I’m white myself, and although I’ve never dated any Chinese girl, there’s no denying that When I was in China last year, I was pursued by a lot of local girls.

This crazy act of foreign snobbean has always made me uncomfortable.

White people are not only popular in China, but also popular around the world, and the root cause is obvious:

European and American imperialism. Because of the hegemonism implemented by Europe and the United States in the past 150 years, the so-called “globalization” world is actually a “Westernized” world, so people all over the world have been greatly influenced by Western culture in many ways, whether it is in clothing, aesthetics, economic models, or in living habits, learning English trends and so on. With the increasing contact between China and the western world in recent decades, the aesthetic view of Chinese is gradually similar to that of westerners.

Because of the influence of American drama, Western magazines, and Hollywood, there are many Chinese women who think that double eyelids are good-looking, and some women even make their faces white in order to cater to this aesthetic, but the eyelids do not really conform to the traditional aesthetic of Chinese. At the same time, in the eyes of many Chinese girls, white men in Europe and the United States are rich, tall, fashionable, romantic, strong, confident, high-quality image. I guess this is due to the false impression of the widespread spread of American drama, because to be honest, many white Americans and Americans like to go to a lot of girls, their quality is not necessarily higher than other ethnic groups. American drama is really different from real life.

If the world was first conquered by Chinese, then I firmly believe that women all over the world will think that yellow skin, black hair, black eyes, or meet the traditional Chinese standard of three eyes is the best look, the best and the best. Some people may not like this answer, because this opinion can really make people feel very unsteady. But the natural superiority of Westerners and part of the Chinese’s reverence is really engraved in the bone, because many times we do not know, the so-called history brainwashed. Chinese and white Americans and Americans can only truly awaken if they begin to question their fundamental values.

And in our aesthetic and love view there are some unfair power mechanism, but also a very important part of our values.

—————————————————- updated august 29, 2018—————————————————- I’d like to revise my answer. Some comments pointed out that Chinese the traditional aesthetic concept of a white cover-up three ugly concept, which may indeed strengthen the Chinese of the European and American aesthetic worship, I also agree with this point. Others have come up with the idea of “exoticism”, which makes sense, but blacks and Indians should be less popular than whites in the eyes of most Chinese women.

My updated views are as follows: 1. Some Chinese women like to pursue white, black, Indian and other foreign men of all kinds, to a certain extent, it does have something to do with the concept of “exotic”, as well as a naked foreign-inspired reason.

But whether it’s looking down on Chinese men or things being scarce, we can’t deny that foreign men are generally seen as worth more than Chinese men.

2. However, whites are certainly the most popular group of Chinese women compared to other groups of foreign men, which is mainly determined by two factors:

A. The influence of European and American imperialism

B. Chinese traditional aesthetic skews “skin white beauty”

(It means that of all non-Asian foreign groups, whites are the most consistent with Chinese traditional aesthetic). We can’t judge which factors are more important because they complement each other and are closely integrated. However, these two factors are at the heart of our debate.
