Espanol is actually a Caucasian language. Spain is in Europe, and filled with white people. Although their culture is much different, they carry the olive skin tone such as French and Italians.

Correct -- Spanish (the language) is a Romance language, derived from Latin, as is modern French and Italian, as far as I am aware...

To be completely fair though, there are of course fair-complected Italians and French (not to mention Greek) ppl, as well. It's a myth that all Italians/French/Greek/other Southern Europeans are all darker- or olive-complected.

I do not understand such a thing as being attracted or not attracted to an entire race of people; it is simply a case of not using the resources of your mind and your experiences to make a decision. It is simply a lazy copout.
attraction isnt something you have to try at.....it just is...you ever think its you that is overthinking this?

Even though interracial relationships are much more common these days, many still frown at the concept. I would have no problem dating a black woman, but I'm only attracted to the ones that aren't that dark(i.e. Halle Berry, Melyssa Ford, Mariah Carey).

its quite silly isnt it? Do we say a person from Barbados is English just because that is the language they speak?

Nope.

If attraction just is, why do people spend energy talking about why they're not attracted to certain huge subsets of the human species? If attraction "just was," racial factors would be irrelevant. But they are not irrelevant to you folks who seem to be defending this, and, so, to me, that is not "just is." That is specifically eliminating people for superficial reasons. And that is why I say what I say.
