I don't think that people that say "I am attracted to Asian women" or "I am attracted to Japanese women" are usually exclusively interested in the Asian or Japanese race itself as if it were true that would mean they found all women of a certain race attractive, and I have never seen that to be that case.

I think the reality is that people that say these things find certain aspects of a race or culture attractive, and that is what they are talking about. In some cases it is the image of submission, like we talked about earlier. In some cases it is the smaller size that Japanese and Asian women tend to be, some like the smooth skin Asian women often had, for some it's the long straight hair, the respect and subtleties of the culture...any number or combination of things. Sometimes people can't put a finger on it.

I know many guys that had or have "bamboo fever" but each of them in their own way. One guy said he loved Japanese women, but only dated Japanese women who were tall. Another said the same, but only dated girls with long straight black hair. Another liked trying to tame party girl hostesses. Shallow? Maybe, but they were all in their young 20s, living in Japan, and weren't necessarily looking to settle down quite yet. So maybe a little shallow, but I can't call it racism.
