It has very little to do with ethnicity and very much to do with the fact that American culture has systematically painted Asian males as completely undesireable in every possible way. Any "my mother would disapprove" speeches are false. How else do you say, "well, most women in this country simply do not find me attractive, without even giving themselves a chance to get to know me"?
Asian american males are systematically victimized. For whatever reason - racism, greed, entertainment, whatever. It's irrelevant. Asian males in america are held hostage by forces beyond their control. There are exceptions to the rule, of course, but nearly everyone on this thread has observed the same general consistencies regarding asian males involved in relationships. It's not a coincidence.
American women (of all ethnicities) are media slaves. They choose their shoes, clothes, shampoo, even cars based on what magazines and media tell them; do you think they are any different with men? American women are just as victimized for this as anyone else in this country; it's a sad, sad phenomenon.
When was the last time you saw an attractive Asian man modeling anything in a magazine? Or a neutral subject in a TV commercial? Or _anything_ other than the comic relief?
I may sound sexist, but that's just what I have observed in my life: men seem to be more open-minded about this sort of thing.
