The problem is that it's overwhelmingly White males with Asian women. It's not like it goes both ways which is why it's a topic always discussed. I went to NYU and even back east it's a huge phenomenon and it's an open joke that Jewish men lust after Asian women and vice versa. My sister is one of these self hating women, along with most of her friends. Their excuse will be, Ohhh it's because they are not as shy as Asian men. Oh I like how tall they are etc. Then when you follow up with, oh really? So what about all the other groups of NON white men who may fit that category, i.e. Latinos, Blacks, etc etc. It's always ohhh I'm not attracted to them. They want to have hapa babies and show off their round eye white looking children to all their self hating friends. P.S. I'm dating an Asian woman before any of you say I'm jealous or something silly.
There is a segment of asian women that date outside their ethnic group because they don't want to have to deal with the male-dominated cultural expectations.

This coming from a former co-worker who had a spoiled lazy butt brother treated like a king in the family while the daughters were expected to excel. Keep in mind that she would never date a non-asian, she was just very picky about dating asian guys that had a decidedly western cultural view.

That's another excuse used, not all us Asians are FOBs with a Kim Jong Il complex that expect women to be in the kitchen and make sons. Some of us are 5th generation Americans no different than anybody else here culturally. It's a facade put up by self hating Asian women who want to be white. Why do you think Double Eye surgery is so big in the Asian community. Who's doing this more? Men or Women. Of course it's the women to be more attractive to their European white knights.

Um...my sarcasm can't be proven. Try proving to me you're a man and not a little girl.

BTW, I was in a relationship with a black man back in my twenties for 9 months or so--I can't prove that either. I'm not sending photos to you or giving you his name but he was known in San Francisco by a lot of SF locals back in the day..

You seem dedicated to shoving a complex situation involving the different attitudes of millions of asian women into a neat little singular causation.

FYI- The gal I referenced before DESPISED the idea of dating a white guy lol. She was quite opinionated and felt that white guys only wanted to date asian women because they stereotyped and wanted her to be subservient.

Because some things are not overly complex. It's basically the colonial mentality. Frantz Fanon wrote in detail about this. Years of European domination in Asian and on television plays a major part in this. Skin bleaching is huge in Asia, many people are scared to go in the sun out of fear of getting darker, and looking like a "lower class" person. They think dark = low class and poor. If I saw more Asian women dating all types of men it wouldn't be as simple as what I've observed. Rather it's Asian women exclusively dating white men in droves.

Lots of women in the Bay Area seem to display this bizarre and irrational preference for white men. Particularly in SF. In many cases it doesn't matter how charismatic or rich you are.
Maybe it's just you.

Asians are the most affluent and educated race in America. They also comprise only 4.8% of the population. Whites comprise 63% of the U.S population. When it comes to education and affluence, whites are closest to Asians. It only makes sense that Asians are more likely to be with whites - there are more whites to choose from, and statistically speaking, those whites are likely to be richer and more educated.

The problem with your theory is that is doesn't apply to both Asian men as well as Asian women. Its a one-way street between white males and asian females.

Where are all the "highly educated" asian guys with "highly educated" white girls?

Dunno, maybe white girls are like black girls, and they're more likely to stay with the same race.

Maybe it's the historical fact that women generally have gone for men who are good providers - rich and educated men are more likely to be good providers.
