Why doesn’t one see interracial dating between Asian men and African-American women? Are Asian men attracted to African-American women? I know some African-American women are attracted to them.

I believe the lack of Asian/African-American relationships stems from the eastern idea of African-Americans. I have studied Japanese language for about 2 years under a professor who lived in the counrty for about 20 years. One bit of cultural trivia he gave us was that the Japanese tend to be somewhat mistrustful of Black people (and to an extent, Americans in general) My guess is this stems from the all to common portrayal of African-Americans in media and entertainment as gangsters, drug dealers or otherwise violent and/or undereducated people. I’m sure communication on both a cultural and personal level would probably change this trend…I think…

I have no doubt that many Asian American (‘AsAm’) men find African American (‘AfAm’)women attractive – I do. I think that the reason we see few pairings of the kind you mention is that very often their social circles do not intersect. Perhaps there is a belief that they share little in common apart from possible physical attraction. I also think that AsAm men and AfAm women do not often entertain dating because they are not confronted with examples or models to follow. Once a critical mass of these pairings happens, which will require time, I think you’ll see an exponential growth in their occurrence. Just like AfAm men and white women now. My question back to you is this: I see many AfAm men dating outside their race. Has this caused you or AfAm women in general to consider following suit?

Name : J.J., Gender : M, Sexual Orientation : Straight, Race : Asian, Age : 30, City : Foster City, State : CA, Country : United States, Occupation : Professional, Education level : Over 4 Years of College, Social class : Upper middle class,Asian American males find women of all races attractive. The problem is that the media has been so successful in it’s resolve to never, ever depict Asian American males in any positive manner that many of us probably assume no one finds us attractive. We have become the only group that can constantly be so denigrated. I think that many AA males probably assume that because of all the publicity about the friction between some blacks and Asians in LA and NY, that many African American women feel animosity towards us. If black women made us aware that they find us attractive, more dating would occur. We have alot to offer each other.

Unfortunately, what you say has not been my experience with African-American women. From elementary school to college, black women I’ve encountered have stereotyped me as brainy and expressed no interest. All the black women I’m acquainted with are either dating desirable white or black men, or are at clubs and disinterested in a relationship. As a result, I just let it go.

Asian guys are mamma’s boys if u ever went home w/a black girl ud give a heart attack to your mom. 3. Asian guys prefer dating asian girls, some wont even bother with white girls either 4. Asian guys are far too smart to date a black person, it just doesnt look right. 5. If ever you see an interacial couple b/w an Asian & white/black, its always an Asian girl with a white guy. Girls are more open to that kind of thing 6. Asians are racists, seriously, most anyway
