I was having a telephone conversation with someone regarding the struggles that Asian men face in the dating scene. I pointed out that Asian men are in relatively low demand, much moreso than most (if not all) other races.
This person objected immediately, saying “That’s not true! I know plenty of interracial couples. Why, at my own church, there’s this guy who married a Japanese woman….” She then proceeded to rattle off several examples of mixed-race marriages that she’s known.
After a while, I interrupted, saying, “Wait a minute. I think you’ve demonstrated my point. Every single one of the examples you’ve given involves a white man and an Asian woman. As I said though, it’s the Asian men who have difficulty in finding a mate.”
“Well, I’m sure that there are plenty of Asian men who have no trouble either,” she said.
Some people just don’t get it.
