近日一則來自中國社交平台的新聞引起熱議：一名在華就讀的烏克蘭留學生拍攝自己與20歲中國女生約會的影片，並將其上傳到網路公開炫耀。他在影片中強調，整場約會都是由女生主動買單，甚至還包辦打車費用。最後他更直言，這一切都是因為他是白人，認為中國男性無法享受這樣的待遇。這番言論一出，不僅在中國網路社群引起激烈爭論，在台灣的網友之間也引起強烈共鳴。

許多台灣網友在討論中指出，這種「待遇差異」在台灣同樣存在。有網友坦言，台灣女性在面對白人男性時，往往展現出熱情與主動，不僅願意倒追，還會爭著替對方付錢、開車接送，態度明顯與面對亞洲男性時不同。一些網友抱怨，若是與亞洲男性約會，台灣女生往往挑三揀四，對經濟條件、外貌、生活方式等要求苛刻，讓不少男性覺得不公平。

這件事也讓一些外國男性的心態曝光。有部分烏克蘭男生在相關討論中表示，如果要認真考慮婚姻，他們的首選依然會是當地的女性，因為在文化背景與生活習慣上更為契合。然而，若是抱著「想躺平、不想努力」的心態，一些人則會偏好亞洲女性，因為認為她們願意在感情中付出更多，甚至在金錢與生活照顧上主動承擔。這樣的直白言論，引起亞洲網友的強烈不滿，也被認為帶有物化與不尊重的意味。

從社會觀察的角度來看，這起事件觸及到亞洲女性與白人男性交往的刻板印象與現實問題。一方面，部分女性確實可能因為崇洋心理或社會氛圍影響，對外國男性展現出不同於本地男性的態度；另一方面，這也反映出亞洲男性在兩性市場中所感受到的壓力與不平衡。對於女性而言，這樣的爭議也可能帶來反思：究竟自己在跨文化關係中所展現的主動與付出，是基於真心，還是源於無意識的文化崇拜。

總體而言，這名烏克蘭留學生的「炫耀影片」不只是單一事件，而是再度點燃亞洲社會中關於「兩性不平等」「跨國戀愛」與「種族偏好」的討論。台灣與中國網友的共鳴，更顯示這並非孤立現象，而是一種廣泛存在於東亞社會的矛盾心態。

Recently, a piece of news from Chinese social media sparked heated discussion. A Ukrainian student studying in China recorded his date with a 20-year-old Chinese woman and uploaded the video online to show off. In the footage, he emphasized that the woman paid for the entire date, even covering taxi fares. He then summed it up by saying that it was all “because I am white,” adding that Chinese men could never enjoy such treatment. His remarks triggered strong debate not only in China but also among netizens in Taiwan.

Many Taiwanese netizens commented that this “double standard” exists in Taiwan as well. They admitted that Taiwanese women often show enthusiasm and take the initiative when it comes to dating white men. Some even described how women would eagerly pursue foreigners, insist on paying bills, or drive them around—behaviors not usually displayed toward Asian men. By contrast, they argued, when dating Asian men, many Taiwanese women tend to be more selective, demanding higher standards in terms of financial stability, looks, or lifestyle, leaving local men feeling it is unfair.

The controversy also revealed some foreign men’s attitudes. Several Ukrainian men shared their views, stating that if they were considering marriage seriously, they would prefer local women due to cultural compatibility and lifestyle alignment. However, if they wanted to “take it easy and avoid effort,” some said they would choose Asian women, whom they believed were more willing to invest in relationships financially and emotionally. Such blunt comments provoked backlash, with many Asian netizens criticizing them as objectifying and disrespectful.

From a sociological perspective, this incident touches on stereotypes and realities surrounding relationships between Asian women and white men. On one hand, some women may indeed be influenced by a sense of “worshipping the West” or social pressures, leading to different attitudes toward foreign partners. On the other hand, it reflects the frustrations Asian men feel about imbalance in the dating scene. For women, the controversy may also prompt reflection: whether their initiative and generosity in cross-cultural relationships are genuine or subconsciously shaped by cultural admiration.

Overall, the Ukrainian student’s “boastful video” is more than just a personal story. It reignited wider debates in Asian societies about gender inequality, interracial dating, and racial preferences. The strong reactions from both Chinese and Taiwanese netizens show that this is not an isolated incident but part of a broader cultural tension present across East Asia.
