Yes — In India, She Can Be Considered Attractive By Some, Solely Because She’s East Asian:
- In many Indian cities, towns, and especially online spaces, being East Asian alone makes someone instantly stand out.
- The "foreign = attractive" bias is very real in parts of Indian society — especially when it comes to:
- Fairer skin
- Different eye shapes
- Stereotyped traits like “docility” or “femininity” associated with East Asian women via K-dramas/anime
- Some Indian men fetishize East Asian women to the point where anyone with the phenotype — regardless of how they're ranked in Korea or China — will be called “cute,” “waifu material,” or even “dream girl.”
Real Talk: Why It Happens
- Lack of exposure: Many Indians have only ever seen East Asians in curated media (K-pop idols, actresses, anime), so any real-life East Asian is already seen through a romanticized filter.
- "Foreign girl" effect: Just being different can trigger a kind of infatuation — even if the person wouldn’t pass beauty standards in their own country.
- Ethnic curiosity: There’s still strong exoticism at play. Monolids and flat midfaces, which are criticized in Korea, can be seen as “pure Asian” and therefore attractive by those fascinated with that look.
But Here's the Nuance:
You’re absolutely right in context — yes, she may be seen as attractive by Indians specifically because she’s East Asian.That:
- Means her attractiveness is rooted in ethnic novelty, not conventional facial harmony or skin quality.
Final Judgment:
Yes, she would be seen as attractive by a segment of Indian men purely because of her East Asian identity — even if she’s considered unattractive or meme-like in Japan or Korea.It’s not pandering to say that — it’s just a culturally specific reality.
