THE HYPOCRISY OF AMERICAN HATE: FROM STOP ASIAN HATE TO SHAMING ASIAN WOMEN AND TO THE PASSPORT BROS MOVEMENT

“American woman, stay away from me American woman, mama let me be Don’t come a hangin’around my door I don’t want to see your face no more I got more important things to do Than spend my time growing old with you.” - “AmericanWoman”

By the Canadian rock band “The Guess Who” 1969

SAN DIEGO, CA -- No doubt about it, love can mean various things to different people: sex, partnership, thoughtful gestures. But on all these fronts, it seems to me that love is diminishing in the United States, which is why I wrote a column for Valentine’s Day on the issue.

Did you folks know that the percentage of Americans who don’t have a steady partner is up 50% since 1986? Americans are less likely to have sex than at any point since 1989. Fewer Americans are celebrating Valentine’s Day now than they did at the end of the 2000s.

This decline isn’t just about the pandemic since the downward trend was happening before 2020.

So just what the heck is going on?

I wanted to find out if love in America is really dead – and if so, who killed it?

The multinational news channel and website CNN’s Michael Smerconish highlighted some troubling statistics about young men in the United States and argued that they are in crisis. It seemed that the number of American men looking for dates has declined dramatically prompting the $64,000 Question of “Where the Boys are?”

Well….evidently Western men are heading overseas preferably to Asian countries such as Thailand and our beloved old homeland, the Philippines in search of love, happiness and peace in life.

They were looking for traditional women with beautiful faces and chiseled bodies - an antithesis to what they see as an alternative to the disappointing dating market back in their home countries.

I just finished reading a well thought out article by a writer named Lai Qin, who says that American women are mad that women overseas are taking the men they do not want.

She wrote it from her heart and shed light on many of the intricacies that this new movement has.

On January 20, 2023, the

TV program Isaiah Uncensored interviewed one of these so-called Passport Bros and asked him why he titled his podcast “Are overseas women ’easy’ if it isn’t about sex?”

The young man, who is only 23, mind you – said the podcast was not about sex…initially. Plus, he is not a “passport bro” that goes back and forth between countries. He lives in Asia!

He admits that he is in Asia because he wants a wife that cooks for him. The host, a Black man himself says, “Have you even given relationships in America a chance? Are you saying no American woman cooks?”

The young man shrugs saying he dated a lot of American women, and he knows better now (paraphrased). The host then says, “But you’re only 23! You haven’t lived long enough to know!”

Years ago in an Essence (a monthly lifestyle magazine covering fashion, beauty entertainment and culture magazine) publication, there was an article about men (Black men in particular), who said they were leaving American women because they are “too aggressive and do not cook.” I believe the article was well balanced though because of the Brazilian woman’s response: “American (Black) men are cleaner physically and they don’t mind giving me money before they go back to their wives in the states. Some still send money for me and my child.”

I’m restating her words because it was not so long ago. However, the idea here is that nowhere did she mention these men were placing wedding rings on their fingers, and she did not say that these men were treasured human beings.

I don’t think any American woman was upset, because it was not a bad look on them but it did shed light on the Passport Bro situation in all its “glory.”

Here’s the thing, when white men began choosing Asian wives, I do not remember there being a huge deal of them telling each other to grab passports and hop countries to find a wife.

They just did it! Simple as that, too!! No media…no interviews…no bashing their own women – they left! Granted many of them did not have to hop countries, they just chose someone different. This does not mean that all white men did this or that all Asian women are submissive…and we certainly are not generalizing here.

In summation, Proverbs 18:22 says, “When a man finds a wife, he finds a good thing.”

In my opinion, a good man

for they have avoided thy wickedest American women and achieved nirvana with feminine foreign women, restoring the natural balance between feminine and masculine and breeding out leaving in the dust thy wicked western ‘shemen’.” better and stronger family units, too!

Indeed, Passport bros are a new phenomenon of Western men who are deciding to go to Asia and elsewhere to find traditional/ feminine women to wife up because they are either annoyed at the insanely high standards that modern Western women hold, or they don’t share the extreme woke values, or because western women can be hypocrites who want a provider man but they won’t clean or cook.

Passport bros are a variation of ‘Men Going Their Own Way’ (MGTOW) – (an anti-feminist, misogynistic, mostly-online community advocating for men to separate themselves from women and from a society which they believe has been corrupted by feminism) but the passport variant are men who still want to wife up good women instead of rejecting marriage altogether. Passport bros believe that certain women are worthy of marriage and that both husband and wife should contribute to the marriage in some way.

