I don't notice much of the so called East Asian OWD in person. They are just accused of being that way because of their success and advancement. Some Asians are OWD, but they are definitely not the most OWD ethnicity, and most aren't.

It was a thing in 1990s, my friend who lived in China during that time told me exactly the same. However nowadays chinese are quite nationalistic.
The surely gravitating towards "filthy gaijin" attitude of japanese people
In the 90s China was dirt poor and just emerging from it's isolation. So foreigners were seen as novelties.
I wouldn't say Chinese people think of foreigners as "filthy gaijin (or laowai in mandarin)" but China is definitely an ethnocentric society. People in general don't go out of their way for foreigners, but if foreigners learn to speak Chinese or learn Chinese culture, they are usually treated in a pretty friendly and welcoming manner. At the core, Chinese people are way less insular than Japanese people and it is easier to develop close friendships with Chinese people than the Japanese, who tend to be more polite on the outside but closed off on the inside.
The Chinese are probably the last country you'll see having "OWD". They traditionally value pale skin, as do the Japanese, but it has nothing to do with us. And their standards of beauty (which you can easily see from their ads) are very different from ours.
OWD exist there because they have been colonized. However most MENA's don't suffer from OWD, especially not those from Arabia. We take pride in who we are. You will find OWDers in North Africa and the Levant because of pro-longed European colonization especially in North Africa by the French, well in the Levant by both the French and British, and lastly the Ashkenazi Jews who created Israel. Well us from Arabia had long defeated and humiliated the colonial European powers that came to us, such as the Portuguese, Dutch and even the British, and lastly the Anglo-Americans could never subdue the Western regions of Iraq. We also know that we crushed the European Byzantine empire, and also ruled Iberia and Sicily.
Trust me Arabians don't like the Banu Al-Asfar and even have racial slurs against them.
uhh sorry if I had to choose South Asians are the least likely to kiss up to Whites or try to be White. This isn't what I call being "OWD", I call it being South Asian, Indian, Indo-Aryan, and sticking to your heritage.

I don't trust anything a Muslim says, and you're no exception (anymore than I trust any other non-my ethnicity).
East Asians (and Latinos) are easily one of the most "OWD" races in the USA. Why do most of them here convert to Protestant Christianity, have White names, and join occupations which have traditionally been mostly White? Why do they intermarry with Whites at a high rate? MENAs are easily a close second after east Asians/Latinos.
