But it's not true and based on her racist projection. Most long term male expats in Asia don't want white women. Most of my married friends who are long term expats in Asia (who are white) have married local women.Adama wrote:I think the white women there don't see it as a matter of submission or feminism. It is simply a matter of scarcity and novelty. She thinks it is just a novelty for Asian women and white men to go together, but that ultimately they'll want a white woman.
Not true again, again - we have to separate long term expats to folk who spend a year teaching ESL and go home. There are a lot of both - I am sure a lot of people who spend a year in Asia and go home will end up marrying women of their own race. Long termers who date local usually end up marrying local. I am sure I am not the only expat to notice this trend.Lots of races think that way, despite what others here will admit. We all know there are people of each race who will have sex with other races but ultimately will only marry their own race. This is what white women in China are thinking of. That is that white men are just playing around with Asian women because they can, but that ultimately they will simply marry a white woman.
Women tend to be more focused on finding men of their own race, men don't seem to bothered though there are a fair few who refuse to date local in Asia, it's a tiny minority, most expats in Asia who enter long term relationships with local women end up marrying a local woman. I know over a 100 long term expats in Asia and that has been the case for the vast majority of them - I am sure the same numbers compute for most long term expats in Asia.
I wake up and think 'Hmmm, I can have kids with an Asian woman' why can't I have kids with an Asian woman?They are not thinking in terms of quality or feminism or being spoiled. They are thinking in terms of men sowing oats or whatever, and then waking up and wanting kids.
There are different cultural mores at play, for a start, a lot of Chinese companies in Africa have strict anti-miscegenation rules in place regards their workers fratenising with the local Africans.As for white women not finding Asian men attractive, there are probably a lot of non-black men who might work in a country such as Nigeria and find themselves very lonely, despite the countless Nigerian women around them. Now would anyone knock a Chinese man working in Nigeria who wants a wife but not a Nigerian woman, but at least another Asian woman? Especially if there were Asian expat women working along side him in Nigeria.
In history, in places such as Panama, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and Peru (my great grandfather was from Canton) Chinese men married and had families with black and native American women. I am sure when the rules are more relaxed for Chinese workers in Africa - you will see a lot more mixing between Chinese men and black African women.
And of course, if cannot be compared to Western male expats in Asia - who are allowed to date the local populace without the threat of being sent home in disgrace.
