RaceGlobalization in Asia (self.AsianMasculinity)

lucidsleeper が 投稿

As you all know, the world is becoming increasingly globalized in the last two decades due to the rise of the internet, advancement in transportation technology, the breaking down of overall international political tension and strengthening economic ties all across the world.

So, this means a little bit of this and a little bit of that from a foreign, usually country with high base of soft power, will come flooding into your country if you aren't closed off to the world. For us Asians this means western culture and western mentality are flooding into our homelands. The good part is we get a cheap one-way ticket to faster modernization and economic development. The bad part is eventually some cancerous ideologies from western cultures, usually America will penetrate into the mindset of some young easily influenced Asians who are growing up in a globalized society.

While they are still a minority, they are growing. I'm talking about Asians who've come to embrace western-style left wing 'progressive' thinking. They've adopted 'yellow guilt', feeling like they owe westerners both white and black alike something due to how alien-ized western expats are in Asian societies. That's right, yellow guilt, they feel guilty for the people who masterminded the Opium Wars, the creators of "French Indochina" and "British Raj", the people who thought dropping two nuclear bombs on a Mongoloid nation is okay but on a white nation is not.

Case in point is this video, and also many other videos from this channel in general.

And this documentary.

Not only do they fail to rebrand the Asian identity as a positive one, they seek to bring down the Asian cultural identity, and attempt to reduce it to a carbon copy Starbucks clone of American cultural, social and political identity. They are snuffing the rise of Asians re-discovering their own masculinity before we even begin.

If Hallyu wave is poster of positive Asian cultural and identity promotion, then this is everything opposite. A SJW-like idea if you will, that Asians are bad as we are, and we need to act more 'white' or physically mix ourselves with whites and blacks in order to be more 'socio-politically progressive' and having a moral higher ground.

What do you guys think?

Why the hell do Asian countries need to globalize to the point of feeling they have to welcome foreigners in who don't even respect the people and have kids without thinking about the consequences? White countries allow multiculturalism is because that is the least they can do for all the colonization and imperialism, asians don't suffer that guilt because we weren't involved.

Also these videos, they make it seem like asians are bad for bullying the hapa but in america, asians in general are bullied, doesn't matter if you are korean or chinese, all the same. Who gives a damn about socio-political progress, that area isn't america.

Western culture is a fucking cancer that needs to be cut out. It makes asian look like a victim that needs to be conquered by enforcing their white male asian female ideas. imagine china was like that, everything would be destroyed. we don't want to be philippines where they are so mentally colonized that they are willling to be america's pawn against china. and philippines, the mixed race happens to be on tv and the regular pinoy not so much.

Globlization should be BY OUR TERMS, not thrown to us by others. Kpop rises asian male SMV and it injects the world in a positive way. China and japan should promote their men value to the utmost extreme to curb interracial dating disparity. It is stupid to have more asian female white male in china when there are millions of chinese men alone, this makes no sense. We don't need to act more white. Let's spread this message, be proud of who you are, don't follow America because it is going to the toilet.

Asians should feel ZERO guilt for white crimes. That's on them and their "all-loving god."

And, fuck western styled immigration/multiculturalism. They have that because they needed cheap labor. First it was slaves (Native Indian, Black, irish) then Chinese coolies (after they "ended slavery"), then it was the new New Jim Crow (see the book) with for profit prisons filled with Black and Hispanic youth, and now it's h1b coolies 2.0.

We don't owe them anything. In fact, they owe us war reparations plus interest.

In western countries Asian people are not respected especially the men. Were treated like utilities and tools especially the men and we have to promote multiculturalism in Asia? Please fucking go, were not the liberals in the west. Asia hasn't even gotten enough power to start playing the nice card. Asian people do not need to follow the mistakes of the west allowing immigration to limit the native population. Why don't you westerners get the fuck out of Asia because western born Asians aren't treated exactly with dignity in your home countries. The cognitive dissonance is too real.

One of things that bugs me is that they try to push multiculturalism in some of the most homogenous monoculture societies in East Asia. There definitely should be some laws against discrimination, but pushing the idea that a country and culture that was battered heavily throughout the century needs to step aside and let a million different foreign cultures come in is absurd. Then when someone from that country makes a "insensitive" comment, label that entire country as being racist for not accepting foreigners, hapas and etc. That there is much more absurd. Of course this is almost every mindset of a lot of expats in east Asia specifically Korea. This also brings up another thing, why is it that the only people who complain about mixed race people being treated poorly in Asia are not mixed race themselves. I honestly felt more welcome in rural Korea than I did in DIVERSE Nor Cal at times. Why is that?

