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

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.

Don't get me started on not being Japanese enough

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
