I was just making an analogy. There's many black women I'm attracted to and I am attracted to women of all races.
Maybe Black women are tired of always being "used" in these scenarios.

I know people who are physically white and grew up in Black culture and identify themselves as Black. They usually say something like "I'm Black on the inside" but the point of being acculturated gets across. And I'm not talking about white people trying to feel cool by acting out stereotypes, I mean people who were legitimately raised with Black culture.

I hope the black community accepts them too. Reason being is that I was partially raised in Asian family and am white..so I grew up acultured Chinese. Not all Asians could grasp it

Exactly...

I was raised in NJ in mostly white neighborhoods and the Asian gals dug white guys.

When I lived in CA, I knew a lot of Asians who lived in black neighborhoods. They dug black guys.

I'm pretty sure if a pretty blonde gal was raised in Japan with her consulate parents, she'd like Asian dudes.

Attraction is all familiarity and media driven.

Seriously. It is...

It's really all the same thing. Not liking one whole group just because of a certain uncontrollable physical attribute.
Your analogy is 100% accurate. The difference between not liking Black women, Asian women (any race) and not liking short men is that one will get you called racist, the other will get you a high five, stamp of approval and probably a stupid speech about evolution. There is no difference, you're not attracted to a single attribute (in that case race or culture vs height).

Be attracted to whatever you want. Someone could give you a thousand speeches as to why your preferences are "wrong" but at the end of the day, the speeches don't do a dang thing. My preferences will remain the same. It's what turns me on vs what turns me off. A short man could turn you off, a certain race/ethnicity could turn me off. Simple as that.

THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONLY FINDING MEN OF CERTAIN HEIGHTS ATTRACTIVE AND ONLY FINDING WOMEN OF CERTAIN SHADES ATTRACTIVE

My body, my mind, my turn-ons. That's how it works. You can't force me to date someone I don't find attractive.

If you're talking about Obama, yes he's married to a black women. But she is NOT attractive.

No they don't; they don't care about coming across as racist or not. They also don't care about calling every single woman in said group that is not light skinned or white 'ugly.' They will name 2 or 3 very light skinned black women or half white ones and throw in there how the 'rest are ugly' or 'not attracted to them' or 'don't like the other ones' facial features,' etc. Either way one approach is direct and the other one is covert. I still ended up getting the message.
