To asian and Hispanic girls: Is dating a white man really viewed as "better" in your culture?

Some asian women have told me it is but never said why. I dont want to generalize but i want to understand why. When i asked latinas i noticed the ones that havent been living here long say yes, while the ones that grew up or were born in the US say no and in fact there’s resentment. That’s a bit contradicting. Please explain.
ONLY ASIAN AND HISPANIC GIRL ANSWERS PLEASE
im not trying to say I THINK this way, more like some people i’ve met have conveyed that message. Anyone will date whoever they want which is cool

Better than what? If you think Asian people would rather see their daughters marrying white men than Asians you are flattering your race too much. I’m pretty sure Hispanic parents would rather their daughters stay in their race too. Who the heII do you people think you are?

    I can only share with you my personal experiences. 2 white women from the past i slept with smell like wet chicken after they started sweating and skin turning red from the 8.5in Mandingo rod piercing and burrowing deep in their belly with thunderous bangs and loud moans and wishes. I stretch them out and send them back home for they white husbands with the 5inch :)

    I think foreigners chase you for money and a green card

    it depends on what kind of family it is. If it’s a traditional family, then it is not considered as "better." If it’s not then it is either "better" or it doesn’t matter.

    I don’t know if it is better in my asian culture. But my family wants me to marry someone who is asian as well. They even said they would ship me off to China to get married. But personally I do like white men more simply because I know a lot of white hot guys.

    my bro goes out with a latina and her family is all over him when he goes over there, pretty sad actually.

    I think they think marrying a white person will make them rich or something.

    #38 White Guys

    Asian chicks dig white guys. Somewhere in the midst of the pseudo-nationalistic indoctrination our well-meaning parents inflict upon us, we ladies stop paying attention and allow tall(er), skinny, white boy engineers to steal our hearts.

    What’s up with the race treason? One theory: They love us. Asian fetish, yellow fever. Whatever you call it, there’s plenty of literature out there telling white men that we princesses are the exotic, submissive, and hypersexualized women of their dreams.

    This post, however, is not about why white guys live in a delusional fantasy world. It’s a dissertation on why, despite the tawdry roots of our suitors’ affection, we just eat it up. One economist says it’s because Asian women are the least discriminatory female demographic (second-to-last paragraph)””that “the white man-Asian woman pairing was the most common form of interracial dating … because of the women’s neutrality, not the men’s pronounced preference.”

    Uh, ok. Whatever. What about our strict fathers and sheltered childhoods? Plus, we all saw how well that John Lennon/Yoko Ono thing worked out. And we can’t resist everything white men have to offer””and no, I’m not talking about that. White men indulge our deepest PDA-fantasies; they hold our hands, they aren’t terribly cerebral about their emotions, and they will””heaven forbid””tell their parents that we’re actually dating. Asian parents don’t do any of that gross hand-holding, making-out stuff. Asian boys learned the lesson; girls, not so much.

    Lastly, if you think this is all a pile of BS, we all can agree on one tangible reason the Asian/white pairing works so well. God knows we all just want highly attractive children, and halfie babies are so damn cute.

    Because it’s a status thing. They think white people have more money. I have a friend that married a white guy for status, she thinks she’s all that because of it but her husbands broke and unattractive. I think it’s because she didn’t grew up in the U.S. The Hispanic girls that think this way are really insecure, that’s why.

    I’m Latina but i never bought into that because i think it’s all really stupid.

    Maybe in certain areas no importance is given to ethnicity, but from my experience in the Latino culture both women and men want to date/marry an Anglo and their parents encourage it because they want light grandchildren. Deny it all you want, but why do Hispanics give so much attention to Anglo Americans? At the same time, most other Hispanics I’ve met look down on African Americans. How many Latina women have i seen who do everything in their power to make their appearance lighter? And wealthy Latino men almost always marry a light complected Latina woman. In the Latino culture, light skin/hair/eyes is the ideal.

    Nope, not at all in my life or in my family. That’s a degrading statement in my opinion. Some other Korean & other Asians (I don’t have one damn clue why) think that they are gaining status in society while being with a white person. I don’t know where in the hell they got that from! That’s very off.

    i’m Mexican and in my family:
    my dad (he was born and raised in Mexico) would probably kill me if i would date a white person. he thinks that its like a betrayal or something. its either a date a Mexican or die alone.
    to my mom (she was born and raised in the US)…. she thinks its better to date any race thats NOT Mexican. just because of some experiences shes had with her dad, and also my father….
    i dont know its hard to explain, but its kind of a 50/50 thing

    Unfortunately, yes. I’m a pretty light skinned Mexican and my mom would not approve of me dating someone darker whether it is a dark Hispanic or a black guy. I don’t blame them because that’s the way it has always been in all Latin American countries, whether they admit it or not. It’s not that she would be outraged but she would not be pleased. I think for asian women it’s more of a social status thing.

    These are all just generalizations, there are many exceptions. I was raised in the US but have spent almost all my summers in Mexico and in Mexico it can be the same thing because a dark skinned Mexican can go out with a Mexican guy who is mostly of European (Spanish) descent and have light skinned children which in many peoples eyes are "prettier" but I think all babies are cute, no matter what race they are.

    My parents would rather I marry within my race but they will respect my choice if I choose to marry a non Asian. Nobody in my close family has married outside our race yet. I have dated other races and to be honest I find myself more attracted to brown skinned men.

  31. Fallen One says:

    Well first of all it depends. Most Puerto Ricans in NY prefer Black men over White men and when Asian girls Americanize fully and when they assimilate they find Black men more attractive. Make no mistake though Asian parents DO show animosity towards their daughters dating Black males but they can’t do much in today’s world.

  32. me says:

    I think it depends on your parents. My parents were born and raised in Asia so they are more traditional and they tend to believe in the stereotypes; thus they prefer white over other races if I date outside my own race.

    Personally, I’m really attracted to black guys.

    I was born i mexico and i can tell you the ideology for A LOT of mexicans is marrying someone who is caucasian is better due to stereotypical social status and financial security. Now, this can be a caucasian of european or hispanic origin. And even if the caucasian isnt of means, since being caucasian is more acceptable, financial security can change if the caucasian decides to take on a career or business. Do i think marrying a white guy is better? No. Money and social status come and go but love doesnt. Im going to marry someone i love whether they’re asian, black or alien.

    I’m an American-Hispanic, and I think it depends on where the girl is from. I dated a white man before because he was a nice guy, but a lot of my family and friends would joke that I was a "sell out", or I just wanted "little blond babies", which wasn’t true. They never said anything when I was dating a Hispanic guy, and they also have nothing to say now that I am with an Asian guy. I think there is a bit of resentment, but nothing too bad.
    If you were born in a S. American country, I think the thought process is that a white guy could possibly be your ticket out of poverty, and a chance at a better life. It might be the same with Asian girls too, but I’m not too sure on that subject..

    I’m Japanese and in my country, people do not think “dating with white guys are better”, but “acceptable.” Meanwhile, they do not really respect “dating with Latino, Hispanic, and Black guys.” I do not know why.
