An entire imgur album and its barely scratching the surface of millions and millions of hilarious stories https://imgur.com/a/msAbb2m

They act all embarassed and awkward when they go and its people wanna take pics of them and hand their babies to them and hahaha im just a blonde blue eyed tall white im just a silly foreigner i dont get the big deal hahaha. But whether they are aware of it or not the Hitler Particles lodged within their bodies vibrate with joy when the wacky Asians hand their children to them and want pictures and say how envious they are of their white skin and do everything but suck them off. They act like the ppl are crazy but they secretly love that shit. Every r*ddit thread about visiting Asia or even even the Middle east, occasionally even Africa is full of people with anecdotes about being treated like royals for being blonde and blue-eyed in Asia. All of them have an anecdote even in completely unrelated topics (like the comment on a post about a kid wanting to pet someones dog) whether its real or fake. If its fake thats even worse because they are fantasizing about it. Japanese call this bihaku, the indians call it fair and lovely just like the name of the skin-whitening cream unilever flooded the country with, theres a million names for it all over asia. Euro/White/CANZUK etc tourists in Asia love the internalized colorism no matter how hard they go chris pratt voice well this is awkward, not only does it make them feel like theyre the ones being treated like circus animals as some kind of equilibrium between them and for example the Phillipines human zoos, they also love how it strokes their egos in that demented way

          Sure, the compliments might not be totally genuine, but most people probably appreciate that someone is at least trying to speak their language.

          Except the French :france-cool:

        Americans used to be surprised by ethnics who could speak English at a native level. This happened within living memory. Bruce Lee used to resent it when he had act foreign on The Green Hornet, because Americans heads would explode if he spoke normally.

      my fave meme about this is (warning for self-harm/suicide)

      spoiler

      "clueless white guy shocks natives with senseless act of suicide"

      but yeah tbh on this topic oriental pearl doesnt seem actually genuinely racist or a sexpat just kind of a naive weeb but that vid of her talking to the artisanal soap maker like a teacher talking to a little kid was annoying to watch

      edit: one more thing about those videos i feel like half of them basically just know some generic phrases and they say theyre like some kind of polyglot like come on
