Male lead is either some chopped ass unc or prime dolph Lundgren

always a naval🏳️‍🌈/colonial officer

the asian woman is either a poor hooker or daughter of a nobleman.

"Well, she was just 13, I was thirty-one,"

asian woman's father is trapping her in their ultra conservative life style, when all she wants to do is run away with the exotic white man and see what america/Britain is like

White man is trapped in a boring life and a boring marriage, so he uses the asian woman as an escape from life very hedonistically

The asian woman is willing to throw absolutely everything away just for him, but white man won't do the same since by the end of the film, he simply returns to his boring life while she ends up dead/exiled/vague ending/baby mama/forever mourning her fling

White man narrates in 1st POV about this fling, in a nostalgic tone

anime waifu cringe

"White man's burden"

If she's a poor hooker, white man tries to save her from "sinning" while trying his best to fight off his own lust

asian woman rebels against society and her family

White man "rebels" by entering a relationship with a "less than" and cheating on his boring wife despite his comrades advising against it

asian woman was suppose to be in an arranged marriage with an Asian guy of high noble status

Story can't decide if it's chinese or Japanese or Vietnamese

Settled in the 1700s-1960s

Comment about how robust and tall and manly the white man is, like a stallion idk

Comment about how exotic, smol uwu and passive the asian woman is like a "lotus flower"

This beautiful story is filled with so much hurt and pain. A perfect encapsulation of the hurt and pain that the natives as felt, hispanic and latin people. Of the hurt and pain the Black people have felt, African Americans and those of mixed Afro ethnicity. Of the hurt and pain that Asian people have felt, Asian Americans and the natives of the Hawaiian islands. The hurt and pain that Jewish people have felt. The hurt and pain that we continue to feel today... In the "land of the free"

And in our pain we have clawed our way out. We have fought kicking and screaming to have our basic human rights. Rights that still to this day are ignored in favor of the system of white supremacy.

And in our pain, in our fight we have kicked down others who are equally oppressed. Allowing the colonizer to pit us against each other. When we should be our strongest allies.

And today, while there is still a struggle, we move more and more towards a future where we 100% have each-others backs. We share each other's stories, sign each others petitions, walk together in protest.

But that doesn't mean that with every step of the way the system won't fight back. Abortion rights, the pipe lines and oil drills. Schools banning books on the Lgbtqia+ community, Black and native history. Police brutality. Anti-Semitism. Hate crimes against APPI. Police raiding peaceful protests and arresting water protestors, POC, trans individuals. All for using their human right to speak their voice against destruction of their land, against violence and abuse again their communities.

Septembris mul on võimalus soome, korea, v Türgi keelt õppida. Praegu ma tahan soome keelt valida

Aga minu probleem on- soome keele klass on Eesti keeles. Ma saan hästi eesti keelt rääkida (noh, olen välismaalane, ma arvan nii, ma saan rohkem kui "tere" ja "aitäh" öelda), aga soome grammatika võib olla raske kui Eesti grammatika on juba raske minule
