Oxford study

English

Etymology

Originated from a 2010 Oxford University Press paper titled "The New Suzie Wong: Normative Assumptions of White Male and Asian Female Relationships". The trend was sparked by a viral TikTok post from user @lightskinbbyrei in April 2023, who joked that the frequency of these pairings "needs a full Oxford investigation."
