Ethnicity can be a hard barrier to overcome for men, I've noticed. Guys from certain parts of the world seem to have a tough time navigating American social norms around dating and such. Perhaps where they're from they never interacted socially with the opposite sex. So they have a really tough time connecting 'normally'. And it seems to build this big wall between themselves and women, unnecessarily.
If it was about culture, ethnic men raised in the states would do fine. They are still heavily disadvantaged, it's mostly about women's extreme racial requirements in dating, which are often considered beyond criticism.
