With their current wives

Right: Nancy Wiesenfeld-Moonves
It was hard to find photos of Nancy Wiesenfeld-Moonves, but I was struck by her delicate beauty, compared with the "Dragon Lady" look of Julie Chen.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The blog title uses strong language, but how can we (I) not comment on this phenomenon? These days, I see several white male/Asian female couples a day. It is intriguing why this is so. My theory is that white women are getting difficult to be around, partly because of feminism, and partly because white women are by nature more outspoken than Asians (which I think makes white women, sans the feminism, ideal companions for white men, since they become good sounding boards and encouragers of the adventuress spirit of white men).
The Asian women, as I've observed, appear more docile when with white men. But two of the loudest public arguments I heard in a street were between an Asian woman and a white man. I think this docility is an initial step towards "getting" the white man. But it is also a sustained camouflage throughout the relationship and even marriage (which must be really difficult to sustain, especially for the "feminist" minded, Westernized Asian women, and hence the arguments I was privy to in public). It is also a kind of passive aggressive competitiveness to draw white men away from white men. And why white men? I think it is a status/material thing. White men are more likely to provide better qualities of life for their families than Asian men would.
I've spoken (not written) about the materialistic inclination of Asian women vis-à-vis white men. I don't know if these Asian women (whether "Westernized"/Western-born or immigrant Asians) really love their white men, or if their primary instinct is to find the best provider around. And the best provider around is clearly (still) the white man. Of course, all women want men who can provide for them and take care of them, but the spiritual and love element in mating seems to me to be less so in Asian women (and Asian men too). I will try to investigate on this further. Asian forums and boards are often the best places to go, and I have so far found some evidence to support my thoughts that there is less romantic love in the couplings of Asians. So, more on this later, since I think that besides the interracial component, the materialistic component of Asian culture has profound implications for our civilization.
Several high profile white men have taken up Asian wives. They often divorce their first, white wives, to marry the Asian women. Media Mogul Rupert Murdoch, CBS Chairman Les Moonves, and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg have Asian wives. Murdoch and Les Moonves both divorced their first, white, wives before marrying their second, Asian, wives, although both had affairs with the Asian women while still married to their first wives. Mark Zuckerberg skipped the white wife period, since marrying an Asian woman is no longer a social anomaly, but it will be interesting to see how his marriage fares with his Westernized and Western-born Chinese-American wife.
Below is some background on these men and their wives. I'm not saying that there is necessarily a direct association between character flaw and marrying out of one's race (and specifically marrying an Asian woman), but it is interesting that all three of these high-profile men behaved in dubious ways, using their prominent careers to advance their status.
1. Mark Zuckerberg
Zuckerberg may have built the most successful "social networking" site, yet Facebook is getting known for exposing the private information of its users. Of course, those who post private information on a public website (albeit with "friends" restrictions) deserve what they get. But, this is worse than that. Facebook participants, with the support of Zuckerberg and his group, "flame" users whose comments they don't like, and even spread their names and comments to their professional and personal contacts.
Here's what one user Safari Man has to say, from Lucianne.com:
I do believe people will eventually realize how dangerous (or at least disadvantageous) it can be to publish all sorts of personal details for the world to see. I cancelled by FaceBook account immediately upon learning they send a message to all my friends and told them how I voted on a poltical poll. Bad, bad, bad. Many people are going to find they cannot get a good job, or will at least lose friends. There have been murders spraked by FaceBook content. Our society hasn't yet learned the downsides.And on a technical note, this is what user joew9 has to say, following the same Lucianne.com conversation:
Zuckerberg is an arrogant snot for not showing some respect. I was offered IPO shares and declined -- do not want to have anything to do with this punk.
I finally gave up [on Facebook] last night in utter frustration and decided to deactivate my account. I spent another 30 minutes just trying to figure out how to do it. The whole thing has become a kluge of features with no cohesive flow. It needs to be re-written into a simple interface. Especially one that informs the user just what is going to happen with a post or a like click. The friends list appears to be just random instead of alphabetical. You should be able to organize friends into groups. When you send a post you should be able to control in a very clear manner exactly who gets to see it. When you click Like you should be able to control exactly who gets to see it. You should be able to click on something and see exactly how your page looks to friends, non-friends, members of friend groups, etc. I'm done with this GUI. Apple needs to create a replacement. They write excellent GUIs. Even Microsoft would be better. With all the money facebook has you would think they would hire someone to write a decent GUI.- Priscialla Chan, Zuckerberg's wife
She influenced his interest in China2. Les Moonves
Zuckerberg's wife, who is Chinese-American, is fluent in English, Spanish and Cantonese, according to the Daily Beast.
In 2010, he started studying Chinese to prepare for a trip to China with Chan, who has some family in China, he told Oprah Winfrey at the time. Though he didn't become fluent, he was able to at least communicate with his bride-to-be's grandmother.
