I addition to the OKCupid study, here is some other data: * 2007 Chicago Booth paper about online dating (https://faculty.chicagobooth.edu/emir.kamenica/documents/racialpreferences.pdf https://faculty.chicagobooth.edu/emir.kamenica/documents/rac...): One important (probably unsurprising) find was that "Females exhibit stronger racial preferences than males." Also from the paper: " Finally, we can reject the hypothesis of equal preference against partners of other races for white, black, and Hispanic subjects, owing largely to the greater preference against Asian males by all other races" * If you prefer anecdata, here are some Asian stories from the frontlines: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/asian-americans-dating-2018_us_5af08456e4b0ab5c3d6827b6 https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/asian-americans-dating-.... Asian women are desirable but they find that this cuts both ways, i.e. the desirability comes with unwanted fetishization on the dragon lady (O-Ren Ishii, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_Bill:_Volume_1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_Bill:_Volume_1) - geisha scale (Suzy Wong https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_of_Suzie_Wong_(film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_of_Suzie_Wong_(film)). * If you're interested in the above fetishization of Asian women, here's an interesting paper on how they have been portrayed in Hollywood by analyzing four movies that span 20th century: https://web.uri.edu/iaics/files/07Wang.pdf https://web.uri.edu/iaics/files/07Wang.pdf

And yet, marriage rates are by far the highest in Asian Americans compared to other ethnicities: https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=ACS_10_3YR_S1201&prodType=table https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/... The OkCupid data shows that everyone prefers people of their own race, and Asian women are no different. > If you prefer anecdata I mean, specifically not. I am open-minded to the idea that Asian-American men are being excluded in ways outside of affirmative-action, but not willing to accept "feel discriminated against" as having any weight in an era where there's a US President largely elected by white men who feel discriminated against. Every reply to my original question ignores every category except dating, and if you use marriage as a (I think pretty reasonable) proxy, it's hard to make a case that Asian men are suffering there.
