Lol, I remember when i was like 7 I already had an attraction towards "Japanese" girl's, I hadn't even seen an asian in real life hahaha. Very strange now that i think about it.

Maybe everyone is looking at this from the wrong angle...Maybe it isn't just the "race" that attracts them, but certain cultural attributes associated with that race that works into it.. in other words, each race supposedly has certain aspects stereotypically asigned to them. Suppose it's these cultural aspects that attract us?
You could go even further, suppose these attractions are primal?..If hybrids are the strongest aspect of something, then purebreds would be highly attracted to purebreds of other groups..in an atempt to produce offspring that ipitomizes the best traits of each respective group. It might just be as simple as biology 101, it's our on misconcieved notions that perhaps get in natures way. |

But I mean attraction to anyone due to their ethnicity just sounds you know.. pretty weird and uncomfortable, and seems more like objectifying. |

Okay, so I REALLY want to marry a Japanese guy. I think Japanese men are the sexiest men in the world. They're all really quiet and listen, and I like that they all have this feminine thing about them. The next time I go to Japan, I'm going to try to find a Japanese guy so that I can marry him.
... Does anyone really not see a problem with someone saying that? Also, I think it's pretty unfair to say that any one race is more attractive than another. People are people, and can be of all different colors. A person can have dark skin, and identify as white - just as a person can have dark skin, and identify as black. West Indians also have a history of Asian lineage, so a person in the West Indies can look Japanese when really they're Trinidadian. I think it's fine to be interested in someone because of their culture. Culture helps to shape a person's values and beliefs, a person's personality and background - whereas race... is just as shallow as the person's skin. |

It is unfair to think one race is more attractive than another-- but it happens. Whether it be a psychological issue or not. |
