According to one online dating study [1], asian men can compensate with income to appeal to a white woman. An asian guy must make $247,000 more than a white guy for them to have the same appeal to a white woman.

The implication of that study is either that Asian men are really unattractive to white women, or attractiveness is less sensitive to income than people assume.

Physical disabilities garner sympathy, being non-white does not.

They were not even mad when he stood up to reveal he is not actually disabled; and there are another bunch of videos when they dress as ridicule as possible and still get away with it.
