Personally, I don't care about other people's sexual preferences ans I don't see why anyone should.
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).

Marrying an Asian person is different from sexually fetishizing Asians as a category, so I don't think Cage or Soros are relevant here.

I don't think that's obviously the case. What _is_ the case is most people dating people who are 1. in close geographical proximity 2. in a similar socioeconomic position, not necessarily because they prefer that, but because that's the most natural way (at least historically) to find someone to date.

I think the implication is that people are interested in their own race by default and everything outside of that is notable/unusual.
Not sure I buy it.
