I dont think its racist at all. Its good to have a lot in common like same food, language, culture, music, movies, humor since you would never run out of things to talk about. Its a good foundation for any relationship. You dont have to explain small stuff. Even dating sites like eharmony matches you on 27 (or something like that) dimensions. You would be surprised how many 'asians' or 'latinos' living in usa will reject people who are settled in their country of origin. Most of them want someone of their own ethnicity who lives in the same country as themselves & have been exposed to the culture of that country. I think its more prevalent among people who migrated here as teenagers or adults rather than the kids who are born & brought up here & barely visited their country of origin. The cultural conditioning is difficult to erase.
When I was single and went out with friends, some guys we came across were into tall blondes (I'm a petite brunette). That's not insulting in the least. There are plenty of guys that feel their "type" is brunette.
When two races unite, many times one gets "watered" down. The question is, how important is it to maintain that strong tie to one's culture? Yes, people can introduce the two cultures/backgrounds but usually one will get watered down. (Same with religion.)

Aren't you half Asian? I always though 'hapas' had it good in the dating world. I doubt many women of any race would reject Brandon Lee, Keanu Reeves or Mike Shinoda.

Not directly rejected, but passed over on dating sites? I'm sure. Whatever, though, those who are interested will be more open-minded in general.
I don't reject anyone purely on the basis of race. Cultural things are different. I doubt I'd date a girl who spoke no English, of course, for obvious reasons.
Some just know it is easier to be with people similar to them. Myself on the other hand has worn the blacksheep role for a long time. We really do need to go back and see how younger generations don't see colors just people.

Haha! I don't think I've ever been rejected for being hapa! I had a friend growing up that said she couldn't be my friend anymore after she found out my father was Jewish - but that's about it.
If I only dated people with my ethnic background - I'd be in trouble! Then again - there seem to be a lot of hapa men on CD - but I don't think they are the same exact mix as me.
