Lillian , a 20-something who lives in New York and Boston, is a single Asian American woman who actively dates. Needless to say, her Tinder inbox is a hot mess.

There are the inevitable What is your nationality? and What are you? messages. And there are a ton of racially charged thirsty DMs: Ill eat your pussy like shrimp fried rice, one says. I want to try my first Asian woman.

Sure, sexually explicit messages and unsolicited dick pics are par for the course for women on dating apps, but for women of color, including Asian women, its almost always significantly worse.

Most of my single white friends receive only a taste of what I get on Tinder, said Lillian, who asked that her last name be withheld for privacy reasons.

No man has ever opened with how white women are so exotic or opened with an assumption about how white vaginas are different from other vaginas, she told HuffPost. None of these messages have the same intense preoccupation with race.

Those creepy-crawly experiences on dating apps led Lillian to create The Fleshlight Chronicles , an Instagram account where she showcases the worst offenders on Tinder and other apps. She posts screenshots of their messages alongside photos of herself looking stoic, fierce and totally over it.

Lillian also invites her 21,000 followers to share the racist DMs theyve received. She posts those, too.
