What do i do with this friend who thinks only a east Asian man can save her ?
So for context my friend , F17 , quite a naive girl and if something is bad is happening to her , she will take time to understand. For example:- we went out one day and she was wearing crop top and high waisted jeans . Me and other friends realised that some men sitting a feet away from us were pretending to take a selfie but take a photo of her so I went and I covered her from behind but she kept asking what we were doing . We told her that something is trying to take a photo of her and but she didn't that . So we had to go in detail of why is that not appropriate thing .
Additional context , me and her are part of a friend group and have been classmates for over 3 years . She is hardcore anime and kpop fan but mostly has this love for Japan. And her wish is to go and study in Japan and get settled in Japan. But here is the weird part , that she wants to marry a Japanese man . Until now there was where the conversation was at and i didn't say anything.
Cut to this trip we went to and I kind of got insecure and she was sitting with in this bus we were travelling in . I told her that I wish that a man in good faith compliments me . I take back what i said because I rather not but that time I was just not feeling well . Now my friend, says " i wish Japanese /Korean men compliments for my beauty " . Now she is beautiful but I got icked out but that sentence because it just fetishziation of men of certain culture and expecting this from them certainly is just depressing. And i told her why not from any other men you know and she was " no i find those men weird " . I was like girl as if men in as places weird and I just went on a rampant on how she shouldn't be expecting that from a certain group of men and well how her view of them isn't even real and a compliment in good faith is something to take from even it comes from some other men . She got angry with me and I choose to say nothing because I also got annoyed.
And further context, her parents are overly controlling and she recently went to this trip to Malaysia and came back to school back and said she saw Chinese Malaysians and how she wished she had confidence approach them . I am personally get so done with her but then I feel bad for this girl because she likely is going to get taken advantage of and i just don't know what to do . Personally I get rage baited every second.
