There are very few Asians in my town, but the last place I lived (next town) has about a 25% Chinese/Indian population. They often come here with cash in hand, so I don't care who buys my house!
The family that came yesterday is mildly interested. They are relocating from NY, and therefore, do not have the prejudices of a New Englander, against contemporary homes.
Even when a potential buyer has no prejudices, I think it makes sense to remove things like religious items as well as family photos and other personal items. Anything that makes a buyer think about the current residents is a distraction from the decision to buy or not.

Pax, I hope your friend is okay.
