I was watching some rap show on Netflix and noticed this really uncomfortable looking half-Asian guy in the background who clearly was there only by invitation by the contestant as part of his family entourage, and he was wearing this trucker hat, had a big beard and one of those pro-American / gun shirts or whatever.

And I was like… another one?

Why are half-Asian men SO into proving that they’re real Americans, real tough-guys who take back America from all those libs, POC, feminists, etc?

Simple, well, like in my case, their fathers are white nationalist adjacent men who went for an Asian woman as a way to fight back against change, to feel big and unapologetically white, and have a woman that worshipped them and rewarded them for whiteness. This is how these hapa men are raised. Their mothers are marrying a white man because it’s simply out of the question to marry an Asian man. That’s how the game is rigged, after all. So, now, you’ve got a half-Asian man who was raised by two people who ostensibly SHOULD have been a right-leaning white couple, except the woman is Asian. Asian looking hapa son is so cut off from his mother’s culture, so brainwashed into thinking white society and white men are the pinnacle of all humanity – OF COURSE these hapas are going to act, talk, dress like good ol’ American boys. He’ll do ANYTHING to prove he’s a white American man – just with Asian facial features. And since he has Asian facial features, in order to escape the inevitably and persistent jokes and alienation, he goes WAY out of his way to signal to the world, through his actions and appearance – that he’s NOT a foreigner, NOT a POC, but a good old American white man – but just with an Asian mother.

There you go.
