A Melbourne man claims he will only date white men because they are superior and, kinder and more attractive.

Alexander Montgomery, who grew up in Singapore, said although he has dated other races in the past, an 18-year-long relationship with a Caucasian man led him to believe 'once you go white, nothing else seems right.'

The 42-year-old, who will appear on 'Date My Race' on SBS on Monday night, said he knows his views are controversial – and racist by some people's standards – but defiantly stands behind his opinion, according to the Gold Coast Bulletin.

'To me white people are the epitome of class and the gold standard of desirability,' he said.

'I really feel the white race is the superior one today. I only date white men.'

Mr Montgomery, who wrote 'True Confessions of a Potato Queen,' claims his views are not racist, but simply a preference for what he finds more attractive.

He compared his physical preference to someone who like to date tall people.

He also said he believes Caucasians are 'kinder and more sympathetic,' but that could be why Australia has 'the refugee problems it does.'

Mr Montgomery said there was chemistry between the pair before they met in person but said there was no attraction during their first face-to-face date.

Dating experiment 'Date My Race' is hosted by Santilla Chingaipe and will feature three participants with racial bias when it comes to dating.

It will air at 8.30pm on SBS.
