Racial Hangups?

[Marc]

Do they have a word for irony in Australia?

I'm sure this was said tongue in cheek... however I am sure dfiant is talking about the modern trend of certain ethnic groups arriving in certain countries ( Britain, Australia, USA especially) either legally or illegally and then attempting to force that country by way of PC agendas or violent protest to change to their (often) third world way of living/behaving, and then attempting to shout over and rubbish the complaints of the rightful and lawful citizens of said country.

Would I date any of these guys?

Not a snow balls chance!

I really don't understand how you don't think that's racist lol. In my opinion, it is to a degree. By not wanting to date anyone of another ethnicity makes me assume you think they're all the same. It's like you're making skin tone more than what it is. The love of your life or someone who could have everything you ever wanted in a man could be Black, Hispanic or Asian, but you'd never know because you wouldn't date them or even think about dating them based on the color of their skin. Not meaning to snap on you, but I'm just really tired of people saying "It's not racist to not be attracted to [insert race] guys/girls." I'm not angry, I just find it odd and confusing that people think like that.

As for the original question OP asked, no. There's no racial hang ups here. I love all different shapes, sizes and flavors lol.

And here lives the problem with modern day Western thinking.
The PC brigade are out in force, constantly labeling anybody that expresses a personal opinion/preference that maybe slightly negative towards 1 or other ethnic group.

Saying I am racist because I won't date certain ethnic peoples, is the same as calling me racist for not dating women.. Absurd.

It's not like I wake up every day and consciously tell myself "you will not be attracted to any other races today." I'm attracted to what I'm attracted, and I'm not attracted to what I'm not. I don't think any less of other races.

You are the type of person at which my post was aimed; just because you are attracted to anyone and everyone doesn't mean it's wrong for others to not feel the same way. You keep dating any and every shape, size, and flavor, and I will keep doing what I do. Doesn't make me racist, sexist, etc., just makes my preferences different from yours.

LOL

If that's what you think & believe, then okay. Have a nice day.

I don't understand this statement in the context of this conversation.

generally , i prefer white girls ~
but my girlfriend is japanese and we've been together for a while . so people saying that they prefer a certain race / ethnicity doesn't mean that they won't ever ever ever be able to fall for someone of a different race

I'm sure this was said tongue in cheek...

Then let me put you right on that. I do not joke about massacres and genocide.

Perhaps you shouldn't take thing's so wildly out of context?

[pellaz]

if you walk on a crowded downtown sidewalk, the actual genetic variance of the people next to you is greater than the difference in genetic makeup of a white man vs a black man.

How many people have racial hang ups? I honestly am not attracted to black guys at all, and I am black lol, is that weird?

It's not a racial hangup unless you're turned off by black guys because you think they're unpleasant to be around (as opposed to you simply prefer them as friends). Otherwise, it's just a preference, and I've met plenty who have those. Many white guys like Far East Asian girls, for example, and I've known one black guy who practically worships redheads above all and somehow seems to keep hooking up with brainy blondes for whatever reason (not that he limits himself) and I've also met two white women who preferred black (though in one case she deluded herself that she was black as well, and her racist parents kicking her out for dating a black guy and HIS racist parents doing the same to him for dating a white girl didn't convince her otherwise).

i've met many of those . hah ~
lots of them seem to think that me being asian means i will have absolutely no personality at all outside of just being an asian girl
