12	->''"'If any descendant of mine should marry someone colored, I'll come back and haunt 'em.' When I was grown, I liked to tease her with the knowledge that our blood had been commingled with that of the other race ever since the country began; she would then simply change the subject and complain about how the [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar Civil War]] was the vengeance of God on a generation of Southern boys who preferred shooting and hunting to going to school."''
13	-->-- '''Creator/GoreVidal''', ''Point to Point Navigation''
14
15	A character HasAType that involves people of a specific ethnic group. This group can be as wide as entire races, or as narrow as a local tribe or country. As long as the division is based on geography, ethnicity, or race rather than individual qualities. A classic example is when a Westerner is attracted to Asians for being "exotic," or a white person being attracted to black men for...[[BlackIsBiggerInBed other reasons]]. This viewpoint is sometimes built into the narrative itself, especially in older works and/or pornography. In modern works (outside of porn), this has a chance of backfiring if the paramour disapproves of being objectified in such a manner.
16
17	Unfortunately, this tendency does not necessarily make someone antiracist. It is not uncommon for an [[BigotWithACrush outward bigot]] to have secret sexual relations with people of the target race, consensually or otherwise. And if the women of that race are stereotyped as ''always'' being lust-inspiring and a man hates them for precisely that reason, while still seeking them out behind closed doors, that might be SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny. Even if the person isn't outwardly hateful, they might have ''sex'' with members of that race but would never [[ParentalMarriageVeto bring one home to Mom and Dad]].
18
19	This trope need not ''always'' be negative, however. It's entirely possible to be attracted to a specific racial group while still respecting them as human beings and being mindful of their culture and social issues. And of course a lasting relationship would be built on more than just sexual attraction. Still, outsiders may [[MalignedMixedMarriage belittle the relationship]] by trying to reduce it to this trope, either by accusing the lovers of only being in it for shallow reasons, or thinking members of their own race aren't "good enough."
20
21	Compare ForeignFanservice. As you can see, this is a ''very'' pervasive trope. Contrast LikeGoesWithLike for characters who prefer their own race or ethnic group. InhumanlyBeautifulRace often involves this trope being applied to fantasy races, such as elves.

50	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
51	* ''{{Manga/Gate}}'' has the main cast stay at a manor where all the maids are different types of LittleBitBeastly. Naturally, two of the squad being {{Otaku}} to some degree, they couldn't be happier. However, the head maid explains that this wasn't due to any enlightened attitudes on the part of the former owner, he just liked the idea of being surrounded by attractive women of multiple species.
52	* In the ADV dub for ''Anime/GhostStories'', one of the {{monsters of the week}} has a preference for black men. [[BlackIsBiggerInBed She's very honest about her reasons]].
53	* Saikawa from ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' appears to have a thing for dragons, given that she fell for both Kanna and Ilulu almost immediately after meeting them (along with making a comment about Lucoa). What makes this rather impressive is that [[{{Masquerade}} she doesn't even know that dragons exist]].
54	* The blood members of the Boreas Family from ''Literature/MushokuTenseiJoblessReincarnation'' seem to have a thing for [[LittleBitBeastly beast people]]. Eris' grandfather has their household staffed exclusively by them for this reason, [[spoiler:and Eris in her adult years takes two of them as her lovers]].
55	[[/folder]]
56
57	[[folder:Comedy]]
58	* In 2005's ''Comedians of Comedy'', Creator/BrianPosehn wished that someday America's relationship with Iraq would be like our current one with Japan. "We find their old people adorable, they have restaurants in the cool part of town, you have a Scott who only fucks Iraqi girls."
59	[[/folder]]
60
61	[[folder:Comic Books]]
62	* ''Jill: Part-time Lover'' has [[UnproblematicProstitution the title character]] outright state a preference for Black men based on confidence and style (''every'' guy is [[BiggerIsBetterInBed well-endowed]] in this world so it's not [[BlackIsBiggerInBed that]] trope) to the extent she gives her real name and number instead of it being "business" with the book's last encounter being [[RuleOfThree three]] of them, which ''would'' normally qualify as WhereDaWhiteWomenAt except Jill's an AmbiguouslyBrown redhead.
