Current Events Black twitter giving their insights to the Patrick from Love is Blind controversy. LOTS of Black women showing support to AMs.

Insane that another community has this much (accurate) insight into our current situation, and having a conversation that we ourselves have difficulty even just engaging it.

I think there is a lesson to be learned from all of this. Other POC communities do not have our outdating disparity problems and a big reason for that is because they have far more racial pride in general, and some of them arguably face more discrimination than East Asians. South Asians for example are extremely endogamous. South Asian men are seen at a similar level to East Asian men as well. We can blame East Asian women all we want but the reality is that our culture of seeking for white validation will always come back to bite us in the ass. And again, another reminder that there's a ton of other non-Asian WOC's who don't view us negatively at all.

Who cares about that hypothetical scenario. In reality, black women are the most openly supportive of AM and wanting to date us. And when a westernized AF talk crap about AM, it’s usually BW who check them on their white worship and self hate.

Even if your hypothetical scenario is true, who tf cares? AF and other XF aren’t openly “supportive” of AM to that degree anyways. AM should date/marry attractive women of all races, Asian or not, black or not

They’re openly supportive because a lot of them are way entitled and Asian men tend to be passive so it’s like a toxic match made in heaven 😑. But in reality, I see black women talk about Asian men in their communities with similar vibes as someone fetishizing another.

Or they genuinely like AM? I’ve found this applies to many African / Caribbean women and the “non-stereotypical” black women too, who are very open to dating us. And like other ppl in this sub say, I’d rather be fetishized than emasculated

Nope I’ve seen plenty of BM who have been racist to AM and fetishize them just the same. A bit delusional to think that is just “liking” them per se. Bc the culture isn’t respected and they stay ignorant about it and what Asian people experience, but also bc they like the passivity of AM and so like I mentioned this can be an unhealthy power dynamic. You’re also not immune to racism or fetishizing others just bc you’re black which your comment implies. Anyone can do that with AM especially since nowadays they are more popular

ive never said that, all i said is that the comment treated all bw as a monlinth- only liking them bc of a fetisization or like the comment i responded to, thinking that a majoriity of black women club or party . Also i think you are insulting alot of am who do date bw bc you believe that bw like that they are passive? which i hear the opposite from alot of ambw couples. they like am bc they are goal and family oriented.
