This is a case of the paradox of tolerance. Painting with a broad brush is not entirely avoidable in every context. We understand that when it's done indiscriminately, it can be harmful. However, applied in a contextual manner, it conveys meaningful information. That's what KLNM did - describing a well know behavioral issue on the part of one demographic. There's even a casual term for it - yellow fever.Skanda wrote:KLNM, not to take anything away from your post. But this stereotyping of a race is racism.

They somehow see them as soft, docile and compliant. “Massage parlor” businesses intentionally cater to those fantasies. Usually the women there are severely exploited.
It is functionally different when one demographic views another in blanket terms, versus someone like KLNM just trying to describe that phenomenon. The western view here is deep seated, dating back over 120 years, the desire for temporary dalliances expressed in popular operas like Madame Butterfly for example.
