Commonly, white men (or just non-Asian men in general) are shamed for being preferentially attracted to Asian women. They will be labeled with "Asian fetish" or "yellow fever" or similar things. But if an Asian woman wants to date a white man, no one bats an eye. "My body, my choice" Therefore, the EXACT same situation is seen as creepy or cute depending on which side you look from. Women are given the total social prerogative.
I think this double standard is ridiculous. If a white man wants an Asian woman, maybe it's because he values Asian traits like neoteny or intelligence over the brash and shallow behavior of your average sorority Stacy. There is nothing wrong with that. Now, that's not to say that some Asian women are not also shallow and materialistic—K-pop culture produces a lot of these. But the point remains that men must have the ability to be attracted to whatever race they want without being shamed for it. And if the shame cannot be dismantled, then at least the Asian women who lust after white men must be equally shamed.
