Potato Queen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A potato queen is a person, usually an East- or Southeast-Asian male, who prefers or exclusively dates caucasian men. Often, but not always, it is a younger Asian man who dates older white men.^[1] The name could be considered gay slang. Depending on the context, the term may be considered derogatory and offensive internationally^[2]

The term is also often used to describe individuals in contrast to "sticky rice" (Asian males who prefer other Asian males), "rice queens" (caucasian men who prefer Asian men), "bean queens" (men who prefer Hispanic men), and "refried beans" (Hispanic and Latino men who prefer other Hispanic and Latino men).
