Hi,
I'm a black, American otaku.
I've been watching anime since middle school, and since I didn't really even start considering girls in "that way" until after that, it was only natural that I fell for asians, what with anime, manga, and the types of sites I hang out at.
Though the truth is, I didn't even notice it until recently. (I'm in college now.) The fact that, although I can interact with any race normally with any day to day event (classmates, co-workers, etc,) I can only fall for Asians.
I mean, 6 out of 10 women around my age in Asian pictures(porn or otherwise) that I see online, I think I would consider going out with if I met them in real life (if they wern't a porn star, if applicable!).
Wherein with Caucasians, it's less than 1/50. (and black even less than that. I don't know, they usually seem sort of nasty, and I don't like loud women...)
With Hispanics and other non-black/Caucasian women it's usually higher than with Caucasians, but still less than with Asians. (Personally, it's probably becuase I consider Asians so freaking cute a lot of the time, and I *prefer* cute women. The "hot" ones usually look slutty to me. But again, probably the influence of anime and American anime culture.)
Anyway, I see this as a problem since, most likely, I probably won't move to Asia (yep, I'm realistic,) and I don't want to have a fetish for/be racist against certain kind of women.
Do you think this is a fetish? Do you think I'm racist? Do you agree with me? Do you think this just a perfectly normal preference? Any suggestions?