63	* The 1967 comic-book story "Cold Steel For a Hot War!" in ''Our Fighting forces''# 102 follows the adventures of Captain Hunter, a Green Beret who is searching the jungles of Vietnam for his paratrooper twin brother, who's been shot down in enemy territory. His guide on this quest is a young South Vietnamese woman who may or may not be a VC double agent; Hunter knows this, and yet he cannot repress his feelings of lust for her, repeatedly referring to her (in the inner-monologue narration) as "an Oriental kewpie doll." Finally determined to get some answers, he unexpectedly grabs the woman and demands that she reveal her true motives before pulling her close to kiss him in a relatively nonviolent SlapSlapKiss moment - whereupon two VC guerrillas leap down from a tree to attack them both (the woman is not a traitor after all) and one of them mocks Hunter's foolishness with "Yankee shouldn't mix war with pleasure; it make him very dead!"
64	* ''ComicBook/{{Shortcomings}}'': PlayedForDrama. Miko and Ben are a Japanese-American couple. Miko knows Ben has a thing for white women, and is immediately suspicious of his new white coworker. She's upset when she finds his lesbian porn stash and all the women in it are white. She accuses him of settling for her when what he really wants is the Western beauty standard.
65	* [[HateSink Woden]] of ''ComicBook/TheWickedAndTheDivine'' has a troupe of thirteen Valkyries who are all over 5' 9[=''=] and East Asian. [[CastingCouch And yes, sleeping with him is a part of the job description]]. He's repeatedly called out for being grossly racist and misogynist, particularly by Cass, who is ''also'' tall and Japanese and knows damn well [[TransChaser how he feels about her]]. [[spoiler:It's eventually revealed that he's the white academic David Blake whose ex-wife was Asian.]]
66	* Briar Raleigh, a member of the Hellfire club in ''ComicBook/XMen'', has a mutant fetish. She is not herself a mutant. Her favorites seem to be magnetic powers and healing factors.
67	[[/folder]]
68
69	[[folder:Comic Strips]]
70	* In one ''ComicStrip/TheBoondocks'' storyline, Sarah (white woman) is upset when she finds out that her husband Tom (black man) [[WhereDaWhiteWomenAt only ever dated other white women]]. He eventually argues back by listing all of ''her'' ex-boyfriends, all of whom have generally black names (one was apparently kicked out of the [[AngryBlackManStereotype Nation of Islam]] for dating her).
71	[[/folder]]
72
73	[[folder:Fan Works]]
74	* Gerudo are a DyingRace in ''Webcomic/ATaleOfTwoRulers''. Ganondorf's mother was an "exotic" prostitute because she couldn't find work elsewhere.
75	[[/folder]]
76
77	[[folder:Film -- Live-Action]]
78	* PlayedForLaughs in ''Film/{{Airplane}}'' with a little girl who likes her coffee black -- like her men.
79	* In another case of it being PlayedForLaughs, ''Film/BadGrandpa'' has Irving ask for a local strip club, specifically with black women at it. He mentions he’s especially fond of them to the point where, at least according to him, his old nickname was “Jizzy Gillespie”.
80	* ''Film/DeepCover'': David wonders aloud why he likes having sex with black women so much; Russell says it's actually a slave fetish.
81	* Deconstructed in ''Film/GetOut2017''; The Armitage Family and the local community's obsession with the athletic superiority of black people and their bodies leads to [[spoiler:GrandTheftMe schemes because they believe that they're better than white people at various activities]]. This only serves to highlight the insanity and racism the community holds.
82	* ''Theatre/{{Hair}}'' has a song called "Black Boys/White Boys" where two groups of girls - one white, one black - sing about how black boys and white boys (respectively) turn them on. The song is so very obviously about heterosexual race fetishism that it becomes very easy to overlook the fact that the song is ''also'' about homosexuality (with added Race Fetish) in the army: The male white officers agreeing with the white women that the black boys are delicious like chocolate, and the black officers agreeing with the black women about how kissable the white men are. By making the fetishism a mutual affair, the song makes clear that it's not about racism or sexism. Also, the focus on shallow beauty/sexyness is done in such a way that it sends an anti-racist message: The difference between races is a shallow difference, merely a matter of how you look. And in the end, each of us is lovable and beautiful to someone.
