Marvel, I agree that the original question was misunderstood by many posters. I think it got off track when ChinesePussy lumped Japanese men together in some not so complimentary ways that had little to do with their looks. Part of my answer will be off track, too, because I just can't help but make a comment about Lorelei's statement that stereotypes are based on fact or they wouldn't have gotten started in the first place. I vehemently disagree; I agree with the poster who said that those spouting off stereotypes says more about them than those they are sterotyping. For example, for anyone to think that the stereotypes of blacks in the US as lazy or shiftless or inherently less intelligent, etc. than their white counterparts is based on fact rather than based on how such labeling would justify America's treatment of that segment of society for their own gain throughout American history is just plain stupidity.
Now, to answer the original question, I've been attracted to particular men and women of most every racial or ethnic group I've ever encountered. I couldn't pick one top favorite.
