somebody ought to study the emerging phenomenon of mass intermarriage between pinays and caucasians.


the internet is such a wild place. but given that internet cafes and sites don't have any way to monitor these web-based meeting places, there is a fairly high chance of someone somewhere getting sucked into some sort of exploitative situations.


both sides try to be as nice as possible. there may even be a good percentage of people meeting truly nice acquaintances. but for every good chance, how many more do so for easy pleasure, or easy bucks?


it is true that when people fall in love, it distinguishes neither age, nor creed, nor in this phenomenon, race. but why is it that many caucasian men love asian women in ways that confuse even asian men?


for their exoticism. women in the orient are viewed as pre-moral, that is, they freely commit of themselves to their men without pre-conceived notions of morality. in other words, without guilt, and without hassles. this is an assumption that comes from the east having produced such cultural icons as the kamasutra, and the geisha. add to this the fact that the west's economic superiority also means that the men almost always can assume the role of "breadwinner/provider" to the women's family with relative "ease."

what results is a quick relationship whose roots, reasons and future can be labyrinthine. multiplied by sheer number, the potential disaster of this social minefield can indeed have a huge impact on our society.

what impacts? of course, there's human trafficking. there's HIV/AIDS. there's multiple marriages and subsequent divorces and its impact on the kids. there's social security. i imagine it can almost turn into the wholescale pimping of provincial barrio lasses! no wonder many people in Mindanao talk about the sudden proliferation of internet cafes as if these were rapidly becoming centers for prostitution.

to be fair, i know of many marriages between caucasian men and piany women which are stronger than the rest of ours. it's not really a matter of race, but of sincerity. if people are really in love, they have as much right as others to do whatever they please. but again, at what social cost?
