> What are they supposed to do when they are beaten and locked out of the house for 24 hours with no food to eat?

Is this a serious question?

If that happens, you call the cops like the victim of any other kind of assault. I have a friend who did this and had dad arrested and taken to court. It worked phenomenally well - she was never beat ever again - wonder why?!

> Both of which presumably do not have a background of strict parenting

Nah bro, your reading is incorrect, not my hypothesis.

That's my point. Having an Asian significant other would be too much of a reminder of their shitty upbringing, or they irrationally believe they would be somehow subjecting their own kids to the same experience. I personally think it's a post traumatic stress reaction.

Like any other assault, you need proof that abuse actually happened and you just didn't slip and fall. And how is a 8 year old kid supposed to know? Also what about the threats to bring them to China, free to beat them as much as they like, if they told the police? (And yes all this actually happened).

Maybe that's true to a small extent, but the statistics from Okcupid shows that skin color is a much greater factor.

Dude, you are confusing the effect for the cause.

LOL I don't even know if they have a name for that kind of logical fallacy.


If your hypothesis was correct, the response rate from asian females to asian males would be much lower than the asian male average.

Just because one child did it, doesn't mean all children can. Heck, even adults can't sometimes. Haven't you ever heard of Stockholm syndrome? Or battered wife syndrome? Going up against someone who has power over you is hard.


I sure have, look at my other comments in the thread.

And I agree, it's hard, and not everyone can do it.
