The manosphere dudes are at least half the problem, but their existence certainly doesn't explain all those ridiculous articles from women trying to explain their fetish for mediocre white dudes as some sort of deep cultural awakening.
As for reactionary politics from parents, that's also a huge problem but ironically it's the manosphere dudes who tend to push back against that by advocating interracial dating.
the manosphere dudes are largely a product of the white fetishism that goes on in the asian female community, asian chicks post hart-celler really threw asian guys under the bus. someone on here a while back said this was a common sociological phenomenon for 1st/2nd generation immigrant women but i'm pretty sure the degree to which whiteness is fetishized in asian female communities remains an outlier, sociological phenomena notwithstanding.
the type of reactionary politics i was referring to mostly consists of standard american conservatism: rampant anti-blackness, bootstraps mentality, communists ruined our country, america was good to us, we wuz khanz/colonize the colonizer narratives, etc. as an aside, i'm really skeptical of the whole 'asian manosphere does interracial dating' thing, i just can't see the massive insecurities they carry around being good for even a normal relationship, much less an interracial one.
Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan really helped mainstream the idea of interracial dating and marriage. The book was a smash hit and so was the movie. It played constantly on Lifetime for years.
