It might be different on the West Coast, but white guys have a definite advantage on the East Coast. If you see a cute Asian girl, there's about a 98 percent chance she'll be on the arm of a white guy.
I know a few Asian girls who have said that their parents preferred that they marry a white man. One even had surgery on her eyelids so she could look less Asian and thus attract a white guy.
While people are free to do what they like, I much prefer to see and Asian woman with her natural Asian eyes.
I might also add that the media's continued overall reluctance to portray black male sexuality in a mainstream and non-subversive light is also evidence of the not-so-favorable consequences of the "favorable" stereotypes foisted upon black men in media. Movies and television will find no shortage of white leads routinely having their way with women of all ethnicities, including black women.
I am particularly reminded of the film The Last King of Scotland for instance, wherein James McAvoy's character (the 'good guy' of course) engages in a very explicit sexual encounter with the wife of the Ugandan dictator, played by a stunning Kerry Washington. The very same scene with the races reversed, outside of downright pornography, would simply be unheard of. Monster's Ball is another good example. A scruffy Billy Bob can have hot, no-holds barred steamy summer dog sex with Halle Berry but pairing a white woman up with even someone as dashing as Will Smith or Denzel is somehow "problematic."
While I agree with what you are saying about the reluctance to portray Black men in interacial relationships in the media, I think that the media's treatment of Asian men is actually worse. I have noticed that in majority of mainstream American portrayals of Asians the Asian women are typically coupled with White men making Asian men practically invisible.
Umm, overall, I would say YES. But it also depends on the women. I don't believe in dating white guys just to date them. To me, white guys are held to the same standards as black guys that I would consider dating. Example: I like attractive black guys, so there's no way that I would date an unattractive white guy just because of his race, but I know plenty of black girls who would do so because of some of the the sterotypes listed above.
I agree I would never date unattractive white guy because of race either. But I will admit that I am more attracted to white guys because of more what I have in common and certain stereotypes like being nicer, less aggressive and more family oriented. I guess that is wrong, but if I see an attractive black man I perceive him as a player which is wrong but that is what I do and for the normal to nerdy black guy I am just not attractive to him. The only black man I have ever seen as marriage material is the guy who plays Will Brown on Meet the Browns. He has a very attractive look but has the look of a family man.
I also understand the inferior complex. If I a black man or even a Hispanic completments me I think this is not a big deal. But I if I get hit on buy an a moderately attractive white guy I get excited and think I must really be attractive. I have subconsciously even have changed my look to look more innocent to white guys. For example, I do not wear hoops and have not worn them since the sixth grade. I know this might seem crazy but there are other women out there like this. They just won't admit. So I feel that an educated attractive white man has the advantage but not average joe or trailer trash type.

This is also driven by that "White guys are not allowed to be attracted and approach Black Woman" rule. If a guy is willing to break through all of the social conditioning to approach you, you must be something special to him and he must be 1 in 100 find. A girlfriend of mine says that when she is sitting in a bar she has very low expectations of a White guy approaching her. She internalizes it as most woman do, but I think it's also the whole Taboo thing on the White guys part too; "Your not supposed to be attracted to Black women".
I don't pay attention to the rule, If I find a woman attractive I'll approach her.

This is the most absurd thing I've ever read on CD. The only black man you would marry is a character on a TV show?!? SMH. How exactly does a family man look like btw? stephei2000 replies "Tall white guy ofcourse! Duh!"
