White good, any other colour bad?

Ever so often when I am on the road while cruising in the car, I can see couples holding hands. Not any couples, but specifically, a western male and a chinese female.
The western males can come in various shapes and sizes.


Old?
Receding hairline?
Bald on the crown?
White hair exceeding the black?
Beer belly hanging so low it could touch the floor?
And for the ladies, there is only one type: Attractive, young and slim.

Well, am I exaggerating? Not really. Most of the time, they really have either one or a combination of the above. Of course I am not denying the fact that on rare ocassions, we do get a couple made up of a charming handsome white man with a gorgeous chinese lady.

I stand to be corrected but somehow, all the above doesn't matter as long as the guy is a white? Is it because these males come from the exotic western countries? Is it of the prospect that they will have very adorable-looking 'offsprings'? Is it the fact that these guys should somehow be quite financially competent? With all the above conditions attached except the male is a chinese, these women would probably not want to be caught dead being near any of them.

...the one who is still wondering

I am actually surprised it happens in Singapore too. I mean with the relative wealth and all. I understand Indonesia but Singapore?

Perhaps in Singapore, the reasons are primarily the following?
- having exotic looking offsprings
- increased chance of migrating to a western country?
