As an Asian American I’m glad fung bros taking these types of conversation to a bigger platform!

[Stevintage]

It really is a delicate balance and line between “whining” too much and complaining vs having meaningful dialogue about very really world factors that play a part in all our lives. And being unable to express that difference or not being able to tell the difference can shut down any discussion or end up in personal attacks

[sasukeshinobi]

The Asian community as a whole have always been bullied because we are seen as a society that never complains and so we stay silent. But the more we talk about these Issues in our community, the more we can start seeing change. And so far we’ve been making great progress over the last few years. Especially after the Asian hate crimes we’re finally learning to work together. The more we speak up the more respect other communities will have for us so keep at it 👏🏼✊🏼

I am glad that you guys aren't afraid to bring up some sensitive topics. No one else does.

[funkthat]

Fung Bros have no fear, not afraid to discuss any topic and they have honestly some of the best takes and analysis on difficult topics.

As a Chinese Venezuelan (Chinese heritage, born and lived in Venezuela) I can assure you this phenomenon only applies to anglo saxon countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia) because in South America its a more even playing field. In some cases you see more Asian male with Latina girls rather than the other way around. I personally blame the US mainstream media that keeps portraying Asian women as submissive to white guys and ALWAYS pair up Asian woman with a white guy but NEVER the other way. Basically, we all been brainwashed and we need to stop buying into this narrative. Because in real life (like in South America) it should be all even playing field. But in US (Anglo saxon countries) they portrait it against the Asian male narrative.

As an Asian woman who grew up in the rural South, lived in Boston, Houston, traveled back to the Motherland, and now lives in Ohio with her Asian husband...BIG CLAPS to the Fung Bros and Elaine. People need to realize that humans are complicated beings. I was told by multiple Asian guys I wasn't Korean enough. I was told by white guys I was just an experience. I've been up and down the spectrum with relationships. You gotta find someone who wants what you want at the end of the day. For me, I wanted someone to share culture, good eats, and a sense of family with. That looked like my Chinese/Korean husband who grew up in Ohio and is cultural/socially aware of what it means to be who we are. Thanks, David and Andrew for always keeping it real and entertaining.

Interracial relationships within the Asian community are tricky. This is an issue that doesn’t get addressed enough. The sentiment of love should have no color is beautiful and should be the norm. However this is not the case for everybody. We live in a culture where historically Asian Men have been heavily discriminated against in this regard. Women of all colors are almost brainwashed to stay away from the Asian man while at the same time Asian women are highly encouraged to date/marry out.

Asian women have been weaponized by other people in order to further the mate guarding agenda against Asian men. When Asian women go interracial they are essentially picking a side, and are indirectly feeding into the racism that plagues half the community. It’s not fair that they are put in this position but that’s just what it is. No one asked to be put in this situation.

It also does not help that a concerning number of Asian woman have aligned themselves with the white mans propaganda and even endorse the racism and harmful stereotypes that plague Asian men. Seeing say a white man as an upgrade from an Asian man. Disguising their racism by labeling it a “preference”. To quickly label Asian Men as incels for pointing out racism, is simply just an easy way to avoid any real conversation.

Agree that no one should be told who to love, but when it happens all the time to Asian Men, can’t help but point out the double standard.

David be "spitting " facts LOL

I was working with a girl from Thailand who came to United States for school. She was dark skin, pretty, and petite. She commented to me that she felt weird around Caucasian males because she believed they fetishized her lol.

The topic of white guys dating Asian females always used to disturb me because a lot of white guys would make fun of Asians and for some reason some Asian girls around school would still date them. It felt like a betrayal because I had to stand up to these bastards and an Asian girl would feel special because her status was elevated for dating a white guy.

[isaacmartinez]

It's great to hear conversation about topics that we may not know about. Thanks Fung Bros.

[colinz]

Respect to the fung bros for discussing such a sensitive topic which people refuse to speak to.

[atlnla]

I’m a black man and I have lots of platonic female friends in America (I’m from LA) and here in China where I’ve lived for quite a few years now, and I think they’re both (white men and Asian women) fetishizing each other. I see white guys here in China that could never get a date if they were in LA where I live, and girls are starry eyed over them. While at the same time those guys are looking for the “stereotypical” subservient Asian female, and the girls seem to play into it.

[Shinobi_x.ehdits]

This convo needs to be had. There’s so much to be said in many areas. I’m curious to see what’s on others minds about this.

[micmorgan]

It does seem that Asian American women seem to date white men more then females of other ethnicities. What I find discerning is how some Asian women talk about why they date white men and openly put down Asian men but I’ve yet to see Asian men do the same when talking about dating outside of their ethnicity. I see it with some black men who date white women as well.

[Kencival]

As an Asian american male, I can see why people would think that Asian women prefer white males.

I’ve never really let that bother me tbh. Ive dated and been with Asians and non Asian. It’s about the person and if you respect their culture and learn from it
If you come across Asian women who have this “preference”, move on.


You don’t want these Asian women anyway. They already have a preconceived opinion and it’s not your job to save them.

[CashFruit]

Maybe I should write an article from the perspective of a white woman married to an Asian man... I feel like men will flirt with me and ignore or stare down my husband! I feel like they are constantly trying to assert dominance over him.

[joelk]

It's always strange to me that asian women like to complain that white men pursue them when in reality the pursuing goes both ways. I have many asian girl friends who white guys but don't explicitly admit it.

And I really hate to say it, but asian women date white men because being white in America is seen as favorable and privileged. So passing that whiteness on to their kin is seen as a positive thing. It's instincts. Maybe it will change in the next few decades.

[ÚLfurTheIcelandicGeordie]

Im Icelandic my wife is Chinese, i think asian women have some qualities over a lot of western women, they are very loyal, and value families and seeing relationships and families as units. I think that might be big reason why many Scandinavian men prefer asian women over western. And at the end of the day theyre eye shape is soo beautiful, i remember as kid when i was watching model shows on TV with my mom(yes me and my mom are very close) i used to find the asian women always most beautiful

[nikosv]

Asian guys seem to have a lot of self control - RESPECT!!!
