[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmmm. As a thin-ish Korean woman who is fairly tall, I feel like I got a lot of unwanted attention when I was younger. Less so now, of course, but still...[/quote]

Plenty of American men, especially older ones, are fond on Asian women [/quote]

Older ones? Whatever do you mean? Men of all ages are into Asian women.[/quote]

+1 I think teens and 20-somethings are finding Asian women (and men) pretty darn attractive. Maybe a consequence of this whole K-Pop, K-Drama, and K-Beauty phenomenon?[/quote]

East Asian. Not southeast Asian.[/quote]

I don't think most non-Asians can tell the difference, quite frankly.[/quote]

Southeast Asian refers typically to Indians. East Asians refer to Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. Most people, non-Asians, can tell the difference between an Indian and an East Asian.[/quote]

Different poster here.  
You are incorrect.  If you don't even know the proper designations, you probably also can't tell the difference between the peoples.

Southeast Asian= Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, etc.
South Asian= India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, etc
East Asian= Japan, China, N and S Korea, Mongolia, etc

Funny how people like to stereotype Asians but then don't even understand the geography or know how vast and diverse we are.

Asia is the most culturally diverse continent in the world, yet to White and Black America we are one gigantic monolith.

East Asians look so different to South Asians. I can't understand how people could not tell the difference. The skin color alone is different.  Then there are the features.

But to OP's post - I think society and the media have definitely progressed, and it celebrates beauty of all different skin colors more now than ever.

I am 50, and grew up out west in a really diverse area so being nonwhite was not unique or differet where I grew up.  When I was younger, I did get hit on by men of different races.  [/quote]
