One of the foundations to a good relationship is mutual understanding & respect. And generally it works much easier if two people have similar backgrounds as they are more likely to have common value systems/ cultures, and this is not to say that it cannot happen between people from different race groups. It depends on their upbringing and intellect. But history has shown that race groups struggle to live together so one could individualize it. Having different nations in the world in itself can be construed as being racist because it encourages a specific identity. So generally I think you have an advantage of making a relationship work with "birds of a feather", but its obviously no guarantee. I would encourage you however, to keep an open mind and to learn & understand as many cultures/ behaviours as possible as that can only make you a better person and add to your dimension of knowing people and building sound & amicable relationships. And who knows, it may increase your chances of finding a great partner.
its definitely not racist. if u talked to some older folks down south where they used to have slaves, then u know racist, but hey ur attracted to whateva ur just attracted to. I would say u just prefer a certain race over others just due to chemistry.
its a preference, not being racist i know some might think that based on what race they are from and how they look at it, but its not being racist. Now if you were to say i don't date these guys because they are white, then you might be leaning a little toward racist. These days its all about poltics and saying the right thing, so depending on who you are talking to, it can go either way, but the truth is, its a preference, pure and simple
I'd prefer to date an average East Asian girl over other ethnicities because they have physical features I like in a girlfriend. Yeah, try and find me a black/indian girl that has a pale complexion, skinny, and long wavy orange hair, that dresses like a fob. I don't see what's so wrong with picking what I want in a girlfriend. That $hit affects my personal life. If it was something else such as a job hiring, or something that affects other people, sure, I'd be expected to be persecuted for that. I wouldn't look twice at an Asian girl that's fat and bland, so what's wrong with not looking twice at a black/white/brown girl that's fat and bland? People like what they like. People are turned on by different things. Would someone be called biased because they prefer not to date someone who is massively overweight or underweight? Seriously, racism may be obvious in some instances, but people have no right to fault someone because they go after what they're attracted to. If your friend thinks it's a matter of race then she has her own issues to deal with. She's obviously ugly and insecure and has been shunned by someone of a different ethnicity in the past, and the only thing she can come up with is that people who prefer dating a certain race exclusively are racist. I laugh at her.
like many of those who have said so already, i don't think it's racist. it's a matter of preference, not prejudice. personally i'd date Asians or white people, though. =\
racist for dating another race? well how do u define race then...we r all humans after all..just on different places on earth with different culture
well not racist is depend on ur own see if which race u actually attracted to,like me i dun mind if she is chinese or japanese or korean althought i'm chinese,kekekeke much prefer cute lil asian gal...with fair or lil tanned skin...
It's not racist it's just who you feel attracted to. It is not like people can control who they like. If you feel more attracted to one race maybe it's just that you havn't found one person who you really like. My opinion anyway
i don't think it's racist... ppl date within their own race coz they share the same culture and can communicate better... u can't force urself to date someone u don't have feelings for just to b not "racist"...
According to dictionary.com racist - noun - 1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others. 2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination. 3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races. This is exactly what I had in mind.. I am in the category of only dating Chinese people but my reason for doing so is not because I look down on other races. It is simply my preference and what I am comfortable with (because we share the same culture, language, similar beliefs, etc)
i dont think it racist to date inside of your own race ... it really depend on what kind of race u are attracted to.. as for me i m more attracted to asian..
def not racist to have a preference.. a lot of it has to do with the culture/time/society you're raised in. for instance, in asian cultures most older generations valued light skin, but american culture values tan skin.. its all relative..
