore.
But I wanna clarify (please tell me if I misunderstood you!!)
I forgot if you addressed this in the video, but when you brought up double eyelids and whiteness, I was sorta taken aback because I have natural double eyelids. And my white classmates never considered my very clearly non-white eyelids as a white (and many of them made fun of me for my eyes anyways. And in school in Southeast Asia, apparently Chinese-looking eyes would still be teased despite my visible eyelid). Hearing people refer to double eyelids as Eurocentric (though I don't know if you were implying that) kind of hurts because my Southeast-Asianness, my skintone, alongside my double eyelids have always put me at "not Asian enough."
However, I do understand that my double eyelids area beauty standard in many various Asian communities.
Again, I just want further clarity on what you meant when you brought that up. If I missed a part of the video, then I am so sorry for misinterpretating your message.
Hi and thanks for sharing! I was mainly talking about double eye lids being a beauty standard in Asia. I didn't mean to imply that having double eye lids means that you're not Asian. Like you mentioned, plenty of Asian people from all over the continent have double eyelids and having them doesnt mean that you're tyring to look white. I'm sorry if that point was muddled in the video, that's on me! Thanks so much for commenting and bringing this up, and I'm glad you liked the video!
@@CheyenneLin Thank you for taking the time to respond and clarify! That means a lot! I'm glad to know that this was just a little misunderstanding.
Hope you have a good day, Cheyenne!
Excellent content and I just want to add how much I adore Ariana Miyamoto! She is so stunningly gorgeous and elegant 💞. I watched her interview on being crowned Ms. Universe Japan and I had so much empathy and respect for her experience. Love her!
Thank you for being honest.
I am African American and though you would dodge or deny and you told the straight dope.You rock...
Hey cheyenne.... I love ur work
I’m half Japanese and though I look Asian I’m even paler then most of the white girls and my mother who is full Japanese and darker then me is always talking about how beautiful my skin is and how I would be considered so pretty in Japan
And I’m like “Thanks?” I don’t really know what to say to that
Teach!!!
all walks of life should realize that they can't change who they are, they are who they were born as and should embrace it, not try and hide it, their only disrespecting themselves by doing that thanks to hollywood's 80 years of white washing other cultures and races, i mean my girlfriend of 6 years is half "white" and half Laotian, and i don't think a thing about it, i think the mix of both enhances her beauty more, everyone is different in their own way and that's what makes each of them attractive in their own way, if everyone looked the same there would be no individual quality, it would be boring as shit, sex drive's would plummet and we'd decline as a species, that's why racists are just stupid and shouldn't be paid attention to, they just don't get it
Thank you for your honesty. We need to have more conversations on this topic. Asian people aim to marry white to have a better life in America. Love is not important to Asians only being accepted as White or better than their Asian fellows with darker skin. Maybe that is why they do not play a lot of summer outdoor sports and if they do, early in the morning before the sun comes out... shameful!
There is a lot of that sadly. The pairing is so common especially with White men and Filipinas that even the Asian women get competitive and nasty towards eachother when they see other Asian/White couples. At least when Asian men get with White women they support eachother instead of get all competitive.
East Asians in specifics want to not in of itself have simply just pale skin but also want to make there eyes more round by having eye surgery and having there cheek bones less high as well and also dying there hair Blonde, Brown, Red, Orange, Strawberry, Auburn, And Chocolate as well as wearing colored contacts such as blue, green, hazel, and so on
Thanks for addressing these questions. I saw online some things about East Asians and acronyms associated with them, like ABG and this is making a lot of sense. If they truly want to be white and hate being Asian, then just marry a white guy. But I hope they choose to love themselves and see that it doesn’t matter who they marry or hangout with because they should love people for their personality, character and morals. Love who you love, not necessarily to make a half white baby bc at the end of the day you’ll always be Asian and so will your kids. Love yourself and hopefully your kids will appreciate and love themselves too. Stop the cycle of internalized self hate ❤
Thank you. Just thank you.
Right on!
SPICYYY, once again from my experience of living in China, I've heard it all. Once a watched an older woman tell a child "omg, you're so skin is so white" as a compliment, another time the Chinese girlfriend of a white American coworker told me how she is constantly berated by some of her close friends for being "too dark" and was told that only he could date her because Chinese can't accept that dark, and all of the umbrellas in broad daylight or even cloud days for fear of getting a tan.
