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?

you're probably right in that regard. our preferences are many times influenced by what is around us and what we grow up around.
