    When it got to the “Korean student moves into a dorm down my hallway” part, I immediately thought that he was going to be happily gay because that’s an easy way out of not finding girls. RIP my straight mans

    i feel bad for people adopted from other countries to a mayo family. like even though im a communist i feel like adopting a black kid is just a bad idea for me for example, there is absolutely no way i can give them proper survival experience for a black person in a white supremacist country. at the very least it just sucks that so many of these kids arent usually given many ties to other asian people that can give advice and advocate for each other in these terrible situations, makes the kid lose out on so much

    This is kind of true for any minority growing up in a majority white community. I kind of went through the same thing as a mestizo man in Upstate New York for most of my time there. Had almost the exact same mindset that being non-white made it harder to date. Then high school hit and girls started to call me attractive. While race played a part for sure during the early years, being fat and very socially awkward made it even worse.

    He mentions preferring to be alone and I have a feeling his social skills might not be the best. Charisma can turn a 5/10 into an 11/10.

    Adopted from an early age to white family

    Lived in all white community for his formative years

    Absolutely none of his family friends and relatives were Asian

    Ostracized and bullied by his peers throughout primary education because of his race

    Brutal, usually east Asian diaspora in the west form a network amongst each other made up of other migrants from the same area with a shared general culture. It is difficult to grow up in a foreign white majority country amongst people who don’t have a shared understanding about how it’s like.

    The idea of a dating site where they’re all like “yep black people and Hispanics and middle eastern folk are all ok to me, it’s just the Asians and nothing else” is pretty bad NGL. No dude, they get treated just the same.

    Comic reeks of incel vibes. Like I can agree that it’s fucked up that it’s legal for white people to adopt kids but cmon guy, your sexual frustration is a capital You problem. And frankly your identity as an east Asian makes you barely poc to begin with, like you are only allowed in the club because you have some leverage. We are still waiting for justice for Latasha Harlins.
