Who says this? Do they need to check with you first? Unbelievable.

I went out last night for the first time in downtown and I definitely noticed a lot of cute girls( not too many pretty girls here) with in my opinion very average, basic even, black guys. It was almost like they got women because they were black not for being attractive or anything (I'm a female). So I don't think you'll have a problem.

'Check' with me? No.

I didn't appreciate the way it was promoted in Seattle's advertisements and by the powers that be. As if men of European descent are the only race who like Asian women.

That wasn't the only social engineering that was going on in Seattle from what I saw, but I don't want to take this thread off on my own personal tangents/hangups, so I'll leave it at that.

Because those people couldn't have made their own choices, it must have been some unseen social engineering.

I know that cultural or ethnic differences can really get to people. I had a work friend who was black, who told me of a relationship she had with a white guy. In the end, she broke it off. She told me she couldn't get past the race thing. She was as nice and open a person as you could ever meet.

I have met interracial couples who seemed happy. I think the thing that works for people is commonality. You get to know someone from work or something, or from a science fiction convention or school and their personality and views dovetail with yours. They make you smile. You find you can really talk to them. At that point, race and ethnic background probably won't matter much.

I agree. If I got along with someone and we had things in common, I could easily date any race, so as long as they weren't a descendant of Europe.

No descendent of Europe? Really? Then that kinda excludes a lot of peopke and lets ethnic and cuktural background be a deciding factor.

Namely West Europe, not referring to mixed people.

So would be hard to actually find dates with whites women there. Or are most of them close minded and are afraid to date black guys. And no I am not talking about the fat ones(no offense) just trying to be honest.

Thanks guys!
Yea, don't worry. It's almost illegal for a black man to date a black woman here. Which is why I'm leaving. You'll be in heaven here with the interracial dating culture.
