Overview
Daniel rejected accusations of racism regarding his dating preferences, maintaining that a lack of sexual attraction toward Black, Indian, Muslim, or other non-Japanese women does not constitute hatred or racism, and contending that attraction is not a conscious choice.
Daniel's romantic preference is specifically focused on Japanese women, supported by his four years of studying Japanese, his desire to reside in Japan, and a lack of interest in visiting or affiliating with countries such as Thailand or Mexico.
Daniel generally lacks attraction to non-Japanese Asian women such as Thai, Vietnamese, and Filipina women, and found it difficult to choose an attractive woman from Game of Thrones due to the cast being non-Asian before selecting Margaery Tyrell.
Daniel referred to acquaintances by their nationalities instead of their names to assist viewers with identification.
Daniel has never dated a Black, white, or Indian woman and likened experimenting to determine if he would enjoy it to placing a hand in a blender.
