I just think they look so good, better than men where I live. And I mean the facial aesthetics and a few other things. I don't mean actors, but men I see in street polls or in english language learning apps, or in homemade porn. There are a lot of things I could say here, but I just want to say that I don't think it's good for me and I'm trying to get rid of it.

What's wrong with that? To me, women of some ethnicities are on average significantly more attractive than women of other ethnicities (and the ethnicity I belong to is not the most attractive one) but I don't think that has any moral implications - it's no different from the fact that to me, brunette women are on average significantly more attractive than blonde women.

There's no obligation to have the "type" that you're most attracted to be the group that you belong to yourself.

may be the fact that I will never meet any of them irl? and I not only find them more attractive, there's so much more to it.
