Racial preferences in dating and attraction, how big of a deal?

[pete rose]

Race plays absolutely no part. I love flavors.

So, you've got two equally awesomely personalitied (it IS a word, dammit) guys in front of you. Both have rocked your world. They are polite, fun, modest, hardworking. There's nothing about either of them that says 'asshole', 'cheater' or 'lawyer':

One is (just say) 6 feet plus, dark haired, green eyed, athletically built and by all accounts damn fine ...
The other looks like Jay Leno

Honestly (hand on heart, hope to be plagued with butt pimples if you untruth)... which one do you go for?

Whoever gives me butterflies. Both can have every imagineable perfect quality...next step would be to choose based on chemistry. Outside of that...I'd probably go for Jay Leno. I don't like built/athletic bodies.

This thread is more about political correctness.

I got hate messages because I said I was not into White women and honestly I am not. People keep pulling the whole BS about "be open minded blah blah" on me when I have a GF. In my area I face racism for actually being in an interracial relationship but online I face animosity for not being open minded enough.

Like people on here say it is 2010 or whatever, how respectful would you be of another person's preferences?

where did you get hate messages? Here? If so, I'm sure most people are sending you hate messages because they're sick of your race threads. Start a thread on sandwiches, I'm sure it'll help win people over.

Nothing about my race threads, I got called all sorts of names for not being into White girls. Again, this is more so about political correctness than race.

I am taking a shot here

you guys live in a bubble where everyone is White, I doubt most of you live near diversity like I do, not always a pretty experience

Didn't say built (gross, BTW. I mean, who on earth thinks walking around looking like a condom stuffed full of walnuts is attractive? I digress ...)

Well, you're one among the few then, Spexy (it's the money and the cars isn't it. C'mon, you can tell us ) ... admirable, I say. Mind you, now I think about your answer some more, all the clues are there ... BSB fan

Ooooh! Sandwiches! I want one!!!!

people cannot read and answer a question, let me simplify

say your friend was not for dating a certain race, religion, ethnicity or heck, whatever, what would you do?

Sloooowly I turned. Step by step. Inch by inch. And I let him have it!

I will only date white chicks as my vampiric paleness is too startling when paired with the duskier hued maidens ..... it's not about race, you see. It's about accessorising ......

hmmm?
i live in colombia and in a neighborhood with absolutely no foreigners.
i know hundreds of people around here and see and talk too many each day.
they know i am not colombian because of my accent but 99.9% dont give a damn about that

i also havent been with an american girl in years.
ive been with white chicks, black chicks and every color in between here.
in fact i went out earlier tonight with a girl that had dark tan skin and black hair.
we had rice pudding, 2 peices of cake and coco-colas , (the coke here is really good, no high fructose corn syrup)

but do you know what the last thing on my mind was before, during, and after we hung out?
it was her nationality or skin color.

here's what i suggest you do revamp.
dye youre hair blonde, powder your skin a nice ivory tone and spend a few days as a white person, you will learn a lot but most of all that there is no damn difference.

I tell you this because i think youre not really a bad person but i fear that you are becoming a one dimensional freeones character here.

I live in a major city in Canada, so its very diverse. Canada prides itself on being a "melting pot' of different cultures....so no, I don't live in a bubble.

Not give a shit. I'm not going to tell people what they should and should not like.

Do you miss Will E Worm as much as I do?

See, it's like this: they got rid of Corey & Trevor and replaced them with Jacob. But within a few episodes, the people who didn't like Corey & Trevor missed them hella bunches! So like I said... do ya miss Will E Worm about now?

Gasp sarcastically, pretending to be offended for a few seconds and then move on.
But then I live in a white-bread bubble with a white picket fence and a Barry Manillow soundtrack...That is, until I go outside. Then it's like a Crayola box. A very loud Crayola box.
Actually, I don't know Manillow. I just hear his name referenced to white people. You can have it.

Don't be hatin' the dancers, man .... and anyway: Diversity are nearly all white. What are you talking about ...?

 

[Deepcover]

I'm attracted to white women, usually on a friendship level.
