The article is talking about the research of Thomas Le. He believes that Asian women who are internally racist, want to date white men.

The issue is how he defines internal racism. The two question were shown as lighter skin is better and sometimes I wish I wasn’t Asian.

The first question ignores lighter skin has always been more desired in many Asian cultures going back thousands of years. It meant a high class person since they weren’t exposed to the sun. It has nothing to do with being white.

The second question by itself doesn’t provide any useful data. My kid wanted to be Chinese when she was younger. She wasn’t racist towards herself. She just wanted to be Chinese.
