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 1: “Is that Ashley’s new boyfriend?”
Guy 2: “Yup, Oxford study strikes again”
Guy 3: “Y’all just need to work on yourself, stop blaming others for your problems.”