Person 1: Bro the girl on Tinder says I must be 6 feet tall, 6 packs, 6 figure income, pay for all her gifts but she won’t cook or clean.

Passport Bros tend to get “bullied” by western women, who, ironically, prove why those Passport Bros exist in the first place. And for some reason, black men are the primary target of that persecution, though men of all races, especially men with the money to do so, are leaving the west for a better life abroad. Perhaps the bullying comes from the fact that it’s the men with money, the men that these women want the most - that are the ones leaving.

Summing it all up the Passport Bros are finding greener pastures and happier, less stressful, more peaceful lives outside of places like the USA, Canada, and the UK. Period!

However, this trend has also attracted criticism from some African-American women who have made disparaging comments about the women from other countries that these men pursue. This has caused a backlash from supporters of these women, highlighting the unfairness and insensitivity of these comments.

Before the rise of Eurocentrism in the 16th and 17th centuries as an ideology that provided the impetus to bury Ancient Egyptian or other African culture, there was an Egyptian woman named Hypatia. Hypatia and her father, Theon were equally famous for their achievements in philosophy, astronomy, and literature. Despite their popularity, Hypatia’s mother was never identified or revealed in history which I found confounding. Who was Hypatia and why is she relevant to the Black History Month celebration?

First of all, lest I’m misunderstood, some clarifications are in order to establish the Black ancestry of Hypatia. Many people are probably not aware that she was Black because in Greek literature and Hollywood movies such as Agora, portrayed her as White. Agora was a fiction based on true stories. Watching the movie, one can really feel the greatness and Hypatia’s impact on modern civilization.

Just a side note since I opened the door to Hollywood, I'm glad that Michael Jackson’s “Remember the Time” official video brings us back to Ancient Egypt when it was part of Kemet, or the Land of the Black People. Mind you, some scholars even argue that all black people are descended from ancient Egypt. In Michael Jackson’s video, Queen Ahmose-Nefertari, who was the first Queen of the 18th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, is shown prominently.

There is really no existing picture of Hypatia, therefore, sculptures in Greece and Egypt that depict her as white should be taken at face value because she’s been “Europeanized,” meaning owned by virtue of her amazing accomplishments. The fact that her mother was never identified in history books tells me that she could have been a slave.

It is important to remember that race in our contextual understanding of the word, is more or less, a modern albeit medieval invention. Ancient civilizations never looked at race as “race” in our current context. In simple terms to relate it to racism, ancients were not concerned about the color of the skin other than looking for a good woman is ideal and traditional.

What do you think?

Well…?

In recent times, there has been a noticeable shift in the dating landscape with some American men opting to travel to other countries to find partners, commonly referred to as the Passport Bros.

FYI: The “Passport Bros” are men who have chosen to seek out foreign women, typically from other countries, for relationships. They believe that western women have been influenced by cultural and societal pressures to behave in a certain way, and that by seeking out foreign women, they can find a more authentic, fulfilling, and harmonious relationship. This is seen as a way to restore the natural balance between masculine and feminine energy, and to avoid the “wickedness” of western women.

“Mike has been traveling to different countries for the past year and has earned himself the nickname ‘Passport Bros’ among his friends, due to his tendency to only date foreign women.”

They point to the fact that men who understand that western women “have drunk the cool aid pass the point of no return”, so to speak - and got their passports to enjoy happiness and peace with fit, friendly foreign women.

And that to all of them, the Lord said “God bless the Passport Bros,

Person 2: Dude, just become passport bros like me. My wife is foreign and we are happily married for 5 years so far.

It is important to recognize that individuals have different preferences when it comes to relationships, and generalizing or making derogatory comments about a group of people is not appropriate. Additionally, shaming any group of people, whether it is for their race, gender, or nationality, is wrong and goes against the efforts to fight hate and discrimination.

Men in the west, who understand that the west (particularly the U.S.) is a sinking ship both financially and culturally, and therefore, choose to live in countries such as the Philippines where their money goes farther and they’re treated with more respect, particularly by women.

Passport Bros appreciate that their lives would be better in places like Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe, because strong family values are still seen as the norm in places like that. Hook-up culture isn’t as rampant in those parts of the world, and thus, the population especially the women, are far less “damaged.” And they do create

The recent ‘Stop Asian Hate’ movement has certainly brought to light the alarming rise of antiAsian hate incidents, leading to an increase in public awareness and measure to address the issue. However, it is concerning to see that some individuals who were supportive of this movement are now humiliating Asian women for being more attractive to American https://www.vox.com/22820364/ stop-asian-hate-movement-atlantashootings men, which is seen as a reason for men pursuing partners from other countries.
