Whether I'm colorblind or not is not important. But I can say that a lot of people are racially aware due to what they were taught in school, at home, or what they seen on TV.

I am not social on any day of the week. But people do act like it's a big deal when it's a Friday or Saturday like it's something special. "What are you doing this weekend!" "You don't have plans for Friday!" etc. I don't get it.

What is your race?

Sure, there are people who are racist on dating certain races but is there a law for this like for employers?

I think racism is when a person, or a group of persons, doesn't believe a person belonging to a "different" group, however defined, is not entitled to the same standard of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that the "base group" has. Didn't bother to look it up in a dictionary, but that's what I think it is. The fundamental example would be pre-1964 segregated seating on public transportation in the South.

Let's get this back to "attraction" and "type" in a hurry. "Earthy" is a "type" and that thread is still open, at least for now.

I find white men attractive less frequently.
What is your race? In Bay Area, you pretty much are going to find plenty of diversity.

Because I like ATTRACTIVE men.

Why should I get with someone who I'm not physically attracted to and be repulsed by his touch and the mere sight of him?

If you're a fat, disgusting slob, why would I give you the time of day?

If you're a socially awkward dweeb, why would I date you?

If you're an unemployed bum with no money, why would I date you (regardless of how good looking you are)?

I'm not understanding your question?

You simply are more attracted to guys who aren't white.

No need to jump on the race bandwagon and scream racism. I, unfortunately think far to many people get upset.

Who gives a f.... someone prefers whites over another race or whatever it happens to be, people are attracted to whatever they are attracted to.

I don't like white and Hispanic women because it is somehow 'better' or whatever.. I just like what I like.... end of story.

I see beautiful non white women all of the time.. I just prefer a certain type.

If that makes me racist... then we need to redefine what racism is......

But you do find women attractive regardless of race right and would date them?
You prefer to date someone your own because of more similarities?
