Oxford study

A term used widely online to describe a wmaf (white male asian female) couple. The term originates from a supposed Oxford study that Asian women have a preference for white men (though I have never seen it).

This term online is largely used to target Asian women who decide to date a white guy, who critics often describe as “mid”.

This term is hypocritical as it has a negative connotation, while a “reverse oxford theory” couple (asian male white female) carries a positive connotation.

This creates a possible theory that this term is largely spread by insecure men who are using it as a scapegoat for them being single. While racism does exist in the asian community, the term goes against the values of people who believe in:

- The ability to date who you want, regardless of race, without judgement
- Ending racism

Guy 2: “Yup, Oxford study strikes again”
Guy 3: “Y’all just need to work on yourself, stop blaming others for your problems.”

Oxford Study

Refers to wmaf pairings (white male+asian female) and is typically commented when the Asian woman is far more conventionally attractive than the white male although this is not always the case.

While it does not refer to a particular study, there are hundreds of studies relating to the fact that Asian women as diaspora often have internalized racism and tend to date out of their race more than any other race of women.

The term started by the African American blacknogginzX on twitter in 2023 who noticed a pattern of Asian women attempting to get into relationships with white supremicists, self proclaimed incels and far right individuals.

Since then the term has gained traction and has become a broad societal crituque on the 'white worshipping' tendencies of Asian diaspora.

Proponents often cite the high outmarriage rate amongst Asian women, the fact that Asian women vote alt right and conservatively compared to their male counterparts, and the highly visible marriages between Asian women and Neonazis.

Those critical of the term often cite misogyny in Asian culture as a justification for marriage and/or relationships with prominent neonazis for instance.

Oxford Study

Typically used to describe a White Male Asian Female (WMAF) interracial relationship couple.

The phrase is used in a ugly tone to describe this type of couple as the phonomena is common, widespread and the reasonings are complex and deep rooted that is required an academic study at the highest level i.e, at Oxford. Sometimes also referred to as Harvard Study.

This term has been originated from TikTok and was used since Covid lockdown but became more known in 2023. You also see this comment commonly on Instagram Reels and less commonly other Facebook/Twitter.

An Asian Male White Female couple would be referred to as a reverse Oxford study. This term infers a positive tone.
