Do you think it is appropriate for a white man to date a Filipina woman?

Let’s say there is a Filipina woman in a graduate program at a nearby university, and she wants to date me.

However, I am a white person. If I date a Filipina, I may be accused of having an “Asian fetish” or “yellow fever” or something like that. That’s part of the reason I have avoided dating Asians so far.

Is this a reasonable stance, or should I consider dating a Filipina, even though I am white?