83	* In ''Film/Hairspray2007'', Tracy's best friend Penny falls in love with black dancer Seaweed and proudly states that she's never going back to white men.
84	-->'''Penny:''' In my Ivory Tower, life was just a Hostess snack, but now I've tasted chocolate, I'm NEVER GOING BACK!
85	* ''Film/JungleFever'' explores an interracial relationship between a black man and a white woman based on racial sexual fetishes. Another interracial relationship, where the couple sees each other as people first, is offered as a counterpoint.
86	* The eponymous detective in ''Film/RockSlyde'' prefers big black women.
87	* In ''Film/TheSocialNetwork'', Creator/BrendaSong plays the Asian girl who jumps at the chance to hook up with Facebook co-creator Eduardo Savarin. Also played with by the characters who discuss why they are attracted to the Asian ladies at Harvard ("They're hot, they're smart, they're not Jewish[[note]][[ShiksaGoddess Said by a Jew]][[/note]], and they can't dance!")
88	* In ''Film/WhatDreamsMayCome'', the main character offhandedly remarks that he thinks Asian girls are beautiful, leading his daughter to believe that ''only'' Asian girls are beautiful.
89	[[/folder]]
90
91	[[folder:Literature]]
92	* The Dutch novel and TheFilmOfTheBook ''Alleen Maar Nette Mensen'' ("Only Decent People") is all about the subject, when a young man from a well-off Jewish family in Amsterdam (who is noted to be AmbiguouslyBrown, often being mistaken for Moroccan) breaks up with his current (white) girlfriend because he's far more attracted to incredibly curvy black women and starts to frequent the local ghetto neighborhoods in search of them. The trope is also [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]], since this leads [[MalignedMixedMarriage his parents to disown him]], and his sexual fetishism causes his black girlfriend Rowanda to accuse him of being a "Speculaas" (literally a type of sweet, but the slang term basically means someone who's PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy) and picking up all sorts of bad behaviors from the men he hangs out with. They break off their relationship, but it's implied that he HookedUpAfterwards with [[{{Reconstruction}} a different black girl who's a better fit for him personality-wise]].
93	* ''Literature/{{City of Bones\|1995}}'' by Creator/MarthaWells: The bio-engineered krismen are unusual in human cities and are considered desirably exotic despite FantasticRacism against them, particularly the males.[[labelnote:*]](The immunity to disease and inability to get a human woman pregnant are bonuses.)[[/labelnote]] Khat gets propositioned a lot by random strangers and once distracts [[spoiler:the Heir]] from questioning him by letting her sleep with him, but notes that, before [[spoiler:Elen]], none of them had cared about him as a person.
94	* In ''Earth: The Book'', the "translation" of the word "exotic" is "I'm turned on by how your eyes are shaped."
95	* In ''Eighty-Sixed'', there is an entire list of [[CampGay Queens]], many of them categorized by what ethnic or societal groups they find attractive.
96	* In ''Literature/EleanorAndPark'', Eleanor takes interest in Park's Asian features as opposed to his white-passing brother's features.
97	* ''Literature/ModernFaerieTales'': Kaye's mixed-race looks (half-white and half-Japanese with blonde hair) are the subject of some exoticization by other characters on a couple occasions in the first book. Janet expresses envy over them; later, one of the guys they hang out with presses her about her ethnicity and then makes some fetishizing comments about Japanese schoolgirls.
98	-->Janet sighed and made a face. "Boys all think you're exotic. I'd kill for that."\
99	Kaye shook her head morosely. What too many white boys liked about Asian girls was weird. It was all mail-order brides and kung fu at the same time.
100	* In ''Literature/RiotousAssembly'', Creator/TomSharpe's farce of South Africa in UsefulNotes/TheApartheidEra, white policemen consider sexually assaulting black female prisoners a rare perk in an underpaid job. Kommandant van Heerden himself is not averse - but when he feels the need, he takes it over the border to brothels in Portuguese Mozambique, which isn't breaking any South African racial separation law. Liutnant Verkramp, his resident secret policeman, duly keeps a file on his boss to bring out when the time is right.
