Why does she expect better treatment?

Posted by Ria, 26 Mar

An Asian woman and her Caucasian fiance are walking toward a French restaurant when a dude blurts out “Chink lover”!. Much as the insult was directed at her fiance, she gets so offended that she starts yelling after the dude calling him lonely and a loser.

A few months later, on a trip to Thailand with her fiance, this same woman engages in some ‘harmless’ fun in a game of spotting what they dubbed “‘odd couples’: tall, gangly foreigners with tiny Thai women.” Privately, she refrained from calling it “exploitation” to "she's doing what she needs to survive, and he's finding comfort the only way he can." She was doing the same judging most people do whenever they see an interracial couple walk by.

“In public, I spoke loudly in English and wore my Tevas and other backpacking garb in an attempt to appear American and not as someone's paid consort,” she says. But even in Thailand, she was “… lumped together with the prostitutes and the girlfriends who came with a fee. Maybe that's what bothered me so much about the jerk on the street -- his implication that all Asian women were somehow lower than white men. That only women with desperate financial need and lonely men would cross the color line,” she adds.

She finishes off by saying she doesn’t want to be grouped with other people who look like her.

Someone please explain this: Why is this bothering her when she was also privately prejudicial against the ‘odd couples’ in Thailand? If she assumed every tiny Thai woman with a tall foreigner was a prostitute, why does she expect other people to treat her any different?

    Jacx - since you can't empathise, let explain. Brain wrote not just of race but of gender issues, and Brian is right, because I have encountered many white 'straight' males who consider they have become fair game to be abused and discriminated against. In fact, a trades union did a survey and found a huge percentage of white males felt they had been discriminated against at work. And felt they had no recourse of complaint. When white males cry foul it is perceived as being we want a return of segregation (never was legal in England by the way), a return to jobs for the boys, of being arrogant and insulting to everyone outside of our class and colour, that any underachievement is due to our own failings, and our complaints are dismissed to the extent few of us bother to make them. And your attitude, of lack of understanding and it almost being payback goes to show how correct the white males who feel that way are. But, they put up and shut up. Don't forget we are told to be understanding, tolerant, but are you giving that back? Many feel laws have been skewed against us, not just on grounds of race, but gender. For example, isn't there something wrong when in 99% of child custody cases, custody goes to the woman? We are well used to seeing white males overlooked in media (examples being corporate publications where the images show none or very few white males), and criminalised - London transport recently ran a fare evasion campaign, and in the images used, every single fare evader was white - would they have portrayed any other ethnic group that way? Our Govt runs ad campaigns about fraud of State benefits, and yep, the face of the criminal was white male. Back in the real world, I feel there's an assumption that being a white male means doors have been opened for me. Love to know where. What little I have, I and many others like me got from our own efforts. I came from a council estate (a project in the US). I went to a 'poor' school on it, and came from a 'poor' but loving family. I had no friends in the golf club or on the board of corporations, I had to study, work hard and do what I could. Again, I know this for a fact, the lowest achieving group academically in England are in the official category 'white working class boys' - yet whilst other groups have had programmes and funding targetted to them, this huge group of disadvantaged under achieveing kids has, until recently, been ignored. I have had to apply for every job, no favours given, I had to take the knocks too, I have walked away from many an interview knowing I should get the job, but betting I don't, and I too have felt myself to be unfairly overlooked for jobs. But even that is being further legalised as our Govt is planning yet more laws to discriminate largely against white Males in the workplace. I could on on about media portrayal in movies and TV programmes, racism experienced in our lives (and read on this site) but I think you get my point. So what I am saying, Jacx and others who may not understand, is that the likes of Brian and myself and you can bet millions of others do feel discriminated against, and you have to respect it - even if you don't see it. Because, that is exactly what is demanded of us. I hope you can see there is another side of the coin and as we are all on a multi-racial site it's important to understand how discrimination can affect us all, and is a threat to all of us. Walk a mile in my shoes and all that!

    In true life , one worries more about taking care of themselves and their families [ This I feel is correct 0 . Than who is or who is not in power so to speak . Next time We go into a restaurant to dine , I shall be sure to ask if the President and Mrs. Obama had enjoyed their meal there / before we ever sitdown to order a meal . And if there are dirty clothed people from the trades of life dinning there for their hour lunchbreak . We shall enjoy the fact that they were hungry also . As we honor their presence to dine beside us . If we do decide to eat there We will act as grown adults and leave a good tip before exiting . When may I ask is the last time you [ generally speaking ] Ate in a restaurant and all people looked the same / Uniformly dressed , same color outfits , all with clean white sneakers and their hair all done the same ? Did you complain to the Management if some had parted their hair on the wrong side . I do know one thing for sure / I have the Power to say " Thank you , We have Enjoyed our meal and your service was Great " or when departing a transit bus to say " Thank you for the Safe ride "

