'Once, halfway through a date I thought was going well, the man bluntly asked, which of your parents is the half?”
, I struggle to trust men, always worried about when I might get quizzed on manga or my DNA. Or, worse, that months into dating, I’ll find out he has a thing for “mixed chicks.”
Rationally, I know not all men see me this way. But when you’ve spent so much of your life feeling valued for your foreign features, it can be hard to shake the suspicion that you might scroll through someone’s Facebook photos and discover that all of his exes look like you. Several times over, I’ve gone on dates with men I later found out exclusively date Asian women. Over drinks, I’ve been pestered about whether I speak Cantonese or Mandarin, as if those were my only two options. I’ve been casually informed that half-Asian women have “tighter vaginas, everyone knows.” Once, halfway through a date I thought was going well, the man bluntly asked, “Which of your parents is the half?”, which rely on appearance, are a primary way for me to meet people.
