There are real social pressures for the daughters of immigrant populations within the US to marry white men as a vehicle for social mobility
Yeah which is why you’ll see “marrying out” even in high income brackets. The extra social status of having a “white man by your side” adds extra status.
White men aside, do you know how traumatic it is for Asian women to be told they’re only in their relationship because they fetishize their partner’s race?
Well to be fair, I assume it’s just as traumatic to be an asian guy who gets rejected all the time because whenever he asks a girl on a date she says “I’m not just attracted to asian guys.” If a guy grows up his whole life having that notion reinforced, especially by a huge chunk of asian women themselves, I can imagine that to be even more traumatic. I think that was OP’s point if I’m being charitable.
I mean I have seen a lot of Asian girls only date white guys throughout my life. Certainly not all of them, but a decent percentage. I’d probably chalk it up to societal factors including past colonization, media portrayals of Asian dudes in western culture, etc.
