I used to think I was specifically "into asians", but then I realized I'm not that attracted to asian american girls, and later I realized I *am* attracted to weeby white girls who wear japanese style makeup. And it became apparent that what I'm *actually* into is east asian beauty standards, irrespective of race. Not sure why I'm sending this to you other than that I figure you'll have some analysis.
I remember starting in the 90s it was a big thing like “ooh, asian girls” but it was largely that a generation had grown up with the daughters of the ‘70s immigrant wave, at least in California, and that was a novelty to process through the culture
And then I was into asian porn, but that was kinda that Japanese porn would still be like “here’s the prettiest girl you’ve seen on the street today, styled and shot to suggest achievable sexual fantasies” while American thumbnail gallery post-era stuff was like “here’s a 34-year-old stripper 30 minutes outside of Akron wearing a tartan skirt and spreading her labia”