101	* This is how the Menagerie (also known as the House of Exotics), a pleasure house, works in ''Literature/SixOfCrows''. Each girl working there comes from a different country, and is dressed up like and referred to as an animal from that country. There's a Fjerdan wolf (tall, blonde), a Kaelish mare (red-haired), a Zemeni fawn (large dark eyes), and more. Including the Suli lynx (brown skin) that Inej was forced to act as after being bought by Tante Heleen. Each girl is treated rather horribly and is usually not referred to by name.
102	* In ''Literature/TheSorceresssOrc'', many human women are curious about male orcs, and some orcs find humans exotic. [[spoiler: Vervain, however, was never attracted to brawny men before she met Riyu.]]
103	[[/folder]]
104
105	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
106	* On ''Series/ChewingGum'', Tracey briefly dates a guy who claims he's never dated a black woman before, and seems to have a fetish for them. This culminates in her dressing up and doing faux-African dances for him, until his black ex-wife walks in and implies that this isn't the first time he's done this.
107	* Implied with Donna in ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "[[Recap/DoctorWho60thASTheGiggle The Giggle]]" when she remarks "Do you come in a range of colors?" in response to the black Fifteenth Doctor. This is further supported by the fact that her husband and ex-fiancé are/were black men.
108	* On ''Series/{{Frasier}}'', Martin once shows a preference for Asian women because they remind him of girls he dated during the Korean War. Daphne, Frasier, and Niles are all pretty weirded out by it.
109	-->'''Daphne:''' This explains that so-called "mix up" at the video store. "Mistake" my fanny, you ordered ''Film/TheJoyLuckClub''!
110	* On ''Series/HowIMetYourFather'' the Indian-American Sid jokes that his fiancee must have a thing for South Asian guys when he remembers Creator/KumailNanjiani is her celebrity crush.
111	* Barney's EstablishingCharacterMoment in ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' is announcing to Ted that he's moved on from half-Asian girls, and is now going after Lebanese girls.
112	* ''Series/HowToGetAwayWithMurder'' introduces a new, African-American character, Gabriel Maddox, at the end of the fourth season with the immediate implication that the viewers already know at least one of his parents. [[spoiler: It's eventually revealed that Gabriel is indeed a Keating--but ''not'' a Harkness. Rather, Annalise's husband Sam (who is white) was married previously and fathered Gabriel with his first wife.]]
113	* Implied in the ''Series/LawAndOrder'' episode "Good Girl". A young black man is stabbed to death and the defendant claims that she did so after he raped her and tried to assault her again. The investigation reveals that the two had actually been dating. She concocted the story so that her bigoted father wouldn't find out about their relationship--several years ago, he broke her arm because she was dating ''another'' black guy.
114	* ''Series/LawAndOrderOrganizedCrime'': Richard's wife is Black, as was his ex-wife, and dialogue implies that he's mostly or only attracted to Black women.
115	* On ''Series/MadTV'', there is a reoccurring skit about an interracial couple who host a call-in show called ''Inside Looking Out'', where they give tips on interracial relationships. The white wife is an unabashed bigot who makes derogatory remarks about her black husband (including stating she'd attacked him before because she thought he was a burglar), while the husband ignores the degradation since he enjoys sleeping with a white woman.
116	* During a FreudianSlip, Phil from ''Series/ModernFamily'' accidentally makes it known that he has a serious thing for black women.
117	-->'''Phil''': I'll admit it, I'm turned on by powerful women. Michelle Obama, Oprah, Condoleeza Rice, Serena Williams...[[DelayedReaction wait a minute]].
118	* On ''Series/MyNameIsEarl'', Joy thought her father would give her hell for her marriage to Darnell, because of the way he approached her dating a black guy in high school. It turns out, the young man was [[spoiler: Joy's half-brother; Mr. Darville cheated on his wife multiple times with several different black women. Joy also has at least one other half-sister named Liberty, who is on Earl's list.]]
119	* ''Series/TheNightOf'': Attorney John Stone clearly favors black women. His ex-wife is black, and he's trying to start a romantic relationship with a black prostitute he sees regularly. When he mentions "young urban women" in regards to a court case, his legal partner notes how "well-spoken" that term is.
120	* ''Series/RayDonovan'': The title character's father has a strong preference for black women, even telling a white woman(Creator/RosannaArquette!) "I'm surprised I could fuck you. You're not exactly my type."
