Hang on, presumably you're now framing this as a US thing. How do we know the demand in the US comes disproportionately from white men, is that in the stats[1]? OKCupid seems to tell a diff story.

The one argument you can make against fetishizing a group of people is that it's reducing members of that group to fetish objects.
So if you're an Asian woman trying to date seriously, you'll get a bunch of white men who only care you're Asian and nothing else.
I don't know how much of an issue that is in practice (and I'm sure it's different in diff parts of the world).
