Attitude toward caucasian men with non-caucasian women
I've dated women of various races and nationalities, and I've definitely experienced this reaction from both women and men, both of my race and my girlfriend's.
Your opinions on someone's partner's race, age, or gender are not welcome.
Please, just let people be people.

There seem to be some logical explanations for the Phillipina attraction that might not be present in the other locations.
I am just curious. It is something I have thought about.
I know some Asians prize lighter skin tones but that isn't necessarily caucasion features. I don't think those Asians want to be caucasion.
I believe Phillipinas speak English, have colonial heritage and some caucasion genes already floating around. I think there is some Spanish heritage. My apologies if I am off base.

Quite common here these days. Very high non-white population here from many countries. China, India, Philippines, and many more.
My brothers wife is of Chinese decent. My sisters husband is 1/2 Indigenous 1/2 Scottish. My friends wife is 1/2 Hong Kong Chinese. Another friends wife is from Laos.
Indian populations are mixing some, too, but some hardcore traditional families don’t like their daughters dating white guys and would prefer an Indo-Canadian or even Indian man/arranged marriage, but being the diverse melting pot we are younger generations are more “Westernized,” and marrying for love vs status/money/obligation to please parents etc.
I’m sure there’s still some good ol’ fashioned racism by all sorts of people - like my brothers father in law who doesn’t like any of his son-in-laws because none of the 3 of them are ethnically Chinese. Oh well, your daughters fell in love with different men. Suck it up, old man - it’s a changing world And your daughters have to be happy with their life choices, not you.
But overall it’s just generally accepted that all sorts of people mix here - no big time taboos that are just unheard of or anything.. just specific holdouts that would prefer their daughters marry similar types to their family because that’s the way they’ve always done things for generations. Until they moved to Canada and things changed, suckas.

You seem to have taken offense and climbed upon a high horse.
My curiousity lies in the fact that Asian women have not typically found me attractive because I am caucasion.
Yet, the OP made that assertation. My post is actually anti-racist.
I understand it is not a topic you partake in. But .... it is a topic proposed by the OP.
It is not your thread. You went on a tangent at my expense. You made assumptions when you do not know my background.
Your position upon the high horse is pathetic.

Insulting all Filipinas for the behavior of a few Asian women is unfair, to say the least. Calling someone 'pathetic' for calling you out on it is even less fair.
The Filipinas I have met appreciate courtesy, honesty, hospitality, manners, and respect. They also appreciate men of cheerful disposition, good humor, patience, and restraint. Theirs is a culture from which Americans could learn a lot.
Did you ever wonder why Asian women find you unattractive?

Personally I have never encountered any instance of racism from Asians nor Africans (or descendants).
In my case it always came from « whiter » people (whiter than myself)- every time.
Married to an African woman myself. Been to Africa before we had children. Kind of proud to have been to Europe once, South America once, and Africa once.
Of many friends where I live, I have seen Asians married to Whites, Asian Muslims married to Whites, East European Muslims married to Latin American catholics, French married to English (Whites), American married to Canadian (whites) and different nationality Asians marrying each other. I would say the marriage and relationships here are quite diversified. Personally, after relationships with Canadian girls (French and English), I do notice the differences in attitudes and beliefs systems between Canadian and Foreign.

Oh, really. I think you mentioned this before. But guess I forgot. I know you said you were married, and liked worked 40 years. Live in NY.
I felt attraction to a black woman. I don't know what it was. Maybe the differences, maybe it stirred feelings. Maybe its cause it's exotic, taboo, since most people date within their own race.*
I'm primarily attracted to my own racial group. (As are 96% of English white people, if that Census is any indication.) But i could never rule out being attracted to a non-caucasian person, i think cultural disparity would be the main thing impeding such a relationship.

Yes. The trips to other continents were great

I've spent most of my time in social circles with a distinct international flavor, so these things were never an issue or something expressed wherever I and my wife went. You're dating/married to an individual, not a race. If race is an issue to other people, it shows their lack of awareness and bigotry rather than anything you two did wrong.
Yes I was the same. From the time I started travelling and living in Asia my circle of friends changed to being international. Australians can be a little tunnel visioned because that's how they were conditioned

The OP lives in Lebanon and mentioned before the Lebanese community are judgemental toward PoC. I imagine they associate foreign nationals with domestic help so there are also status issues.
I'm curious what you think of this story?
https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/t ... 2d7ae6c391
It's been hitting the Australian news last couple of days.
My thoughts.
Oh, how i hate reality tv shows.
Honesty the best policy...NOT.
Okay honesty is generally the best policy, but Honesty can sometimes hurt.
He was just being honest.
Now he could have sugarcoated it.
It's kind of a tough call.
It's rude to say "I think you're ugly. I prefer blonde hair blue eyes."
Which is basically what he said to her.
I don't know how I would handle it that line of questioning.
More like:
"I never been with a Asian woman, this is all new to me, you're very sweet and nice. I'm just warming up to you."
Because thats more diplomatic.
And if she insist "Is it because I'm Asian?"
I would just say it's because "I just don't feel any chemistry between us."
Because again, It's more diplomatic.
No need to bring her genetics into it.
Also.
If she's so sensitive, hows he supposed to know?
Some people don't grow up in well-mannered environments.
Some people come from very course backgrounds , where people speak bluntly.
I myself can speak very bluntly at times.
Seems a culture clash.
Nor just a race thing.
And who you become attracted to, or not.
Shouldn't be held against you.
If he doesn't like her, so be it.
She shouldn't make it a thing where, She's seeking confirmation she's defective.
Reverse it.
Asian woman rejecting a white man, because she only likes Asian men.
IS he going to break down and cry?
No.
He's going to think,
"Okay, she' doesn't like me. It's plain as day. That's her choice. Her preference."
And he will move on.
Or try to change her mind.
Lol.
Either one of those.
That what I think.

The guy was too blunt. Sure, if he has that thinking it can't be helped unless he's open to change his mind about race and looks. But it seemed like the woman was being very self-conscious about her Asian features so it kind of amounts to calling a person with anorexia fat. Possibly these kind of TV-programs encourage confrontations of this kind though, because it attracts attention and viewers.

Yes, agree with all your points. He was being too blunt and she should expect not all men are going to fall in love with her.
We used to have a dating program on Australia called "Perfect match": which was one of the highest rating TV shows in Australia. The contestants were never PoC,
This is still a big issue with dating apps
