My understanding of fetishizing is that it has little to nothing to do with physical characteristics, but is instead determined by stereotyping.

Saying you have a preference, even a strong preference, for physical traits that are more often, or even exclusively, found in a certain group is simply what you’re attracted to. Saying you prefer partners from “X” group because (insert list of stereotypes) is fetishizing.

For one example, consider the language that incels and people looking for “trad” partners use. They talk about preferring certain ethnic groups because they think all women from those groups are submissive, more feminine, adhere to traditional gender roles, etc., that’s fetishizing.

Agree, also, I’m Lewis so I win.

What the fuck has been happening with these people? They used to just be weirdos that thought they could drive (travel) without a licence and didn’t think they had to comply with a bunch of laws, but mostly administrative stuff. When did they morph into a group that’s all about stealing stuff with magic paperwork?

I used to see them as a bunch of goofs that were mostly harmless, aside from things like driving without insurance. Now they’re just a bunch of thieves trying to get over on anyone and everyone.