121	* ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'':
122	** In a sketch about a how-to-find-love seminar, Creator/TracyMorgan's character is only into Chinese transsexuals.
123	** The show has also had fun with the Kardashians on this topic.
124	--->'''Kim:''' Marriages are hard, and Kris was only half the man I wanted him to be. And by that I mean he was only half black.
125	** Season 46 had a skit promoting African tourism... to white women looking to hook up with black men. Music/{{Adele}} was completely incapable of [[{{Corpsing}} keeping a straight face]].
126	* In ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', the DirtyOldMan Kelso cheerfully admits he has a thing for Asian women. All of his affairs are with one. It's implied to be due to having served in Vietnam; he even conceived an illegitimate child during the war.
127	* ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'', "The Chinese Woman." Jerry dials a wrong number and gets a woman named Donna Chang. He apologizes and hangs up.
128	-->'''Jerry:''' ''redialing'' Should've talked to her; I love Chinese women.\
129	'''Elaine:''' Isn't that a little racist?\
130	'''Jerry:''' If I ''like'' their race, how can that be racist?
131	** Though it turns out [[spoiler: she's not Chinese.]]
132	* There's a possible FantasticRacism example in the 1983 ''Series/SesameStreet'' TV movie ''Big Bird in China''. Big Bird is in Chinatown one day when he catches sight of a painting of a beautiful yellow bird in a shop and is instantly taken with it. The shop's owner tells him that it is ''Huang Feng'', the Chinese phoenix, and that she can only be found after those who seek her come to China and solve four strange riddles that will eventually reveal the Phoenix's location. Immediately, Big Bird feels a strong desire to go to China and tell the Phoenix how much he admires her culture, even though he knows next to nothing about the Chinese and never displayed an interest in them either. It's hard not to reach the conclusion that Big Bird is romantically infatuated with ''Huang Feng'' and seeks her for a mate. In any case, when Big Bird finally finds the Phoenix at the end of the movie, he finds that she's not a bird at all, but [[spoiler: a Chinese goddess who teaches foreigners about China]].
133	* ''Series/TheSexLivesOfCollegeGirls'': In "[[Recap/TheSexLivesOfCollegeGirlsS1E1WelcomeToEssex Welcome to Essex]]" Whitney thinks her white secret lover Dalton has a fetish for black women due to him complimenting the color of her skin. He admits he's attracted to black women more than other races.
134	* ''Series/{{Spectreman}}'':
135	** Lla is a simian alien from Planet E, but he has a fondness for attractive human women (despite working to destroy the Earth). In one episode, he gains the affection of Spectreman's co-worker Rie, but they don't end up together.
136	** Rie could also count. She seems to be drawn to non-human aliens. She has a crush on Spectreman and also is attracted to Lla even though he is obviously a gorilla wearing a PaperThinDisguise.
137	* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
138	** Spock's father Sarek has been married to human women twice, despite the fact that this is strongly frowned upon in Vulcan society.
139	** In ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'', it would not take a tremendous leap of the imagination to conclude that the Cardassian [[Characters/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineGulDukat Gul Dukat]] has a somewhat creepy fetish for [[RubberForeheadAliens Bajoran]] women. The creepiness comes from the fact that the Cardassians were occupying Bajor at the time, and that he would have been perfectly able to shoot any of them in the head with no consequences if they turned him down, and that all of them were quite aware of it. Some of his detractors suggest that [[SexSlave this was his real fetish]], rather than anything special to do with Bajorans. Although, even when he does not directly control Bajor anymore, he's clearly still obsessed with the planet and its people, continuing to seek out Bajoran women to romance. With the exception of his Cardassian wife, who is occasionally mentioned but never shown onscreen, the only women we see him involved with or interested in are Bajoran.
140	** Other Cardassians were also shown to take Bajoran "[[SexSlave comfort women]]" during the occupation. As with Dukat, whether the fetish was for Bajorans in particular or just having a sex slave is debatable.
141	** In ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', Lwaxana Troi is quite open about her preference for human men. That said, she has pursued men of other species in serious relationships, so she's definitely not limited to humans.
142	* ''{{Series/Supernatural}}'': The running gag of Dean's favorite adult magazine, Busty Asian Beauties. His on-screen love interests have mostly been white women, however.
