Look, buddy, please understand once and for all that until our dear government starts telling us even whom to share our beds with we'd be sharing them with whomever we please! The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission does not hold a candle by my bed so far.

Well, on the job front, I would be advocating for equal employment opportunities, but on the dating front (the relationship arena) I would not even want to date someone who would screen me out just because I am Black. I could see a romantic relationship going from bad to worse if the guy contacted me because he thought he "should" give a person of color a chance. Please, please, please do not do me any favors. Either you want to be with me or you don't. It is a shame that racism is still alive and well in these times. But honesty is still the best policy, imo.

As an Asian woman, I would never date a man if I thought that he was asking me out because he was wondering what it would be like to f*ck a Chinese woman. And I have also refused to date any non-Asian man that I thought had a fetish for Asian women or Asian culture. Eww gross, icky.

So this is what they're learning at Princeton, nice waste of a $40K per year tuition. From my limited online dating site experience, it was black women who were usually most selective and specific about not wanting to date anyone outside of their race. I love how some people can't limit their agenda's to government, religion, and education, now they have to make an attempt at micro-managing dating.


Not sure who that person was who wrote the article and stats on dating, but calling people racist because they aren't interested in dating another race is typical of the world today. Someone doesn't like something or didn't get the desired result of their wishes and/or efforts and immediately they pull the race card.

Silly study. You could probably find similar kinds of results with hair color and religion. People often tend to prefer marriage partners of similar background and even appearance.

What would be interesting is to compare responses to white men who say they earn annually $20,000 with black men who earn $100,000+ and see how much race alone is a factor.

That would be interesting.
