White Boyz & Brown Girlz.
I will not get involved in the debate I hear in pubs & front rooms around the country whenever a bunch of Desi men get together, but its safe to say that most conversations about ‘the ladies’ usually turn to how much ‘White’ men love ‘Asian’ women. In the chilled situations its usually just an observation, whereas add some alcohol to the mix and accusations fly about how its ‘Colonial’, or that ‘White’ women don’t love ‘Asian’ men as much as ‘White’ men love ‘Asian…etc…Yadda Yadda Yadda..!
That debate is for another time and another Blog post – BUT if aforementioned ‘White’ men had a theme song it would surely be ‘Indian Girl’ by Canada’s Peter Jackson & Patrick Christopher. I’m playing this track on my show at the moment, and its a sharp piece of work out next month…I just wish I was a singer, so I could write ‘English Girl’ and make a video that consisted of me gettin my grind on (from behind) with a fit young blonde ting!
Ps. Just so you know – This Website believes with a Fundamentalism that would make Bin Laden cower, that mixed marriages are the future. : )
Right B – its a loaded discussion and larger than the crappy song and video you’ve included in this post… which is not simply about questioning any stereotype of caucasian males seeing East Asian women as exotic and thus desirable.
That being said, the song’s lyrics are well – trite, misogynistic, juvenile and most certainly orientalist.
