Sure.

Let's look at the definition again.

a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
The second word in the definition is one of the key words.

i like white woman that date black guys though. mainly because it pisses off the insecure white males who whine, thinking they could actually land someone like doutzen kroes who is with a black man.


someone like this would be my dream girl
"white women and black women do nothing for me."

Kind of cutting down on your chances of finding someone aren't you? Oh well, better for those of us that do prefer those two groups.

"white males who whine"
Oh no, White women are dating Black men. Say it ain't so I don't think theres many people who really care these days.

My wife and I attended the same grade school (although I'm 4 years older). Lived in the same neighborhood. Practiced the same religion. Similar family situations. Still had some issues.

Marriage is hard enough without including other issues.

I agree but some things that are issues for some aren't necessarily issues for others. For example, if you already come from a mixed family, dating outside of so-called race may not be an issue at all. For someone else, it might be huge.

In my experience, religious differences can be challenging for my husband and me. My parents who are of different so-called races (predominantly speaking) didn't have racial issues with that at all and also share the same religious beliefs.

It just depends...

Racism is one of several possible reasons for refusing to date outside one's race.

I would say that dating is a very personal aspect of someone's life. I think a majority of posters on CD would take great offence of having someone else needle them for dating someone based on their skin color. Most people tend to be racists to begin with; it's rare to find someone who truely doesn't have bias views of racial groups, positive or negative. My own opinion is that racism is a right of all peoples but forcing it on others isn's a smart idea!

Yes, it is racist, and I see nothing wrong with that. There are differences between ethnic groups and races. You're just acknowledging it in your dating preferences. If you weren't racist, you would be open to dating anyone from any ethnic background.

Nope, doesn't make you racist at all. It's quite natural and I think even a few card-carrying Libs privately have them but they manage to subtly disguise this by loudly advocating and celebrating IR dating for others.

Oh, and I find it extremely limiting. But hey, some people are deathly afraid of change, stepping outside their comfort zone. I find that unattractive.
This is a mighty stupid comment. What's so difficult to understand that you cannot FORCE a person to be attracted to or have that sort of intimate relationship with someone else? If they're not, for whatever reason, then it has to be respected.
