> However let's not overlook that it is a societal problem that a large amount of the US population does not care about Asians at all apart from porn.

Why is this a problem? The premise was hate, but now the goalposts have moved to indifference.

Have you studied Romanian history or are they beneath you racially? Or, do you disagree with the premise of the question?

I would be fine with people not caring about Asians if at the same time they didn't watch so much Asian porn.

I would also be fine if people watched a lot of Asian porn if at the same time they cared about Asian culture and history.

But the fact that people disproportionately watch Asian porn while not caring about Asian people is pretty weird and racist to me.

Why should these things be related? Novelty is actually one of the things that sexually attracts men so even if porn viewers were all amateur historians these would probably be anti-correlated.

But why does it matter anyway? Is it bad to like pierogis without having an in-depth understanding of the holodomor? Should we stop listening to foreign music until we ensure we have a "proper" understanding of the political issues the artists grew up under?

Actually, incest porn appears to be the most watched. What does that say about the exploitation of the incestuous?
