I completely agree. I believe there is an obvious tension inherent with any interracial pairing, but not because of racism or stereotypes, but merely a first impression?
Although one has the right to say they are dating someone of another culture/race/ethnicity/nationality to break the mold, I would definitely be upset if I was the guy who was helping the girl break the mold.
At least imho.
I think the focus is on some underlying issues that have yet to be fully explored--repressed issues, issues with portrayal and identity (with Asian-Americans in general), and the Westernization of Asians.
