So that could explain why people look at me like I'm some odd specimen. Even though, I still have people avoiding me as if I'm going to rob them or something. But whatever, to each their own.

You can't win for losing, especially here in Miami.

This is hoopla. Come to Orlando and see for yourself.

First of all your stories are anecdotal. Second of all, Colombia has a high black population. Mexico does not.

Also your observation of Hispanic women do not bear out statistically. There have been studies done on the dating preferences of the races and ethnicities in regards to online dating. Basically all women except Black women have a strong preference for white men.


Frankly the fact that you may not see so many DR/PR women with white men may simply be that white men do not view these women as marriage material. After all in the case of Dominican women they have a significant degree of African ancestry and we know white men are least likely to marry black women. It doesn't necessarily mean that DR/PR women don't desire white men.

Interesting. So women have no agency. A lack of white mates isn't because she finds them unattractive- it is because white men don't want them.

I think it is pretty much mutual. It is a bit like the chicken or the egg.

Your theory basically means there is something inherently attractive about white males and a low dating/marrying rate with them is a sign of not being "marriage material"

It's quite simple.

Minorities don't have power so they cannot be racist is the general cop-out. It's a politically correct backlash to the hardcore white-dominate racism of years past and the perception of persistent underlying racism in society today. (Which has some merit.)

This is one of the reasons you see the hate crime statistics and minority racial groups have a disproportionate volume of racial, orientation bias crime etc.

So, in some ways it might just be that since it's more socially acceptable....minorities are more VISIBLE in their racism while whites have been educated to be more racially sensitive (at least publically.)

Why do hispanics and cubans dislike black people ?


They do?? Not the ones I know. Hispanics and cubans are black or mixed with black so how can they dislike anyone.

The USA as a whole always had a problem accepting black people.

In most countries darker = bad. Sad but true.

The media influences a lot of immigrants and we all know the media shows/tells what they want.

Latin American countries have this weird racial system in place with whites on top and blacks on the bottom and immigrants from these countries bring those viewpoints with them into the US. Usually when White Americans are racist, it's not to due to skin color per se but cultural attributes/stereotypes.
