However, things completely change once you cross the international borders and then it becomes less about "race" like how it was in the US and more about what "Tradition" or "Culture" are you from.
This is very true. In the United States, race is quite often viewed as a lazy proxy for both culture and class so those descriptions don't hold up as well in terms of most overseas environments where people are more nuanced in their ability to size up other individuals.

I specifically only like Asian girls but if they happen to come from certain cultures in Asia, I want nothing to do with them!
Asians abroad can be so different from one another that it is difficult for me to explain. I am really only partial to people from the Japanese culture in Asia. I tend to have a slight cultural aversion to most people of the Chinese, Korean, Taiwanese, Hong Kong, and Singaporean cultures. I would have to say that most of these cultures are different from the others and they often don't even mesh well with each other.
The Central Asians tend to be more to my liking also. Perhaps because of the Russification of their cultures that creates an affinity, but they just seem more at ease with life and a tad bit more socially relatable.

Do you believe some culture are better than others?
Absolutely yes, I do believe some cultures are better than others. Cultures which I dislike are:
-Islam-based (Islam has been called the greatest collection of bad ideas in the history of mankind.)
-Encourage or accept gratuitous violence especially against innocent people.
-Cultures that encourage or permit cruelty or violence to children.
-Cultures that frown upon people who wish to improve and develop themselves as much as possible.
-Cultures that prefer poverty instead of abundance among their people. Some go so far to think that poverty is a virtue.
-Cultures that grant licence to women to exploit, abuse, and mistreat their men (Anglosphere and The Anglobitch Model).

Do you think less of a person if they belong or subscribe to a specific culture?
I am not proud of saying this, but yes. I tend to look down on North African and Middle Eastern cultures steeped in Islam. These people tend to be very different in terms of proxemics which means they stand too close, they are impositional, often obese, inbred to a fault, easy to offend, quick to violence and religiously arrogant to boot. There are exceptions of course and there are Westernized people from these regions, but I simply have a negative view of them when I encounter them in my travels.
I view Turkish culture as one of socially-controlled barbarians too. I do like the elite, Westernized, Kemalist Turks very much, but the more numerous rural Turks are simply Arab-lite and quite often more obnoxious.
To a lesser extent, I do not like some Latin American cultures, but this has much to do with class as much as culture. Argentina suits me very well, as do the sophisticated Criollo centers in the major cities of Mexico. But poor, indigenous countryside Latin Americans are a benighted lot indeed. That is not to say that I don't meet many exceptional Latins in places like South Florida. I do, but they tend to be Latin by family history only rather than by culture.

What is your favorite Culture, or rather, what part of the world are you able to naturally assimilate yourself in?
I feel comfortable enough almost anywhere in the world at this point, but assimilate is too strong a term. I feel most comfortable in the areas of Europe that are recently war torn or stuck in frozen conflicts. For example, I get treated very hospitably in the Balkans and in the Caucasus, two areas with recent and current bloodbaths. They have almost tribal grudges that go back centuries, and they will slit open the throats of their enemies as fast as they cut off a pat of butter for their bread. For some reason, when I go traipsing about in these regions, I am seen as a non-hostile guest, not a historical enemy and people tend to view my presence as a positive omen that things are normalizing so much that a Western guy feels at ease hanging around there. The women are the most gorgeous in the world in these regions, and they tend to be quite enthralled with Western men for a variety of reasons.
Suffice it to say, I have been threatened, stalked, warned, and even surrounded by a pack of friends of a jealous rival, and I still feel at ease there because it is always posturing because I am protected by a shield called "foreign guest" which is never shattered. Even if it were, bystanders, acquaintances, and strangers would jump in to stop it even when they would permit it against their own. So yes, this is the bloodletting part of the world where I am most satisfied.
To give you a recent example, just two weeks ago my girlfriend and I had an argument and I made the mistake of telling her the truth about herself on a particular matter. She shouted, "People get KILLED in [her country] for saying such things!" Yes, it shocked me too, but I gave no reaction. The next time we spoke she was crying, apologetic and professing her undying love to me. Such is life in those parts of the world. If I one day end up bleeding profusely from the neck on the side of a Balkan or Caucasus back road, it will all have been worth it because the ride was so fun and exciting!
One other thing I hear a lot from Balkan/Caucasus women is "Ak! You are just like our Serbian (or Albanian, Georgian, Bosnian, Armenian) men! It is the greatest compliment to hear from them which means something in my behavior is familiar to them and I am not like the limp-wristed Western man-children they encounter or hear about. What is not to love about that?
