And if the guy is Asian or Black himself, that's called internalized racism.
Unfortunately, it seems to be ironically even more present in the gay community than anywhere else. White people don't have to deal with being outcast as a minority with a stereotype because they are always seen as the norm and are therefore normalized and in fact even more than normalized--bombarded into our senses through media and idealized representations of their bodies are everywhere, thereby shutting out any chance of minorities being seen as attractive or being seen as anything other than a stereotype. Yes, this is just one person and one example, but it is indicative of a much larger issue most people tend to conveniently ignore not because they are inherently evil, but because it is difficult and uncomfortable to discuss and people who aren't affected by it tend not to be interested in hearing about, hence some of the replies in this thread.

Reminds me of social experiments done by Jane Elliot. Anyone interested in this should look them up
Dating someone in my race isn't something I wanna do.
Mess at him being Asian and not liking his own race. People were talking about it in that thread with the German and Asian guy holding hands. A hot ass mess.
Why are we having this same conversation again? It's not even like we have fresh meat to discuss it with. Registration hasn't been opened in over a year. You'd just be discussing the exact same thing with the exact same people you discussed it with the last 7-8 times we had this conversation.
Wait. He is Asian? Mess.
