Re: 'To All The Boys I've Loved Before' Has Creepy Racial Things Going On | Plan A Magazine

This movie is an excellent reminder of the lingering pseudo-, false-, 1980’s style liberal take on AF representation of what it’s supposed to be like for an Asian-American (Canadian) teen. Movies like this were made to frame the narrative of WMs were the natural partner for AFs back then (a tsunami of them,with nothing showing the opposite or any different couplings). People haven’t discussed the normalization of this in Disney, Nickelodeon and other kids channels which also exclusively pair young Asian girls with white boys with no Asian boy in sight (except maybe Ravi an Indian-American boy, there are no East Asian-American looking boy). Solid work of imprinting and propaganda work to frame Asian boys and girls psyche on their future place in the American gendered racial caste system.

This is a great article. This story seems to literally be the dream world of white worshipping AF who want a world with only white men and only Asian women. She even made the father white so there’s literally no Asian men.

Excellent, well-written piece. The actress doesn't do the movie any service (not that it is worthy of any) by saying she and the author demands more male Asian romantic leads in American films, yet have none to show in this one. As was said in the article, the movie is portraying whiteness as peak masculinity, whereas the minority races are seen as nonexistent or feminine. I can't imagine how much these genuine issues will be ignored and deemed as "overreaction" by the general audience, some of whom are of our own race.

Wow, that was very well-written. He hit the nail right on the head by labeling it “racial neo-liberalism”. That’s exactly what it is. Putting aside the author’s own self-hate, there’s an obvious reason why this film is so marketable- it’s “progressive” in the most bare-minimum way, to be palatable to a wider, racially ignorant audience. They’re just trying to make a quick buck off the backs of minorities, while erasing the real experiences of Asians/hapas in a Eurocentric society. It’s written like a white person’s fantasy of what it’s like to be a half Asian woman.

Also, lmao at the mom dying from slipping on the kitchen floor. Wtf?

the neo liberalism is too real.... they'll tell you that being progressive means seeing past our skin colour and putting our color blind goggles on. Basically: promote post racial individualism under the guise of true equality, when in reality its just gentrification, white flight, cultural appropriation, and assimilation. So asians eventually don't even identify as asians. Honestly, neo-liberalism kind of props up white supremacy in an indirect way...

(Dean_Friedman)
Exactly. Neoliberalism= “we’ll only tolerate the profitable aspects of your culture”.

The only way you can make it to the top is if you work in the interests of white supremacy. Why do you think AA “acceptance” has a female face? Because Asian women have been sexually commodified.

Jenny Han is a fucking racial fetishizing creep. Period. Seriously she comes off extremely off and creepy.

Let's disagree with her ideas, no need to personally attack her.
Remember, she grew up in the 80s in Virginia, and she's the product of that environment.

Doesn’t matter. She’s still doing severe damage to the Asian community and she’s being backed and supported by white supremacy. Sure there’s a reason why she is the way she is, but would you forgive the Joker because he used to be a good man who fell into a vat of toxic chemicals? Besides, her actions are creepy and fetishistic, nothing he said was wrong. Just look at how she creepily fetishizes her hapa nephews, comparing them to white actors.

I can already see all the news articles about some Asian girl getting killed by her white boyfriend/husband/uncle/brother-in-law/family friend/father. All thanks to people like Jen the Hun *thumbs up*

Gee, what "positive" representation that is /s.

