Unspun

The double “unsavoury” is always a nice touch, particularly when a “preying” follows close behind!

As you are fond of doing perhaps we should ask some of the Indonesian women who have been preyed upon to offer up their take on the matter!

Just because an older western or caucasian man marries a younger Asian woman does not mean that it is always the old white bloke preying on the poor Asian woman!

The situation that this post refers to is one that is rife with bad stories by the sounds of things. However, it is unfair to take these examples and use them as a generalization to apply to all inter-racial relationships.

Hopefully, stories like this one can gain widespread coverage and garner sufficient interest in the community that if this is a situation of poverty dictating the practice then these families can get support and programs can be put into place to address the issues.

Secondly, I hope this finally puts to rest the idea that all Indonesians of Chinese heritage are filthy rich and living off the misery of the indigenous Indonesia population. Clearly in Singkawang there is severe poverty and this wealth does not exist, except perhaps with the brokers in these transactions.

In any event after 4 or 5 generations in a particular country I think you have earned the right to just be Indonesian without the addition of Chinese or Arab or Indian or whatever other ancestories exist.

Now I think I have posted twice without success?

As if Asian girls aren’t introverted enough, just rip them from their mommy’s bosom! Talk about reclusive!

I saw that country. Everbody must been there. And i dont know what can i say about chinese girl. (:

“old unsavory Westerners preying on young nubile Asian women that we often see.”

Yep I sure am, wife is 34, I’m 37, however she is Asian and I am Caucasian so I guess I fit the bill. Strange though, that I come from a mostly blue collar background, auto workers, farmers, construction workers, etc. Her family are all white collar, VP of a bank, regional director for a major pharmaceutical company, film producer, engineers. I am such a predator that when I first moved to Asia her family gave me a new car for a gift and helped us get set up. They even forced let us live in their 15 room house for a year while our business was getting off the ground.

Thinking of it actually, since her family is rich and mine is not, perhaps we can change your quote.

“young nubile Asian women preying on old unsavory Westerners that we often see.”

Why not? Her family is far richer and better educated then mine. So she must have been playing on the inequities in our social standings and preying upon me. Now I feel violated. Sure glad she did it though.

It’s sad that women are sold as brides to foreign men. But I suppose if these men are genuinely looking for a wife and family life, it could be a blessing for these women as they are taken out of poverty.

Wow alot of young boys read this site with only one hand left over to use the keyboard.
