Yay my first blog entry (hopefully not my last)!
My roommate is Asian and while we were looking at pictures of this guy she hooked up with (who is white I think) we noticed that he happened to hang out with a lot of Asian girls. My other friend then said, "Ewww don't date him, he just wants you because he has an Asian fetish." This got me thinking: why is it only considered a fetish when the trait you like about the person is not acceptable to society? If you happen to like fat people, for example, you are considered a "chubby chaser." But if you like skinny girls with big breasts and blonde hair, that's just considered "normal." If someone's physical trait deviates from society, it is deemed unacceptable to be attracted to such a trait. So if you do happen to be attracted to, say Asian women, it just gets written off as a fetish because there could not be any possible logical explanation for why you would be attracted to Asian women. Maybe I am misunderstanding the meaning of the word, but I think we really need to start broadening our standards for what can be considered attrative in our society WITHOUT using words like "fetish."

I totally agree, there are way too many "labels" and tags of fetishes and racist slurs. We as a people from the master race (the HUMAN race) need to become more open minded to the fact that there are other people on the same rock as we are floating in the same infinite array of vastness. It is sad that people get tagged as a "chubby chaser" because they are atrracted to someone that is what we call overweight. I f there isn't any so called "fetish" that a person is into then we say they are after money! I happen ti be attracted to asian women myself but that is because of the culture and morals that most asian women posess. Not because I have a fetish. I also think it to be very shallow when people are labeled as such because of another person that is jealous or hatefull. And yes if anyone is wondering I am a "round-eye" (for those that wanna make fun of me now.) If anyone is wondering why I have left this post as Anonymous, it is because I don't wanna join another site to scribble a few words and not return.