143	* Charlie Sheen's character on ''Series/TwoAndAHalfMen'' occasionally displayed a fondness for Asian hookers, though by no means exclusively. (One ImagineSpot depicting his funeral shows mostly white women - and at least one [[TokenMinority token black]] one - in the church wearing short black dresses. They spit on his corpse, and the saliva is said to lessen the pain of all the pitchfork stabbings his soul is receiving in Hell.)
144	* ''Series/{{Vida}}'':
145	** Nelson prefers "pink nipples", i.e. white women.
146	** Lyn is quite frequently on the receiving end of this trope by white men who use her for "exotic Latina" sex only to end up dumping her.
147	[[/folder]]
148
149	[[folder:Music]]
150	* Music/TheBlackEyedPeas' "Latin Girls" is about how they like Latin women.
151	* Music/ChildishGambino mentions in several songs that he likes Asian girls (he is black). Most obviously on "Kids":
152	-->Finding you is like finding Asians I hate\
153	But they say I got a fetish, nah I'm skipping all of it\
154	Black or white girls always come with a set of politics
155	* Stephen Lynch, a white man, has a song called "Vanilla Ice Cream" which is, oddly enough, about his preference for dark-skinned women.
156	-->"Oh, I hate vanilla ice cream, I like chocolate instead"
157	* Referenced in a very dark manner in the Music/{{Radiohead}} song "Pearly*," which is about "dirty people who use sex for dirty things."
158	* Music/TheRollingStonesBand' "Some Girls" compares attributes of women from various races and nationalities. Subverted somewhat in that not all of them are deemed positive or attractive. They also wrote the songs "Brown Sugar" (about slave rape) and "Little Negrita".
159	* "Black Girls" by the Music/ViolentFemmes.
160	* [[Music/{{Weezer}} "Goddamn, you half-Japanese girls do it to me every time...]]
161	* Similarly, Music/FrankZappa's "Jewish Princess".
162	-->I want a funky little Jewish Princess\
163	A grinder, a bumper, with a pre-moistened dumper.
164	[[/folder]]
165
166	[[folder:Podcasts]]
167	* The hosts of the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' recap podcast ''The Greatest Generation'' are quite taken with the characters of Ro Laren and Kira Nerys, leading them to joke that they have a thing for Bajoran women.
168	[[/folder]]
169
170	[[folder:Theater]]
171	* In George C. Wolfe's play ''Theatre/TheColoredMuseum'', Miss Roj mentions that gay bar "The Bottomless Pit" does not just cater to black men, there are also "The dinge queens, white men who like their chicken legs dark".
172	* ''Theatre/{{Hair}}'' often used the song "Black Boys/White Boys" in the same way as the film version.
173	* Implied with Penny in ''Theatre/{{Hairspray}}'', specifically the line "But now I've tasted chocolate and I'm never going back!" in reference to her new (black) boyfriend Seaweed. Given the setting of the show, it was likely meant more as a protest statement against her very racist mother than a specific declaration of fetish, but still.
174	* ''Theatre/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet'' starts with the song "No Place Like London", where young Anthony sings about the wonders of the world. While the film adaptation and some (maybe most) theater versions have these wonders be mountains and such, there's also a version where it's quite clear that he's singing about the women of the different countries. In all versions, the song is most likely intended to present Anthony as a good guy, not as a racist and sexist. It's just that the more sensual version has [[ValuesDissonance aged badly]]. Which is likely why it didn't stick.
175	[[/folder]]
176
177	[[folder:Video Games]]
178	* ''VideoGame/DivinityOriginalSinII'': Several human patrons of the Driftwood tavern are outspoken in their belief that the exotic, sophisticated, LizardFolk are by far the best lovers; one is almost prepared to risk a {{Court Martial\|ed}} to buy time with the [[HighClassCallGirl high-class lizard escort]] upstairs. The player character can choose to agree with them.
179	* ''Franchise/DragonAge'':
180	** Elves are often on the receiving end of this, since they're considered very beautiful by the other races, but are otherwise [[EnslavedElves treated like lowly slaves and servants]].
181	** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'': Elves get hit with this hard, for good and for bad.
