Racial Dynamics Presented in Dating Conventions

Everytime two Asian guys come together for that informal romantic engagement also known as a first date, one question almost always seem to come up:

"So, do you like Asian guys or white guys?"

This question came up in virtually every single date I've been on in my life—even on dates with non-Asian guys—and quite frankly I'm getting sick of it. Are we so considered undesirable in this society that we have to reaffirm to each other whether or not we like other Asian men? I think this is sad. A question like this will probably not come up during a date with two white, Latino or Black guys.
