Dunno your history but I'll say a Western accent definitely gives one an edge in terms of being "one of us". I won't lie, it took me some 5ish years for me to fully develop an Aussie accent (I thank my parents for the chance to grow up immersing myself in Australian society); and to this day, a trained ear can pick a slight RP trace in mine -- always a good conversation starter. I also have a slight 'travellers accent' from spending too much time in hostels and have been complimented on it by customers and others that I've opened. Voice or acting training really helps -- look into it.
Without being blessed with a 'local' accent, I guess you could run exotic game, but I've only ever tried that in Europe, West Africa and Latin America -- from the perspective of a Westernised Asian.
Something tells me it'll leave you firmly on the back foot vis-à-vis local players were you to try that in most of the Anglosphere.

It's been said before but helps to mess with expectations. So for example, if you look like a jacked bouncer type, quote some poetry or something, show that there's brains under the brawn. By the same token, as an Asian, you need to act more aggressive, energetic and alpha from the onset to stamp out the quiet, supplicating beta asexual nice guy stereotype. Get a friggin' tattoo even!
Also may help to minimize the accent, if that's possible.
Think about having to be more aggressive as a "privilege" opposed to an obligation. Have fun with it. Be a little more physical with the light touching, talking in close quarters, and persistence. Women are emotional thinkers so the right amount of intimate vibes should do the trick.
I'm more of an introverted guy with extroverted qualities because I've always worked hard with regards to self-improvement, honing my social skills, etc. Think of it as a fun game of you attacking life. Go out, try new things, and enjoy the process because leading an interesting life full of hard work should translate well into social settings. Always look to improve not just for the results but for sake of doing so. Interesting pursuits = interesting people = interesting results[...]
It's important to know what scene works best for you and to exploit those advantages. However...let my digress here a bit...and say try building a game that will thrive in all different types of situations whether it be that ASU sorority party or that hipster bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (not to mention ASU chicks are total hoes if in the right circles?). It's a long gradual journey but make it a fun one.
THIS. I know I piled a shitload of limiting beliefs upon myself growing up and this channelled itself into blaming a slew of irrational factors -- race, looks and height being the usual suspects. Never mind that I'm already above average height in Australia, let alone SE Asia; and that my looks and frame had long matured from babyface and skinny to lean and chiselled.

Reading your contribution has been very helpful. Special thanks to WestIndi and Brosemite for taking the time to write a long response.
To clarify, I'm Vietnamese and yes I'm asking how to game white girls. The reasons are of little relevant to this thread.

All this come down to my biggest problem:
How to generate max attraction in white girls, physical and emotional?
Dalaran, I'll say this with conviction. I've observed that culture is a
huge glass ceiling in terms of the Western Asian men's success in the dating game. In other words, East/South-East Asian Confucian culture is almost directly anathema to Western hook-up mores, and to a lesser extent, Western macho ideals. This is without even bringing in the whole player/PUA paradigm.
Forget about the crux borne by South East Asian peoples in being short in stature and effeminate in looks and culture. That very culture is what can also prevent you from advancing up the sexual pecking order.
You can address this by going against the grain. Drop any sort of Uncle Tom Syndrome baggage that a lot of Asians in the West seem to shoulder. Brosemite is right in ramping up physical contact, but apply this to guys as well (e.g. complimenting a colleague on a job well done). Smile more -- in a cocksure more so than a supplicating beta Asian way. Walk as though suspended by a thread running out of your skullcap -- ironically a practice I learnt from aikido.
These habits feed back into your aura and generally set you apart, frame-wise, from the 98% of beta Asians you'll find on the street.
At least, these are the factors that I've had to tweak into my favour over the years. For the record I've never approached let alone closed with an Asian girl so the trick is
not to frame it as an interracial thing. From when I
did do so, in my days of naïvete, it led to pedestalising. Neediness. No.

I noticed that with the mixed/asian girls sometimes I don't even do anything really to game them, and they just get attracted... Then it's pretty easy toward the bang. With white chicks I have to do dance game, mind game, drink game (I always let them know I was a bartender), and still my ROI is incredibly low.
It's funny. Here in Australia it's not a given that you'll pull interest from Asian/mixed girls. It happens, but often enough an Asian Aussie wouldn't give an Asian bloke the time of day even if he was Leonardo di Caprio with yellow skin.

It's not even something that you categorise among a FOB/SWPL dichotomy. Being acquiesced with a white-majority social circle, the acceptance of bringing back a white bloke to meet and Mum and Dad (the girl isn't propagating the family name) are among a few factors.
I know my little sister is more likely to end up with a white, even a brown guy than an Asian, despite having a social circle of different colours (again, mostly of the SWPL variety).
Mate it looks like you have a fair few trump cards in your favour. One thing I've learnt is
play to your strengths. I've also been a few years in the alcohol industry and it's something I've used to hook interest and escalate. Likewise having dabbled as a DJ (something I hope to get back into later) has helped in terms of coupling mystery with dominance.
I'd practise what I call "restrained passion". Don't go to OOT and don't babble on it. I can recall no less than 3 instances in recent history where too keen a frame has friendzoned me -- in very white-dominant, fuckfest-y environments no less. :\n

Guess it comes down to getting heels lift, more ripped, fixing accent, being more aggressive and choosing your venues well. While we are at it:
What types of aggression do you find work best for us Asian? There are so many types of aggressive game. But if you aint careful you fall into the macho asian stereotype, where you are just being a macho dick that girls hate asian for.
Go quietly confident but edgy. Yes there's a fine line between assertive and creepy but the whole point is to make it as natural as possible so as to dislodge yourself from the half-arsed beta Asian frame I mentioned earlier. Laugh at stuff (the music, the MC's lame jokes) that she might be amused by with coming across as douchebaggy/patronising.
Dial up and down the classy or bro factor as appropriate.

Off the top of my head, personally and first-hand witnessing:
Daytime: Community/craft markets, public transport in old-money/hipster neighbourhoods, yacht club functions, record shops, op shops (thrift stores in US-speak), the beach, spring racing carnival, university libraries, campus barbeques/gigs
Night time: Music festivals, alternative-living/hippie festivals, university balls, university cocktail nights/networking functions, intervarsity games, other student conferences/tournaments, house parties in hipster/yuppie circles, indie gigs, warehouse/art parties, indie or jazz clubs
Hope I wasn't too long winded, take it for what it's worth.
