Bitter Asian Men

Bitter Asian Men: Here's a website that's amusing, sensible, and, I hope, empathy-building:

"Welcome to Bitter Asian Men, the site made by bitter asian men, for bitter asian men... and also for all of you out there who might be curious as to why we, as asian men, are so bitter. Are you a BAM looking for the right way to express his rage at the world? You've come to the right place. Are you [an Asian woman] looking for insight as to why your Asian ex-boyfriend isn't talking to you after you dumped him and started dating some frat boy? Again, you've come to the right place. Wonder why that Asian guy glares at you every time you ask him what brand of egg rolls he likes best? You're definitely in the right place!

I've long pointed out -- beginning with "Is Love Colorblind?" -- that much of the bitterness felt by many Asian-American males toward whites is perfectly understandable if you look at the gender gap in white-Asian interracial marriages. Of course, that has led to quite a lot of Asian male bitterness being directed at me and my family personally, on the principle of kill-the-bearer-of-bad-news. As Enoch Powell said in his much denounced 1968 speech:

"Above all, people are disposed to mistake predicting troubles for causing troubles and even for desiring troubles: ‘if only’, they love to think, ‘if only people wouldn't talk about it, it probably wouldn't happen.' Perhaps this habit goes back to the primitive belief that the word and the thing, the name and the object, are identical."

And I wasn't even making a prediction, just committing the sin of documenting on paper what everybody who lives in a cosmopolitan American city has seen with his own lying eyes.
