The online dating website "Are You Interested" recently surveyed more than 2.4 million interactions on its site and confirmed what many of us suspect: America loves Asian women.
I am a caucasian male, who has always been very attracted to asian girls. Specifically Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Chinese. I am a member of the regular dating sites okcupid, eharmony and chemistry, but I am not having a lot of luck finding my true love. Any tips?
有个名叫罗兰(Lauren Smash)的亚裔姑娘也曾因此沾沾自喜。时常被白人汉子示好的她一度以为，是自己的个人魅力、或是亚洲女性的某些独特魅力“征服”了歪果仁。 但是渐渐地，罗兰发现事情不那么对劲。 在她写的文章Yellow Fever: Dating As An Asian Woman里，有这样几个片段让她细思恐极——
When I was Internet dating a couple years ago, a guy told me that he had found me by searching for only Asian women. Well, that’s one way to use the Search function on okcupid.
“What kind of Asian are you?”? and “Say some things in your language,” are deemed suitable ice breakers and pickup lines for men who hit on me at parties, clubs, and bars.
I’ve been told on multiple occasions that I could make a living in porn because I am an Asian woman with big breasts. Every time it was meant as a compliment.
4. 她的前男友和她说，自己只看亚洲妹子出演的色情片。还希望她对此不要介意(甚至以此感到自豪?)。
An ex once casually told me that he almost exclusively watches Asian fetish porn, assumed that I would be okay with it, and then got upset with me when I hinted that he might possibly be doing something racist.
I opened the laptop of ANOTHER ex to check my email, and I saw that he had searched “asian”?on a porn site and was halfway through a video with a bunch of white guys ejaculating on an Asian woman’s face.
'Yellow fever' fetish: Why do so many white men want to date a Chinese woman?
在文章中，她把西方男人“迷恋”亚洲女性的归结为以下两个直接而粗暴的原因——
1. 'Sexually free' 更开放容易的性
许多白人都认为中国(亚洲)的女性在涉及“性”的方面其实比白人姑娘要更加开放。
I've heard my Caucasian friends recommend to their male, single mates that they should date “nice Chinese girls”, with the added bonus that Chinese women are far more sexually open-minded than Caucasian girls.
In an open letter to the culture minister earlier this year, actors from The British East Asian Artists (BEA) criticised the BBC and other outlets for their cultural stereotyping of East Asians on TV and stage – describing the female parts as “passive and submissive”.
Elizabeth Chan, a British Chinese actress, says acting has offered an insight into how society sees Chinese women, calling parts on offer to her “massively stereotypical”.
"It’s rare to see a Chinese character written that is ‘normal’ or ‘well rounded’," says Chan, naming a set of typical roles that include: hard-working businesswoman; exotic, gentle flower; illegal immigrant selling DVDs or turning to prostitution (someone once actually yelled “selling DVDs?” at me from across a parking lot).
