Marie Claire: Asian Women Are Trophy Wives

Harry Mok - August 13, 2009

This subject gets rehashed every few months, and this article in Marie Claire magazine [1] by Ying Chu doesn't add much to the discussion

The article just seems to point out that a number of rich and powerful white men are married to Asian women, so therefore, they are trophy wives. Woody Allen and Soon Yi-Previn have been together forever, so there's nothing new to report here.

There's been some chatter about this on Twitter and at 8Asians [2], The Frisky [3] and YouOffendMeYouOffendMyFamily [4], but no comments on the Marie Claire site [1], surprisingly.

I didn't really see the point of this article. But maybe my eyes just glaze over now when this subject is raised.

What's your reaction?