That was an interesting, if depressing, post about the bizarre behaviour of Model-Korean Harvard undergraduate Eldo Kim. Not for the first time — especially as I know many worthy and fully qualified people whom Harvard rejected (not coincidentally white gentile Americans) and a goodly number of cretins (the overwhelming majority not white gentile Americans, despite Harvard’s being in Massachusetts and founded by and for such Americans) upon whom Harvard bestowed the social Golden Ticket of admission — I find a Harvard story illuminates the pathologies of America in the grip of the multicultural Left.
In his post, the commenter Steve mentions what may the biggest single problem about Harvard — along, that is, with its diabolical embrace of every lethal social trend Liberalism can conjure up, and its disproportionate role in shoving them all down the collective throat of unenthusiastic Americans:
—I believe Asians are probably around 25 percent of the Harvard undergrad student body. For male students (more likely to commit this kind of crime) maybe you have another 30 percent Jewish (there tend to be more Jewish males than females at Harvard for whatever reason) and maybe another 15 percent other minority. This leaves less than a third of the male student body who would be non-Jewish white (despite making up a much larger percentage of the general U.S. population).
As Jewish Harvard alumnus Ron Unz demonstrated in his underappreciated article of last year, The Myth of American Meritocracy, the United States has an elite university system that actively despises and excludes ordinary Americans, and does so with extraordinary brazenness — presuming, so far correctly, that white gentile Americans are too cowed to make a fuss about it. In Myth Unz focuses on admissions practices at Harvard, Yale and Princeton (“HYP”), but really concentrates on Harvard. No doubt, as a Harvard alum, of those three moral and intellectual Superfund sites Harvard is the one Unz knows best and where he has the most contacts.
The part of Myth the media briefly noticed was the first half, where Unz addresses discrepancies in admissions of Asians — by which he really means Orientals, which makes this relevant to the case of violence-prone peace activist Eldo Kim. Unz concluded that Asian applicants are held to a higher standard than (some) others, and thus HYP are holding their numbers down lest their campuses be transformed into ivy-garlanded Chinatowns.
The second part the media buried instantly: Unz’s two controversial conclusions. The first is that while Asians may be discriminated against to some extent in HYP — especially H — admissions, they are not discriminated against to anything like the same degree as white gentile Americans, over whom those putatively discriminated-against Asians are still preferred. The second is the radioactive conclusion, one Unz could publicly acknowledge reaching only because he is both Jewish and a Harvard grad: HYP — again, especially H — discriminate outrageously in favor of Jewish applicants, to a degree not remotely explained by superior Jewish scholastic performance (something Unz demonstrates is by now largely a myth anyway, relative to high-achieving white gentile Americans). This Unz attributes primarily to ethnic nepotism, witting or otherwise, on the part of largely Jewish admissions staffs at HYP. Unz is bracingly frank about the extent to which HYP and several other universities in the United States have effectively become Jewish institutions. In that context, Unz makes two further points: (i) Jewish applicants are not disadvantaged by the “need” to reject qualified applicants in order to admit the “appropriate” quotas of blacks and Latin Americans, and therefore (ii) white gentile Americans pay the Affirmative Action tariff in full. Indeed — as Espenshade and Radford noted in their study — traditional American extra-curricular activities (4-H, JROTC, etc.) actively harm one’s chances of admission to HYP and their analogues.
In criticising you for drawing what he thinks is an unwarranted conclusion about Asian criminality based on Kim’s misbehaviour at Harvard (which I don’t think you did), Steve misses the big issue even though it is right there in his comment. From the point of view of ordinary Americans — by whom I mean white gentile ones, who are still overwhelmingly the largest group in the U.S. population and include the descendants of nation’s settlers and founders — the United States’ elite universities, which for better or worse (mostly worse) are primary feeders into the national elite, are enemy territory. They are largely run by and for the benefit of people who often have no or only shallow roots in America, are often viscerally hostile to the traditional America, and exercise their hostility by keeping their schools’ drawbridges firmly up in the face of what one might well call traditional Americans. Those Americans should find that situation intolerable, but most entirely fail to notice it, except to grumble about the obvious discrimination in favor of blacks and Hispanics. Even when someone like Ron Unz — who actually knows the score — tells the truth about it, his article can only see print in a magazine he owns and publishes himself. And, of course, the rest of the media buried what Unz revealed just as soon as they could.
It may be odd that young Harvard Man Kim thinks sending bomb threats is good way to bolster his GPA. But not nearly as odd as that a 377-year-old American (or used to be) college is full of Eldo Kims in the first place.