    I am curious about the comments made by Brian (29.03.2009) and lagbaja61 (11.04.2009) and wonder whether their ideas are indicative of current thinking? Is it true that "most people hate white [heterosexual] males...and that everything is geared to take away white male power in all forms (Brian 29.03.2009)?" This might suggest that white men are being emasculated, and if so, by whom? If true, I would imagine that this covert or maybe even overt and purposeful negation of "male whiteness" can only weaken the psyche, and if so, how does it affect the community, parenting, rites of passage, education, and employment? What are 'white' parents telling their children about their future in a nation (assuming that Brian and lagbaja61 are from the US) their founding fathers allegedly helped to build, if the new figures of odium are "white men"? I do not empathize with their comments because I do not know them or how challenging it may be for them, their families and/or their communities to see POWER suddenly feel as though it has little or no currency! Is this evolution? Are the sands of time shifting; have positions changed? If we look at patriarchy per se, I see subtle differences in where the balance of power lies; whether that is with black or white men; although more and more women are pushing through and maximizing their efficacy; albeit on a local level. If power is being extracted from "white heterosexual males", who is siphoning it off and where is it going, unless the declining economy – vise-a-vie male unemployment – is responsible for male emasculation; although I would imagine that patriarchy within the household is unlikely to change. Historically intuitions and legislation has never been geared towards giving women POWER in any form! Women continue to work tirelessly to support themselves and their families and push through ‘male’ hierarchal systems, sexism, misogyny, racism and any other 'ism' that are thrown their way! I am sure that there are many of us who at some point in our lives have felt emasculated, and if anything, I empathize with ALL men as the very nature of our declining economies requires that society redefines what it means to be ‘male’ in the 21st century. Brian and lagbaja61 offered individualized views which may resonate with many men for very different and oppossing reasons! Guys, while you may not get much sympathy regarding your comments, you’re in the right site to definitely learn about resilience and efficacy; which is something that is located within each of us and is not sanctioned by institutions. jac x

    In response to girlsixdiva on March27,Although sad I agree that these things happen to black and white couples as well. People shouldn't look at Asian women as goldiggers or prostitutes. Sounds even more ridiculous, when seen with a white man! Cmon, that's a bunch of B.S!Sweetrose, why shouldnt an article that seems so outrageous be cited?

    ok, here's a couple of comments from my wonderful self :)) I'm a black male that just felt compelled to comment on a few things. First, i think we can all agree that "homesteader" writes like he is a drunken illiterate old guy that needs to take a nap and get back on whatever meds he stopped taking. Next, as far as the topic of this blog goes, I think that an Asian woman would be of course be justified in being upset at being referred to as a "chink", and it would also be reasonable for her to assume that most of the white men walking around with Thai women in Bangkok, are sex tourists, because that is exactly the truth. If anyone doesn't know that evil "sex tourism" is a huge problem in Thailand, then you must be incredibly unaware. I know that the author of this blog article was trying to make a point, but they failed. In related news, Girlsixdiva has a cute pic and is smart. Hee-hee :))

    I must say that I see quite a few East Asian women with European men who are so much older than they are, with the women keeping a short distance from them so as not to be seen, and then I'm led to believe that they're with these men because these men must offer some kind of security!

    Jabo, was the only one prior to this who mentioned the racial slur in the third line unless I missed one. That was my first thought. When I read, "Much as the insult was directed at her fiance, she gets so offended..." I thought of course she got offended. She was the one referred to by the slur (And how much different would this blog read if the slur began with an "n"?). Then I wondered if this couple was guilty of assumption more than bigotry. Maybe the French restaurant was in the neighborhood of the "stroll". If you are in an area known for prostitution and a scantily clad woman leans in your car window and says, "Hey, Baby, want a date?" you might assume she is working, regardless of her ethnic background. But you could be wrong. She might just be thinking that you would be an interesting dinner companion. The couple may have come up with the term "odd couples" to describe what was clearly a relationship for hire or for ones that only seemed like that to them. Either way it doesn't mean they are bigots. Her other attempts to appear American (she did say talking loudly didn't she?) may have been defenses against any more lewd propositions coming her way from guys who harassed her on the street. Finally, we didn't get to see the whole piece that Ria quotes so we don't know the full context of the story. From what I read, I don't see any reason to hate on the woman for not wanting to be an object of racism. Who does, whether are racist themselves or not.

    Marty, I think the issue is not that one percieves th woman as a prostitute. It is a means of using negative terms to try to control women. Mary Magnalene was at one point thought to be a prostitute. Why? I think because the males wanted to lessen her credibility. You are right, one needs to have a strong sense of self.

    In order to date or marry inter racially a person must have a strong sense of self. It does not matter to me what people think as long as we know what we are doing in life and as a couple. If I am thought of as a prostitute for dating a Caucasian then so be it. It is their problem not mine. I will not own that thought. I know I am not a prostitute.

