This article basically says “because white people are put up on a pedestal in modern society interracial couples are just based on internalized racism from perceiving white people as superior.”

That was paraphrased, but essentially the same message the article is telling.

A couple points to that:

  • Find me a single interracial couple who thinks this (the article simply guesses they exist)
  • There was no evidence supplied beyond supposed perceptions
  • white people are in fact prioritized in modern society but the article doesn’t go far enough to explain the notion of a romantic racial bias based on that

Also I wouldn’t trust this source very much. Just because it’s conservative doesn’t mean it’s accurate: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-college-fix/

Maybe the name “the college fix” should’ve warned you that it’s not the most trustworthy publication.

Honestly it gives really scary “keep the bloodline pure” vibe, as if no interracial couples can exist without some level of internal racism. Can’t people just like…..love each other? Good god.

The article is talking about the research of Thomas Le. He believes that Asian women who are internally racist, want to date white men.

The issue is how he defines internal racism. The two question were shown as lighter skin is better and sometimes I wish I wasn’t Asian.

The first question ignores lighter skin has always been more desired in many Asian cultures going back thousands of years. It meant a high class person since they weren’t exposed to the sun. It has nothing to do with being white.

The second question by itself doesn’t provide any useful data. My kid wanted to be Chinese when she was younger. She wasn’t racist towards herself. She just wanted to be Chinese.
