Racial Generalizations Yes, Specifics No

http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/cas/235678393.html

The author of this ad is looking for an Indian woman. No particular reason, he's just looking and hasn't found one yet. Maybe the ones he sees in New York aren't fun and clean enough for him.
"These type of woman" are fun and cute. I have no idea what that means except to say that if you're clean and Indian and fun, then you're fun (truism alert) and cute. At least to this guy. No exceptions. Oh, and from the pool of clean fun Indian women, the author only wants clean people. That eliminates (let me do the math here...) nobody.

Let's learn more about the ethnic stereotype writing this ad. It's the typical white man. What typical traits does he have? He loves other races. That's what whites are known for, especially loving Indians. White people have always though them to be fun, cute, and colonizable.

Why even mention that you love other races? The author kind of makes it clear here that if you're black, hispanic, white, or middle eastern, or east asian, or south asian but not from india, then he's not interested in loving you. He says he loves other races but his preferences say otherwise. Maybe he is a typical white man...

The author himself is cute and fun. Has the author explored the possibility that perhaps he in fact is also an Indian woman? I bet that would blow his race-loving mind.
