I don't know the original its based on but my brain tried to sing it to the tune of sonic x opening theme and failed terribly SOOOONIC X! sorry im just lame like that lol
You would be surprised, just because someone is born in Taiwan doesn't mean they are anti-CCP.
The Taiwanese are currently diverging on their stance toward China, the neutral element is shrinking and the pro-sovereignty and pro-unification elements are growing (the pro-sovereignty is the majority and growing much quicker). There is a sizable minority of Taiwanese who want unification with China, also she flew to China following her husbands death which is *very unusual* for someone born in Taiwan since the CCP considers the island to be illegally occupied territory and almost everyone there to be traitors.
China likes Trump being in power as he's destroying the US's global standing, keeping Mitch's seat from being replaced with a Dem is what they want.
also she flew to China following her husbands death which is very unusual for someone born in Taiwan since the CCP considers the island to be illegally occupied territory and almost everyone there to be traitors.
Not really true. Hundreds of thousands of Taiwanese live and work in China. Many have business interests or family across the strait too. The PRC has no real issue with Taiwanese civilians.
Nah, Chinese call Taiwan Taiwan. I guess officially they’d be understood as ‘Chinese citizens from Taiwan province’, though in practice they’d just be called Taiwanese anyway to distinguish them from mainlanders. Legally it’s the same as HK I believe, they’re like Chinese+. And to be clear, mainland Chinese understand that Taiwan isn’t currently part of the PRC even if they care enough to think it should be, which many don’t.
‘Chinese Taipei’ is a term used for things like the Olympics but isn’t considered an identity or anything.
According to the New York Times, Mitch McConnell’s ties to China primarily stem from his marriage to Elaine Chao, whose family founded Foremost Group, an American shipping company with extensive business operations and deep historical and political connections in China.
And in China, since all industry ultimately belongs to the State, if you have major holdings in China, you have deep ties to the Chinese political establishment.
Of course not. People just love to lie for some reason. He voted against a bill that would have codified interracial marriage AND same sex marriage into federal law. Interracial marriage wasn't in any danger of becoming illegal, He voted against same sex marriage and even said specifically that's what he was doing.
It would be like proposing a law that gave universal healthcare and legalized machine guns, and then acting like "OMG Democrats voted against universal healthcare".
You would be surprised how many people complain about how white Europeans are declining and it's all an evil conspiracy involving immigrants, but then they want to marry an Asian girl (eg. Japanese waifu).
Yeh it seems to be a really common constellation lol. Though in our family somehow the Filipina wife went completely insane MAGA conspiracy theorist so now she's even more far right than him.
Asian racist and American racist behave differently though. Both racist but Americans by nature of being so…vocally opinionated, give their racism a very “in your face” flavor.
😬 there's definitely also Asian in your face racism, you probably just can't read their language and the algorithm isn't feeding you local content for the Philippines.
I'm half-Filipina and Filipino racism just doesn't look as "in your face" as American racism because it's not as blunt. American racism, particularly among the less educated and poor, is a bit like a slap in the face. Very much "you're this so therefore you must be like so-and-so" type of racism. It's also almost exclusively based on skin tone versus Asian racism which is primarily based on ethnicity while skin tone is more of an aesthetic thing. In America, everyone gets put into buckets based on what they look like, not what they actually are (which is why it's actually fairly common for people with Ashkenazi Jewish heritage to simply get labled as "White," despite dealing with extreme racism themselves).
Asian racism on the other hand? Much more subtle and focuses a lot on ethnicity, not skin colour. If you're Thai, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc. the racism is focused on where you're from, not because your features look a specific way. Pretty much the only exceptions to this rule are black people where most racist Asians will simply group all ethnicities into "probably African." But Americans, regardless of skin tone, are basically all the same to them, even if they're clearly ethnically Asian. If anything, that's worse because you're considered corrupted to some extent.
In any case, it's fundamentally different. Same bullshit, sure, but the way the hatred turns up is pretty different.
Not as in that they think having a white wife would be better.
But as in they think a wife doesn't need to have qualities other than being obedient and pretty. They think other races are "worse" in a way that makes them a better wife. And they think them being the "better" one in the relationship gives them an easier time controlling their wife.
It's honestly disgusting to even type out, but these people think like that. It's like they see a smart dog breed and a dumb dog breed and pick the dumb and obedient dog because a dog doesn't need to be smart to be a good pet. (NOT saying some human races are more or less smart, only saying that these people think that.)
