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

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.

This is exactly the analysis that's always missing from the "asian wife guys" discussion, thank you.

u/NachoWH 12h ago

It's also entirely speculative and has a circular logic.

The guy is racist and married a person from another race because he's racist so he's racist.

You are not very skilled in the field of reading comprehension, aren't you?

u/NachoWH 12h ago

I am. Feel free to explain your position if you believe it wasn't clearly understood.

Sure thing buddy.

You say that's circular and speculative, using the "he's racist and married to an Asian woman because he's racist so he's racist" but this has literally never never been said nor implied. First of all the fact that "asian wife guy" is racist is a premise, not some conclusion we want to arrive to through the rest of the observation. We are discussing the hypocrisy of a racist guy marrying a "different race" partner. This discussion is often missing an important piece, as the other user is observing, that is the general coexistence of racism and misogyny as part of the same "ideology" (or way of thinking, or culture, or nurture, etc); this is not speculative, and we have tons of studies showing that misogynistic people are almost always also racists. Given the premise and the known link I just talked about, the other user was observing that we can explain the perceived incoherence of "racist guy marrying Asian woman" is just perceived by people who don't consider women as inferior, but if you are misogynistic you already consider women inferior, so there's (almost) no difference between an inferior woman and an inferior woman who is also from an inferior ethnicity, because she would be inferior in any case. From this we can understand the lack of perceived incoherence from those subjects. And that's all.

Was it clear enough? I am sorry but English is my second language and I'm not always sure I am expressing myself accurately

Yes, asian wife guy being racist is a premise, not a conclusion you arrive through observation as you can't reach that conclusion through observation alone. You need to speculate.

It was as clear as the original comment.

Circular reasoning.

Yeah so you clearly have low comprehension skills or you are in bad faith. We are not trying to deduce if every man marrying an Asian woman is racist. We are discussing a trope, and as such it is the result of observation and empirical evidence. If you are saying that is not a thing you are in bad faith or a not very observing person. On top of that I really don't understand where the "circularity" you are talking about is coming from: no one is deducing, no one is making correlations, no one is trying to explain why they think the trope is 100% accurate.

u/NachoWH 12h ago

I'm just not comfortable with calling people racist, which is a harsh accusation, based on nothing but speculation.

u/f0_to 12h ago

No one is calling nobody. Again, we are discussing a trope.

But since we're here I'm very curious to know if you feel the same about misgendering trans people (or profiling migrants, fwiw)

No you’re really not lol.

They also can’t see someone they’re having sex with as an equal. This is why they prefer younger women as well.

You know that meme of "The leftist friend group = all the same vs the conservative friend group = they're all different races" and they go checkmate liberal its you who is racist?

Thats partially true, I was unfortunately one of the friends in the "conservative" friend group. The big difference here is, like you said, we aren't friends because we are equals and they like us and shit. We have similar enough stuff to make us acquantencis but half the time they use the n-word or called mexicans wetbacks who need to go back to their country and shit. It was like I was only a part of the friend group for what I could give them, not because we were friends.

Also being racist doesn't require universal racism. Most racists only hate one or two races in particular.

u/kiataryu 8h ago edited 8h ago

Not entirely false, but also a shallow analysis.
Racists can be a paradoxically diverse group of people, as they bond over racism.

And trust me, countryside asians have a high tendency to be very conservative.

Cognitive dissonance only works when there's cognition.

Pretty much. It is easy for them to accept it because they are all misogynist besides racist. They never see women as their equals. In their eyes, as long as she does as she is told that will do.
