the beabadoobee effect

When South East Asian alt women are fetishised by ignorant men who think they have some form of resemblance to the British singer-songwriter beabadoobee (whose ethnicity is Filipino). The note of resemblance is often untrue, and is usually credited to the fact that they are simply South East Asian.

"He looked at me funny." "You're Filipino, it's just the beabadoobee effect."

Dude2 : You are falling to the dunning-kruger effect (seriously wtf why do I have to include the word in this), all you know is how to add and subtract
