The Star, Monday 2nd October had this article in the Singapore section. Two articles, matter of fact. One on top of the other. First one was how Singaporean men had difficulty finding local wives and had to resort to foreign women - foreign meaning Vietnamese and I would believe Indochinese women through match-making agencies. Second article was about how the number of women marrying foreign men has risen since last year - foreign meaning white men, western men, men with fair skin, of European origin.
So. When did this distinction come about, eh. No other type of ‘foreign’ men were included in the article. God knows how many women married foreign men of other countries, other colour. Pakistani, anyone? Maybe Middle Eastern. Indonesian. Are they not freaking foreigners to Singapore too? If you read the article, you’d see that the only type of foreign men mentioned are white men. I’m quite baffled as to why there was no mention, not even hints, of men of other colour except bleached. The impression I get of Singaporean women from this is that they are shallow prawn-brained shits (blame the article, not me) who would chase after a white foreign man if the opportunity presented itself rather than settle with a local because of the age-old ‘Oh, Asian men aren’t as romantic as Western men.’ Might be true, but then again is romance what most Asian women are really looking for? Face it, values differ from place to place. On such a tiny island as Singapore, it couldn’t possibly differ to the extent of women wanting to impersonate Hollywood damsels and men wanting a woman who would be more comfortable living a century and a half ago. Wake up and smell the beans. Keanu Reeves is Keanu Reeves for a reason. He gets paid for being romantic in The Lake House. Highly, too. Women are more than personal maids. We be nice to you if you be nice to us, we demand respect and gratitude when we massage your feet and bear your children, bla bla bla. Bah. Singaporeans.
Since when did race matter anyhow if they advocated such liberal, equal rights. Why is there even an article about how many Singaporean women married white foreign men. Asia News Network, bloody &*#*@^@^* cunts. If you want to give statistics, then give a more truthful unbiased report. Not this piece of shit.
Agree with me. These men who resort to match-making agencies are unable to find a local woman (REGARDLESS OF RACE, be it Malay, Chinese, Indian, etc.) maybe due to work, due to ugliness (then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and so on and so forth), incompatibility, no pursuing spirit or whatever fucking reason they have to order a bride. Most of the men in this match-making agency hoo-ha want a submissive slave woman. ‘More demure and accomodating,’ quoth I. I have no qualms about that. If that’s their piece of heaven, then so be it. Whatever. No hassle of courtship. No disappointments. I can understand that. Even if the bride does not speak the same language, there’s always body language to fall back on. Conclusion: Singaporean women are bitches and all Singaporean men should look beyond their shores for companionship? Whatever again.
What irks me is how the second article laid out foreign as white. Every single example was of an American or an Australian or a Brit or what-have-you. The rest of the world, to the writer, disappeared into darkness. The rest of married foreign men who aren’t white simply do not exist. If you were an alien from Chubchub reading that particular article, you’d think that foreign = white. Christ, even mainland Chinese would be foreign to Singapore. Taiwanese, Korean, Japanese, whatever shade of yellow you can find would still be foreign. Black, purple, brown, green.
So why. Why do agencies pay for this kind of subtle but nevertheless racist crap.
