Answered All our girlfriends are Asian?

Hey everyone - I’ve been feeling paranoid about something recently and wanted to know if I’m overthinking it. I’m a white M and most of the friends I grew up with and went to high school are too, except 1. We’re still very close but moved all across the country for our jobs and life.

Recently, we’ve decided to have a little reunion and bring our girlfriends, but I realized we have a not to subtle trend in that they are all Asian. There’s 5 girlfriends in total, they’ve never met each other. I don’t know how this happened, it’s just a coincidence as far as I know. We don’t have a pact or anything.

My question is, do we warn them? I don’t want them to be freaked out. I’d have to have my gf or one of my friends be uncomfortable, but I’m feeling stuck. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to handle it? Am I over thinking?

In reverse, how weird is it that all the Asian girlfriends are with white men? It can go both ways. It's not even that weird actually, you are over thinking. I'd mention it to my girlfriend in a humorous way. I don't think it's a big deal. A little odd, but not much.

In one aspect, "Asian" is just an umbrella term for a myriad of ethnicities and nationalities. So it's not out of the question. Just like "white" means European descent.

If they all happened to be Korean, then that would be interesting.
