-Why are White models and actors frequently used for ads in Asia?
-Why do so many Asian women get eye enlarging surgery, dye their hair blonde, and wear blue contacts?
-How come some Asian youth are ‘not attracted to Asians’?
-How come if you are Caucasian or an English-speaking Asian in Asia, you are treated better everywhere you go?
-How come some Asians get ashamed from being around ‘too many Asians’?
-Why didn’t more Asian-Americans STAND UP after ‘Vincent Chin’?
Here is an article about the phenomenon of Asian youth ‘just not attracted to Asians’:

the first link is unavailable. also, you could have answered your own questions instead of just asking them and then posting one working link.

That’s because Asian’s culture teaches Asians to be timid and agreeable. Whereas Western culture tend to be more aggressive and non-confirming.
So it’s no surprise that White folks keep pushing their influence into Asian ground while the timid Asians just sit there and shrug.

I agree with PM Mahatir’s decisions in the second weblink.
The number of white faces on Asian commercial is staggering… and I wish I can say “vice versa”. But the fact is there are almost NO asian faces in Western countries commercial or media in general.
White folks can shout out racism for the banned of White faces in Asian media. However, Racisms are on them too for NOT having asian faces on their media. But how come this question is never raised in Western media? Well, that’s is the privileged of being White, you can get away with something that other colours can’t!

You also have to take into consideration, that, the propagation of Christianity and its missionaries into Asia has distorted the way many Asians think. If you take a look at hatred and racism from Koreans, Phillipinos , and Indonesians have toward Japanese people , it is shocking, since historically, it is a fact that many more Korean civilians perished during the Korean war, but you seldom hear comlpaints against Americans. You always see a mass concentration of hate as well as state sponsored racism toward Japan. I am studying this right now, and I believe with more time, I can prove something.

Read the bible and put the precepts into practice. Hold “wrongdoers” accountable and correct bad religion which is often cloaked for politics. Individual people acting in the collective to boldy live by GOD’S commands is the key.
What’s in the bible is not what is practiced in many Christian religions. GOD made all people of worth and beauty. “You are fearfully and wonderfully made”.. so act like it. You don’t need permission from anyone to do this. Carry yourself with worth. Stop knocking each other down because someone isn’t bowing to others. LOVE YOURSELVES! SERVING and helping Appreciate each other for content of character.
I am shocked to learn Asian TV is filled with white faces? Why can’t people get past the outside packaging to the inner soul? Every race has wonderful aspects. Because every one is of one race the human race and all have one source one father. Yes there are filthy, evil people etc of every race. Immerse yourselves in the Spirit and the truth will be uncovered. Every one is born with the spark of divinity in them expressed in a myriad of ways. The world is so messed up in people’s thinking.
Change the world one person at a time refusing to accept what passed for “the norm.” Let the Holy Spirit lead you to truth.

asian to asian racism is even worse. One time i had an asian professor of the same asian ethnicity. I was the only student of that ethnicity in the class . My professor had gone to grad school in a state with no asians and had an inferiority complex. The white and black students with questions were untouchable, but whenever I asked her anything she would openly harrass me in front of everybody, possibly becuase she believed that she could prove that she different than other asians and thought that she could take her frustrations out at me safely and being of the same asian ethnicity i wouldn’t complain. It was an unprofessional and basest level instinct that she demonstrated.
