Re: another of my (white) friends has started dating an asian

(Anonymous) 2012-10-21 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
When you say "starting" I assume he hasn't dated an Asian woman before? Stop worrying. One Asian girlfriend does not constitute a behavior pattern deriving from entrenched, negative stereotypes, for goodness sake.

Even if someone consistently displays a preference for particular racial backgrounds, that's not necessarily a problem, either. A lot of people have "types" and it makes sense that some types would be more prevalent among people of certain races/cultures than others and thus a person ends up being attracted to people of a particular race. I do understand the suspicion as to whether there is anything beyond physical attraction underlying this, though, e.g. "I just like women of [race] because they're beautiful and submissive but I'm just not into women of [other race] because they're bossy." Whether anything like that is happening has to be assessed on a case-by-case basis, though. You should wait and see how a couple interacts and why/how they get together and break up before jumping to conclusions.
