The Sinophile

This media that should reflect our norms
aims not to entertain but to reform
through movies, tv episodes and ads
where mixed-race families are its fondest fad.
Extinction’s beamed into white families’ dens
framed by a television’s bawdy Zen,
desensitizing whites to new milieus
that make for demographic Waterloo.
The Chinese media is much less fond
of mixed-race landscapes from which most abscond
with remnants of their customs, norms and speech,
and always pairs off couples each to each.
One hundred years we’ll still have separate lots:
the Chinese will exist and we will not.
