Do you gravitate toward people in your own ethnic group, or do you gravitate towards those people whom you're attracted to? For some, it doesn't matter what ethnicity a person is, as long as they're attracted to them and like them in general. For others, it does matter; either because of religious reasons or just because of their own preference.
I'll admit that I never had the desire to date guys within my own ethnicity (Hispanic) because I didn't like the majority of the guys who were Latin back when I was in my 20s, 30s to present. Not saying that there aren't any Hispanic men who are good men with a decent character and a good heart! Because I know they're out there. But, I just wasn't....attracted to them. I always gravitated toward Caucasian men and still do (as is evidenced by my sweetie!).
So, what's your opinion on this? There's no right or wrong answer here. Are you attracted to a person because of their physicality and their personality first, or are you attracted to a certain ethnic group (even if it's not your own) before their physical and/or personality traits?

As a white male i can honestly say i'm attracted to people outside of my own race.
I enjoy dating Hispanic females, black females (sometimes), Asian, and middle-eastern females. I enjoy diversity and all the different kinds of people in the world and have gotten to know so many beautiful non-white women that I could never simply just settle for someone the exact same race as me,....there's too much variety out there. So much to see and do
Yes, I gravitate toward people of my own ethnic group. I find that communication takes a lot less work. There's an implicit understanding, at times, with that group being Italian. I also like to be around Spaniards and Greeks for the very same reasons, making me a veritable "basketcase" (something I learned yesterday). Yes, I have dated primarily within these ethnicities - add Middle Eastern Catholic, French, and Irish to the list while you're at it. It's largely about personal style, with Irish being the outlier on the list. If it works, don't fix it.
I'd also like to add that the environment one grows up in tends to shape what people are attracted to. So, this question will undoubtedly be answered according to wherever the person being asked grew up, IMO.

I'm Italian and many memebers in my family have married irish women for those same types of reason. Being Catholic and all...not to mention they all have great looking kids. Brown hair and freckles? Adorable.
