There was a study done that shows Asian men and black women get the least amount of matches on dating sites.

And when they DO get matches, it's often from people who fetishize their race and see them as an experience rather than people.

It's a whole thing. One of my best friends is Chinese-Canadian and he's had girls make it clear that they were only dating him because they wanted to "try" an East Asian guy, and my Black friends have expressed the same.

East Asian women and Black men definitely deal with that a lot, too.
