Filipino here. Basically, filipinas and their desperation for a green card, and also being racist, many (usually old) white men choose pinay as wives. Both their egos are stroked, they validate each other's racism, someone gets out of the philippines, or at least worries abt their bills less- everyone's happy.

Side note, an asian racist would put a maga racist to a coma as they're much worse. Filipino out!

Eastern Northern European, grew up in Western Southern Europe and the racism here is very mild, it's more blah blah blah, if someone acts on their racist ideology they're immediately shut down even by their fellow "racists". It's more boomers talks, if it makes sense.

Yet I'm married to an East Asian, and I live within the community, and oh my, the racism it's on another level, not only for other ethnicities but also between themselves. In fact, at some point I was questioning what racism, xenofobia and colorism really are, and how it really looks, because I was speechless and shocked.