182	*** The City Elf Origin's StarterVillain is a serial rapist and murderer of elven women, and abducts the City Elf's wedding party (including you if you're female; your fiancee if male), with the intention of having his way with all of them.
183	*** [[{{Elfeminate}} Zevran]], the player's [[TokenMinority token elven companion]], frequently invokes this. He states that the [[MurderInc Antivan Crows]] often recruit elves like him because humans find them attractive, making it easier to lure them into a HoneyTrap and invoke SexSignalsDeath. He also frequently lists being "elven and handsome" regarding his desirability as a sex partner. The player character can even gain ''approval'' by saying, "There's always a use or two for a handsome elf" as a flirt option.
184	*** Interestingly, a Non-Elf ''PlayerCharacter'' can be played as having this for elven characters. Especially the Human Noble, who can engage in an OptionalSexualEncounter with a bisexual elven woman in the prologue, and romance the bisexual elven companion Zevran, and/or only choose elven prostitutes in Denerim.
185	** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'': A Hawke who shows interest only in elven {{love interest}}s and/or {{optional sexual encounter}}s can ''easily'' be played as having a thing for elves. ("There's always a use or two for a handsome elf" even returns as a flirt option for this game's handsome male elven companion, Fenris.)
186	** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'': Surprisingly, ''[[HornedHumanoid Qunari]]'' are depicted as the most attractive race this time around. [[SpellMyNameWithAThe The Iron Bull]] is treated as the most unequivocally attractive party member, due to his [[BiggerIsBetterInBed size]], muscles, and [[HornedHumanoid horns]]. Elven companion [[GayOption Sera]] also has a ''serious'' thing for Qunari women; frequently getting DistractedByTheSexy if a female Inquisitor is Qunari, and [[spoiler:when many female Qunari assassins attack in the Trespasser DLC]]. Sera also has a thing for Dwarf women, although it's not as overt.
187	--->'''Sera:''' ... Woof.
188	* In ''VideoGame/HuniePop'', Kyu Sugardust, the literal ExpositionFairy, loves black and Asian women, and is ''not'' ashamed to let you know it:
189	--> ''(regarding Lola)'' "Mmm-mmm! I looooove me some chocolate!"\
190	''(regarding Aiko)'' "Dude! Asian chicks, ''don't even get me started!'' I have, like, the ''worst'' case of yellow fever ever! '''EVER!!''' Like, a yellow '''''plague!!'''''"
191	* ''Franchise/MassEffect'': The [[TheBeautifulElite asari]], an alien race of [[OneGenderRace female humanoid]] [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Blue-Skinned Space Babies]] are considered highly desirable to all species, from humans to the near asexual and only vaguely humanoid salarians. Asari are so desirable there are countless strip joints and brothels across space with asari dancers and prostitutes as their main attraction. It gets a lampshade in the second game when three buddies of different species are watching an asari dancer, and all of them think it makes perfect sense for their own race to find them attractive but are mystified that the other two do. In the third game, Javik reveals that even protheans were attracted to and had sex with asari. To put this in perspective, the other top species of the present were hunted, eaten, studied, or simply ignored; but the asari alone were worth having sex with. Then again, its [[{{Troll}} Javik]], so who knows how serious he is.
192	* ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'': Female Twi'leks, combined with SlaveRace.

195	[[folder:Webcomics]]
196	* ''Webcomic/DaughterOfTheLilies'': Orrig the orc mercenary isn't thrilled about orcs becoming popular fodder for InUniverse {{Romance Novel}}s like ''[[https://www.daughterofthelilies.com/dotl/815 My Green Chieftain.]]''
197	* ''{{Webcomic/Niels}}'' brings us two examples of this trope:
198	** The title character, bisexual Niels, has the jungle fever, bad. He's in a [[http://nielsg.com/morning-glow poly-amorous relationship with a black couple]], and his personal security is staffed with blacks as well. Several comics have drawn attention to his various sexual fantasies.