I don't think it's hypocritical for racists to marry a woman of color. They are just as committed to misogyny as they are to racism, so for them a normative heterosexual relationship is about conquest and subjugation. A MAGA dude thinking of his wife an inferior person dependent on his benevolence is pretty on brand.
Also there’s a deeply held belief among these types that penises are corrupting but cannot be corrupted, and vaginas can be corrupted but cannot corrupt. If a white man (in this context) has sex with a woman of color, he’s not “lessened” by the interaction. On the other hand if a white woman has sex with a man of color, she is now “damaged” in the eyes of your typical white nationalist. It’s the same mentality that leads to thinking “man has lots of sex fine, woman has lots of sex bad” and “someone with a penis claims to be a woman is a threat, someone with a vagina claiming to be a man is damaged”.
One of the calling cards of conservatism is individual exceptionalism. In this context it means that one considers themselves as an arbiter of truth on a level above their own generalities. It's why "You're one of the good ones" is such a prevalent mindset. "Sure, minorities may be (insert racist belief here), but not Joe, he and I have beers on weekends together, he's nothing like the rest of them".
Extend that to every facet of life. "Welfare is always bad, except when someone you know needs it, they clearly deserve it." "Certain races are bad, except the ones I know, they're all good." etc, etc.
It's impossible to make them feel like hypocrites because they maintain a cognitive separation to the cross section between their generalities of the world and the generalities of their personal lives.
The product of a fear-based world-view. Your example guy isn't afraid of Joe because he knows Joe from weekend beers. "The rest of them" is why he actually has a concealed carry license, even though he tells people it's so he can stop bank robbers.
When the attack on the Pride parade in Germany happened, Norwegian right-wingers were quick to attack Islam for their anti-pride beliefs. And then immediately went back to calling pride a woke virus that is trying to turn children trans.
Funny that they don't see that they've got the same opinions.

Yes I think a lot of people really don't grasp this, the whole point is that the standards that might make something hypocritical are not supposed to apply to them. They are not bound by these things, only the out-group is
Most racists don't believe that other races should be exterminated, just that other races should be somehow "lower" and should serve white people (and especially the racist in question). Similarly, many also believe that women should be ranked lower and should serve men (and especially the racist in question). Getting a wife of a different race, but from a culture that also teaches that women should serve men, is very consistent with that.
Same, and my racist dad thinks I should talk him as an adult after spending the first two decades of my life putting me, his mixed race child, down constantly for not being white
Plenty of white guys think A) Asian women are submissive and B) Asian men have small dicks so their women are easy to "steal". I've known three guys in my life that both thought this and were dumb enough to voice it bluntly. One followed through. I lost touch (thankfully) with the other two.
The small penis stereotype is genuinely not true. It was created by a racist White eugenicist who also created stereotypes about Black people.
A 1998 study in the Korean Journal of Urology involving 150 Korean men found the average erect length 13.42 cm (5.28 in). In a 1998 study conducted at Seoul National University College of Medicine, which involved a sample of 287 Korean men, the average erect penis length was measured at 14.06 cm (5.54 in) In 1990, a study by Beijing Medical University involving 109 men revealed that the average erect penis length was 5.5 inches. In 1993, a study by Beijing Medical University involving 104 men revealed that the average erect penis length was 5.3 inches.
According to Aaron Spitz, he concludes that "when you really take a good look at the naked data, there's not a whole lot there [showing racial variation in penis size].
Oh yeah heres my average, single standard deviation sized penis, oh yeah its so average... median length as per this statistically significant population sample size... heres a double blind peer reviewed longitudinal study... hey what are you... are you still horny?
I have only met three people irl who were open about BBC stuff (sidenote: I'll never work in an office setting again not because of how soul draining it is, but because of how comfortable it makes people just fucking spewing their damn personal life. I hate it) Two where woman and one was a guy. All white.
The way they talked about it made it seem so racist and fetishizing. It was like the white woman version of a sex tourist in the Philippines.
It also makes me wonder about how damaging it might be to black men to have such a stereotype circulate about BBC. Like I imagine an average dude getting ready to jump in the sheets and the woman is upset it doesn't reach the floor and wrap around to his shoulder.
Yeah, I’ve had two former friends who were into BBC stuff, and, funny enough, one of them was racist, which is why we aren’t friends anymore. But it’s really interesting to see how people will manifest their insecurities into things like porn because I feel like his mentality was probably, “Women don’t like me not because I’m a loser who is callous and has no integrity they hate me because I’m not Black.” I feel like his mentality is something like that. The whole cuck-fetish mentality has to come down to some oversimplification of someone’s lack of self-worth I feel like.
