Being a foreigner in Taiwan - Part 1

So I've been in Taiwan for almost two month's now, I know what you're thinking, 'that's not that long', but it's long enough to give me some insight in a thing or two. 
#1. Why are white people so appeased here? I meet these white guys who are just dogs, jumping from one women to the next and they tell me how easy it is for them because they're white! They tell me about girls who are quite literally throwing themselves at them, so much that they don't have enough time in a day to get to all of them. I don't even know if I can say what these guys are doing is wrong! And that's really hard for me to say cause normally i'm very black and white about what's right and wrong. I mean, if those girls are just looking to have it on their record to having slept with a white guy, can you say what the guys are doing is wrong? They're just giving the girls what they want. The question is, why do these Taiwanese girls want these white guys so badly? A friend of mine told me it could partially be because of how white culture was/is portrayed in their academia. They grow-up learning how great white culture is, while also being given the same message via the media and consumer goods. I'm starting to dislike seeing interracial couples now in Taiwan, and the funny thing is, all my relationship have always been interracial relationships! I'm disliking a part of myself thats always been with me! ahhh!! What's going on.