Thank you for the education of the Asian community and it’s history with colorism. I have always believed that racism is heightened when you don’t know about the other culture, as it is with Black people. However, the problem with all of these issues that you speak of is that our problem is a spiritual problem. This is where we have not elevated as humans. When you don’t know that you are a spiritual being FIRST, you will be subjected to many illegitimate thoughts and feelings as well as subjected to the behaviors of a culture that has yet to evolve.
This is the first time I’ve heard any person of Asian decent admit this. Refreshing
All skin is beautiful 🤟🏻🤟🏼🤟🏽🤟🏾🤟🏿💗
There’s a skin lightening ad attached to your video. RUclips ad sense is shady.
WTF! 😡
Great video, you are correct we are currently under white hegemony.
Thank you!
The same pple went around and destroyed the world and the sooner EVERYONE acknowledges that the better off EVERYONE will be.
"Why is it okay for asian men to date whte women, but not the other way around?"
White men and asian women outnumber the other by like a 5 to 1 ratio.
so, yeah, its "okay." and they know it
Yes but asain women are criticised more
@@chelseashamim9148 only when that data came out that not only do asian women prefer yte men, but prefer them to an even greater exclusivity than wtye women do.
that means that asian women prefer WM 8 times more than WM prefer asian women...
That means that if Asiand women were Whyte, they would be by far the most race-loyal women.
and a full 40% of AF refuse to date Asian men.
NO OTHER race of women does this.
Of course they are going to be criticized.
It looks like worship..
Besides that, I am sure that when attractive asn men date out, they get criticized to.
Only criticism is that there is admiration for the Asian man that dates white woman due to its paradoxical social nature- women don’t date down socially but men do hence the predominance of white men with Asian women.
But if my Asian brothers are reading this comment - don’t forget your Asian culture. It starts with language (I don’t mean English). Ensure your partner also speaks the language of your culture - otherwise it’s just colonial intimacy.
To embrace and promote our culture into mainstream western society. Only then can we start to see more changes in relation to more Asian men with White women or coloured people in senior management or mitigating disdain for Asians with lower level English etc etc .
All the concepts discussed by Frantz Fanon in 1959 (he has a chapter about the coloured man and the white woman too)
There is a contradictory discourse for ABCs because as hard as we try we will never be white. it is our responsibility to break the culture of Western hegemonic superiority for this and future generations of minorities that come after us ….
Well said ☝🏽
Comment for the almighty algorithm
THANK YOU
I'M BLACK
lets be honest, this is part of our nature, we want something we dont have. ppl with curly hair want straight, ppl with straight hair want curly hair. im a white european, i want to be tanner and have wavy hair, instead of straight. and i have met plenty of asians who are much white than me. i think some asians, especially from north asia are pale. europeans are more beige, not white white or pale or whatever
I'm as pale as a ghost. I DONT WANNA GLOW IN THE DARK.. I love seeing people with tanned or darker skin.. I wish I had that tone but I only got two tones. Seagull and lobster
You asked multi racial dating. I can tell you: I am from Denmark, lived in Beijing for 7 years, and I'm married to a Chinese man. I know a lot of multi racial couples - all imaginable combinations!
In China at least, the reason why different couples are seen differently is that China has a lot more men than women. 30 million men are expected to never find a wife. That's why, when I, a white woman, walk with my Chinese husband, he'll literally receive thumbs up from strangers. He's seen as cool and as doing something not just for himself, but for China as a whole. On the other end of the scale, Chinese women with foreign men are seen as shameless and slutty. This is in part due to the fact that there are more men: As a result women are not just members of society but also a scarce resource. Of course not every person thinks like this! There are many people who won't even bat an eye when they see a multi racial couple, but that is not enough. Inter racial couples shouldn't have to deal with the opinions of others, and Chinese women should not be viewed as property.
sarah he is gettin thumbs up because of your whiteness not because he bagged a rare gem called a woman . . the same man would be reviled if you were a black woman , if you were honest you'd add the real reason why there are fewer women to be gin with. i can't believe you haven't gained perspective on how your whiteness is an imperialist prop despite the fact that you love your husband. this the matrix you are a part of and its the same one i was born into.
