Interesting post, thanks.
> The most curious thing here is the amount of Asian dislike for Whites, despite these going actually getting along well in real life on jobs etc. I don't know how to account for this.
Admittedly speculative but perhaps:
1. Resentment over imbalanced sex ratio in dating with whites. Asian women do date men of other races other than whites but seemingly much less than demographic weights would imply. This leads to charges of being "white-worshippers" by some embittered East Asian men. By the same token, East Asians have long complained of being discriminated against in the dating market. Many of them seem to have an obsession with white women in particular, so the imbalanced ratios becomes very personal and humiliating for some of the men (who are very loud in various online forums). I suspect these enraged/embittered men make some dint at the margins.
2. Lots of young East Asians are incredibly leftist, particularly women. A vivid example of this was a video I saw a few years ago of an East Asian women being openly attacked by a black male on the street. Afterwards, she was interviewed and she somehow managed to blame "white supremacy". I suspect we underestimate the full extent of the brainwashing that has gone on in many of those communities.
3. It's a well-known meme that many women who rant about white men often end up dating white men. Some years ago, a virulently anti-white East Asian woman was hired by the NYT and then it was revealed that she had a white bf. If you look at AOC, Ilan Omar and others they all engage in anti-white rhetoric but still have white boyfriends. Indeed, even many white racists have non-white gfs. It's an interesting phenomenon to be sure, but seems to be a universal pattern across groups. I don't think it has much - if any - bearing on the ratings differentials. People across all races seem to be fully capable of disliking a particular group in a political sense yet still have intimate relations on a personal level.
Everyone viscerally knows the "stop Asian hate" thing was stupid. It all started because that guy in Atlanta murdered 8 misuses because they wouldn't give him a happy ending massage. It wasn't even a hate crime and not all his victims were even Asian. The media just went with this bizarre anti-asian racism narrative and began producing these stories where Asians were being "targetted for their race" but they were really just being mugged by black people who everyone knows commit almost all the crime anyway. I guarantee Asians are 100 times more uneasy around random blacks than whites.
Also you might be interested in an article Ron Unz posted on his site unz.com about racial crime rates (sorry I'm out and don't have time to find the link). Basically low socioeconomic status is more strongly correlated with crime than being Latino but less strongly correlated than being black. The only thing really more closely correlated with crime is fatherlessness which is basically a synonym for being black anyway. Just something interesting to look into that kind of defeats the narrative that black people commit more crime because they're poorer.
