Hmm, I never saw it that way though I'm not saying that's wrong. I think with Near Eastern and South Asian women that's more the case since the misogyny of their societies is frequently emphasized in mainstream discourse but the stereotype of the East Asian man is not of a raging misogynist but rather an effeminate, impotent male. So I think here more so than white savior its more like white machismo where they view themselves as taking the women of "beta" men, kinda like the way interracial BBC cuckhold porn is often framed around a hyper-masculine black male taking the white woman of an effeminate white male.
Maybe I'm splitting hairs here, either way we can agree...
