Ik I'm from a country that got colonized by the british AND the Japanese both were equally as bad. Some of the shit my grandparents have told me, still horrifies me to this day. I never said that the Japanese didn't colonize for the same reasons as the Europeans I just said that in the context of the creator of this who is KOREAN the whole white people colonizing doesn't fit. It's more to do with fair skin being seen as higher noble status and darker skin = working outside doing hard labour
Honestly, most of the people who go to Korea or Japan or China (lets be real they're never gonna go to third world countries in asia) are huge fetishizers. I can't comment on them being obsessed with white men or women since I'm not Korean, just know they're obsessed with white skin to the point of bleaching rip.
Actually alot of the White people or europeans go to The third world countries in asia ( example thailand and philippines). Mostly for the fact of tourism but the asian fetish for those in third world countries is the same (think about the stereotype of thai girls/pros*it*es.) But the fact is that the white people made this whole narative of the white savior, and that white people will give them better lives and that white people are the desirable look.
Shes not talking about the lightness of skin (cuz we already know about that royalty/labor and etc) shes talking about why asians became obsessed with white men/people. Because the colonizers came into their countries and made them view white people as better. Thats where it all started. and it became so deeply ingrained in their mindsets that its become what it is today.
Yeah but not a lot of them permanently move there like in Korea or Japan. They'll go to those places to 'enlighten' themselves or do some charity work which is great and all but it's not as hyped up as the three east asian countries.
See that's what confuses me are you saying the colonizers in this context are the white people moving to Korea??? Cause like I said before KOREA never had white colonizers unlike countries like Vietnam. I can't speak for every colonized asian country but where I'm from there is still so much bitterness towards the British for what they did. Ik for some people that may date white people for 'exoticness' but they aren't exactly the type to take home to your parents especially when they can't speak your parents native language nor have a deep understanding of the culture so I think it's a far reach to say asian colonized countries are 'obsessed' with white people. Fair skin 100% but they aren't really after european facial features most of the time.
Like fr saying asians are obsessed with white people as if we've forgotten all the suffering they caused us for 100s of years. No we don't bow at their very presence and hope and pray everyday that they'll come back and rape our women whilst killing our young men again. Those times were such a blast for colonized countries! That's why we're so obsessed as well if they don't rape us how are we gonna get those fair skinned babies!
Ur rly not listening to what we are saying, so honestly just google it. Theres so many asian people that prefer being with a white person so its not hard to find the reasons. In my country we were colonized by many people, spanish, japanese, and americans. Yet my people still prefer white people/americans. Its because of the whole white savior and white people are better complex that they brought in. Its literally so deeply ingrained in asian society. Why do u think so many asians love european features? Big eyes, high nose bridge, they obviously dont only care about lightening their skin due to the royal and labor history mentioned earlier. White people have had so much influence in these asian countries after they colonized them, while japan stepped back and apologized, americans still keep reiterating that they saved these asian countries. Just google more info instead of fighting on here plz thanks
Maybe you're from since I'd imagine every country dealt with it differently but I don't agree with the statement that "Asians so obsessed with white men." That's such a fucked statement on so many levels. There probably are people out there obsessed just like there are people out there who are not. Maybe the whole european thing is true for YOUR country but it's really not for every colonized asian country and is very offensive to say so. My country also was colonized by many people from the Greeks to the British but they are not obsessed with europeans so your point doesn't really work. Each country has an unique history so it's a blanket statement for you to say we're all obsessed with white people and features.
My original point was that KOREA not the Philippines or Vietnam or India was not colonized by EUROPEANS since this webtoon was made by a KOREAN I don't quite understand your point about white people colonizing. I even googled it and yeah Korea was colonized by japan so you saying google it shows you have no clue since you can't understand that KOREA was not colonized by EUROPEAN. You keep avoiding replying to that despite that being my original statement. Honestly gets me thinking that maybe you're the one in need of google.
Oh my gosh u do realize koreans even have a popular saying about white people? “To ride the white horse” its an expression of how they want to experience being with a white person. Even if they were colonized specifically Thats how big white influence is in asia! Oh my gosh its like talking to a wall with u.
Why are Asians so obsessed with white men. Breaks immersion
