They definitely are less accepting. They only exist in LA/SF/NY for a reason. Filipinos are the first by far. Japanese are towards the bottom.
In Texas we have some huge Japanese companies (Toyota, Daikin, 7-Eleven, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries) yet our population is insanely small for Japanese.
While it's anecdotal, I'm the son of Japanese/white couple. I also have a good friend that is the same. I live in the Midwest. My experience has been Japanese are not at the bottom.
There are plenty of such pairings here in the Atlanta area (I know of some in my neighborhood), and no reason why they wouldn't be accepted just as much as any other couples. If Asian/White couples face any obstacles, it is usually from the older Asian family members who are very culturally traditional and have more rigidly defined expectations for their daughters, including marrying a man of the same nationality.
This doesn't apply in many Asian families of course, especially with the growing population who have been in the US often for as many or more generations as certain White families.
That is true, but the reality is that many ivy leagues, top schools, and exclusive communities are heavily leaning Asian American now.
Like it or not, this is true, but I think the wealthiest of the wealthiest neighborhoods are still predominately white. For example, I live in upper middle class urban which now feels majority Asian. Newport and Laguna Beach are predominantly white, not a lot of Asians.
In terms of first generation immigrants yes - Japanese emigration to anywhere has really slowed to a trickle in the last few decades. The newer “immigrants” are really expats, very wealthy, intracompany transferees in high up positions and their families. Probably not super likely to stay in the US permanently, let alone marry outside their race or even nationality.
But you’ve also got the second and third generation Japanese from prior eras that are way more assimilated into US culture. So it does actually make sense to me.
Exactly. Japan had been a first world nation for decades and there was less financial incentive for Japanese to emigrate to the US. Being accepting or not had little to do with it.
Let's face it asian/ white couples face very little discrimination. I can live with my wife pretty much anywhere.
I think that's the case too outside of unusual settings like Hawaii.
I had assumed this thread is about where white guys with yellow fevers can most easily date, than where such couples can live in peace.
I'd imagine that White men/Asian women couples face a lot of hate from Asian men and White women.
No. From my experience, the white men who date Asian women have a lot of Asian men friends, often times they were introduced to the Asian woman by an Asian male friend.
I doubt most white women would care, but not sure.
From my experiences: Los Angeles, Honolulu, Seattle, Atlanta, San Francisco, San Diego.
I haven’t spent enough time in other cities in the US to notice.
