I dont know either. I certainly struggle with this a lot myseld as someone who is a minority that also gets objectified (latino). I am attracted to Asian men, yet I question if its a fetish, am i doing to others what I dont like people doing to me?Just curious.
As an asian, I feel like many gay guys finding us fetish. Except of course it's fellow asian haha. I don't know.
I think the answer is that it really depends on ppls intentions. When I like an Asian man, I like him because I like how he looks, I like him because I have had too many positive experiences with ppl of his same racial group, and I admire his culture. I dont objectify it, i don't feel superior and I am willing to explore the full range of sexual experiences, meaning that I dont have a specific fetish that I want to enact with an Asian person.
I think for me, like others in this thread, it does come down to having an overwhelmingly positive experience with asian man and an overwhelmingly negative experience outside of that group. What do you want me to do? Is not my fault.
