I recall spending time in Australia a few years back and seeing Indian birds and Asian cats speaking with an Aussie accent. It warped my reality as I'd never been exposed to it before. The only exposure most Americans have to Australian accents are from rugged Crocodile Dundee types, and I found the novelty alluring.
Moreover, I was in Europe last year and saw 3 short Filipino-Australian dudes kill it with hot European girls. Filipinos are a novelty in Europe as it is. Filipinos with an Aussie accent doubly so. These guys were fit and had style as it was, but they were definitely leveraging their exotic factor to tap girls above their league. It was ironic given that Asian men are low on the totem pole in Anglo countries - these guys wouldn't pull the same quality back home in Australia where these guys would be stereotyped as a low status Asian guy.
Which leads me to think - is there an untapped niche for minority guys from Anglosphere countries overseas? I'm not talking fresh off the boat immigrants, but culturally assimilated dudes born and raised in the US/UK/Canada/Australia/New Zealand.
We all know an Aussie dude would wreak havoc in the States simply because of his accent. But what about an Indian guy from Canada with a Canadian accent running game in Sweden, or a Filipino guy from Australia in France. Essentially, these guys "sound white" without "looking white." And for Europeans who've never been exposed to Indian and Asian dudes speaking with an American/Canadian/Australian accent, it may be the first them they'll have met someone like this and it'll compound their exotic/novelty status. I could even see these guys leveraging their exotic factor to out-pull generic dime-a-dozen white dudes.
I'm also thinking this could work for minority cats in other Anglosphere countries. For example, Chinese-Australian dude could kill in America as his Aussie accent will negate the negative stereotypes associated with his "Asianness." Or likewise an Indo-Canadian in Australia who'll be seen as more "Canadian" than "Indian" on account of his accent.
