    How many of my fellow Asian ladies have been called "exotic" by a not Asian guy who thought it was a compliment?

        Yes...especially growing up and playing sports. Often being the only girl in a league OR during my time as a collegiate athlete where I was one of a handful of Asian female athletes who were very talented but highly tokenized.

        Or the variation I would hear a lot in high school from the white women who wanted to hook me up with a friend who was "into exotic girls."

        One time I was sitting at a bar w a white dude friend when a rando white dude sat next to him, leaned over, whispered to him while pointing his finger at me: “hey where did you get THAT?” Idk if that’s “being called exotic” but it was certainly a compliment to my friend 🙄

        My Asian ancestry isn't visible as such, so my experience is different, but I guess I'm mixed enough to get that comment sometimes. Often it's more subtly phrased as "you fascinate me." Other times, random strangers ask out of the blue, "Are you Russian?" 🙄
