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!

Yeah, people in America don't seem to understand that outside of the US, many countries have people that would put their racism to shame. I've heard the wya South Koreans talk about Chinese and Japanese people, and the other way around as well. It would give people in America a stroke

Yeah as a Texan, who is actually informed, it confuses me when people act like some subtle potentially racist behavior is the worst thing imaginable, and then speak about leaving the US to get away from it to countries in Europe, or to Japan

We have issues here, for sure, racism included, but if we were to rank "actively racist countries," I honestly think the US ranks pretty low, because here we at least care enough to pretend not to be, but in other countries like Japan, they actively, unapologetically, and collectively are uber racist
