mixed race dating...

In a lot of places, white girls are considered more beautiful than black girls.

Therefore, Black and White guys date them.

Black girls aren't always seen as beautiful by white men, not necessarily because of racism, just because of personal preference.

Black men do prefer black women, mostly, though in Undercover Brother, they seem to like white girls even more.

I agree that everyone is equal, and I have no idea why this happens to be the case.

 

Because I’m referring to people who have learned and choose to continue to hate and/or discriminate against people of a certain color. I’m not talking about someone who doesn’t want to date an "individual" person because they don’t find them attractive.

You can’t really help what you’re attracted to. I get that everyone is not attracted to everyone. Some people have a thing for dark or light skin, or a certain color hair, eyes, etc. But when someone makes a broad sweeping statement about the attractiveness of an entire group of people it throws up a red flag with me.

For you to say there’s not a single black (or fill in any other ethnicity) person on the planet that you would find attractive is a pretty bold statement to make. And to say such a thing gives off a strong racial undertone.

It’s certainly respectable for someone to say, “I would have no problem dating this color person, I just haven’t had the opportunity to meet one that I found attractive.” But go back and re-read what you just wrote. It comes off as if you’re slandering an entire group of people. Not to mention it’s a rather ignorant statement to make. There are certain groups of people that I don’t particularly find myself attracted to either, they (as a group overall) tend not to possess many of the physical traits that I’m attracted to, but that doesn’t mean there’s not a single girl in the world from that group that I wouldn’t find attractive. And I’d never make such an ignorant statement to suggest such a thing.

 

There may also be societal influence involved there as well. And as I was telling Sig, there's nothing wrong with not being attracted to certain individuals. But to say you're not attracted to anyone from an antire ethnic group is leads me to believe there's a lot more societal influence at play than personal preference.

I've seen some absolutely stunning black girls. And I'm willing to bet most of those white guys that say they're not attracted to any black girls would certainly bang those given the opportunity.

 

I completely agree.

 

I work with a dark skinned young (nearly 30 yrs old) woman & she's very attractive & has a fantastic figure & breasts that suit her body proportions nicely.
Her skin colour makes no difference & she has beautiful eyes that makes her look even more sexier. We sometimes flirt with each other just for fun & talk sex type topics as well & I like her a lot more than she realises to.

 

From Karen J :

Class differences often come down to behavioral differences, if you look more closely and really think about it. A friend of mine in college grew up in a poor family, but everyone treated her as middle class. Everything about her speech, mannerisms, clothing, and attitude seemed right for middle class or upper-middle class, so people made assumptions about her family. I didn't know the truth until I had known her for over a year.

To me, this seems like a big public school success story. This is the way it's supposed to work. If you can hang with people who are a step up from your upbringing (or two steps), you should get your shot at moving up.

From Dark Sugar:

People who have a problem with mixed couples are useless to society and the future. They have no place in the world and should never speak.

So much for being able to state one's opinion and disagree with the group.

I don't think I've ever seen myself agreeing with xxaru but on this I agree completely.

As for Karen_J. Wherever you live, I think is an exception to the rule. I live in the South and I have for most of my life. I've been to black churches(churches that were predominantly black) and there were people of all races who were members. I've also been to many multicultural churches in the South, it's not uncommon. Now I am not saying there isn't segregation in the South, but there's still always people who don't go along with that. Any predominantly black or white club, church, neighborhood, school, whatever, there have been many exceptions.

As for black families and females(I'm one). Well first of all, I don't think there is a typical black american family structure and I say that because I have two sides to my family. They are vastly different. In one side of my family interracial relationships are very common, on the other side it's not as common, but it definitely has happened and has been accepted, maybe not enthusiastically, but no one is mean to people in front of their faces or tries to break up relationships because they're not with someone from the same race.

On both sides of my family black women have dated or married white men. I really don't think "black culture" exists at all. I am super tired of people thinking that the black people they see on TV or hear on the radio in any way represents normal everyday black people. Sure there are some normal black people who look up to and emulate that crap, but so do people of other races.

I don't know a damn thing about this supposed "black culture" and I don't want to be discriminated against or even thought of as a novelty because I have some special knowledge about the weirdness that is a certain sub-sect of pop culture.

Now, sometimes, in some places, particularly two types of settings: 1. The poor South and 2. The Upperclass White neighborhoods anywhere in America (people who've never really known a black person personally) a black person is thought of as "white" if they don't know about or reflect the stereotypes of this supposed black culture that doesn't exist. This needs to stop. Expand your horizons and stop putting people into boxes. Maybe then you get to see someone for who they are rather than the expectations you have of them based on the color of their skin or where they come from.

Black guys are supposedly on average bigger...

Must be genetic.

To be fair though I think most white girls seem to like white guys.

And to be even more fair... I think it's best to be colourblind!
