So for instance...

You think that when someone dates another person they're dating a "race" and not an "individual".

You can't date a "race".

If I date a Japanese person, I'm not dating all Japanese people, I'm dating one individual of Japanese ethnicity.

And in case you didn't know, "hybrids" are always genetically stronger than "purebreds".

If someone has a preference to only date a "specific" ethnicity that's their business, I think they're limiting their dating pool.

I appreciate honesty too but why the aversion to interracial couples? Since I have no real issues with it, I naturally can only imagine nefarious reasons to object to it. Care to enlighten me? Just saw a response from you in Post #82. It sounds like there's more to your sentiment than I might have imagined but still...using "abolish" is strong language that can lead to assumptions...

I don't have any kind of aversion, I have aversion to dating in general, because I encountered a lot of shallow people in my life, and one of the woman I dated, and showered love and respect on, dumped me because one of her friends told her that dating me isn't cool since they had a checklist on what races they could and couldn't, and she dumped me because she wanted to appear cool to her friends, so that's what I am against.

Immature and childish.

Doesn't mean you should be against people dating whoever they want to date.

The bad experience that you had proves how narrow minded the person you dated is that they could be easily influenced by their friends. Definitely not an adult trait.

Which directly reflects on how stupid racism is.

People should date who they want without being influenced by what friends, or family tell them they should do. You shouldn't live for your friends or family, why should you?

It's nice to blend your family with your partner's but if that's not possible, you build a family of your own.

Yeah true, that's the reason I don't like dating or looking around for any women anymore, when I see anyone, I just remember that ex and don't want to go through that idiotic situation ever again.

Your original post that prompted my response was "If you ask me, interracial relationships themselves should be abolished." You can understand from that comment, and the subject of this thread, why someone might think you have major issues, specifically with the interracial aspect of dating. Based on the above comment, it seems your issue is with all dating, not the interracial aspect of it. I hope you work out those aversions.
