Exactly.

Being attracted to certain physical features that are more likely found in a certain race is not racist. It's having preferences. Just like if someone preferred a certain weight, that's not discrimination, that's a preference. People won't want to be with someone they don't find attractive. That's just how it is.

But being a dick to people because they don't look like you(not the same race as you...) is racism.

I've seen a lot of them, though(not all IRL, obv)... the looks vary, but they tend to be very attractive.



I'm really considering this.



Funny thing is, he isn't really that attractive to me. XD



Micronesians are hot too, I just haven't seen enough of them.
Probably because his dad is black........

That's how it was for me. Didn't hurt that I look really local - and went out of my way to cultivate that (hairstyle, dress, language, etc.) It got to the point that people would walk up to me speaking pidgin, looking for help in a store, asking for directions, etc.

A little over the top lovespolynesians. I'm gonna change my name to "Lovesmixed" because that is what most people are, even though humans are clanish and like to associate them selves with specific groups.

sigh.......no. Only certain idiots hate all members of a race simply because they're of a certain race.



Move to Hawaii, California, Las Vegas, Oregon, Washington state, even Alaska. Lots of Polynesians in all these places. Or, on the East Coast or the South, live near a military base, as there are lots of single Polynesian men in the military. Or even join up yourself.
You must be mixed bacause Poynesians/Samoans definitely don't look black. You think Troy Polamalu looks black?

Nah, a person can be 100% one race... I've taken an ancestry test and I'm fully white. However, it doesn't matter what race someone is, we're all human, but that don't make me attracted to every human.

"we're all human" We are all decendants of people from Africa so we are all African.

"but that don't make me attracted to every human" Thats for sure. I kind of like mixed myself. Best features from multiple cultures

Yes, and in the long run, the descendants of those Africans are bacteria... so we're all bacteria. Really, not a good comparison. I'm not African. Do I have a problem with Africans? Nay.

I'm with you on the Polynesian men thing. I spent some time in Tonga for work and while there, met a Fijian man who was attending a training session I was co-leading. I wasn't exactly supposed to be cavorting with the people we were training, however, the temptation was too great. I was doing fine until he climbed over other people's balconies to get to mine late at night. There was a knock on the balcony door and I'll leave the rest to your imagination. It was memorable .

This was many years ago, btw.
