[asianamericanromance] Very BAD joke about Asian men's dating experiences

This is a very bad joke I've heard. That joke is obviously based on the fact that many Asian men (including myself during much of my younger single years) have felt left out of the dating pool in the USA. From all that I've seen and experienced, there've been 3 major reasons for this: (1) many Asian women prefer white men, (2) very few white women are willing to date an Asian man, and (3) most Asian parents (in my parents' generation) remain extremely opposed to letting their sons date black women.

The joke is as follows (below):
------------------------------------

A group of Asian-American men were "angry" because they've been unable to find a wife or significant other. They were unable to get dates with white or Asian women, and their parents prohibited them from dating black women.

In desperation, they explained their situation to an "expert"
matchmaker. But initially, even the "expert" had trouble finding
matches for those men. Finally, in a stroke of "brilliance," the
matchmaker came up with "the one and only solution" for Asian men to
find a wife in the USA. Here's what he said:

1) If you want to marry a white woman, tell her that you have
terminal cancer and great life insurance.

2) If you want to marry an Asian woman, tell HER PARENTS that you
have terminal cancer and great life insurance.

3) If you want to marry a black woman, tell YOUR parents that SHE
has terminal cancer and great life insurance.