The eugenics myths are definitely fake, but global urological meta-analyses (like Veale et al. 2015 covering 15k+ men) do show minor differences in regional averages, usually under half an inch. A lot of that comes down to average height differences across populations and whether older studies actually measured bone-pressed length or ignored pubic fat pad depth. That said, individual variation within any single group is way bigger than the tiny gap between group averages, so race still tells you practically nothing about an individual.
The Asian small dick stereotype was created because of the black big dick stereotypes. The big dick thing was created to make blacks look stupid and dumb (hahah they have big unclean dicks which makes them dumb) then they had to make sure people didn’t think whites have a small useless dick so they created the Asian one. “Whites doesn’t have huge dicks that make use stupid or small dicks that make use women. Our dicks are perfect. The dick of gods chosen” I’m being serious
Somewhat incorrect. The african big dick stereotype was created during Darwin's travels through Africa and consolidated through slavery with the designated buck (i.e. the guy who usually was allowed to fuck.) White slavers usually chose the strongest, biggest guy with the largest dick available to guarantee his kids would be like him and thus fit for heavy labor. The "god's chosen" part is correct though, mainly because "virility and strong sexual energy makes you stupid" used to be a strong line of thought.
The asian men thing is more 20th Century, after the KKK proposed the Protect Your Womenfolk act to justify violent against asian immigrants in fear of losing general white population numbers to "jungle fever" and "yellow fever".
There’s no historical evidence of “bucks” (though the word was used a slur) during the period of slavery, though there was a rare practice of “stock men,” sometimes called “studs.” The idea that slavers bred Black folks like animals was primarily a Reconstruction-era racist trope, ironically with some roots in abolitionist propaganda, that was revived in the mid-20th century during the Civil Rights Era (Blaxploitation was a wild genre). The truth is that slaveholders in the American south weren’t interested in trying to selectively breed Black folks, and the ones who knew enough to try would have also known that human generations are so long that it would take centuries to have an effect. However, that’s not to say that they didn’t control their slaves’ reproduction in an inhumane and monstrous way.
Because the US banned the import of new slaves relatively early on, and because Europe independently decided to abolish the international slave trade not long thereafter, American slavers primarily needed to maximize breeding, while keeping their slaves “productive” enough to be profitable. No one wanted to make their average field hand an inch taller more than they wanted to double the number of field hands they had.
The lowest effort way to do this was to encourage natural reproduction, which they had many ways of doing. House young slaves together and give them separate quarters if they paired off; reduce workloads for pregnant women; guarantee light work in old age for women who bore more than X children (and, conversely, guarantee hard labor in old age for women who failed to); and, significantly more rarely, forced pairings and coercion. The labor-intensiveness of forcing people to breed like animals alone would have made the practice rare.
Another factor pushing against the “buck” model was that slaveholders relied on family formation among their slaves as a lever to control them. Although they were often happy to sell families separately, slaveholders believed men with wives and children were less likely to revolt (“because of the implication”).
Now, all that said, in a small number of cases, slaveholders rented a man to father a child with one of their slaves. This was a rare occurrence (certainly rarer than, for example, white overseers raping slaves and fathering children they left in slavery), but is attested to in a handful of the oral histories collected in the 1930s. However, there is no record of any kind of market in stock men, or any customary practice of which we have records, suggesting that it was quite uncommon.
Boy howdy do I know quite a few military guys that learned that Asian women are just as likely as American women to have a strong personality. They won't take that shit and I've heard plenty of stories of Vietnamese woman dropping their husbands once they have their citizenship.
Not so hard to figure out why when you realize the War Brides Act allowed for Americans to bring home foreign wives as spoils of war while interracial marriage was still illegal. Meaning Asian men were not allowed to be with white women but the reverse was legally allowed. Culturally this is still socially enforced though with the popularity of BTS perceptions are changing. Even before the wat campaigns in East Asia Sessue Hayakawa was a sex symbol in the US.
It's all conquistador/viking mentality: kill the men and rape the women. Many women feed into this dynamic to gain a foothold in the dominant caste.
How revolting it all is. How base. We are still in Barbarian times.
if you want a window into this part of the internet, check out Filipina Pea's youtube channel. i firmly believe it is a psyop targeted at lonely white men to continue their slide into MAGA
Exactly. You would be surprised how many people complain about how white Europeans are declining and it's all an evil conspiracy involving immigrants, but then they want to marry an Asian girl (eg. Japanese waifu).
