I just engaged in comments on Medium pertaining to a man who moved to Europe because he had no interest in American women. Race was not even the issue. It had to do with men who perceive American women as wearing a chip on their shoulder that they don't want to deal with. While a monolithic view of a subset of women has issues, there is often "some" justification for generalities, averages being what they are.
My wife's father was a violent alcoholic. Before we married, she blew something I had accidentally done out of proportion. Looking back, it was a test. She was not about to marry a man prone to domestic violence and put herself in a situation that could have led to that (once) to see who I might be beyond my courtship self. She was also revealing who she could be to me. Eyes wide open, her understanding of human nature is orders of magnitude beyond my often-clumsy cluelessness. Who we are in the face of conflict with those we love is huge and probably a primary cause of the failure of relationships. Was that because she is Asian? I don't think so. That childhood circumstance is shared by people in all cultures, having nothing to do with race.
