This website isn't exactly new. It's been around for a while
http://www.asianwhite.org/afwm/why.html
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm a bit skeptical of this guy and his motivations. He's a white man who dates Asian women exclusively and the purpose of his website (or most of it anyway) seems to exist purely to justify his preference for Asian women.
White male/Asian female interracial couples do seem to be more common than the reverse. While lots of guys in these relationships are perfectly well adjusted, the fact is that a lot of them also prefer Asian women because of popular stereotypes about them. And this guy is trying to convince people that he's not one of them. But to me, the very fact that he feels a need to set up a website devoted to explaining his preference suggests that he is.
At a glance his arguments seem reasonable at first. But if you think about them more carefully, they should make anyone suspicious.
He says:
OK two things he said really stand out to me. One is that he goes on about his love for "Asian" culture as if it were on big homogenous entity. There is no such thing as "Asian" culture. The culture of countries like China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam all have histories and traditions quite different from one another and just shows how superficial he is.
Also he says his friends are very skeptical of his love for "Asian" culture. I'm sure it would be interesting to hear his friends side of this argument as to why they're suspicious.
And then on their attraction to him he says:
Really. How much more pompous can you get than that.
Sure dude. You just keep telling yourself that.
Maybe I'm wrong about this guy I don't know. But if I'm not, the sad thing is that guys like him aren't rare.

He says:
I have found that people are very skeptical of my love for the Asian people and the culture they have created. Because I date Asians they assume that any attempt to understand or appreciate Asian culture is strictly an attempt to impress Asian women. I have always admired the art, philosophy, and traditions of Asia. China and Japan have always held a certain appeal for me. Being a movie buff, I regularly watch movies made in Asia or movies about Asians. The politics of the region fascinate me; I have spent countless hours discussing the Chinese freedom movement with friends.

When an Asian woman looks at me with attraction it fills me with a great sense of being a handsome man.
My attraction to Asian women has nothing to do with White Women, and everything to do with Asian Women.
