I don't think all men who like Asian women are perverts. I know lots of beautiful, smart, funny Asian women. If I were a guy or gay, I'd be attracted to some myself.

But I'm a (hopefully) attractive, smart, funny white girl. I've lived in Japan for around three years, and studied Japanese for more. I'm sick to death of white guys constantly having to compare the two! If you have to defend you choice of girlfriend, if you find every chance available to go on about how much you like Asian chicks, and how much better they are than white chicks - well, I'll get defensive too. I honestly don't care about men's preferences. Everybody has their own attractions. But what I find annoying in the I'm-white-guy-who-likes-Asian-­chicks crowd is the constant talking about it. I've read these messages and comments about how nobody would blink an eye at a guy who says "I love blonde women." They wouldn't, because the guy wouldn't then go off for 20 minutes about how much blonde women are better than every other type of woman out there.

That's all I'm saying.
