Asian fetishist - take care
According to a UC Davis study, a half-Asian half-white person is twice as likely as a monoracial Asian-American to show symptoms of a psychological disorder, including depression, substance abuse, or anxiety— 34% to 17%.
Interesting, huh? Do the added benefits of mixed-raceness come with consequences for one’s sense of self? It really seems likely - I mean, psychologically, it’s tough enough growing up with Asian parents in an area that’s almost all white and judges you by different standards than those you face at home, much less with a potential culture clash underlying your family life. But I’m not sure— after all, my parents are both from Korea.
