Why is racial fetishism a bad thing?

As a white guy, I really don't mind being fetishized by women of color, especially by Asian girls and Latinas.

Also, it was never a problem for me to start a relationship with a non-white woman with a fetish for my race as long as she's serious about being with me.

I always preferred dating a non-white woman who fetishizes me over a white woman who's with me for reliability, so it's not an issue to me.

Superb Opinion

  • I've been with girls of different races, and that included girls who preferred white guys, and who weren't really into guys of their own race. Everyone can have their preferences regarding looks. Some like blonde hair, some like brown hair, some like red hair. Some like blue eyes, some like brown eyes, some like green eyes. Some like straight hair, some like curly hair. Some like a certain combination of things.

    So, I can understand that people have (sexual) preferences for other people with a certain skin colour. That isn't racism, it's simply that you're attracted to people with certain looks.

    I can be attracted to girls of any race, but I know other guys who prefer white women with blue eyes and blonde hair to have a relationship with. To each their own preferences.

  • Since being attracted to a specific race isn't a fetish by definition i assume a lot of this is to do with how people manifest it. Personally i don't mind it at all, have fun and enjoy your kinks even if your attracted to a steriotype or cultural norm. Your bedroom, your fun. But i assume its the 'I want you to do steriotypical race thing X because it turns me on' that some take offense to.

    • To be honest, I think people who try to force stereotypes onto others are extremely immature. But stereotypes and sexual attraction are totally different things.

  • There’s nothing wrong with being more romantically interested in a certain race, culture or type of man more than others. I’m Latina, and I’m not sorry I had a thing for white men when I was single. I ended up marrying one. You only get one life, live it the way you feel makes you happy. If being wanted by a certain ethnic group turns you on, more power to you.

    • Very interesting comment and I fully agree with you! Sexual attraction is like my #1 priority in a relationship and I've been really happy in that sense.

  • Because it's really weird, like most fetishes in general. And this one is also skirting around just flat out racism and racial inferiority/superiority.

  • There’s a difference between racial fetish and racial preference.

  • Because of racial IQ differences and boring alleles?

  • It comes off as desperate and creepy.

  • Some girls love white men, for example, Filipinas. I don't mind, and the sex is great.

    • Oh, I believe you. I have some friends dating pinays and they are happy as fuck! 😆

  • I'm a Latino/Mexican-American dude and I've ran into a bunch of White and Asian girls who fetishize Hispanic men. I didn't mind at all because I'm not embarrassed to admit that I fetishize those two ethnic groups of women a lot as well.

    • I tell people that Asian girls are all the rage... 😆

  • I asked a similar question before and someone said it's because we expect them to live up to their racial stereotypes.
    Some people are fucking stupid. They should be flattered we find their type attractive. I'm like you. I think there's nothing hotter than a brown girl with a fetish for white boys, especially if she wants a serious relationship too. And those girls are usually happy if a white boy fetishisizes THEIR race.

    It's funny though because a lot of these women find race fetish from men gross, but then talk about how much they love white boys, and are flattered when they're hot on. I think a lot stems from jealousy too.
    But in general I've found women to be far more critical of race fetish then men.

    • I know a lot of women of color with a white fetish, the American ones are more shy about it because they otherwise they get ashamed by others, especially by jelly liberal white women. And I'm the last person in the world that would get offended by women of color fetishizing white men. 😆
