These are some interesting tidbits I’d like to share as a half-Asian, Asian presenting male. I’ve been living abroad for a very long time and coming back to the US, I had some “interesting” experiences. I won’t share too much cause I’m guessing my family will recognize me.

1. The guy at immigration started harassing me and his tone shifted after I told him I spent a long time on mainland China. He was acting like I wasn’t an American citizen. I won’t go into more detail about this because I already shared this with my family – who of course, gaslit me.
2. While driving from the airport it was so unbelievable crappy in comparison to outside of the US, my uncle got laughed at by a cop for being Asian, and my family (who live in a skyscraper in a gentrified ghetto) were adamant about how it was superior to China, where it’s safe and affordable. These people only care about money. When bringing up how the cop was racist, my aunt goes “I just ignore it.”
3. In Chinatown, it was basically 8 WMAF couples versus a single AMWF. The WMAF couple literally kept staring at me the entire time, for whatever reason, I’m guessing they wonder what a half-Asian looks like, or they think I’m full, or they feel like it’s awkward being surrounded by WMAF and a half-Asian guy from WMAF. Basically it’s endless WMAF and zero AMWF and a lot of these couple stare at me trying to figure out if their future kids will look “too Asian.”
4. An aunt of mine has a Caucasian boyfriend who was going on and on about Muslims because I had just come back from an Arab country for holiday and was singing praises about how clean and beautiful it was. He kept saying that he wouldn’t have gone to the spots I went to because I would have gotten “blown up.” While talking to my aunt, bizarrely he came over and started behaving like one of those guys trying to protect and hover his girlfriend while she is talking to another man. He has a history of saying vile things about Chinese students, accusing many of being spies.
5. They were showing photos of their grandkids and they complete ignored the full Asian boy while going on and on about their mixed race granddaughters (most of these couples are happy to have daughters over sons). Even my wife noticed this.

At this point I’m prepared to be gaslit about this. Asians are so insanely obsessed with wealth and status to the point that they legitimately ONLY care about escaping the low statusness of their own ethnicity. As I said, half-Asians are the ones to watch out for.
