An incorrect reading of this statement would be “[Those who find girls in Asian countries] are scumbags [who seek comfort by using their purchasing power/colonial male privilege].”

A correct reading is: “[Only] those [who seek comfort by using their purchasing power/colonial male privilege] to [find girls in Asian countries] are scumbags.”

And perhaps a more nuanced statement that I should have said was, “[Only] those [who seek comfort by using their purchasing power/colonial male privilege] to [BUY people] in [ANY COUNTRY] are scumbags.”

So, yes, unintentional readings duly noted. I shall make an amendment to the post.

“The men who prey upon Asian women’s shyness, fewer and farther between, will find that most Asian women brought up in Western societies (even the demure, shy ones), are smart enough to recognize a creeper when they see one. And to those who seek comfort by using their purchasing power/colonial male privilege to find girls in Asian countries– those guys are the real scumbags. ”

Although clearly not your intention, i think you inadvertently suggest the following,

1. Most Asian women who are not from Western societies lack the smarts to recognize creeps.

2. While we should stop being suspicious (have a knee-jerk reaction) of men who have a thing for Western Asian girls, we may resume being suspicious of those who have a thing for girls in (or in my case just happen to be with a girl from) Asian countries–after all they might have used “their purchasing power/colonial male privilege.”

Again, I recognize that you did not intend to make those claims. Nor do I think that they are unambiguously suggested. Nonetheless, by not elaborating on these possible readings I think a reader could reasonably come away with those impressions.
