How does Trump's victory affect my chances as an Asian male?

[uForia]

I have two differing thoughts based on this election on how my (currently nonexistent) dating life will be affected. In conservative areas, it will now be harder for minorities to date white people due to the legitimization of racism that a Trump victory brought. Look at what already happened to Asian people in this article:

But in liberal areas, there's a huge backlash of protests but I have to inevitably say that this also hurts Asian men (At least with white women). Now that liberal white women feel extreme pity for minorities, the minorities will be even less attractive options because in order to have pity it is a prerequisite to intrinsically believe that the people under pity is more inferior. You never hear of women pitying a guy developing an attraction for him. Any thoughts on this matter? And please keep it on topic in regards to the dating prospects of Asian men (and other minorities I guess), not the election itself.

I honestly used to worry about this as a darker skinned Arab American guy myself but thinking more about it, I think a Trump presidency actually helps me more after seeing what has happened in Europe. Decades ago before the whole immigration wave and refugee crisis, a darker skinned guy could go to Europe and be seen as exotic, which meant that a lot of girls were going to be open to getting with him. Now with what has happened after a liberal government decided it would be an amazing idea to bring in a massive influx of uncivilized refugees that won't assimilate and cause a ton of issues in Europe (mainly harassing local women), even brown guys with game struggle there due to the whole stigma attached to immigrants and refugees. The view of a brown guy went from foreign in a good way to lower class immigrant to be weary of.

A Trump presidency means we won't have to deal with that sort of stuff in the USA and there might still be a good portion of American women who will be open to going for Arabs and darker skinned foreign guys with game. I find that people are actually less racist when they don't have to constantly deal with the worst of a society that a society has to offer, illegal immigration and not properly vetting refugees leads to the western world getting some of the worst of foreign societies, which in turn makes people more racist towards that ethnic group or whatever ethnic group may resemble them.

I am kinda excited that Trump is president and hope he builds the wall alongside making sure we properly examine the refugees coming into our country.

Asian people in America however are seen as 'model minorities' in the sense that they're seen as smart people with higher incomes. That's a threat to the white Trump supporter base, but I'm more concerned about how a liberal to moderate woman's perspective will change in response since I'll be living in a coastal city. Asian people will still continue to be >10% of the population so your argument doesn't hold too well for East Asians. But yes for Arabs, your argument holds very well.

Not sure about moderates but the coastal liberal white girls have kinda always hated Asian dudes. I find that a lot of these girls would put up the whole "we are not racist" act yet the second they get on OkCupid or Tinder, they are keeping their dating life 100% white. One other issue is that liberals are generally doing it all for image and status, they actually hate minorities, especially Asian men. Most liberals find Asians to be the race it is okay to be racist against, especially Asian males.

Your typical latte sipping white girl who votes Democrat and considers herself worldly probably stereotypes the hell out of most races she meets.

Yeah, totally Altair.

I work at this cafe; I work part time as a barista. Most of our patrons are white folk. Lots of women come in to get their lattes and such. Many of them happen to be white.

I can totally tell they hate me. I mean, they won't stop glaring at me. Sometimes, they bare their teeth at me, almost as if they're smiling. They also have this bad habit of touching their hair and flipping it every so often while I take their order. It's so annoying.

They even have the audacity to make small talk with me. I try to let the conversation die but they keep pestering me with questions about my personal life. They even throw singles at me like I'm a stripper. I feel so objectified.

All joking aside, maybe what you're saying is true. Maybe what I'm saying is true.

I've certainly experienced prejudice and discrimination when it comes to dating. Some people have the audacity to say it in my face. Some of these girls tell me they don't date Asians. Some are a bit more discreet, saying that I'm not their type. I'm certain there are women who wouldn't date me because they despise me based on my skin color and the shape of my cheekbones and eyes. You can't win them all.

Hell, I can't get every Asian girl to fall for me, so it's quite unrealistic to expect such from other groups, no?

I'm not concerned with what I can't control. I do the best with what I've got and let the chips fall where they may.

If a woman doesn't find me attractive, there's little I can do to consciously change her mind short of brainwashing her.


I'm convinced that racism/prejudice is a learned, conscious behavior, and attraction is a biological, unconscious, automatic process. I see women who will prattle on about what they want in men on paper, but all those criteria fall to the wayside when an attractive man commands her attention.

But the real question is, why would you want to date someone who is so ardently racist, whether she is overtly acting in such a way or is more closeted about it? If she has such values, what would possess a man to want to date her? My attraction towards women who are so close-minded and hateful is nonexistent. The moment I learn of a woman's true colors in that regard, I withdraw my attention. I have no time or patience for people like that. I have no room for negativity and bigotry.

This is a natural screening process. I don't care whether you're looking for casual relationships or not. You should have standards for the types of people you bring into your life, whether it be for one night or something more.

Hmm well we can't help what we find attractive. Not dating a certain race does not make you racist it just means your not into the way they look. I'm a white guy who never sleeps with white girls cause I don't like the way they look and I find Asian girls physically attractive, So I always go with Asian girls and sometimes black girls. Does not mean I think white women are inferior people, they just don't have the physical features I find attractive personally. No need to demonize white left wing women who don't date Asian guys as racist cause there not, they just like a certain look.

Weighing in on this as an Asian guy myself.

First of all, most "liberal" white girls aren't really rejecting Asian guys because they aren't attracted to Asian features, they're doing so because of bad stereotypes they've heard about Asian men. We are all oppressive, we all "small", we are all "foreign and strange", and so on. Many of these feminist types hate Asian men because somehow our ethnic appearance embodies us as being oppressive foreigners.

I strongly doubt it has that much to do with physical attraction, most of these girls just view Asian men as a stereotype. Everyone is allowed to have a preference, I have no issue with theirs, the issue I have is that these same women who would attach the nastiest stereotypes on Asian men will somehow show empathy for brownie points on their social media pages whenever some disaster happens in Asia or talk about how racism is so wrong.

As for the OP.

It doesn't change a thing because Trump supporters don't really hate Asians all that much. We're the "good" minorities and Asian guys are slowly starting to become more and more popular in media (Glenn from Walking Dead, well when he used to be on there, thanks for nothing Neghan!!!). I doubt most Trump supporters are all that racist, they just want a government that cares for the American people.
