Do (light skinned) Caucasians have an Asian fetish?

I realize this is the proverbial dead horse, but as a man of less melanin this is something society, media, and others bombarded me with for some time now. I will not have the ignorance to say that no one has an Asian or "white" fetish, as I've seen it expressed both ways, but I personally don't. The media has played both angles by promoting and dis-promoting couples between Asian and Caucasian people. The reasons given range from exotification (both ways), Asian people's intelligence, and lifestyles, but for me none of these would be sufficient to be in a relationship. For a relationship it matters more that I and a woman share beliefs, trust, and faith.

I am a strong proponent of pheromonal attraction, as an image only offers unhealthy fantasy, plenty of people find someone from similar ancestry but divergent genes offer more possibilities genetically (melting pot). I've been attracted to African, Asian, European, Middle Eastern, and North and South American women, though I've mostly been around women of European decent, moving to larger city I've been exposed to more women. I don't like to believe I have preferences, but I know enough about psychology to know otherwise. The first woman I was attracted to was a Native American woman, followed by a tall red haired "white" woman, followed by a brunette "white" woman, followed by another brunette "white" woman, followed by a Blonde "white" woman, followed by a Middle Eastern woman, another Middle Eastern woman, a "black" woman, another blonde "white" woman, and more recently an Asian woman. These were woman I was strongly attracted to, but if I included woman attracted to me these numbers would triple.

Dark borders force your eyes to look at the picture, possibly dark hair would do this for a face.

The preferences I have for woman don't include skin color, but probably cause me no notice Asian and Middle Eastern women more. The only deciding factor is beliefs, but I am still trying to rationalize my other choices. I seem to notice brunette women more (this could be the black borders phenomena or little more Freudian), I prefer women with little to no makeup (minimal eye color and lipstick), natural hair (short or long), natural hair color, natural eye color, natural smell (minimal perfume), and natural eyebrows (fake ones freak me out). I notice Asian women and Middle Eastern women tend to have more of these qualities. I know most women in the world use makeup, but some it is less excessive or noticeable. This are only add to a women's beauty, true attraction stems from the pheromones (at least from the physical).

Though the image would seem to suggest only Japheth and Shem went into asia, all three were present in the middle east, and more of Ham's decendents went East.

I know this may have seem like just a rant, but it was an attempt at back story. The point all this bridges to is in rejection of the statement "white" people have Asian fever. I know most of this would appear racially charged (starting with the prompt), but the question itself and the terms used are the unfortunate default in a racist society. I personally don't believe in races (we all go back to Noah anyways), but I am well aware of culture. It is true cultures tend to form around arbitrary differences such as distance, time, environment, languages, hair color, skin color, etc. Truly though anyone can subscribe to any culture or even grow up in any culture. Racism requires you to believe there are value based differences between different peoples and people should be treated (good or bad) on these differences. I realize most people subscribe to the "Race" theory and anyone who does has the impetus to be racist. I know people get mistreated or mocked for being in relationships with people with different genetic backgrounds. This is stupid an clearly hypocrisy as seen with "white" people have an Asian fetish, it requires you to paint a broad stroke on two groups of people based on their gene expressions and disregards any other reason for them to be together (the definition of racism).

So being what society calls a "white" man, my response is I like women who are Asian (amongst other groups), but I don't like women for being Asian. As a man I want a woman simple as that.
