Definitions of AMWF

1.

A relationship consisting of an Asian Male and a White Female.

David Kim: There's this commonly held myth that's lately been propagated in American society that white males are acting on some sort of "Asian fetish" that's a byproduct of this country's postcolonial history which leads to an inclination (by white males) to date Asian girls... I don't buy it. After all, what about the other half of the relationship? Even if all of that crap were true, how would this explain why an Asian girl would want to date a white male? Is she not an independent actor in this equation? Is there some postmodern psychobabble that explains a latent desire for her to date someone who ostensibly represents a former colonial master?

Christy Smith: Most of the Asian girls that end up with white guys are pretty ugly and most of the white guys in these relationships are douches. By the way, I'm going to start a AMWF forum on Facebook. Will you join?

David Kim: Okay!

2.

An Asian Male and White Female relationship. The smaller but more balanced counterpart to WMAF (White Male and Asian Female). Instead of marrying for sexual fetishism, race and prestige, most AMWF relationships are built on love, respect and being equal partners. It's two confident individuals rowing against the currents of institutionalized racism. Most AMWF couples have equal educational attainment and bring in similar incomes. As a result AMWF hapa children are also more balanced. The AMWF hapa sons see a well educated and responsible role-model in their Asian dads, and the hapa daughters see a strong, independent and progressive woman in their white mothers.

Mike: Did you notice that most famous and successful half-Asian half-white people are actually a product of AMWF relationships and not the other way around despite being vastly outnumbered?

Lindsey: Yeah, Tim Wu, Chloe Bennett (Wang), and Dean Cain Tanaka are hot!