It's cultural imperialism in another form. Except instead of Christianity of yesteryear it's now American liberalism. I don't particularly object to multiculturalism but taking cultural values that have entirely different historical and geo-demographic context and attempting to clumsily superimpose it like some crude bodyshop job is assumption of its universality and thus its superiority.

Exactly! Funny how Liberals are the ones who complain about US imperialism yet they are practicing a form of it by setting up shop in traditionally conservative Asian countries.

multiculturalism is the price whitey have to pay for robbing the entire world.we asians kept shit in the family so all those yellow guilt talks is fucking mindless

I disagree with punishing "whitey." But I do agree that "Asian privilege" is bull shit.

[–]kashnomon 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Shit the way I see it, the american dream involves immigrants coming here, working their asses off, and integrating in order to be racist to the next wave of immigrants. Multiculturalism is just a natural side effect of this.

Atomically bombed by US, stripped of its military, adopts western games like baseball, loves america, now dealing with grown men who are afraid of girls...

That said though they have amazing accomplishments and work ethic, which seems to be intact at least to me.

Just deport them out of the country and settle them in AmuriKKKa. Asia has no need for American-style 'progressive' leftardism.

You make it seem like globalization is one way - west going to east. It's not. There is plenty of Asian culture / ideas / religion / business / technology that has influenced the west in very deep ways. Its popular to say trashy Hollywood entertainment is the driving force pushing western ideas / culture to the east, but movies, music, television, technology from Asia is strongly influencing people (especially younger people) in North America, UK, Australia, New Zealand, etc. Asian electronics manufacturers pump their Asian designed mobile phoned, laptops, etc on western customers. Much of the technology revolution in the US is being led by Asians. Google and Microsoft's CEOs are Asian! If you're going to complain about Starbucks, why not complain about Samsung, Asus, Toyota and so many many others? Millions of western tourists come and pump tourists dollars into Asian destinations. I'm not saying globalization is completely a good thing, but it has benefited Asian countries in significant ways - most notably by creating higher standards of living in Asian countries that create and export entertainment, manufacture and export goods and are open for tourism. The west has been influenced just as much if not more by globalization.

Brother, you only thinking economically, not geopolitically or culturally. Cultural imperialism is very fucking real, and by and large, the arrow is pointing in only one direction.

Soft power is a concept developed by Joseph Nye of Harvard University to describe the ability to attract and co-opt rather than coerce, use force or give money as a means of persuasion. Soft power is the ability to shape the preferences of others through appeal and attraction. A defining feature of soft power is that it is noncoercive; the currency of soft power is culture, political values, and foreign policies.

NYT defends Fortune 500's global human exploitation

While the US funds and arms sectarian death squads across the Arab World under the guise of “promoting democracy,” it props up its own economy on a vast network of global human exploitation. From Walmart’s sweatshop-death traps in Bangladesh, to Apple’s deplorable partnership with Taiwan’s Foxconn, millions go underpaid while overworked under dangerous, inhumane conditions to fuel America’s consumerist paradigm.

Helping to stave off the inevitable, is the New York Times, whose article, “Signs of Changes Taking Hold in Electronics Factories in China,” makes an absolute mockery out of both their own readership’s intelligence as well as the plight of the vast workforce subjected to Western human exploitation. The “signs of change” NYT reports on, include the replacement of 5 dollar plastic stools with 10 dollar wooden chairs and “increased wages” that still fall well below fair compensation.

In reality, corporations like Walmart and Apple do business overseas because the workers they exploit there will never have to be fairly compensated or treated humanely to the degree demanded in the West – should they ever be, there would be absolutely no point of outsourcing jobs overseas in the first place.

Globalization has influenced the West alright... it's influenced the wallets of fat cats, corporate tycoons, and crooked politicians playing Civ 4 in developing countries overseas. Sure, a few Asian brands may become "global" in the process, but only by bowing down to the Brave New World and helping expedite White Supremacy worldwide. Why is it that every Toyota commercial you see has White people frolicking in their 1950s styled picket fenced version of Disneyland? Why is it that Hallyu can only touch down on these red, white, and blue shores if it's repackaged into racist caricatures such as Make It Pop and Gangnam Style? Why is it that thousands of years of Hindu culture, religion, and civilization turn into McDonaldized Hot Yoga centers in Beverly Hills when it's exported overseas?
