Current Events > At what point does a racial preference become a fetish?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like, if I say that I have a preference for Asian women and see myself married to one some day, but I'm also open to anyone regardless of race including the possibility of it going all the way. But guys who profess an attraction towards Asian women especially tend to get suspicious reactions.

It's just like any other sexual preference. If you're turned on by guys, you're gay and that's totally fine. If you like Asian women, yeah that might be a "fetish" but you really can't control your sexual preferences.

My girlfriend is African American and I have to say I find her complexion super sexy.

What is it with you and fetishes?

Just want to add that there's a clear difference between "I think X race looks sexy" and making a bunch of stereotypes about them. When you cross that line, it's borderline racist.

When you have expectations about a persons personality and experiences based solely on their ethnicity, and when these expectations make a person more sexually appealing to you.

Makes sense. My attraction is based more on the physical attributes (dark hair, petite build, etc., stuff that you can find within any group, but tend to be more common among Asian women), not on any expectation of them behaving a certain way.

When you only date that race exclusively.