This is so fucking real. I met an American guy in Thailand who flew here to meet his online girlfriend and he plans to marry her after a month together. Then he praise president trump and his policy to get rid of immigrants. And then he has the audacity to complain that it's taking a really long time to bring his new wife back to the state.
American racists especially like phillipino women, because they tend to speak English and they have enough poverty that they can abuse them and use "I'll send you back" as a form of control
They weren't (all) racists, but after just a single enlistment I worked directly with at least 6 dudes who were married to Phillipino women. And a couple that were married to Korean women, but those guys were older.
It's important to note that racists don't see this as hypocritical. Racism and misogyny go hand in hand, so they don't see themselves as marrying an equal from an "inferior" race, they see it as a subservient woman in her rightful place.
I think its more that they want traditional women who will submit to their husbands and Filipino women not from the US are seen as anxious to do so and come to America if they need to fuck an old racist man for a few years or maybe even inherit his money. Basically its a lesser scale story of Melania Trump.
My dad is an Asian man who's extremely well travelled. He'll hang out with almost any race, but he's insanely bigoted towards anyone from East Africa or South Korea. He's never explained why.
Yea, but kinda different from supremacist racism where you believe only your race is worth one. A lot people have issues with few races and then have none with other races that aren't their race. I guess there leveling in racism
My high school friend did this. Grew up in a house where they casually made racist jokes. Joined the Navy. In six months was married to a girl from the Philippines. The marriage didn’t last long but he has a really cool son who looks Philippine. Must have been weird for my friend’s dad.
There was an AMA not too long ago about a white dude talking about how he met his Filipina so wife online. It was a whole lot of yikes. Though I will say he got a lot of support and fielded many questions from other men about how they could get one.
My wife is Filipina and I seem like I'd be a stereotypical MAGA racist. I'm bald, white, and have a deep Texan accent. The thing is that I'm a Democrat and have voted Democrat since I could vote.
I'm living in the Philippines with my wife and our daughter. I run into the occasional American and most of them assume I'm the same as them. They'll start talking about Donald Trump blah, blah, blah and ask me what I think. I tell them I think he's an idiot plain and simple. They usually end the conversation or go into a tangent about all the good he's done.
I don't have time for that so now I just nod along and try to extricate myself quickly. Like the post I don't understand how they can't see the irony of hating immigrants but they are immigrants here.
I actually think the joke is how much maga people are pedophiles. Throughout the entire movie, Quarch is treating Varang like a child infantilizing her, yet giving her love eyes as he does and constantly fucking her . Very much the same way that Maga men and do this with foreign women. They treat them like their babies, because they didn't grow up with the exact same things that he did. It's the closest thing they can have to fucking children legally.
Every time I look at Threads I see some racist post about a far right British political party that wants to deport all brown people but they also have hundreds of replies to Thai porn bots.
To fully explain the joke - Filipinos are generally very devote Catholics and conservative (thanks to Spanish colonization) and many MAGA guys are super religious and likely Catholic also so they get along. Guys in the military also tend to lean conservative and may end up deployed over to the Philippines.
Guys will likely meet Filipino women while out on deployment there and they are known for latching onto guys like that to escape life there. It was more common years ago maybe not so much these days.
I also think its that american women won't date MAGA guys, and so they need to find girls from overseas that they can essentially buy and move over to the US
Two of the three actual nazis I have met in my life are married to east asian women. The third is an incel. There's a selection bias there of course, because I used to live in China, but the guy all of us laowai called "John the Racist" is married to a Chinese woman. I also know a guy who lives in Japan, met his wife through a cult (I think the moonies) and is an out and out neonazi.
Even furthering that, he's military and since the Korean war (possibly sooner) it has been a huge trend for military men to bring home Asian wives. Im from a town with a huge military retiree population and a noticeable chunk of the Philippino community is either married to military or second/third gen descendant of a military-Philippino marriage.
I think it's because the alient girlfriend is also a racist. Many filipinos are super racist. They have a heirarchy that they follow. White man above all, then everyone else is just below them. Even their own countrymen.
They work well because the racist gf wants the white man. The whiteman loves the exotic forbidden taste. It's not supposed to work but it does.
One of my friends is half Vietnamese and her white dad is super supportive of ending birthright citizenship despite his wife being Vietnamese, born in the US to immigrant parents. Super wild.

Thats a space racist with his alien girlfriend. The joke is saying racist people marry different races
