I know this is a potentally fraught topic, especially since it deals with ethnicity/race, but there's a feeling I've noticed in society that bothers me:

I'm mixed Black/White and I am attracted to all kinds of women. I do have a deep appreciation for East Asian women and I've seen things online that make it seem like any non-Asian man who likes Asian women is simply chasing after a "fetish" or a "fantasy". Why can't someone simply appreciate East Asian beauty and simply want an intelligent, independent, kind woman just like if they were looking for any woman? Where did this stereotype of Non-Asian men simply being into chasing a "fetish" come from?

I'm sorry if this stirs any feelings, but I am curious of the background behind this...

Lol... What I find disturbing...is you apologizing for your choice of whom you are attracted to.
Who cares what other people think?

Some women are going to think that you fetishize them, and some are not going to think that. If you really want an asian woman, you just have to keep shooting your shot with them until you find one who doesn't think that.

I'm white and love Asian women. The reason being, petite brunettes are my type. Most Asian women tend to fit this mold.

I would guess it depends on your location and how many beautiful asian women live in the area. As a non-asian who has been married to a asian for over 20 years. It has changed dramatically over the last 25 years here.

If these men didn't want to date Asian women, they would be called racist. So they can't win either way.

I am half Asian. I remember several (white) guys telling me that they prefer Asian women because... Well, because they're viewed as being passive and subservient. I'm all and ask if they ever actually been with an Asian woman lol.

I don’t know why they would. White male Asian female is by far the most common interracial match in the US.

Yeah it’s really a submissive thing. My wife is a sub, but she is kinda bi and likes Asian women for the sub quality they portray, too. Is what it is. Like what you like; reality might not always match up, but it can still be fun.

There is definitely nothing wrong with being attracted to someone from a different background.

However, if someone is turned off by, or not attracted to people of their own similar background, that would be kind of unusual.
