Rafal, perhaps you need a "Black Like Me," experience.  Yes, I realize the
book is dated, but still...  I did not realize Asians faced significant
discrimination against them in the United States.  Well, I do remember a
male Asian friend saying Asian women preferred dating white & black men, and
how frustrated he felt, but that's different.
