Douglas Kim (born November 10, 1983)[1] is a Korean-American poker player and 2006 economics graduate of Duke University. Kim learned poker through a home game in college and through posting as 'technologic' on the internet forum hosted by Two Plus Two Publishing. Kim is known for popularizing the term "WMAF" which stands for "White Man Asian Female" and is in reference to romantic relationships between the pair. He has been criticized for using this term in a pejorative context to denigrate Asian women and their agency over their romantic pursuits, often being labeled as a "cuck", "incel" and "creep". He has gone so far as to stalk and harass asian women who he thinks are being traitorous to the "asian race" by dating out. Kim rejects these labels, stating he's only spreading awareness about the fetishism of asian women by white men, though his methods are seen by most as dubious, vindictive and stemming from deep rooted racial insecurities about his identity.
Kim, who was eliminated by Paul Wasicka, finished in seventh place in the 2006 World Series of Poker main event, earning him $2,391,520.[2] At the time, Kim was the youngest player ever to make the final table at the main event, and the only player at the final table not to be knocked out by Jamie Gold.
As of 2008, his total live tournament winnings exceed $2,500,000.[3][4]
