Lily Macapinlac, an Asian Instagram model with more than 3 million followers, is under fire for old tweets about refusing to date Asian men.
“If another short old Asian dude tries buying me a drink, I’m going to puke on them,” Macapinlac, who goes by Lily May Mac, wrote on Twitter in 2013.
The 22-year-old beauty, who’s Filipina and based in Sydney, has bashed Asian men in several tweets over the past five years and professed her preference for “cute white boys.”
“Definitely going to marry a white boy, [and] I want a half-cast [sic] baby,” she wrote in one tweet.
In another post, she added, “My dad is cheering me on. He said ‘If he’s white then it’s okay.’”
Social media users dug up the tweets this week. One, on Imgur, accused the model of having “white fever.”
Eliza Romero, a Filipino-American fashion photographer, told Next Shark, “Her dating preferences were clearly rooted in self-hatred and internalized racism.”
