Your thoughts on racial fetishism?

I think it's disgusting. A racial fetish and a racial preference are two different things. Racial fetish is when you fetishisize an entire race, believing in such racial stereotypes that it makes you fetishisize that race group. While a racial preference is a whole different thing. It is when you could not help but prefer dating someome of this race group without hypersexualizing them like racial fetish. I believe no one deserves to be fetishisized (or another term, hypsersexualized) just because of their race. It's not like they asked to be born to that race anyway. I see that racial fetish happens a lot around the world, and just by thinking of whatever happens to those getting fetishized just scares me.

  • I think its fine. Your problem with it seems to be that its basically objectifying people, but that applies to every fetish and frankly, every attraction ever. Fetishes involve focusing on one specific aspect of a person for whatever reason and in this case, its race. Likewise, if you're attracted to someone, you're attracted to them bc of their looks or clothes or whatever, which, again, is focusing on one aspect of their appearance. Following your logic, we should apparently hate any and all attractions and fetishes, just because you're focusing on one aspect of a person, which is crazy. Thus, I think race fetishizing is fine, its just another form of attraction.

  • BBC, Asian fetish, and stereotypical submissive white women/Asian women isn't something that any man or women would appreciate. Stereotypes suck, and I'd hate to know that the person I'm dating or a friend is dating is only dating them because of their race. Positive generalization is racism too.

    • Yes I agree. I don't understand why people generalize an entire race and think it's okay. It's not.

    • Yep. Black men and Asian women face fetishism all the time. Do you happen to be Asian?

    • Yes I happen to be Southeast Asian. This racial fetishism thing happened to me when I visited the USA and it was scary.

  • You seem to view a racial fetish as something harmful/degrading or something? 'nobody deserves to be fetishized'?

    Umm.. how is anyone getting harmed by this fetish held by some people? Please let us know what happens to people who get fetishized that scares you because that's completely lost on me.

    • It's mostly the hypersexualization of people from a certain race. For example, Japanese girls are being fetishisized quite often because people view them as "submissive", "cute anime girl", etc. At some cases they even get sexualized for wearing their school uniforms.

    • ... it's not like Japanese women are being forced into this fetish, though. Most play into it 100% willingly. It's a completely cultural thing from within Japan that I suppose has somewhat hit the western market but the whole schoolgirl/lolita thing is a largely Asian thing. Within Asia. You're in no place to tell different cultures what they can or cannot define beauty/sexiness as.

  • How is being fetishized a bad thing? I would assume you'd want to feel wanted and desired by men. Men hyper-sexualize everything, by the way. That's what men do. I guess you should just lock yourself in your house for eternity and never let a man see what you look like.

  • I can't handle it at all. That's just dehumanizing, not sexy.

  • Well then you're in for a big disappointment then.

    Men are "object" based. If you think racial fetishism is bad, don't even consider dating or having sex, where your tits and ass will be "fetishized".

  • I once heard that Indonesian women have a racial fetish for white men. They have a fantasy of having sex with one before they get married.

    I learned there is some truth to that. I also learned that if they are not successful before getting married, they will make up for it after.

    • Yes, unfortunately it's quite common in here. Although, the ones that have this fetish on white men are the ones living in poverty and this fetishism is more common among women in the Java-Bali areas.

    • That is not what I found at all. I had an Indo girlfriend. She was a student at Trisakti, her father was a top executive at a Indo company that if you are Indonesian, you would know. Obviously she liked bule. She introduced me to her best friends and I asked them what they thought of that rumored fantasy. They unanimously said, yes, it was true. Every single one of these smart, "rich" university students wanted to have sex with a bule. I asked them what percent of Indo girls actually would if they had they chance and language were not a barrier (it is). They discussed it and decided it was 70%. I presumed the fantasy is restricted to upper class Jakarta girls. It doesn't make sense that poor women would want that, since poorer women tend to be more observant of Islam, at least outside of Jakarta. Of those girls, my ex married a bule, and at least two of her friends did too.

    • No, it's not exactly like that these days. When I said the girls from around the Java-Bali areas, for some reason, they see "bule" as being rich. Girls from that area usually tend to go for rich men as they don't want to live a hard life. At least, in my area, fetishism is looked down upon. Different religion marriage happens more often these days and yeah it just allows more of these women with white men fetish to "get" the white men.

  • Twin studies show us that homosexuality and wanting to race mix are both learned fetishes. The source isn't difficult to find either, just look at any commercial break on TV or random kids shows.

  • I don't care, just as long as it doesn't dehumanize whatever race in your eyes and you only see them good for sex.

  • hmm, I just would prefer to date someone who is Eastern Asian. Korean Japanese etc. as I find American women self-entitled cunts. who value money above all else and would not be trustworthy to handle a firecracker let alone children.

    as for fetishizing, i find having kids who are half Japanese appealing not sure if that counts.

    personally, i don't give a fuck about racial whatever, fetishize my pasty white ass all you want. i say go for it
