Perhaps it is because I'm actually living in a decent neighborhood, but I've never once been called Asian or mentioned about being Asian from any of the girls I've approached and even then if they did it's only because I brought it up first. People here in Adelaide are so scared of being racist that they will never say it and if you say you are offended, even if you are joking and say it in a playful mood, they will apologize and say they didn't mean it. They take it very seriously here.
Not that, of course, they don't feel left out when we hang out with our Asian buddies. They still do and they probably feel that way inside, but they never say it outside. I've never been told you are the first "Asian" to have ever been this bold or anything or made any Asian references or stereotypes. They just treat me like a regular guy unless I mention I'm Asian.
Technically, a lot of stereotypes, while they do exist, are overexaggerated. Not saying that they're not there, but all races have their own problems and every race will envy the strengths of another race and trust me, Asians have a lot of stuff other races envy. The biggest problem I'm finding when dating a white girl, which I have, is getting her into your own social circle. But it's a trouble that I don't have that led to another problem. The reason I didn't have trouble is because I'm the lone-wolf kind of guy and I don't really hang out with other Asians and I usually only hang out with myself. If I have to get into any social circle, I get into hers and she's usually the one asking me to introduce to her friends and I'm avoiding to do so because, well... I have little to introduce to her, except my classmates. And while they're usually kind enough to say hello and say nice things about me, they don't know me well enough to do so.
If there are any stereotypes, however, it would be if you hang out with the Asian crowd a bit too much. If you're white-washed or completely Americanized that you're practically a white guy in Asian skin and only hang out with white guys (which... trust me, there are a lot of - JT calls them PUAs who just happen to be Asian as opposed to Asian PUA's), then you usually don't have this problem. It's only if you're FOB'ish or hang out with only other Asians that you usually have this kind of mindset.
Like dating white girls and girls of other races, we should also make attempts to make friends of all ethnicity, which I'm trying to do now. I'm very grateful for the neighborhood I live in because it's actually a decent neighborhood and people are really nice to each other, and because I'm in a very cosmopolitan area so I guess I haven't been to the darker corners of earth where people are more KKK'ish. But regardless, every race has their own problems and their own strengths.
