Do Asian girls really have a preference for white dudes or is this a myth? If it's true, why so?

I used to work at a Chinese company (Shoo-in group) in NYC. A co-worker of mine said Asian girls (completely Chinese staff besides myself and my manager) like white dudes over Asian men.

It may be a generalization but he is Chinese; I have heard this from other people but perhaps it's nonsense.
