I live in Asia, and I came here because my family invited me to work here. At first I was reluctant because I didn’t want to be seen as one of those guys who goes back to Asia to lord over the locals. I only did so because I admired the Chinese guy in my family who invited me here due to his “success.” I had a hard time finding work in the US, maybe because I have a non-Anglo first name (it sounds Asian as hell but I suspect it might sound black on a resume).
Basically, to “model” in Asia, the requirements are extremely low. They hire random girls from Russia all the time for these tiny little local Chinese fashion companies. Like everything else, Asia seems to be the place where you can roleplay as a winner, when you’re just a loser, through and through.
Many half Asian / hapa men come to Asia because they’ve been convinced for years that they’re all spectacular because they’re half white, and thus superior (taller, sharper features) than full Asians. It’s pathologically racist. I’m sorry, it just is. The same thing happens in the black community, where lighter skinned / mixed black women are considered more beautiful – and it’s just as racist.
I don’t understand why someone would want to do this. With the sheer amount of racism in western countries, against Asian men, why would one go abroad to Asia to lord ones white features over the locals? I’ve been talking about anti-Asian racism since I was 12 because I instinctively knew that Asians (men in particular) were treated with contempt; so what’s the excuse of half-Asian “models” and “celebrities?”
I couldn’t understand for the longest time why half Asians did this and didn’t feel extreme guilt about this. I suffer from extreme guilt all the time about my full Asian friends who suffer from racial bullying and romantic discrimination. Why would I be proud to be half-white, and therefore “better off?” And why would I go out of my way to use my whiteness (let’s be real) to make money off of the naivety of full Asians? A lot of half-Asians are so proud to be “half Caucasian,” but let’s be real, in the west, we’re seen as Asian despite out best attempts to distinguish ourselves as super-slayers who get all the girls. (Most don’t). I assure you, people who don’t like Asians (including Asian women) literally do not care if an Asian guy is half white.
I guess, that most people in this world take what little opportunity they have and run with it, since life is hard. You’re only as moral as life allows you to be.
Empty stomachs always growl loudest, and insecure hapas who think they’re super hot are usually the most insecure.
Also, non-PC take, my female friend mentioned a lot of biracial Asians seem to be gay more on average. I guess due to emasculation? And, as a result, many are perfectly fine shucking and jiving for whites and have no compunction about putting down full Asians, because gay half-Asian men benefit from white supremacy as well, since they have a use.
