I am not trying to create a controversial post but I've enjoyed my interactions with men from other ethnic background a lot more than my own. Now I think I am not attracted to my own. I almost feel disgusted around men of my own ethnicity. Is that crazy or what?

Well I'm not attracted (entirely) to girls of my own ethnicity. That doesn't mean I dislike them, but growing up in a culture entirely different from my parents, it's much harder for me to get along with girls of my own ethnicity if I were to have a relationship with them. It's not what I'm used to since I've grown up in the US.

Being friends with them is an entirely different story.

There is nothing wrong with being attracted to a different ethnic group, but to be disgusted by your own is really sad.

Do you even intend to have children? Would you be disgusted by your own son?

Right, but I don't think it's any worse than feeling disgusted around men of a different ethnicity.

But that isn't the topic at hand.

Just because you belong to a certain ethnicity doesn't mean you have to be attracted to it.

No big deal. There's millions of people who aren't attracted to people of their own ethnicity. It's also your right to feel "almost disgusted" by whatever man you wish. It's your life, your brain and your choices. Date whatever race stimulates you and avoid those to whom you're not attracted. I don't see what the problem is?

To me it can be a sort of red flag if you don't like your own ethnicity. It depends on the why. It is totally OK to be attracted to an interested in other people. It reeks of self-hate if you are disgusted by, hate, or stereotype potential partners or your own ethnicity.

Personally, I am attracted to a lot of other ethnicity, I have a look I go for than can cross into any group, but it isn't an exclusionary preference.
