As a Korean guy, I thought that the whole "I can't get girls because of my race" thing was limited to just the PUA community and only a small amount of Asian and brown guys really felt that way. You can tell by my name that a PUA named DJ Fuji more or less capitalized on this sort of thing to market his brand to Asian men out there struggling with women.
I went through it myself in my younger years and thought that I was just one of the very few Asian guys who felt insecurities about my race, soon I would learn I was being naive. As I made friends with guys of various backgrounds, I started to learn that guys from certain minority groups or "unsexy" minority groups (as Chase calls it) tend to have this sort of victim's mentality as well as a lot of inner game issues with their race.
Not only will I share WHY guys have these issues with their race (victim mentality and inner game problems) but MOST IMPORTANTLY, what can fix it and fixed it for me.
When I say "unsexy" in this regard, I generally mean any race that isn't white or black. Latinos are kinda up in the air, I have noticed a lot of the more "brown" ones have these issues while the ones who look white (Spain and Argentina) or black (Dominican Republic) do not. For the sake of this thread though, I will leave them out of it since one of the biggest playboys on this board is Latino (he knows who he is!).
So what's actually causing these beliefs?
After talking to a lot of these guys as well as reflecting on my own experiences, this is what I have come to realize.
Perception is reality. Because it is so rare to see guys from certain minority groups doing well with women, it makes younger guys and guys new to the game from that minority group have inner game issues and start over rationalizing things.
These guys go out in public and know various people from their friend circles but they see the reality before their very own eyes. It is rare for them to see a guy of their race getting with hot girls of other races, especially if the girl is white. They look around and they meet various people only to realize that most men of their race are either dating women of their own race at best or struggling just like they are. You just don't see any Asian or brown Dan Bilzerians and playboys, outside of PUAs whose validity many will question (and in general just come off as goofy try hards), and that gets these guys thinking.
There it is, the victim's mentality and inner game issues speaking.
For example, you might have a guy who is brown and has a thing for good looking blonde women, except he never sees men who ethnically look like him get those kinds of girls. Naturally, he is going to think that his ethnic appearance is somehow going to stop him from getting those kinds of girls and going to be a barrier in regards to doing so.
Sure he can make a lot of money and be very successful but even if he gets those girls by doing that, deep down inside he will feel that she is with him for the money and not really because of who he is. Because it is rare to see those kinds of women fall in love with or want to sleep with guys of his race and there goes the victim's mentality.
It is a nasty cycle to be in and one I have seen turn guys very bitter and angry. I have noticed it with Asian men that missed out, they might end up doing well but they have this extra aire of douchiness to them and that chip on their shoulder.
It's not really a "thing" to sleep with guys of any race other than white or black.
White guys are obviously the dominant race in the western world while for black guys, there are a lot of good stereotypes that make women want to sleep with them. Women wanting to sleep with a guy because he is black is actually a thing and black guys hear this sort of stuff all the time. It isn't really done for any other minority group, which further makes guys of "unsexy" minority groups develop a victim's mentality because they are not sexualized.
Then couple that in with what society tells these guys.
But most importantly, how can we help these guys and how can this be fixed?
We can tell these guys "no dude your race is not the issue", they won't believe us.
We can explain to them how their culture is holding them back but if they are westernized, it doesn't apply to them and plus it's not like westernized Asian and brown guys as a whole really do that well either as they still have a lot of geeky tendencies.
We can tell them what to fix and to improve themselves, they might even do it, but the mental block is still going to be there.
Reading books and posts as well as reasoning with them won't fix it.
So here is what fixed it for me.
What really fixed it for me was moving to Seattle (not there right now due to a business trip) where I found that it was common for me to see Asian guys with above average looking girls of other races. Not only that, I also found that I had the opportunity to meet other Asian men in the city who did well in the game. I met Asian guys that were fucking hot girls of all races, including hot blondes, and it slowly put me at ease to see it happen. It took a while for me to get over my beliefs about race but after moving to Seattle, no longer really had them.
When I could go to a bar and see an Asian dude making out with a pretty looking white girl, it was tough for me to blame my race on my failures when there is an Asian guy right in front of my eyes having success.
I also met well built Asian men cleaning up on Tinder, seeing all of the messages hot girls of other races sent them, and that made me realize that being Asian is in no way a major setback when it comes to getting hot girls.
Now sadly, I haven't seen it to the same extent with brown guys. I guess the culture really fucks the guys up so we should all be praying for more Grand Poobas and Zayn Maliks out there.
I feel that the people we surround ourselves with have a huge impact on the way we view the world. If more brown guys hung out with Grand Pooba, I am sure they wouldn't be saying that being brown is a setback in the game when they see him making out with a hot girl right in front of their very own eyes.
It's almost like a community effort mentioned in the book Power of Habit, excellent book, read it by the way.
A lot of people made massive changes to their bad habits by finding good groups to take part in and doing it together as a community. When people saw others from similar circumstances make changes in their lives it just uplifted everyone. Whether it was an alcoholic recovering to be normal or a smoker quitting, it inspired others even more.
For a white or black guy, they take this sort of thing for granted since it is so easy to find men of their race that get hot girls.
For guys of "unsexy" minority groups, it is much more difficult if not impossible to do so, quite frankly, Grand Poobas and Zayn Maliks are not that common.

Why is it so rare?
Why do I not see guys who ethnically look like me getting the kinds of girls I like?
What if being my ethnic background truly is that big of a setback?
Maybe I'll have to live with the fact that I will never get the kinds of girls I am attracted to because of something I can't change, my ethnic background.
There it is, the victim's mentality and inner game issues speaking.

You know, white girls don't really like Asian guys
I never see Indian guys with blonde girls
Almost all white girls I know hold a low opinion of (insert unsexy minority group here)
