Why Do Men These Days Objectify Asian Women

Is it the exotic cat-eyes? why are they objectifying Asian women. Black men to white men.. why? Is it the perfect olive tan and the yellow skin? BTW, when I say Asian I mean the (Chinese, Japs, Filipinos, Koreans, Thai peeps and Malaysians etc. ) Mating and attraction is genetics. So are Asian women now the craze of most men in America?

What is so different amongst Asian Women.. is it because they look exotic and high class?

"In a 2007 Columbia University study, researchers found that Asian female/white male pairings were the most common interracial coupling in America. However, when evaluating subjects' preferences, researchers found that white men showed no overall preference towards Asian women over any other race." Even if they are not anime freaks.

Is it the stylish outfits? is it because they age so well, they look young all the time?

I'm sure those of you who saw Childish Gambino last month recall his performance of "You See Me." With lines like "Forget these white girls/I need some variation/Especially if she very Asian," it's apparent that Gambino has a serious case of yellow fever—that is, a sexual attraction to women of Asian descent. As an Asian woman, I'm not really offended by the song itself. In fact, it's pretty catchy. Yet, the reality is that its lyrics objectify a certain group. In clever, sexually explicit rap lyrics, the song portrays Asian women as sexual objects simply because of their ethnicity. As Gambino raps so eloquently, combining both racial stereotype and sexual objectification, "She's an overachiever cause all she do is succeed" (Hint: That's a sexual innuendo). That's the really disturbing part about the social phenomenon we call yellow fever: Those "afflicted" are interested in a person purely because of that person's race.

I would instead like to take the opportunity to dispel a different kind of ignorance that is in many ways more widespread and in many ways closer to my heart: linguistic ignorance.

>"people with no accents have for Australians and the British"

The truth is that everyone has an accent. There is no such thing as "accentless English". For one, I imagine that linguistically ignorant people in Britain would think of American English as being accented and British English as being accentless. More locally, though, the vast majority of Americans believe that they speak with an "American accent", despite the fact that there is no such thing. Within the US, there is a spectrum of accents that varies on a number of different unrelated phonological features. The "general American" accent only exists as a loose ill-defined notion based on taking a sort of "average" across all the variation.
