This whole, "oh the west is just as bad" troupe needs to die.

But if they do have children, they don't have to endure this: http://www.chinasmack.com/2009/stories/shanghai-black-girl-l...

Can you even imagine a "mixed" kid who grew up entirely in the US being cussed out by well over half the commenters on a talent show, and for even the kids mother to be attacked relentlessly for being with a man of a different color? The WSJ link doesn't even get into the worst of it. You should have seen the weibo comments on Lou Jing.

Yes. Yes I can.

Having been a competitive runner in my youth, I am big into track and field, but I do not own a television. Only mentioned that to admit that I do not know a lot about popular culture. But I do know Track and Field. When you read about the past of LoLo Jones and this girl in Shanghai, they seem basically identical. Complete with the hate from the respective national medias.

If you are feeling brave, take a gander at the Twitter comments from many men, I assume they are American, about LoLo Jones and her mother. NSFW. And NOT for the timid.

Really? I find this hard to believe the two are at all comparable.

Can you provide a link to a page of a major media outlet in which numerous commenters claim she isn't really American due to her race? Or maybe a few tweets from famous people who have suggested that she step aside and let Americans compete?

That seems to be a trend which is improving however (more Asian Male/Caucasian Female couples) At least in California among professionals.

Are there statistics that indicate the situation is improving? I'm not in Cali anymore but have Asian american male friends who like Caucasian women that would be interested in this.

I don't have any statistics, just anecdotes. I've just noticed an uptick in AM/WF couples. My neighbors across the screen. My friend who just got married. People I see at work.

Without being too cynical, I attribute this to a natural outgrowth of the economic success of AMs, the rising tides in Asia, and more and more AMs appearing in media. (e.g. Daniel Dae Kim in Lost) Let's be honest, men's romantic liberty in choosing mates is often proportional to economic success.

It all started with Russell Wong and the Noxema Girl in "Vanishing Son" :)

> Let's be honest, men's romantic liberty in choosing mates is often proportional to economic success.

Possibly the kindest way I've ever seen that phrased.

I must be doing something wrong. All of the females this Asian male has partnered with have been Caucasian.
