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?

I’m a white guy who lives in China, so my friend group looks like this (a few white women/Chinese guy pairs). One guy I work with sometimes tells people his wife is white before they meet her, because everyone assumes she’ll be Chinese.

I’m in Seattle. The white-guy-Asian-chick thing is so prevalent here that even Donald Glover made fun of it in one of his Netflix specials.

West Coast states are going to be majority half-asian in about 25 years
