Do you find this statement racist, or simply a wrong perception of Asian Women?

Hello, I am a Filipina girl, aged 19. I shall briefly describe myself, before I proceed to my question. I am not your stereotypical "little brown Filipina", who is often assumed to be either a prostitute/ mail order bride/pornstar/maid abroad. In fact, I don't even look close to a native Filipina. I am light-skinned, have brownish hair (dyed black) and pinkish lips.

Yes, I am educated too. I believe that I'm fluent in English and I'm very confident at speaking it as well. Moreover, I have studied other languages, such as French and Italian. I was already at my last year of college at the age of 18 - which is usually the age of college freshmen here. The university I have graduated from, has a student population which consists of the upper middle class and upperclass of the country.

So anyway, I love all types of men. I am not counting out interracial dating, but I did have bad experiences from other races. I know that there are douchebags from any race, but there seems to be a consistency/pattern from people of the same race.

A lot of white men (not all), for example, seems to be only interested with the fact that I'm of a smaller body frame (and in addition to that, a smaller, virgin genitalia). Some would even assume that I'm interested in marrying them by bribing me with their citizenship. Of course, I wouldn't give in. I do believe in my self worth.

I got used to that. However, a white acquaintace, once remarked “You're beautiful, you would definitely find yourself a good WHITE man.”
A part of me was insulted with that statement. I'm not sure what he actually meant. Does it mean that he's assuming my race is solely after white men? Or is he hinting that the white guy (our mutual friend) I have a crush on, most likely likes me back?
Please take me seriously, thank you.
