How it's used
This expression is highly derogatory and carries strong sexist and xenophobic undertones. It reduces a woman's romantic choices to a crude sexual stereotype, implying that she is specifically seeking out Caucasian men for sexual gratification. Using this term in public or professional settings is considered offensive and rude.
Examples
She is always going out with foreigners, people say she is dating Western men.

Common mistake
Learners should avoid using this term entirely, as it is not a neutral way to describe dating preferences. It is strictly a slur used to shame women for their choice of partner, and using it will likely cause significant offense.
