In the first place.

He's probably not very kind.

and starts picking up enough slang to realize everybody else in town thinks her new husband is a total wanker.

I know a lot of marriages that broke up when the mail order bride learned enough English to know she had a way out.

I wish they'd start making Real Dolls a little cheaper. There are a lot of men out there for whom they would be perfect. Just hire a cleaning service once a week and they'd be in heaven.

That's my suggestion for him. I hope he takes it.

...perfect!

Exactly

The Department of Shenmue approves.

the philosopher Hildebrand was a raving misogynist and racist, conservative?

But I don't know enough about his philosophy--but this surprises me not at all.

He married a woman from Birkina Faso nine years ago (fantastic woman, by the way) who shares this same sentiment, more or less.

For the last few years he has been pestering me to find a "mail order bride" from overseas, with the idea that I would be "rescuing" such a woman from a life of poverty. I kindly tell him I'm not interested in such a thing, but he persists.

He also thinks that arranged marriages are the "natural" way of finding a mate, and that our current dalliance with romantic love as a basis for marriage is a "fad."

Amazing where one can find these types of attitudes.

after they have been royally rejected as a creep by the ones they're tearing down

The right wing types want a personal slave that waits on them constantly. They don't want a woman that is an equal partner. They don't like uppity American women who go to college, work, and have their own opinions.

I have met several who married women from the Phillipines, Russia, and China. And some of these guys get taken for thousands of dollars from the woman, when the woman is a con artist.

"genuine substance" must be a dog whistle for "personal cook and maid".

The quality and extent of butt hurt he has from being rejected is astounding. And you are right - he's playing into racial stereotypes and prejudice - yikes.

Yuyoishida (sp?) has written about some of what she has experienced as an Asian woman. I think - I think I feel worse for the woman in Asia, India, etc etc that gets sucked in by this dirtbag. Yuck.

Tries to hide behind religion--but at root, that's not the real problem. He wants someone he thinks is compliant, someone he can feel stronger than. This kind of racism isn't all that uncommon, and the Pan-Asian women bear the burden of stereo-types from assholes like this.

Russian mail order brides, post WW2Japanese war brides, all 'favored" by some American male who thinks modern wimmin have lost their way...a sad, old tale that refuses to die.
