Is there any negative perception of East Asian guys with local Indonesian girls? I ask this because there's a history of tension between the Chinese Indonesian community and the ethnic Indonesians or is that all in the past and the two groups get along? From what I heard from Chinese indo friends they tend to stick in their own insular group and not mix. Also does it matter that I'm obviously not Muslim.
Negative? No. SEA girls love the Chinese pale look, as the Chinese are considered "higher class". Not to mention you don't look like sex tourist so girls aren't nearly as publicly judged compared to a bule.
They don't consider the Chinese to be higher class. It's the Thai-Chinese, Indo-Chinese families etc. that are higher class. Chinese mainlanders are generally disliked although they welcome their money. I doubt many know where Taiwan is so you'd be lumped in with Chinese.
The most common reason I have heard straight from SEA chicks is that EA guys "take good care" (look after them financially). Koreans, Japanese are known to provide for girls. Even a middle class Thai or Indonesian is still poor by EA standards. You are basically the beta provider dream for them. White foreigners meanwhile have gotten a reputation for being playboys or being relatively tight.
Whatever works for you if you believe it's an advantage though. Like guys who arrive in Bangkok believing Asians worship white dudes. The confidence does help even if the belief is untrue. They like paler skin (I should know) but that doesn't mean you are seen as high class. You're not Thai/Indonesian/whatever so you aren't of any class by definition. $$$$$$ goes a long way towards explaining things.
