The blogger Half Sigma thinks so, and not because he has any objection to interracial dating per se:

He seemed to forget that the Chinese have killed off a bunch of their daughters out of chauvinism. In 10 years some of these boys in Chinese high schools are going to be engaging in some pretty odd and frequent homosexual activities as they will outnumber the girls 3 to 1.

It will be almost as bad as an ERAU campus.

I'm sorry I don't speak that language. It

1. indicates the value of girls for some first generation immigrants (such as Chinese) and possibly 2nd generation.

2. Once you go white, you know you're right.  Wink

No hate hear.

There is a well known lack of women in China right now. The future effects of this are hard to gauge. But there will be millions of Chinese men that will NEVER have a chance to marry.

It was my understanding that there have been kidnappings, where a woman has been taken to become a wife.

Hopefully women will slowly start to become more valued in the overall Chinese culture. Though this applies more to the rural Chinese.

That is one hell of an interesting argument that the blogger is making.

From the article:

June, a young Asian woman who works in engineering and who lists sci-fi and "manga" as some of her hobbies, says the following about Asian men:

There is a definite trend in society for Asian girls to prefer to date white guys rather than Asian guys and my friend finds this insulting. Of the reasons I wouldn't want to date Asian guys are: they're chauvinistic, uncaring, lazy, not independent, weak willed, selfish, etc...


I'm sorry, June, but your argument is flat out ridiculous. Try not stereotyping every guy you meet based on his ethnic background and you might have more success in the dating game.

There is nothing wrong with white men dating Asian women or black men dating white women or Alabama fans dating Auburn fans or whatever.

"Trend" in dating? No wonder there are so many divorces these days. I date individuals not races. The assumption that all individuals of a particular race have a behavioral pattern oozes idiocy.

People are dumb.  Yeah sure

When I was in college (1981-1985) at a major research university in northern California I attended a panel discussion on interracial dating. As there was a sizable population of Asian-Americans at this university, much of the discussion focused on the large number of Asian-American females who dated caucasian males. When the discussion turned to this, almost to a person the Asian-American women on the panel said they preferred white guys to Asian men because, and I quote exactly what they said: "Asian guys are wimps." This was said by the Asian-American female students on the panel. Their bluntness was astonishing to hear, especially since, coming from Asian-American women, it sounded so "poltically incorrect." I will never forget this.

I've dated Asian women before, and I have to say, I don't really take the Asian men into consideration. I'll date who I like, I won't stop dating Asian women because Asian men are having a hard time finding something to do Friday night.

First of all, define 'Asian'. That can include a huge range of different nationalities, cultures, religions. Japanese, Chinese (with it's regional sub-groups), Korean, Vietnamese, Philippine, Laotian, Hmong, Thai, Indian, Indonesian, and many others are 'Asian'. Then you have a wide range of faiths from Protestant or Catholic Christian, Confucianism, Buddhist, Hindu and others.
While many find it acceptable for a white American or European male to date a Asian women, you might find sadly too many in the USA finding Black American men dating Asian women to be wrong. In the USA, more important factors would be level of education, if the woman is seeking citizenship, or a sense of financial security. I do know of several guys who married very nice and accomplished Chinese women and have children. In one case one guy I know is half Syrian and Dutch, his wife immigrant Chinese. What an interesting mix those kids are.

I would have to disagree, Junie dear. My half-Asian husband is amazing!  cloudnine 

As far as the main article: I have heard black women say the same thing about black guys dating white women. A white friend of mine dated a couple of black guys and really got hounded for it by her black women friends. They really resented her for it.

Hmm well it depends. As long as two people are happy then love knows no colour or race!!! I do have doubts when I see a dirty old man with a teenage Thai girl though. I just have an idea that the girls are desperate and only with them because they want to better their life. Its something I see and find hard to shrug off my perceptions.

I've dated asian guys. If dating asian women is wrong, then it must be equally wrong to date asian men?

Nah.  Smile As long as you don't pay for the bride and she's not half your age, of course... it depends - it can be equally wrong and right to date caucasians if you're caucasian or blacks if you're black. It's all the circumstances...

Is it wrong to buy an Asian woman/girl and marry her - even though she might be against it- just because she's beautiful and her family needed the money anyway? Yes. And it would be with any other woman of any other nationality too.

Is it wrong to marry an Asian woman because you fell in love, she accepted your proposal and she seems to be in love with you too? No. And it wouldn't be regardless of the woman's nationality.

It have many gay asian friends and they often seem to be more interested to date someone white as well, also when I am in asia I get way more (unwanted) attention from girls and women then anywhere else. It would be interested to hear from straight asian men (or lesbian asian women) if they would also rather date western girls or if they look down less on 'their own race'.

Wow, shes makes us guys of Asian Origin feel a whole lot better about ourselves, even if we've been brought up and raised in a western society, speaking english and going to school with whites, blacks and brown people all our lives.

If Asian girls like white guys, good for them but I hope not everyone groups us 'chinky males' into a basic unfortunate stereotype. Been on the recieving end of that, aint a nice feeling I'll tell you that much, but hey racial difference is part of life and its everywhere.

There are stereotypes about asian girls and other races as well, some not so nice things, I wonder why this wasn't brought up... Eek

As for the original question. If Asian guys outnumber girls by 3-1 in future, then we better look 'offshore' as well then  Wink All the girls that have ever thought or think about me in that way to my knowlege have been white, so good to know some people still don't group everyone based on colour...

Interesting comments though, I once met an asian girl that hated all asians, or so she said.... Go figure

My experience is somewhat different. I dated a first generation Korean-American woman in the Houston area back in 2000. The relationship was very conflictive because she had an issue with me not being Asian. I am Caucasian. Particularly she had a problem, and her family had a problem with me not being Korean. They also had an issue with them being Episcopalian and me Catholic. In the end it got to be too much. Even though I tried to learn Korean, get an interest in the culture, even go to Episcopalian services. I got tired of not being Korean. Sad really, as otherwise, she was a wonderful girl.

I did get a feel for Korean cuisine, specially quim-chi. My love for quim-chi lasts to this day.
