LoginThe first white boy I loved was in the fourth grade, soon after I had moved from Taiwan to Australia. Ben was a pale, thin boy with sandy hair and hazel eyes. He often sat at the computer in the corner of the classroom, tapping away. Nonetheless, I liked sitting next to him with a book open in my lap, admiring his air of quiet intelligence. I imagined us kindred spirits, keeping a dignified distance from the ruckus of our fellow comrades. I was eight and already doing the thing that I would catch myself doing, again and again, in my teens and then my twenties: idealizing the objects of my affection, creating characters with whom I proceeded to fall head over heels in love.

An article published by the Oxford University Press examines romantic relationships between Asian females and white males, specifically in television advertisements. While the article discusses this interracial relationship, the content of the piece focuses on the typecasting of Asian women in commercials that fetishizes them. To me, this study seemed more relevant to what the commenters on the aforementioned TikTok videos were referring to. Among the statistics, one trend stands out: Asian women are disproportionately seen in interracial marriages compared to Asian men. This gender disparity is not unique to Asians but extends to other groups as well.
