It’s 2014, and the dating habits of New Yorkers, always cosmopolitan, are now more visibly diverse than ever. While Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda were once the (white) faces of big apple romance on the small screen, a new generation of fictional daters are making multiracial love mainstream – like OB/GYN Mindy Lahiri, played by South Asian actor Mindy Kaling on Fox‘s Manhattan-based comedy, “The Mindy Project”.
With over 50 percent of New Yorkers unmarried, and approval ratings of interracial dating at an all-time high, it seems like it’s going to be a good year for the newest non-white New Yorkers looking for love.
Unless, that is, you’re an Asian man, says Vietnamese American, former engineer and current dating coach, JT Tran.
