Following increased international migration to China, the number of relationships between foreign women and Chinese men has risen. This article studies how 'white women' are racialized in the Chinese context through analysing the meaning of the term . Based on an analysis of online content about these relationships in English and Chinese, this article demonstrates that different racial frameworks interact when the meaning of race is negotiated in romantic relationships that are not only racialized, but also international and multilingual. Finally, it shows how racial narratives are sometimes reproduced through white/ women's accounts aimed at negating negative stereotypes about their husbands.
随着国际人口向中国迁移的增加,外国女性与中国男性之间的恋爱关系数量有所上升。本文通过分析“白人女性”这一术语的含义,研究其在中国语境中是如何被种族化的。基于对有关这些恋爱关系的中英文网络内容的分析,本文表明,在不仅被种族化、而且具有国际性和多语言性的恋爱关系中,当种族意义被协商时,不同的种族框架会相互作用。最后,本文展示了种族叙事有时是如何通过白人女性旨在否定对其丈夫的负面刻板印象的叙述而得以再现的。
