So based on yout aforementioned description, why would call someone who doesn't want to date a certain race because they are not attracted to that race "racist"?

meant to lump an ENTIRE RACE of individuals together ... RACIST

actually , I did

You didnt answer my question

no, you validated your response,

let me ask the question again

based on what you posted ( see below)



based on what you posted how is someone who doesn't want to date someone of a different race because they are not attracted to that race being "racist"

wow. BASED ON THIS THAT I POSTED 'actions or words meant to lump an ENTIRE RACE of individuals together"

these words, 'not attracted to that RACE" (not that PERSON, but that RACE) is RACIST by nature ....

yes, but with no 'empirical' evidence ..lol

perhaps in YOUR family 95 percent, in my family,maybe one in four are as dark as 50 cent

in Western countries with a history of slavery, its no where near 95 percent that will be as dark as 50 cent.

and my family at least is LIVING proof of the ignorance of expecting all blacks to have a certain 'dark' skin(the shade of 50 cent)

play all the word games you want, Im not falling for it

you know unless you're Stevie Wonder that black folks have darker skin than whites, doesn't matter the shade of the colour it still identifiable , add in hair and other another features

The bottom line some folks ( I didnt just say whites) some folks do not like, or is attracted to black folks for whatever their reason is , skin, hair or other features.

Some are not attracted to white skin

it doesn't mean they are racists, or whatever label you come up with

I think people who come up labels to justify their rejection because they cannot accept rejection and that is truly sad.

There is absolutely nothing racist about excluding an entire race from your dating pool.
Black people have different facial features than white people and very different pheromones / very different
People are attracted to what they are attracted.
It’s absolutely possible to not be attracted to a certain race and not wanting to date them.
Black people have a totally different bone structure than white people. Someone can be attracted to white people but totally not be into black people and still be respectful towards black people in every day life and not be a racist.

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, no doubt about that. And tastes are different.

Please let me remind all this thread is about Interracial Dating either your for it or against it.

But do not quote others for their opinion and try to justify their preference on whom they will Date!

If it is not your preference to date outside your Race then it is just that.. There is no reason to degrade/insult/attack others for their preference of whom they date..

Those that continue quoting and attacking after we have cleaned this thread up will find themselves in time-out!

For the topic of interracial dating

I'm neither for it or against it

Reason, because I believe its up the individual and they are free to make choices that is comfortable for them, this one of the things I love about western society.

That is an example of Personal attraction

there are others that said they are not attracted to ( whatever race) because of physical features, I dont believe for one minute that is racist, now if they say they dont like interracial dating because their race is superior and ( whatever race) is inferior, subhuman and other derogatory that yes that is racist.

I have dated different races, however, I do like some better than others. I consider that a personal preference. I am not racist.

I certainly hope we dont fall in love with 'a race' but with 'an individual'.

I have dated white guys and black guys, some of the white and black guys had as much in common with each other as white guys with other white guys or black guys with other black guys, because they were all Individuals, and none of them were an entire race.

If excluding an entire group on the basis of race is racist, which is one strand of prejudice, then by that definition we are all prejudiced in the dating process

In the screening process for a mate ,all of us exclude entire groups of people based on one thing or the other.

It might be an entire group of people above or under a certain weight .
... or all people above or under a certain height .
... or all people outside a certain income bracket.
...or all disabled people
... or all bi sexuals or transgenders.
... or all people who do not live in their country.
...Or all people who have small kids
...or all people outside of your religious group


The list goes on and on.

So maybe we are ALL prejudiced based on the number of groups we exclude in the dating process, and maybe the dating process itself is rooted in the practice of prejudice by virtue of the reality that no one is ethically or civically obligated to give every group a fair shot in the dating process.

Dating is a prejudiced and discriminatory process.

That's just the way it is

I can't figure out why people are bringing racism into dating...we date who we want, and it's not up for debate... Why does anyone else care who others are dating?

mwahhxxx your right honey your not left

What?

I don't support interracial relationships. They aren't very good for society.
