Feeling uncomfortable with childhood friends friend group
Recently I have been feeling uncomfortable with my childhood friend's (he is white) friend group. They are all white males dating Asian females. I did not want to bring it up before because I thought it would be a weird topic to discuss and make me look self-conscious and racist, but now I see his wife posting IG stories all the time and the people they are hanging out with and they all happen to fit this description. This has been going on for a good 10 years now. I do not really hang out with this childhood friend anymore because of this and we just do not have any shared hobbies or interests anymore. This makes it easier to just forget about it but seeing him pop up once in awhile on social media is a constant reminder they are giving off fetishization vibes to me. The only evidence I have of them actually thinking this way is they were "joking" about repopulating Japan and South Korea because someone posted news about their low birth rates. Am I being too sensitive and unreasonable?
