which effectively eliminates any daiting advantage that may have arisen from a shared cultural background

lol what? you do realize that 90%+ of asian women prefer dating asian men right? they don't give a shit about desirability rankings created by other races. it's not just the shared cultural background, (although that alone would far outweigh any stupid and meaningless ranking) it's the biological fact that most humans are attracted to others of the same race. of course there are exceptions, but I live in california and have grown up in the area with the most asian americans in the country and I very very rarely see asians women date non-asian men.
