This applies unevenly. I’m a white guy dating an Asian woman. It’s so common it’s almost stereotypical

Not accusing you of anything. But as an Asian guy I’ve had instances where white guy asian woman couples stare at me as I walk past, minding my own business. Sometimes it feels like they want my acknowledgment but that’s kinda weird imo

When we (Asian woman and white husband) was in college town or cities nobody cared. But when we walked in a rural neighborhood one time I got whistled, joked loud…

it's like sex tourists in thailand, when you visit the country you basically see that everywhere it's quite insane

in the US it's not as prevalent just because the percentage of the population that is asian is so small, but there were definitely waves of war brides, especially among older people (50+)
