I live in Asia, and it seems like many locals here like "western" features. Yes, Asian women seen as extremely attractive by many of the locals will never pass as white in any part of the world, but many of them have features such as double eyelids, large eyes, pale skin, a tall nose bridge, and big breasts. These are traits stereotypically associated with white women (although I understand not every white woman have these traits) and I doubt it's a coincidence. Being commented on looking "mixed" or having "whitish" features is seen as a compliment by many Asians in Asia.
And yes, there are Asian men out there who internalise Eurocentric beauty standards. They'll be vocal about white or half white women being way more likely to look attractive than Asian women and talk about how much they hate stereotypical Asian features such as flat noses and single eyelids. I really don't know if they truly think like that or they're just trying to neg Asian women. It sometimes makes me wonder if they would date white or half white women if they were born and raised in a predominately white country and see Asian women without stereotypical western features as consolation prizes. Many Asian men dream of dating supermodels or winners of beauty pageants in Asia, and these celebrities are either Asian with "western" features or partly white. These Asian men are often vocal about non-Asians being racist to Asians yet they suffer from internalised racism themselves.
I've heard of Asian men blaming Asian women for wanting to look Caucasian to attract white men who prefer Caucasian women, but honestly, many Asian women I know who put women stereotypically western features on a pedestal have little interest in dating white men. They want to look "western" as they believe Asian men prefer women like that.
These Eurocentric beauty standards are pretty much "unachievable" for Asian women who are not born with "western" features except plastic surgery. It hence sucks how so many people are perpetuating a beauty standard unachievable for so many women. Chasing something "unachievable" is simply not healthy. Eurocentric beauty standards can apply to men too. However, men are less pressured to conform to society's beauty standards as many people believe money and personality can compensate for looks for men and many women are less picky about their SO's looks than men.
