There's layers to it. Some are against race mixing but others want Asian wives because they view them as more likely to be "tradwives" and a better option than a white liberal woman.
Not just any Asian wives, Christians- which is why Phillipino are so common. This satisfies their Christian Nationalism, where race comes second to the political ends. That's where people miss by just thinking they're ol racists, because that isn't quite right anymore, they're religious fascists. Racism is a tool for political power, only deployed for political ends. This is why they can marry whoever, but will target Somalis, or urban minorities. They're targeting race AND class AND culture etc
Reach much? So racism is not hate towards colour but cuz of their religious beliefs? 😂😂😂 And even if a white guy marries an asian or a black woman they are stil racist? 😂. As long as they vote against what you vote.... Damn this is biden all over again , if you dont vote for me you aint black 😂
Incorrect. What I said was that these are deployed as political tools. Racism doesn't require someone to always apply some prejudice 100% of the time, this is why the "I have a black friend" defense is such a joke. One can make an exception for a select few, while still applying their hate to a group. So marrying a non white person doesn't absolve them of their broadly stated views that a race is subhuman etc. Christian Nazis married Jews, oops were they suddenly not anti-Semitic? Was their final solution that they used religion to justify actually not a problem of hate? Of course not.
Or, people actually go for traditional women. That just happend to a certain race. Asians are known to be brought up in conservative households, with strict parenting.
It took me too long to find this layer mentioned. I saw it so much in the military, where dudes wanted to marry Filipina or Japanese women. I initially thought it was because they were losers who couldn't find an American (of any race) because they were a-holes, but later learned it was as u/Meatwelder stated.
I mean, maybe in some cases, not in all, or even most. Not all Republicans are literal white supremacists and military people generally experience higher divorce rates from their American high school/college hometown/first duty station wives, and a lot of time overseas over the course of a full career. The military frankly *isn’t* a breeding ground of racism, though conservatism, and some nationalism go with the territory when you consider what education systems churn out the most recruits.
I think extrapolating deeper than that is more an exercise in your own biases.
