To be fair, this entire thread applies much moreso to men than it does to women. Guys tend not to discriminate on the basis of race as long as the chick is attractive. However, women tend to discriminate on the basis of race; probably because most women view things in the long term instead of the short term and disqualify anyone they believe they wouldn't or couldn't have a long term relationship. On the other hand, guys just go after any chick they find attractive and hope they can get some sex out of them.

However, as I said previously, no one really discriminates (male or female) against truly good looking people.

This is what I'm been trying to say all along. Women are LESS open to IR dating, ALTHOUGH there are exceptions.

I know Asian women who exclusively date white men largely because of their 'status'. The media makes them the 'alpha males'. To those who say 'it's just a harmless preference', they need to read up on cultural psychology.

Totally agree, also it's been observed that while a 5/10 of a certain race(not that I believe in those stupid ratings) gets a nod purely based on his race, a 10/10 of another less desirable race(as made out by the media or influenced by societal stereotypes) has to compete much harder to have the same rate of success. If that's not discrimination nothing is, not that I am complaining as there's no truly non-discriminating society anywhere in this world.

As for Indian women...not many good looking ones in LA, because most of them are from South India, and South Indians do nothing for me.
Lol. So Southern Indian women are the undesirable ones now, surprising since a lot of women in Bollywood now are from Southern India(not South India as it's not a separate nationality like South Korea/North Korea).

Also, I don't think a lot of Southern Indian women really care about going out with a pretentious wannabe just because he happens to have a British accent, unlike the White women that gave you a "pass"

Really? My family always said NZ is smaller and they don't have many Asians. My dad's friend who lives there has a daughter who married a white guy, and I was surprised all of her friends are white. Their neighbors and coworkers all did the same thing, and online whenever they mention an Asian over there it's always some white in a relationship with them.

Yeah, Australia's largest cities are that way. But not the rural areas. I know this because I had friends from Australia too and they said there are a lot of people from China over there. Online, their number of Asians rivals ours! The schools were 95% Chinese! They told me most of them do still marry Asians but there is always the exception of a white-Asian couple or white-Middle Eastern or whatever.

You are wrong, see my prior post and link. Hispanics and Asians date out (or at least marry out) more than other races, whites the least. Empirical census data shows this to be true.

Mainly in Auckland, but Dunedin has a sizeable population because of the University of Otago. But sure, it's pretty common for them to marry or be in a relationship with a white person too, but to say that they all do is very inaccurate.

Yeah lots of people from China coming here, but a school that was 95% Chinese must be some sort of international school for Chinese people. Many parts of Sydney and Melbourne are over 60% born overseas. Go to the city centre and it's mostly foreigners.
