What dose it mean to fetishize a race? 😕

Question

I'm a bit confused..... So I have a preference for Asian guy, right? And while on social media I see people calling others out for fetishizing Asian guys. I was also accused (jokingly) by my friends. To which I disagreed on.

But now that I think about it. I really don't know what qualifies as fetishizing. Honestly, I don't see how someone can do that to a Whole Collective Race.

I know that having a preference and fetishizing are two different things but know I'm second guessing myself.

So please help me, what qualifies as fetishizing a race? How do I know I'm doing it?

Answer

Usually when somebody has a race fetish, they care more about a person's race than who they are as a person. They see that person as a sex object. When somebody is a fetish, they are being objectified and that is not right. If you can see an Asian man and not automatically go right to thinking about sex, then it's not a fetish. But people who turn a person into a fetish dont see a person, they just see something they want to have sex with.

Answer

Fetishizing is when you like a certain race or ethnic group because of a stereotype.

Ex: Only liking black men because you think their dicks are bigger, or only liking black or latina women because you think they're more sexual.

It's reinforcing negative/unwanted misconceptions or stereotypes. Generally people who have racial or ethnic fetishes can't separate the stereotype from the person.

Answer

Just love who you love. If it doesn't hurt anyone why does it matter.

Answer

Why does it matter? What happens in your bedroom, as long as it is between 2 consenting adults and no one gets hurt, it's none of any one else's business. Enjoy! 💁🏻
