Asians and East Indians (also asians) are the least attractive race, bad news for asians

[Mortimer]

For male partners (column (1)), our main finding is that Asians generally receive lower ratings than men of other races.20 In fact, when we run the regressions separately for each race, we find that even Asian women find white, black, and Hispanic men to be more attractive than Asian men.

acceptance by the dominant group reveals the current standing of racial groups in the U.S. hierarchy, as well as the possibility for assimilation. However, few researchers have addressed the gendered nature of racial preferences by whites. We examine whites’ exclusion of blacks, Latinos, Asians, Middle Easterners, East Indians and Native Americans as possible dates, using a sample of profiles collected from an internet dating website. We find that white men are more willing than white women to date non-whites in general, yet, with the exception of their top two preferences for dates, whites and Latinos, the racial hierarchies of males and females differ. Among daters with stated racial preferences, white men are more likely to exclude blacks as possible dates, while white women are more likely to exclude Asians. We argue that exclusion relates to racialized images of masculinity and femininity, and shapes dating and marriage outcomes, and thus minority groups’ possibilities for full social incorporation.



The real bad news in my opinion is not that white females dont date asian men but that asian females date white, black, latino males before asian males.

Interesting that white men would exclude black women first, but white women would exclude several groups before black.

Also interesting the discrepancy between Latino and Native. Many Mexicans in the US look Native, so it is a matter of culture and perception I guess.

You are neither.

im of asian origin, and have the look but im worse because im more stigmatised, a indian stereotyped as some computer expert nerd and geek but a gypsy as thieve and low life. people have more respect for indians then for gypsies but both look very similar, would be perceived as equally attractive

Many South Asian girls are really very attractive but there is still a bit of a social stigma some don't want to cross when bringing the mate home to meet the family.
