You surely must see what I'm talking about, I don't doubt that your hubby loves you for you... I'm just saying that there is a certain creepy factor of some guys who don't care about you as a person... they just like "Asian" women.....
We call them Asian fetish boys. Some white guys only like Asian girls because they stereotype them as small, exotic, and submissive.

There are some other men that only date Latinas or black women because they think they are spicy, exotic and freaky.

The list goes on and on, and it is all bad. It doesn't matter if the stereotypes are positive or negative, it is still typecasting.

These men only date Asian women because those are the only kind of women they find attractive. There's nothing creepy about it.

It's no worse than being strictly attracted to people of your own race.

It's not a matter of better or worse, in my opinion. If I were only attracted to a certain race, I would miss out on the lovely ladies of other races who might be my best partner. Simple as that. Others can have their preferences as they will. I call it missing out, if it's a preference like that.

I disagree. How can they be missing out on women they do not find physically attractive?

Perhaps you should consider becoming a bisexual. I mean, who knows, you might be missing out on many lovely men.

If she's half-as@ smart, she won't tell you , unless there's a proven track record of it.

Point taken, however, racial prejudice is learned whereas sexual orientation isn't.

it can go one of 2 ways.. it could be she just likes black men physically or it could be she's fetish-ing you. listen to the things she says about the pass guys,other races of guys and you..and that should tell you.

Does anyone else feel this way?
You are a very smart young man. Wait for the right girl for you. If you were my Son, I would not want you settling for a fling w/ someone who obviously doesn't respect herself, so why on earth would she respect you. And, yes, you are probably right that she is just playing the black card. Keep yourself available for the one you will eventually love, who will love you for you....not your color.

A lot of the answers to the points we are trying to make can be found in the study of sociobiology.