@@PHlophe You shouldn't assume I don't understand or care enough to understand the culture from a single comment... I fully know all of this, but if I had to write all the aspects of this, my comment would have been listed in pages. I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say with my comment, sorry if I was unclear.
Anything black doesn't fly with Chinese people😂😜😂 White people are in the power Matrix so despite the whole men to women ratio dynamic that exists in China, bottomline is White people have social power so getting married to one for a local chinese person that attracts praise and an element of pride. its also a plus for chinese men because lets face it, they are internationally(not in china though as they are the majority but they battle with this whenever they see chinese women married/dating non chinese men)stereotyped as less physically and sexually attractive as compared to other men from other racial groups. So an Chinese men marrying a White European woman is a game changer and general chinese society views such a man as being elite(even though you and your man married because you love one another)
For Black men and women who have chinese spouses, you always have to be mentally,emotionally and spiritually tough because i know what it means being black in China............and to an extent though looking from a distance away and observing what goes on around me i think i have an idea of what it means being white in China
@@kingimmanuel3411 This is very true! Black women in particular have it hard! I have heard people use some really disgusting phrases that both humiliate and hyper sexualise them at the same time...
I think a part of it epseicallh today is the mindset that the grass is greener on the other side. Like both Asians and European cultures do it. Wanting to be the oppsite of what they are with looks. Like why is getting tanned, bulked, and more exaggerated features held as high beauty in the west yet the exact oppsite is true in the East.
Thanks for the TRUTH !😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
I'm a Hispanic (of European origin to boot) and at times I wish I was either East Asian or Southeast Asian. While I'm overall happy with my appearance (after all, I do like being tall and voluptuous), I feel being all dainty and petite would've been way better overall. Clothes just looks better on dainty, petite bodies. Now that I lost all that "gross" extra weight I gained between 2017-2019 and I'm back to looking "normal", clothes are back to looking "vulgar" unless I either wear blazers/cardigans with a top and opt for loose-ish A-line cuts (and not body-con, unless it's a date night with hubby).
Asian women have it soooo good body wise: they're delicate, small, petite and usually short. Even at my lightest and smallest size...I'm still "curvy" solely because of my hip bones. I can't just change that!
You dont wanna be us, you just want to be shorter.
Being a Far East Asian woman, you get HELL for having a sameface since the idea of most Far East Asians lookalike, and they say sameface is not beautiful but boring unstimulating sameness.
And much worse than that, I was called a disgusting masculine rectangle so many times or "NOT A REAL WOMAN"... Since you can imagine why... Flat bra size and same with bottom size and hip size🚪 😵
Many of the aren't even small or petite
I personally find a brown bronzed skin tone on asian people preety attractive, examples would be Okinawan people and those from Osaka that are closer to the coast or Philipino people. I honestly don't care about the beauty standards of asia specially speaking about skin tones.
We have these same issues in the Hispanic community.
And it's a two way street as well. The ones with more Amerindian features also look down upon the ones who are more Euro-like. Like, if Hispanics who are of more Amerindian origin and know little to no English go to a store and need help, they assume it's the person who resembles them the one who will know Spanish as well (and IME it has hardly been the case). In countless of occasions since moving to Texas, I've assisted hundreds of Hispanics (many of Amerindian origin) whenever they are in public to navigate around town. The big mistake they do is assume that the employee who has more Amerindian features is the most proficient in Spanish.
This has rarely been the case. I've been very happy to help these folks, albeit at times it has been a bit of a (funny) "challenge", but only due to the very silly differences of word usage. Like, in my dialect, the word "coger" merely means "to grab" and that's it...but I got a few odd looks from people when I was a very new transplant because of it (but I know better now lol) since it's a very vulgar way to say "fornicate" in some other dialects. Other words that had gotten similar reactions (albeit are not vulgar) are: "guagua" (instead of "camioneta" or "autobus"), dron de basura ("depósito de basura"), "bizcocho" (can also mean "torta", "pastel", but in other dialects it's a vulgar word), "boliche" (bowling, which in some dialects can also mean "bolos" or it's synonymous with "night club" in other dialects), and so on...
