I think another aspect of the whole interacial dating thing is that as Asian-Americans we don't see many Asian ideals of beauty in American media. We usually see the white ideal of beauty and that becomes ingrained in us...that we should strive to look like that and that we should look for partners like that. I'm definitely very white-washed, even in my taste in men. I can identify good-looking Asian guys, but they don't do anything for me. I'm into white guys. And I wonder how much of that is culturally influenced. If I had grown up in Asia, would I still feel the same way? Or would I like Asian guys but not white guys?
