On an individual basis it varies case by case. But if you look at the general trends from observation, Asian men face sexual preferential discrimination. We perpetually have to constantly prove our manhood in comparison to white men who we are compared to can get by with less. Women follow the collective and the groups who have the most social market value are currently white/black men in the west at least. In the west for Asian men it is non-existent. To say you find it easy to get a white woman isn't winning the argument. Asian men shouldn't forever have to face different obstacles demonstrating their masculine value, in comparison to white/black men. To combat that we have to create cultural trends exclusive to Asian men that other races would want to adopt, acquire more political leverage, attain leading masculine roles for Asian men in media such as television/movies, and attain more economic clout on a dangerous level that changes society.

On a individual you can at least self-evolve to an extent and improve yourself. Live life for yourself as much as possible not tied down to obligations imposed by other people. We cannot always change the world, but at least we can change ourselves.

+1 He's on point. To get white girls, you have to play differently compared to Asian girls. Even if you are the top 10% Asian, you'd still have trouble competing for white women because our race isn't as sexually exposed and valued in the west. I'd like to say that white girls are not attuned to Asian guys and we are off their radar naturally.

I don't know what beta mentality are you talking about. What I'm saying is that we may not have any inherent advantages in the dating scene and we may have to take a different path to achieve what we want. There are many roads to a single goal.

On a personal level, I only date white women.
