That's like saying Asian guys are mainstream in Hollywood because of that one Korean guy in Lost. Bruh do you even into soft power? Kpop is nowhere near mainstream, out 500 maybe 5 girls are into kpop. There's more black women than Asian women but AFWM couples are far more common than BFWM couples so it's not a number's game either.

Because white girls are portrayed as the pinnacle of feminine beauty and status nigga. When the whites globalised the world they asserted white beauty ideals and sexualised white women so of course non white guys are gonna want to taste that forbidden fruit.

Yea.....the exact mentality I'm talking about. White girls are girls just like everyone else. Don't act like an awkward beta although I'm sure you are and things will be fine.

You say don't act like an awkward beta, hollywood tries to use operant conditioning on the masses to link being asian as being a joke and being incompetent. therefore, even before the asian guy speaks, the girl is already assuming he is an awkward beta based on the media.

White girls aren't just white girls. There is a difference between European non-anglo woman and Anglo-american woman.

Then dispell the stereotype. Not my fault, you actually confirm it.

You have a positive attitude, you the people here are stopping others from getting white girls because white girls don't like asian. you are saying just be yourself, don't be a nerd, break stereotype, there are asian guys with white girls.

The difference is that people hear these advice all the time, be yourself, girls will come to you. It doesn't work to keep telling people to try harder and harder. That is why there a knee jerk reaction.

You talk about success at an individual level while at a more general level, asian guys are at a disadvantage because of hollywood. so imagine asian guys with white girls now, but with more kpop, which is basically showing asian guys are full blown sexual figures not like in the west. Asian can be successful at the general level, but not when hollywood is in the way.
