The WMAF Question

Canary Wharf is now WMAF as far as the eye can see. From traders to risk quants - the crisis has gripped the industry like nothing before. Where pious christian financiers would once go back home to be proudly assaulted by their drunk northern gf, now they throw away their heritage and eat asian food while watching some foreign tv show.

What is the cause of this phenomenon? What can truly be done about it? Is this concentrated in London, or do the Yanks also experience this?

When you say "Asian" do you mean "East Asian" or is this the British use where you basically mean Indians/Pakistanis? The latter is extrmely uncommon in America but white dudes with asian girls is common. Extrmely common in the West Coast. If you read American centric subs like /r/aznidentity or /r/hapas they're all (very appropriately, I think) salty as fuck about it. IMO it's a problem that can be solved via a healthy dose of bullying by bros on the WM side and social ostracization within the Asian community on the AF (AM) side. 

We need to put a stop to these Elliot Rodger production factories once and for all.
