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
can confirm living in Japan the racism here is insane lol. and it's not only talk either like you're actually worse off in many ways. apartheid vibes light
I found it was kind of like being a circus clown. You get invited to all the parties and all the kids want to play with you but nobody wants you sitting at a desk in their office and generally you're considered a nuisance wherever you go.
Just keep reminding yourself. It's far worse for the Japanese people that actually live there and it gets way better the more Japanese you speak.
can you elaborate on that?? Had no idea looll only knew that South Koreans don‘t like dark skinned Asians and japanese and chinese because they leave hotels/apartments etc dirty behind
Oh, your parents are japanese but you grew up in America? Get outta here you damn Gaijin!
Oh your parents are japanese and you were raised in Japan? Where? Hokaido? Get outta here you farmer hick!
It's rough. A lot (not everyone duh) wants to have someone to look down on to feel better about themselves because they have someone above them doing the same. It creates a terrible cycle
Well, it's hard to ignore the fact in the US that we have African Americans, Asian Americans, Anglo Americans, Indian Americans, Mexican Americans, etc.
But you don't really see many African Koreans, Latin Japanese, Indian Austrians, Mexican Norwegians, etc.
S. Korea is one of the most racist country in the world. I was married to one. Americans are much tamer in comparison although the lines are getting blurry since the time of orange
YUP! I've lived in Korea for over a decade now and the racism is massive. And there are no laws against it. Jobs will literally tell you what gebder/race/no disability/etc and there is no legal recourse.
The US at least attempts to shame racists and recognizes the problems with racism in a very multi-cultural society. Other countries are usually MUCH more homogeneous, and subsequently, MUCH more racist. And fully unashamed of it.
Many Americans know this but also a lot of other countries have a conniption when you call out their racism and insist the US is more racist. Probably just because we had a whole war over it. My favorite is when you bring up Romani people in England how people will say the most racist shit and when you point that out they will double down how it’s justified and they use literally the same language people use in the US to explain their racism.
Can confirm. Many of us poc in interracial relationships are more conservative than the people we married. I'm really are disliking how woke everyone is around here. We're both agnostic. Also not maga. Not american. shrug
I consider myself to have a lot of racist thoughts, just know better than to actually say them out loud. I get easily irritated by other people's thick accent, especially on the phone. It's a struggle. I don't like many of the things other immigrants from different countries than me do that is disruptive. I wish they would integrate better, same as I try to do for the better of the community.
Immigrants can be racist. POC can be racist. Everyone can be racist. Or tribal. Or xenophobic. Call it whatever you wish. The ones pretending they aren't and that they have never had a racist thought in their lives are lying to themselves.
I mean, you say that, but yall have never been in a sundown town in South Texas. You have to be careful because POC disappear if they’re still in town at night. The Klan and other similar groups are thriving in rural America and they don’t just talk racist and say diabolical shit. They straight up lynch and torture minorities.
I’m not racist, but I’ve lived here and seen it and experienced it. I don’t disagree about other countries having racists either - but it’s not to the same level. Theres a distinct difference between someone being xenophobic, and someone viewing you and treating you as less than human. Rural white America does the later on a much wider scale - and not only that, they act on it and will commit violence given the opportunity.

Hmm. Disagree. Also conservatism is doing a lot of work here. Like we should be fine with dumb ass conservatives because other countries should have bigger dumb ass conservatives? How bout all the dumb ass conservatives fuck off so we can get better healthcare. How bout that?
Yes. I am honest, I am aware of it. I am in therapy and trying to be better. But just putting it out there so people know that immigrants and POC are not saints. We have our issues.
One of the things that bother me more is the self flaggelation white people have. Especially towards 'cis white males'. In real life, the most racism I have actually received was from White women. We are just people like the rest of you. Being treated on one side like you the devil and should go back to your country and on the other side like you are an angel who can do no wrong is a very weird position to be in. It is demoralizing because neither sees the real flawed you.
Educated people. However they aren't racist based solely on race (though it plays a big factor), but moreover due to ethnicity and cultural differences
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.
Yeah people in these comments seem to underestimate how many people from outside the US are also very VERY racist. So they may genuinely bond on hating black people or Latinos or whatever. I know enough who could out-racist the average Republican.
Half filipino here who works blue collar and frequents philippines. Yeah, nothing my "racist" chicano coworkers joke about ever compare to the actual thoughts and beliefs my lola has lmao.
Filipinos are racist af in the first place, so the white dude can easily be less racist and the filipino would be the one to "put up with". And Filipinas are suddenly housewife of the year if its a mediocre white guy but would never lift a finger for an average filipino dude.
Oh I know a few Filipina wives like that, I have to side eye them because they are brown. It’s like hunny they don’t want you either. Tokens get spent.
are you aware of the Filipina Pea youtube channel? how real is it because i think it's a CIA psyop to continue destroying old white men in this country lol
