The WHIGGIE (White Guy Groupie)
A brief profile of Asian women afflicted with "white fever"
NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH: Intelligent, emotionally-secure women who are free of identity problems, self-hate, racial prejudice and chips on their shoulders.
CHARACTER TRAITS:
- Poorly developed self-identity. Pathetically insecure with themselves and their ethnicity.
- Resentment of father's traditional, authoritarian upbringing (whether real or perceived).
- Brainwashed into believing that they, as AF's, are more desirablethan other women in an exotic lotus blossum kinda way. Willingness to pander to western media sexual stereotypes of AF's, which they
perceive as a marketing advantage.
- Delusions of grandeur..."I want it all...and that begins with the right (i.e. white) guy...". Asian-American princess complex.
- Exaggerated perception of white males' value in increasing AF's social status.

- Ignorant and narrow-minded, eager to adopt and perpetuate fallacious western media stereotypes of Asian men.
- A compulsion to trash Asians, particularly Asian men, in order to justify their autoracist tendencies, placate their guilt and bolster their self esteem.
TYPICAL WHIGGIE QUIPS:age 10: "Mom, why do we have to be (Chinese/Japanese/Korean)? Do you have to dress like that? And what's with dad and his accent?
"I've always only dated white guys. I don't know why, I just have."
"Race doesn't matter. I just happen to like white guys. It's just a preference."
"I've gone out with all kinds of guys...Dutch, English, French, German,
you name it. Even went out with a Jewish guy once! After all, love is color blind."
"Ooh, Roger, you're like, soooo strong and intelligent. Did you say you drive a beemer? Kewl! (giggle)"
"Why would I want to go out with an Asian guy? They don't own me or anything. Uhh, and besides, they're all male chauvinists..and domineering too...yeah, that's it!