Please do a video about asian people who always wear sunglasses.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Preach
Everyone wants to be white... But i want to tan. But i only burn 😅
I understand people want the things that they want but honestly it shouldn't be expected or forced by anyone. You are what you are and its natural and I wish I could freaking tan. The only parts that keep it are my arms :| very weird
I want to be white I'm so upset with my skin I hate myself if I was white I would literally accept my nose and any flaw cause just being white is enough for me 😭😭💔
I'm not saying being white is beautiful what I'm saying is white suits me better than brown I once tried to see myself with white skin and I was so satisfied but it's makeup that's not real 😭💔 btw I don't see white people any prettier than brown and black people or anything but for myself I see myself so ugly with a brown skin 😭💔💔💔💔
Your video was quite good, now to go watch Lindsay Ellis
P.s. I wasn’t aware that a white guy and Asian woman dating was stigmatised. Which party is the one dating down?
Andorchadas thanks! Can’t wait to watch her video :)
And yeah! It’s mainly stigmatized in the Asian community. A lot of Asian men get angry when Asian women date outside their race because they’re not keeping the “bloodline pure.” And Asian women are more expected to “hold up the race” than men.
Not to mention a lot of Asian women look down on other Asian women for daring white members as they’re “fetishizing” themselves.
Though Asian men dating outside their race is also seen as “bad” it’s less stigmatized because “getting” a white woman is seen as a goal as Asian men aren’t seen as “real men” in many respects.
Cheyenne Lin Huh... I find that quite ironic, considering that Son Goku, one of the most famous characters to come from Asia is a literal alien that has mixed race children with an ostensible Asian woman and will be an ambassador for the 2020 Olympics (if that’s still happening)
@@CheyenneLin I find this true of the black community as far as interracial dating is concerned as well. The onus is always on black women to uphold black men, even when treated poorly or relegated to last pick.
RayS2able I Couldn’t agree more. I too always find it interesting that the least desired sex tends to have the most gripe about their counterpart dating outside of their race. As you alluded, according to dating surveys, black women are the least desired of all women, and asian men are the least desired for men. So it makes sense that the two would have the most problem with their counterparts dating out since they feel their options are limited. I know I’m basically regurgitating what you said, but i came here to say it, before i read yours.
@@SL-pg4dh I dont know where this least thing came from because that hasnt always been the case .I mean just because some daring site says it doesnt make it true since the world is a lot bigger and their are more opportunities to date whom ever or wherever you are but no since we live in a world of fake up and fake butts and boobs and Instagram models ..
You are wooookkkkeeeee
It's sad, that the ones influenced by that, can't see their on natural beauty. The skin bleaching makes them look like ghost.
Epa, pera ai menina, Brasil?
Whiten skin is a variation of albinism. At the microscopic level, there is barely any difference between the skin of those declared White and those declared Albino. In both cases, the melanocyte cells fail to produce the enzyme, Tyrosinase, which is essential for the pigmentation or coloring of the skin. The main difference between those formally deemed Albino and the White person is that melanin colors the hair and eyes of most White people, whereas for the albino, it does not. Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, who is a medical doctor or MD, makes this point.
YOUR VERY PRETTY
??? There is and has never been a white hegemony in Korea or really any Asian country besides Hong Kong. Pakistan was literally owned by Britain for decades and yet they don't have remotely the colorism problem that Korea does.
This is purely a cultural issue that you try to blame on the west for some reason... which ironically just gives a pass to colorism and perpetuates it. "its not your fault you're colorist, it's the west! don't change yourself it's their fault!". I see this same historically illiterate victim mentality in my community (Ethiopia) and it has literally never been colonized ever. When you only have others to blame you will refuse to improve
I remember meeting an Asian woman on a dating sight. She appeared light complexion very white face. Eyes were round. But when we finally met she very Beautiful. I told her she look way better in person. Her skin was kinda brown, her eyes were nice with a slant. I had already told her on the dating site that I hate when Asian women hide there real beauty. So when she showed up. She told me thank you, because since she has stop wearing white makeup on her face she gets more attention from men. I was like oh ok.
I never got the white makeup thing. Are they wearing that on their entire body? Hands? How do you get things to match up
I have dated many women of different races. My preferred were normally of Asian descent.
2:07 you are not immune to propaganda
Cheyenne is a treasure of youtube
The majority of white men don't care about skin colour or features, we care about family.