199	** Agent 250, our {{Manly Gay}} secret militant agent, seems to have a fetish for Scottish people and culture. His current boyfriend, Agent 300, is a full-blooded Scotsman, and [[http://nielsg.com/different-degrees-of-scottish several]] [[http://nielsg.com/football comics]] have drawn attention to [[http://nielsg.com/science-of-kilts 250's uncontrollable arousal]] whenever this fact is emphasized. [[http://nielsg.com/return-of-the-mother 250's ex-wife Irene]] even lampshades this in one strip. He is especially attracted to his boyfriend's accent, which comes in two flavors: his more subtle accent, being the product of a rich private school education, and his [[http://humon.deviantart.com/art/Drunk-Off-His-Ass-286259830 thicker, natural Glaswegian accent]], which he only drops into when he's too drunk to maintain his upper-class-gentleman composure.
200	* In ''Webcomic/SingleAsianFemale'', it's theoretically impossible for a white man to be attracted to an Asian woman as anything more than a fetish object. (While the in-universe narrator was an Asian female, the author was an Asian male.)

203	[[folder:Web Original]]
204	* ''Website/TheOnion'': Parodied in [[http://www.theonion.com/articles/asian-man-has-thing-for-asian-women,3521/ this article]].
205	* And played extremely straight in [[https://reductress.com/post/i-loooove-black-men-thats-why-i-participate-in-the-historically-racist-and-demeaning-practice-of-hypersexualizing-them/ this one]].
206	* One of the forms of sexual racism documented on the Tumblr blog [[http://www.racistsofgrindr.tumblr.com Racists of Grindr]].
207	* Referenced in one of ''WebVideo/SonicTheHedgehog2SpecialEdition'''s bizarre intermissions, where [[FunWithSubtitles the subtitles]] translate a rapper's jive as, "Sometimes I wonder if it's possible for a black man to have a fetish for black chicks."

210	[[folder:Web Videos]]
211	* ''WebVideo/JourneyQuest'' [[DiscussedTrope discusses]] this and combines it with FantasticRacism when some Orcs take advantage of their human disguises to mock every human stereotype they can think of.
212	-->'''Orc:''' So, an Elf, are you? Being human, I have an inexplicable sexual fixation with your species.

215	[[folder:Western Animation]]
216	* On ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' Bullock admits that he loves [[ChubbyChaser fat]] Asian butts, and he cannot lie. (Also, sluts. Fat Asian sluts are "the trifecta!")
217	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'':
218	** While Malory has many sexual partners of a variety of races, her fantasies seem to focus on black men.
219	** Lana Kane has yet to be seen with anyone other than white men (Cyril and Archer, to be precise). Given her fascination with watching interracial porn, it's likely this is more than just coincidence.
220	** Then there's Archer with his "Mulatto Butts" ringtone.
221	* In ''WesternAnimation/ClerksTheAnimatedSeries'', Randall is interested in Asian Chicks, though when through some wacky circumstance he has several {{Geisha}}s eager to do his bidding, he sends them out for porn featuring Asian women. Like every woman he's dated in the past, they become lesbians by the end of the episode. The previous episode showed the time he accidentally ordered a Japanese mail-order ''husband'' by mistake, but the closing montage of that particular story showed that he kind of enjoyed it anyway. Apparently, Asian is more important than chick.
222	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has a variation in the episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E13SimpleWays Simple Ways]]": Trenderhoof (a unicorn) certainly seems to have something of a (G-rated, of course) fetish for earth ponies, and one of the driving forces of the plot is that he's interested in Applejack because she fits his idea of what earth ponies are supposedly like rather than being interested in her as an individual. Applejack, of course, wants nothing to do with him.
223	* An early episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' had a nightclub singer named Gulliver Dark performing in one of the most popular burlesque houses in Springfield. He sings "I could love a million girls/And every girl a twin./I could love a Chinese girl/An Eskimo - " which is as far as he gets before the act is [[HilarityEnsues comedically interrupted]] (by Homer, of course). After he gets Homer to join him on stage, they sing the rest of the song: "...An Eskimo or Finn./I could dig a Deutschland chick/A girl with golden curls./In fact I think that we could love.../About a million girls!" The showgirls dancing with Gulliver are almost all white (which, this being ''The Simpsons'', means they have [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation yellow skin]]), but [[CultureEqualsCostume they dress in "ethnic" costumes depicting whichever culture he would sing about]].
224	* Parodied in ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' when Butters gets a Canadian girlfriend. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Since Canadians are treated as an oppressed minority group in the episode]], the girl's overprotective father is suspicious and accuses him of having "maple fever".
