BW dating questions

Let me just first clarify that I’m not seeking any personal validation but just have a question that may turn into a decent discussion. Secondly, I am a 45 y/o WM

Have any of you ever felt like someone from another race’s romantic interest in you was purely fetishized? What was the giveaway? Were you correct or incorrect on the judgement?

On a side note, I assume that most black women aren’t into white men. I’ve also heard black women assume the same about us. Communication is lacking lol.
