Many White American Liberal girls from big American cities won't pay too much attention to minority guys. Too many negative stereotypes about those guys have fill their minds. New York probably has the largest community of successful black men as well in the whole county, so I can imagine there's a lot competition and the white girls who like black guys have plenty to choose from.
Personally, Im mixed (mostly white, about 1/4 black) and lived in Philadelphia for a while and looking back on it, I rarely dated girls who were actually from Philadelphia or the very near suburbs. Most were from far out suburbs or rural PA or NJ.
At the same time, I think this problem can be overcome and I know 2 black men in New York who have crazy good success with women. They're usually successful, well-dressed and have friends of every race and color you can think of.
Actually come to think it, I went to Chappele's Radio City show in New York recently and there were many black men there dating extremely sexy white girls.
The best advice I can for dating white girls is to find girls who are moving to the city from rural parts of the country. They won't have those negative stereotypes, and I can guarantee they've probably rarely met a successful well-dressed man who wasn't white.
You definitely raise some interesting points and your observations echo my own. With regards to white, non-european women in NYC, I'd say among minority guys, black guys seem to do the best. My "napkin" theory as to why this might be:
1) Cooler to be seen with a black dude than other minority dudes
2) An undoubtedly masculine depiction in the media and culture in general. There's no equivalent of a Denzel Washington, Will Smith, or any number of famous male celebrities in music/sports in the Asian/Indian-American communities. Bruce Lee was decades ago and was even then seen as Chinese first, not American. Aziz Ansari and John Cho still come across as beta, as successful as they are. Hispanic whites are effectively white and generally blend just blend in, while the other Hispanic groups (Puerto Rican, Dominican) normally hang uptown and have their own scene goin on. They also have enough cute Dominican women that stick to their own, so they probably don't feel the need to venture outside anyway
3) Being seen as quintessentially American. Can anyone seriously question the impact of jazz, hip-hop, r&b etc. on the very fabric of American culture? South Asians didn't begin to arrive in large numbers here until the 90s, so as a group their history in this country is very young, and they have a shit ton of emasculating stereotypes to contend with to boot. Meanwhile other Asian-Americans are often seen as Asian first, then American.
Things are slowly changing of course, and there might well be many other influencing factors, but these are the main things I think explain what's being observed.
