Yes a lot of them probably do find them attractive. But that's not the issue. I think due to cultural and family values in reality you don't tend to see many couples and mixed Asian relationship rate is very low compared to say Afro-Caribbeans. I lived in an area with one of the highest South Asian populations in the country and such couples were rare and to be honest a lot of the white guys did not entertain the idea of truly fitting in with those families when they could just date Becky or Emily stress-free. Even other Asians have a hard time with other Asian families, so white guys don't stand a chance of an easy life. Now that I'm in London I see lots of interracial couples but AW and WM still aren't too common. I do know a few Asian girls from so called liberal families who have entered relationships with white (and black men) but they guy's life was always made hell and he was treated like a taboo or second rate so the relationships did not end up being successful.
I'm more physically attracted to South East Asian girls.

White guys like everyone, except from full black girls.


Hmmm that would explain my white father marrying my black mother wouldn't it? Such a stupid, childish and IGNORANT statement.

Although I cannot confirm what he says to be true, I believe sweeping statements like what he said generally still allow for exceptions.

Right, every individual person has different tastes and preferences, you cannot generalise based on race!!!!! It's 2016!!!

I disagree I think white men do usually like Indian women. And I never saw an Indian woman who looked Latina they look completely different. Partly because Latinas are mostly of mixed heritage although some are just white, black or indigenous to the Americas. Not much to do with the Indian sub-continent.

I always laugh then I here people saying stuff like the previous poster. There is a higher proportion of black women married to white men than South Asian women, etc. I think it's partly a cultural thing and about openness. Black families of all the races don't tend to care as much who you date. My father's family (black) would be delighted with whoever I date they really couldn't give a hoot about the colour of skin that's probably the last thing they would care about they wouldn't blink an eyelid.

I don't think that's true. In the UK over 1/3of Afro-Caribbean men have a white partner and a 1/3 of Afro-Caribbean women have a white partner. It is no where near that high for South Asians or Indians etc. Or any other group for that matter.


They are not accepted.

There are not many. I didn't intend to offend.

This doesn't counter your argument in the quote above, I'm not disagreeing with your point at all, but I just wanted to say this to the bit in bold.
South Asians are mixed heritage too, some Indians and Latino people do look similar because of this reason. Yes, the Latina look is completely different to the Indian look but there are a few that look similar.

I'm Indian and my boyfriend's white. We met on TSR and we've been dating for well over a year now.

I still can't believe questions like this still come up, humans like other humans. Skin colour doesn't come into it but it can't mean that your SO can't appreciate your skin colour either. Mine only ever mentions it when he wants to build me up if I'm feeling down and says I'm beautiful in all ways etc and lists which ways.
My boyfriend's never been friends with anyone Asian before me as he is from a predominantly white place but it doesn't mean he's racist.

What I'm trying to say is you can't help who you like and I've recently seen about 20 White/Asian couples in my city so yes it does happen but it's less common (maybe because you tend to be attracted to people your own race? or some other scientific reason)
