    It’s interesting to see in the comments here and elsewhere people that haven’t figured out how capitalist white supremacy patriarchy and a foreign wife are a natural fit. They think it’s a sign of hypocrisy. Sweet, sweet summer children 😇

      For those that don’t know, Filipina wives have a reputation for being submissive to their husbands and are sought out by certain kinds of American men for that reason. For example, radio personality Art Bell had a Filipina wife and when she died, he met a new Filipina woman 39 years younger than him a few weeks later and was married to her before the end of the year.

      You know, I haven’t really thought about it much, but now that you mention it, explains a whole hell of a lot that I’ve observed. I live in a fairly well off suburb that just lousy with chuds; let’s just say, I’ve observed this pattern a-plenty.

      The good news is, at least from what I’ve seen, their children are growing up better than them. I can’t help but wonder how the impact of having that mindset while raising biracial children plays out in the long term. Guessing a lot more kids take the path so many of this generation has and cuts off their awful parents.
