“When you have Asian American women who are ignorant of history and that the desire from these people goes back to the colonization of Asian countries, the media portrayal of Asian women, and Asian American women being socialized into the White supremacist world of media, it makes perfect sense. Underlying it all is a form of racist love, not an equality. These Asian American women get hit on or propositioned by White men, but they don’t realize what lies beneath; that they’re coming onto you as a prostitute or massage woman, because that’s what they see, first and foremost, regardless of educational level. Conversely, an Asian American woman in White supremecist America will value anything White. I won’t say it’s instinctual, but almost at the preconscious level.”

-Prof Darrell Hamamoto, Asian American studies at UC Davis

The same kind of internalization of ‘White is Right’ also applies to self hating Asian American males, who lust after only White women, who they consider as better than Asian women.

How do we change that?

It’s funny people think “white is right” still when the US is doing so poorly.

There’s people who think White’s have it best and other who think they’re pure evil.

[How do we change that?]
I believe we fix how others see AA’s, and how AA’s see themselves, through better mass media images of AA’s as 3-d, human, normal people.
