We all know men who think they deserve to own women: This is a horrifying exaggeration of that.

186. I'm not saying it's racist to prefer a certain type.

I'm saying it's racist to exclude any other person from consideration if they don't belong to the ethnic group you have a fetish for.

And the point is that many of these men when they say "I only want to date Asian women" don't mean actual Asian women from Asia but actually mean stereotypical looking Asian woman who act in a traditional manner. They wouldn't actually consider a fat Thai woman or really bossy Japanese woman or a Mongolian woman who worked on farm all her life, had massive callused hands and dressed in animal skins. And they would consider a skinny, submissive American woman with Chinese ancestry.

And what is "Asian" anyway? It technically covers people from India and the Caucauses. There are white-skinned Asian people.

Where the racism comes in is with the very narrow and stereotyped definition of what an Asian woman is and then that intersects with very backwards assumptions about gender roles.
