So for those of you that don't feel like reading such a long-winded article, allow me to summarize for you.
- Women in America do not find Asian men date-able.
- This is the fault of modern American culture and history that have emasculated the Asian American man.
- There are 4 options for Asian American men who suffer from datelessness
- Try very VERY hard and date anything that moves. Dispose of your fears of rejection, cast out any dignity you thought you had and perhaps one day, you shall find happiness.
- Hate everyone because you're miserable and it's all their fault.
- Go back to and find a wife in the old country. You know, the ones that'll marry you for a green card.
- Move to another country where Asian men are not perceived in the way that they are in the US.
The recommendation of the author, a strong one I might add, is to take advice #4.
Apparently, in all other parts of the world, with the exception of British settlements such as Australia and well, Britain, Asian men are seen to be the creme of the crop in terms of mates due to their ability to provide for their family.
So naturally, if you can't find a date in the contiguous United States, go abroad!
Give me a break! What kind of an ignorant fool would say something like this?
I mean, sure, it's probably true that Asian men tend to get the short end of the stick when it comes to dating in the US but does that necessarily mean that the only viable solution is EXILE?
Seems a little extreme if you ask me. Were I more of a conspiracy theorist, I'd say that this was Republican propaganda used to subtly encourage the emigration of minorities, beginning with the ones that have posed the greatest threat to their share of the economic pie.
Personally, I'm a believer of creating change in the things you see unfit. It's true, the journey may be long and arduous and the moons will be many before the image of an Asian man can be presented in America without the undertones of asexuality, but if we approach these social constraints by surrendering with our hands in the air and our asses on the asphalt then what will become of the lives of our children and grandchildren?
Even though Blacks were faced with overt racism throughout much of post-Civil War history, did they say "Let's pack this shit up and go back to Africa?" Well, some did, but not others like Martin Luther King. No, he knew that if you were a citizen of the United States, this is your country and this is where you belong. If there's a problem with your house, you have to be the one to fix it, because God knows no one else is going to do it for you. The oppression of the minority has always been a central theme of human history but the power of change, more often than not, lies within a single generation of brave souls. All it takes is for one group of people to say "I just can't take this anymore." to get the snowball rolling.
If you call yourself Asian-American then this is your country and you have a responsibility to fix what is wrong with it. You are not the subject of some illusory round table of old male WASPs meeting on capitol hill to plot your demise. You are not the helpless immigrants that your parents once were, satisfied with simply being able to etch out a living and being left alone. You are not escaping persecution and you have not been imprisoned here. You are not powerless. You are American and this is your country. Own it.