From Trendsbuzz.com:
In April 2003, Nancy Moonves [Les Moonves' wife] filed for divorce in L.A. Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences, according to her lawyer Dennis Wasser. Nancy and Les Moonves were already living apart.- Julie Chen, Moonves' wife
In 2004, although his divorce from Nancy was not yet finalized, Les Moonves began dating CBS' The Early Show reporter Julie Chen. On December 10, 2004, Moonves got a court to grant an early divorce. Tired of waiting, Moonves' motion cited a "desire to return to the status of being single". Moonves foresaw a lengthy trial to settle the property and other issues. He argued that "terminating the marital status will aid in promoting settlement of this matter", and the judge gave his request the stamp of approval—leaving the divorce's alimony, child support and property division details to be determined later—so he could remarry. Just thirteen days later in Mexico, he married television and news personality Julie Chen.
Moonves, who is CEO of CBS, the channel which hosts his wife's Julie Chen's day time program The Talk, which is a copy of the popular and unpleasant The View, and said half jokingly, "I love my wife so much, and if this doesn't work I'll cancel you." Chen herself reiterated to her staff, mincing no words, "My husband can fire your asses, any day." Even Barbara Walters didn't use her "connections" to half-threaten her crew with crass "I'll fire you" jokes.
Chen did end up firing two talented members of her original panel: actresses Leah Remini (Jewish/Italian) and Holly Robinson (black), who probably wouldn't toe the line. Marissa Jaret Winokur, the talented Jewish stage actress who plays the overweight Tracy Turnblad in the Hairspray musical, left with the statement "there really wasn't room for my segments," which included "Mom in the Street."
Chen did refill her multicultural panel (that is part of the show's point, to showcase the wonderful "diversity" that is out there). She brought on board the uninteresting and unintelligent black woman comedian Sheryl Underwood, and the relatively unknown black actress Aisha Tyler.
The current "panel" and crew of The Talk is:
- Sara Gilbert: a lesbian activist actress who talks about "my ex-girlfriend" and "my children" on the show. Her "children" were clearly born via artificial insemination of some kind. This website describes her two children as: "Each of them [Gilbert and then "girlfriend" Allison Adler] is the biological mother of one of the children."
Gilbert is listed as "Executive Producer" and "creator" of the show, and chose all the original panelists, including asking Chen to be the "head." This was a clever way of running the show without losing all those viewers who would be repulsed by her "lifestyle" and her lack of charisma if she had been its "spokes 'person.'" The show also gives her a sounding board, which she has used very effectively, to proclaim her various "lifestyle" choices, including having children while in a homosexual relationship.
- Sharon Osbourne: the foul-mouthed British import who is making the rounds on American TV talk shows.
- Sheryl Underwood: a black, "Republican," stand-up comedian, who nonetheless seems to support many of the ultra-liberal positions of the show, including accepting to be on the show with a lesbian, "mother" of two, co-host.
- Aisha Tyler: a relatively unknown black TV personality and actress. Chen/Gilbert probably brought her on board because of her interracial marriage, in accordance with the liberal "equality" mantra.
- Manny Rodriguez: the Hispanic director of The Talk who won "Best Long Form Video"Latin Grammy for directing the music video of homosexual Latin star Ricky Martin.
Below is a review of the show's ratings after the "shake-up" (or "shake-down" which might better describe the show's activities):
...The Talk ratings in July (1.9 average) and up slightly from the last in-season month in May (1.7 average). So no big audience surge for the new Talk panel, but no drop off eitherThese numbers belie The Talk's relatively low average of 1.83 million viewers per episode, compared with 4.42 million for The View. This gives some credence to the rumors out there that Moonves is financing The Talk to help his wife's career move along.

3. Rupert Murdoch
Probably to biggest and latest public figure scandal is surrounding Rupert Murdoch. Here is a brief description of his recent activities:
In July 2011 Murdoch faced allegations that his companies, including the News of the World, owned by News Corporation, had been regularly hacking the phones of celebrities, royalty and public citizens. He faces police and government investigations into bribery and corruption by the British government and FBI investigations in the US.[Source: Wikipedia- Wendi Deng, Murdoch's wife:
When her family relocated to Guangzhou in southern China, she changed her name to Wen Di, enrolled in medical school but quit, and then befriended an American family, the Cherrys. Like her own father, Jake Cherry was a factory manager and an engineer. Wendi learned English from him and his wife, Joyce. Their friendship grew and the Cherrys agreed to sponsor the 19-year-old Chinese woman to come to the U.S. for undergrad courses at California State University in Northridge. There Wendi lived with the Cherrys, sometimes sharing a room with their young daughter. She eventually moved out, and two years later, in 1990, married Jake, who by that time had divorced Joyce. After a marriage that lasted long enough for Wendi to obtain her U.S. green card, Wendi divorced Jake, who is three decades her senior. (Jake had discovered she was having an affair with a younger man, David Wolf, whom Wendi later married but later divorced as well.)Wikipedia continues about her relationship with Murdoch:
...17 days after divorcing his second wife, Murdoch, then aged 68, married Chinese-born Deng Wendi (Wendi Deng). She was 30, a recent Yale School of Management graduate, and a newly appointed vice-president of his STAR TV. Murdoch has two children with her.I am not one to speculate, but the data shows that there must have been something going on before the "divorce," which implies that this activity could have been the cause of the divorce. In any case, Deng's "activities" tell us enough about her. Here is a quote from Anna Murdoch, his second (white) wife:
I think that Rupert's affair with Wendi Deng –- it's not an original plot –- was the end of the marriage [with Anna Murdoch]. His determination to continue with that.
