Default Interracial Relationships?

So...

I was just wondering, and reading, about the points of dating someone of a different ethnicity.

Personally, I don't mind. Each race has it's yummy people and ugly people. I'd probably never date a fellow Asian. Though.

But what about you?

Do you stick to a single flavor? Avoid another?

well, i'm mixed race and it's often hard to tell what race i am, so if someone only dates a certain race they'll probably over look me. but in general, i'm willing to date any race. the only i've never dated would be an asian, but i think asians are super yummy, so that one isn't a problem.

however, i will admit that i'm slightly put off by black people, which is entirely unfair of me since i'm half black, but for me, you have to prove that you're "cultured" if you're black. i know it sounds horrible. but i have gang bangers for cousins so if you're anything like them, you're out. i don't like the flashy, big and bold, "i'm from the ghetto, bby!" thing. but that's just me opinion.

well you did not spell racist right and I dont think its the right word to describe what you stated. Just because you are sexually not into another race does not mean you are racist. Just like if you are gay and not into women and that does not make you racist. A racist is if you discriminate against people or an hatred or dislike regarding their skin colour or ethnicity and ignore their content of characteristics within a person and it does not include sexual preference. A much better approach for this question would be: do you prefer dating people of your own race, or would you date someone of another race.

YEAH! At first I admit I never would've date a black guy in middle school or my freshmen year, but now, after meeting black people who doesn't find the need to say "Son!" while talking to me, I'd rethink it if someone ever asked me out.

Oops. You're right I spelt it wrong; was just typing by whatever looked closer. As for the word choice, the alliteration seemed catchier and shorter. But it is in some cases appropriate. Vegas has it's it's fill of real-world racists where some people really would never give a certain person the time of day, let alone date them. The word is utilized more often, and loses some, if not a lot, of it's impact around here.

race is of no consequence to me. so long as i think ur hot, u got a shot. but i have to say, the darker the skin the better. i love me darker white and asian guys, hispanics and brown black guys. there is a limit to how dark however... but i can make exceptions for lighter skinned fellows as well. in the end, its all about personality and hottness

I'm color blind (not literally) but I do tend to be more attracted to the lighter skinned races, especially those that look good with long straight hair.

I've dated mainly caucasians, but I've been attracted to women of all races and would be willing to date someone of any race if there was chemistry.

I've said this before, but I've crushed on a pale ivory white-skinned girl and a fairly dark black girl. Both in around the same time period. And several colors in between. So doesn't really matter to me.

LoL. I wouldn't but I know other people who are into Asians. There's the whole Potato to Rice Queens division when it comes to Asians.

East Coast Asians are into white people (Potato), West Coast Asians are more open to dating other Asians (Rice).

I think I'm more of a Potato Queen even if Vegas is on the West Coast.

omg i loved that comment

I'm not necessarily making choices on race when it comes to dating, but where I live, the majority of blacks are "ghetto" or act it, even if they live in the affluent neighborhoods. So it's more of a clique or stereotype that changes it for me. If you act ghetto, hot or not, I'm not going to want to be around you. But I've been attracted to asians, whites, latinos, blacks, and mixed. (I'm also mixed)

I've only had a couple boyfriends, and they've both been my race. I have plenty of friends of other races, and never had an issue, so I'm assuming it'd never be a factor.

I think the race of the person/people I ever date will depend on the diversity of where I live.
