1. I am upset that a white guy is rich: not at all. A lot of the foreigners in China do tend in general to be wealthier than locals. I think this is the case elsewhere.

2. I call these women whores for being with a white guy: not at all. The “whore of the orient” is a phrase I have heard elsewhere, and I don’t think that Chinese, or any other women, being in an interracial marriage is equatable to being a whore, a very loaded word to begin with.

3. There should be more white women for Chinese men: not necessarily. The points I raised were merely seeking to answer the question as to why there are less white woman-Chinese men relationships in China by comparison; where did you get the idea I was calling for more such relationships?

You claim I ignore Chinese culture’s emphasis on economic interest within dating/marriage to focus on race: indeed, the point of this post is about interracial dating. I agree that such interests play a significant part in Chinese dating, (as elsewhere) and I believe I make that point clear, but the main question is why are interracial couples so common, and why are they so skewed in one direction?

For example, in India, economic interests (among others, such as caste) are equally critical parts of marriage, and there are plenty of foreigners living there, but you see far less interracial coupling. Why? Culture, as I think that the beginning of my post and Ty’s response allude to. In China, a lot of women seek a more modern, some would say ‘liberated’ relationship, whereas in India, regardless of whether or not Indian women also desire such relationships, the strengths of traditions, culture (“You must marry ‘your own’”), personal preference limit such relationships.

Beyond these points, your last paragraph makes a couple of large claims: firstly, that ‘proper’ development requires diversity and open-mindedness. Without wanting to go into too much detail, I agree that both are conducive to development, but that heterogenity is not always required. You can define ‘proper’ development as you wish, but Japan is an examples of a developed, but relatively homogenous society.

Your last point, to put it bluntly, is totally wack. You imply that Han Chinese are a homogenous entity, which is a gross generalization. Within the classification ‘Han’ are numerous varied cultures, languages and histories: Hakka people, of which I belong, for one. Beyond that, there are dozens of minorities living here, all of unique heritage and interest. I can guarantee you that the many visitors that China receives do not necessarily find its supposed ‘homogeneity’ boring. In fact, their ‘homogeneity’, and the culture which makes it different from visitor’s own lands, is often what draws people to come in the first place. If anything, a lot of foreigners find that the most cosmopolitan places–Beijing, Shanghai, etc.–are so similar to their own cities that they seek other parts of the country for a more ‘authentic’ experience.

I suggest you consider your own partialities before you attack others with ad hominem attacks.

You call these women whores basically for being with a white guy yet you think there should be more white women for Chinese guys. Do you realize how childish your thinking is?

China has a Han Chinese population of over 95%. European countries are much more diverse and open-minded, which is what needs to happen for a country to develop properly. If China remains boring and homogeneous then who the hell would want to visit it?
