On today’s episode of Walt Right Perspectives I speak with pilleater, a learned scholar of the Orient who writes at Polemics about culture, politics, and Asian Studies.
I infiltrated the Moonman discord once and got to see all their google drives and met all the crazy weirdos who made the songs and what software they used. Very interesting experience. One guy stole a Mac Tonight dangler from a place of a girl he slept with.
The reason white women are into Korean guys is due to the pop culture. When you go to Seoul these days, most of the international couples are a Korean guy and a foreign lady (quite the change from 20 years ago). It's also pretty common for low status Korean men to buy mail order brides from Eastern Europe and Russia (and SE Asia)
It's kind of ridiculous to talk about SE Asians that way. Mainland SE Asians (formerly Indochinese) tend to have yellow skin (with the exception of Cambodians), whereas archipelagic SE Asians (Austronesians) tend to have brown skin. They both tend to have larger eyes than East Asians. The most popular K-pop idols in the world are Lisa from Blackpink (Thai) and Hanni from Newjeans (Aussie of Viet descent). Minnie from G(I)-dle (Thai) is also quite popular. Henry Golding's probably the most popular half-Asian man in Western entertainment, and he's half Malaysian. I personally felt more kinship with Viet friends growing up than with other East Asians because Korean and Vietnamese Americans share a lot of parallels
Correction: you do see rainbow flags in Saigon (it's not Ho Chi Minh City). I saw several there away from the city center, but when you read the signs, it says "sex shop"
It all fits under the erasure of white males though. Boy bands from the 90s were white/Hispanic white-Backstreet Boys, 98 degrees, No Mercy (Cuban American)now almost the only current white acts seen in the Granmies are rappers and country. K-Pop artistes are like they started with the doll versions first and then the artistes came later.
>>When you date a woman who’s lower in status you can get away with being beta