    I think many may be missing the point of the lesson to be learned here. The problem regarding the statement 'chink lover' is not to degrade asians as much as it is to try to elevate a feeling of superiority by the issuer of the comment. This person thinks that by the nature of his/her race, that they are superior to one of the parties who were together. This is not necessarily a white/asian or white/black thing. There used to be statements similar to this when there were light skinned blacks and darker skinned blacks. In all of these situations, someone puts down another due to differences that really point out the insecurity of that person. A secure, mature and evolved person would not care. Shows the frailty of 'man' and lack of wisdom. In the end, not really spending too much time on the subject not really worth discussion. I say, consider the source.

    Once upon a time , then all things became different when you awoke one morning and realized the size of the paycheck or the gasoline guzzling Boat you toured down the highway with , were what made people look Larger than they were . Being a member of this site should be enough to make each of us / Appreciate each and everyone We see with the same amount of Dignity that We Desire . All people in life have to do that which has to be done to Survive . With the Exception of Dishonest people , I have Grown up to Respect All Others as I would Wish them to Respect Me . When We walk down the streets in town , we meet many people everyday and they all seem to be doing what they do in their own daily lives . They do not stop and change direction , just because We pass them bye . All we meet , treat Us in similiar fashion as we treat them . The Sick people in Doctors waiting rooms all laugh and joke with Us , as if We had all been friends Our whole lives . The more I look at these Blog articles , the more I wonder / Why is there so much confusion over things that really don't matter unless you , Yourself do not Desire change . Loosen up people , Life is to short to carry Yesterdays Unwanted Baggage .

    I never respond to these things for often it leads to a circular firing squad but here goes. The world is a complicated place. Yes people should treat each other like color and race doesnt matter but it does. It codes how we think about identity, culture and politics who is supposedly developed and backward. It doesnt suprise me that a person of color in a relationship with a white person would not wish to be stereotyped and still have seemingly stereotyped views of others. Human beings do think about distinctions between classes and nations. Some do it from an elitist point of view; some do it from wishing to overturn such classifications permanently (going beyond the limits of liberalism)... most do not... Some of the most far reaching radical democratic thinkers (not saying the woman who is the subject of this story here is radical)have married outside their race and just because they think critically about their own race doesnt mean they hate themselves... there would be far less socialists or Pan-Africanists for example if we were to strike out those in interracial relationships. But the point is to pay attention to the content of what people are saying and not insist people stop talking about the race and color problem... yes people of color and whites are individuals (who think differently)...so let's take sides on the basis of what they say NOT who they are.

    What I see with the OP is that those harsh feelings about other races are okay if she's feeling them (likely cuz she grew up with them), but to have them bounced back at her isn't 'right'. That's pretty typical across the board. Not EVERYBODY feels that way, but a big percentage does....

    If you're going to talk about "lesser educated persons...looking to impress their piers[sic]," know how to spell the word 'peers', otherwise, you appear "lesser educated." And the words "prostitution" and "life" aren't proper nouns, so they don't need to be capitalized. Furthermore...never mind.

    Just wanted to post a brief comment on this subject especially since my best friend of many years is Cambodian. We're all familiar with the statement "get it how you live," Well, not every woman is living a quick fix life of prostitution. I can speak for my friend, she's a hard worker, proud single mother of 3 girls. Yes, she came from a poor country but she's struggled and has become a success w/out the help of any man, on top of which, she's drop-dead gorgeous! I honestly feel as though a lot of these stereo-typical comments come from women who are jealous or have racial prejudices against Asian women; and yes, there may be a lot of hype about Asian women and white men, but why is it an issue when it shouldn't be? We all have a preference as to what type of person we want, which is why many of us are members of an interracial site. "Cameupflying and girlsixdiva," I second the motion of topics being cited.

    I wonder where you get this story from. Did you make it up or was you there? To me the whole story sounds stereotype and bizarre. I find it highly annoying that no matter what race (black,white etc)would always connect asian women with prostitution. Especially when she dates a white guy. What in the world is wrong with ya??? Asian women are not as pathetic and money hungry as you all wanna make it seem. It'd be the same if I now told ya a story about an african woman that marries a white guy just for the sake of getting out of africa... To me this whole asian women caucasian men blacks whites is nothing but bla bla bla It's all a matter of the personality, yall need to get over all this racial rubbish. IT'S ANNOYING!!!!!! xx

    the truth hurts...only she knows what's in her heart or the real nature of her relationship. if she looks at other people that way, maybe it's also what she sees in the mirror.

    You get what you pay for , for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction . Never been to Thailand , so have no idea how people live over there . Cruelty in words is a way of life for many lesser educated persons while looking to impress their piers . Personally I feel that Prostitution is one of the oldest trades in the world . That those who do it , give far more than they could ever receive in return . As in all things in Life / it's a tough job alas someone has to do it . What about the one who eats in that French restaurant and leaves without leaving a tip ? How do we judge them - not paying for the excellent services provided during their meal . There are so many things in Life other than peoples Heritage to think about . You shall reap what you sow .
