  1. So asain girls can dye their hair blond, wear coloured contacts and get plastic surgery to give a nose bridge and literally BLEACH their skin, but when a white girl does wing eyeliner yall mad.

  2. 4:22 is this really what its like in the americas? Ive never thought or heard (except maybe in quiz shows which are obviously being vague on purpose) of south asian or east asian. We call you what you are (except the racists 😂) in the uk Chinese or Indian or viet or British if you were born here. Is it really not like this in us mex canada?

  3. I feel like it's mostly white people. I don't understand why K-pop is so popular; it's honestly weird since the singers look like little kids. Same with anime; the only anime I watch is Dragon Ball, but that's just because I've been watching it since I was a kid. Same with the makeup around the eyes; I've never seen a Latina or Black girl doing that. I remember what my friend told me once: his dad married an Asian woman after my friend's mom passed away, and he said it seems like white people marry Asian women because they're so submissive. Like he said, it almost felt like his stepmom was his maid or something; it made him uncomfortable.

  4. I don’t understand why some people can’t just be fans of whatever they are interested in, I’ve always been a fan of anime since I was 5 and like Kpop but I don’t desire to change to another race or fetishize people? Korean skin care is a bit understanding but so are many other skin cares for other culture. I feel so bad for those who have been made fun of for being Asian only for the other person to turn around and fetishize it

  5. Many westerners are coming to appreciate that Confucian cultures have many virtues that Western one’s lack. Japan has such tremendous respect for their public utilities and people. This is severely lacking in the Anglosphere for example. As a result the Occident is atrophying. Medji Jingu appreciated the virtues of the west as well as japan. We should all aim to synthesize the virtues of both Many westerners are coming to appreciate that Confucian cultures have many virtues that Western one’s lack.

  6. fetishism has nothing to do with people, has nothing to do with action or personality/cultural behaviour
    fetish revolves around objects and yes part of a body is an object(feet,legs,hands) heck even the entire body is basically an object but it depends on a subjective view of the individual same as you'd view a car(driving in a car like your brain drives your body)

  7. So many Asian women in the comments here who clearly engaged in the “I’m the cool Asian” and shat on their families and male counterparts only to switch in adulthood but not in the good way with “oh yes I’m Asian fetishize me white/black boi”. Two sides of the same coin

  8. I’m ngl I’ve had viet friends and family get anime hairstyles and try to portray themselves as Japanese or other Asian cultures simply because there also asian it’s kinda weird and no one’s gonna call it out because there Asian but I digress, it’s not exclusive though a similar thing happens in black culture too you have black people lumping all of Africa together quite often which doesn’t really help the stereotype of Africa not being distinctive to the west (spoiler it’s insanely diverse) I think it’s weird and I know it probably comes from a place of ignorance

  9. Maybe its a reaction to all the fear mongering of Asians by rightwing Americans?
    It might have become cool to start admiring East Asian cultures out of a rebellious attitude?
    Also, its sad the Indonesian kid above has no advantage here…🇮🇩🙏🏽👍🏽

  10. this is just projection and narcissism. "oh no it's so oppressing living in the west and experiencing the obvious consequence of participating in a multi cultural society where I might be sexualized sometimes!"

    it is not Westerner's job to uphold the sanctity of your cultural identity. your family signed the social contract when you immigrated here, and you continue to sign the social contract by living here today. you should appreciate the privilege that you get to monetize your whiney and shallow "cultural critique".

    13:17 like what is the point of this comment? you are talking about a cultural export of the entirety of East Asia. "wahhh it's so cringe white people were influenced by our cultural propaganda"

    17:16 its really not absurd. humans make sociological categorizations based on empirics and history

    17:44 yes… obviously their interest in the east is viewed through the lens of the west because they are Westerners..

    ridiculous slop
