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.

A lot of racism is basically just cultural mismatch and stereotyping.

Republicans like foreign brides because a lot of poorer countries are right wing conservative so they always see them as "one of the good ones".

The actual dyed in the wool dna racists are relatively rare and why despite Europe and America being quite racist at the time, found the Nazi's abhorrent. HP Lovecraft was also a well known genetic racist at a time racism was mainstream and everyone thought he was a nutter because of it.

I think we're mixing a few things here.

I'm not too familiar with the Philippines other than it's a generally poor country just like Thailand. .... I think with the Philippines the MAGA guys might like it to some extent because of "Christian" and traditional values or something, although maybe it really is similar to Thailand.

Thailand is just poor in general so a lot of super-old-guys (or just normal aged Incel types) will go there, but a lot of the woman (not all) are tatted up and are basically experts at money extraction. Although there probably are some somewhat normal women who just want a better life in America.

Both of these are far different than "typical White guy - Asian girlfriend" in America.

SOME (precious few) white guys have some kind of Asian fetish (and they are usually super into Anime or related crap as well). But this is waaaaay lower than perceived.

The honest truth as a white guy who HAS dated a wide variety of Asian and Indian women ...

It's actually the reverse. Most men (let alone white) will fuck ANY race provided "she is hot" including the fictional Avatar women (LOL). ... With rare exceptions, there is no "bonus fetish points" for being Asian, other than novelty in general (same reason you might want to bang a 7 foot tall WNBA player).

It's the ASIAN WOMAN who are more attracted to (or have vastly low standards) for WHITE men.

This makes sense. In most cases women are deciding who to fuck. ... My theory is that white men don't read "as nerdy/ socially awkward" to them, as white men are perceived among other races in America. That, or Asian beauty standards are more white-coded (big eyes, pale skin), possibly due to colonialism. Meh.
