Title might come off as generalization so please read before downvoting.

I am a Brown guy who has a thing for East Asian girls. My University and my area in general is full of First off the Boat Asian girls. I do well with other girls, but I bomb out real fast when approaching FoBs, some are very unresponsive and some straight up ignore me.

My friend says it could be the Brown stigma, but I am not giving myself excuses.

Any ideas on how to go through with approaching them, or Asian girls in general? Is direct fine, or do I try indirect? Any ideas for indirect approaches? Thanks!
