		<description>I sort of think Asian women and girls accept this stereotype since it gives them an advantage in white society.  They fit in.  More Asian women born in America are marrying white than even Asian men, you don&#039;t see them marrying other race except white.  They hang out with white and serve as a de facto Asian, worse is they stereotype Asian community as well.  So they make it harder for asian community and people

I dated an Asian girl who only dated white men before me.  After the white guy gave her STD which she had to be treated and cheated on her, and unfortunately, I found her.  After she told me this, I had to leave.  I was scared since I only had 1 other girl and she must have had like more than 10.  Worst is her white boyfriend are does look like he had a case of yellow fever, since he cheated on her with another Asian girl. 

As an Asian American guy, it looks bleak out there.  I want to find an Asian girl since I am more comfortable with that, but  I don&#039;t want to get STD from promicuous Asian girl who like to go around with whites, and whites men will fuck anything that moves.  Case in point, this article that said Asian women have 4X rate of STD than Asian men. 

You wonder why women have more STD than men, when to other race it is the opposite.

		<description>As an Asian American woman, I was shocked by the article -- and also by how many Asian Americans were OK with it because it &quot;sheds light&quot; on an important issue. 

Yes, I think it is EXTREMELY important to discuss how Asian women are fetishized and stereotyped in a very demeaning way, but I felt Ying Chu, the author of the article, actually perpetuated those stereotypes. The problem was that she wrote in generalizations, therefore implying that ALL Asian women dating/married to white men are being subjugated, which in turn implies that they weren&#039;t smart enough to not fall into the trap of an unequal relationship. I know that Marie Claire revised the online edition of the article slightly after the outcry, but the original was truly painful to read. 

I think Chu&#039;s piece was especially problematic because most of the women she cited in the article are extremely accomplished in their own right. Marie Claire very rarely features Asian models and I find it very disheartening that one of the few times I see Asian women in its pages is when they are being denigrated for their personal relationships. Take Zhang Ziyi, for example. In addition to being gorgeous, she&#039;s already worked with some of the world&#039;s top directors (Ang Lee, Rob Marshall, etc.) and is now a producer, though she&#039;s only 30. From interviews, it&#039;s obvious that she&#039;s extremely intelligent and outspoken. Why not put her on the cover instead of dissing her for being engaged to a white man? 

I also think it&#039;s important to note that it&#039;s not just certain white men who think Asian women are submissive. I&#039;ve heard the same thing from Asian men, black men, Latino men... it seems like a pretty universal stereotype, which makes it even worse. Like I said, I think more people need to write about &quot;yellow fever&quot; and how it affects the lives of Asian women, but I think this is a subject that needs to be dealt with a lot more intelligently than Chu was either able or willing to do.</description>

		<description>I have quite a few problems with the Marie Claire article, but the only thing I find suspicious about interracial couples is when I find white guys who ONLY date Asian girls. I don&#039;t agree with race being a factor in a relationship -- culture, yes, but even culture and race have a fine line of separation.</description>
