| Hi AussiePB, I agree that a dog is a dog irrespective of nationality. But my view is that we're not bashing evil dogs, but are rather feeling sorry for the Chinese women who have fallen into the traps of the evil dogs. The situation is: He (= the hunter) exploits young and innocent women in China (= the environment). You argue by replacing the hunter and stressing that locals could do the same. I would argue by replacing the environment. In a different environment, where white men are not regarded as the superior race, the dog's track record would be much less splendid. This view shifts my focus away from the hunter to the women (= the prey). The reality in China is that white men have a much larger and easier-to-get pool of potential prey, and I don't mean in terms of absolute population (that would be comparing apples with oranges) but in % of the total population. A significant amount of white men who have failed at home go to China and other Asian countries for exactly this reason! The advantages of dating foreigners from Chinese women's perspective have been outlined further above. And women who do date foreigners do it on their own will. But most of them are not necessarily aware of what the foreigner they are dating really has in mind. That's why I believe it is legitimate to warn Chinese women of foreigners and to advise them to vet them more carefully. I know this is not fair to all good foreigners, and it doesn't protect the Chinese women from bad Chinese men, but it does help naive Chinese women become more cautious and more mature. As part of a natural process, they would (hopefully) become more able to differentiate between good foreigners and bad foreigners, and also good locals and bad locals. |
