I don't mean to make this a divisive or combative thread. But I live in a large, diverse city and was recently told by a woman, "You are super sweet but I only date Hispanic men." She is Hispanic herself.

Please note that I am not trying to single out Hispanics as I know full well there are plenty of white (non-hispanics) that will not date anyone except another white person. This was more prevalent in past decades but it still persists....

And I get that everyone has their tastes and preferences.

For the record, I am a white (non-hispanic) guy and I have dated all kinds of ladies (white, black, asian, latina, etc). I might have preferences (dark brunettes of any race) but I NEVER rule out a person based on their race or ethnicity (or hair color for that matter).

Are people with strict racial/ethnic or even religious based rules for dating close minded and not worth it anyway?

I'm an Asian female, so no. But I've certainly rejected others based on their race/ethnicity. I know some people will hate me for that, but there are some groups I have nothing in common with. If anything, our relationship would hurt them more.

FYI: not every guy is into Asian women.

That is true, I've known a lot of guys who aren't into them. I sure am, however. Then again, I'm half-Asian myself. On that note, I've never been rejected because of my race, that I know of. If that was the reason they weren't honest about it.

I don't hate you for it. But I do feel sorry for you for being so closed minded.....

I agree and now I am going to have to make a special trip to buy fresh popcorn when this one really gets rollings.

Yes, long ago by an ex gf's mother who was not happy my father was not white. She was concerned that if she wound up with grandkids they would have darker skin. Glad I did not stay involved with that family for long.
