Disqualifying Someone Based on Their Race is Racism

I only give them funny looks because i actually feel sad for them.

I've heard this too...

The folk at Stormfront must be celebrating by burning some crosses...Soon all those non-whites will be bred out of existence!

i can't believe this thread got over a thousand post!

just because we talked about which races fit our personal preference?

but of course it spinned off a whole lot of other discussions

in the end i still say that people should be with whoever they want to be with. and who are we to judge another person's taste?

in this case i think it would do us all some good to just mind our own business and not be too concerned with whom we see our neighbors hold hands and walk down the street with.

or if our friends/family are vanilla and have a taste for chocolate, honey dipped (or whatever) partners -shouldn't we just want our friends/family to be happy? i know i do.

to all interacial couples: i support whatever makes you happy.

Taste the rainbow!

People can do whatever they want. I have friends in interracial relationships and marriages, but over 90% of them are hooked up with someone very demographically similar.

I'd be racist if I restricted my friends by racial or ethnic criteria. But I don't. My friends are all over the checkerboard in terms of ethnicity/race/religion. But, again, those are FRIENDS. My Persian, Arab and Japanese friends taught me all the dirty words in their languages.

I can't help if I'm only attracted to light-skinned brunettes with more refined/less ethnic facial features. It's always been that way. In America, that's a very large slice of the pie. When someone pointed out a "hot blonde" in SoCal, my reaction was "big deal," though I understand society deems them to be the "gold standard." They're WHITE, so then how is this racist? It's more a question of taste palette, and its range. That's why they have three kinds of salsa at Mexican restaurants...to accommodate patrons' different tastes.

All the indignant people on this thread tend to be either "non-white" or overly politically correct. When someone tells you that you should find everyone under the sun attractive, that's PC...as well as ridiculous and intrusive. Sorry.

French actress Sophie Marceau's look is a good one. "Bon chance" (French for "good luck"). I know what's reasonable and what isn't. LOL.
