Why does there always have to be a "reason" when two people from different races fall in love? Nobody asks a German man why he fell in love with a German woman, but put different skin on them and suddenly there has to be some all-encompassing reason behind it. There are beautiful, smart, charming women (and men) in every racial and ethnic group. Some of them are bound to fall in love when you have a country with so many different ethnicities.

This reminds me of the stereotype of white men who fall for asian women, and the people who say that it's because we're after their "submissiveness" so we can control them. Usually, it's just sour grapes from single people who are jealous that they can't hold down a relationship, so they claim that "others" are trying to "steal" their men/women away.
