Although borderline creepy, I don’t take too much of an issue with this guy if these posts are the only thing he does. I tend to give people charitable interpretations, and from the posts it seems that he is just mentioning that the foreign students have better style and fashion. I’m a guy, but it definitely would be flattering if someone made a post and complimented my style and personality. At least in the post he did not make any harassing remarks; if he has done more over the line things elsewhere then feel free to correct me.
But of course, anti-Asian racism is rampant, and students definitely should be vigilant. There will be people who are not just complimenting you on twitter.
He took photos of girls, fetishized their race, called them “foreign mids” and posted it all online. This isn’t “borderline” it’s fucking gross. And that “pleasing personalities” is classic orientalism

Can’t say about you. But that sentence alone makes the whole thing creepy on another level
