I just want to see what some of the views of race and dating are on these boards.
Please answer truthfully!! And if you don't feel like replying but just voting that's ok, I don't care. I just want to see your views are.
Thanks..............GL EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<<<<<<<<<<<<<< By race I mean: White/non-hispanic Hispanic Black/African Pacific Islander Asian Middle Eastern Indian/East Indian Other/Mix Origins
yeah sorry about that don't mix that up with heritage/cultural Identity/nationality/country of origin et cetera......again sorry for the confusion, but I mean "race" in name only.

I have had some dates with people from other races, but in most cases i find myself more attracted to people of the same race. White people in my case.

For the sake of preventing misinterpreation and confusion could you define what you mean by "race?" (Nationality? Practiced culture? Ethical backgroud? Skin color? etc)

If you mean by accual race? Meaning skin color.
No. I won't. No I am not racist. I am just not attracted to African-americans or Latinos. However I'm very attracted to Indians, Native americans are hot too. Asians are sexy, nuff said. But I think I will stick to use pale skin, white-folk

Race isn't that big an obstacle. In my opinion culture is more of a dividing issue, and it can be as divisive for dating a white person as much as dating an Asian. Culture can mean a lot of things, traditional customs or just the environment the person was raised in, but in the end if their values are too different from mine it would be almost too hard to make that relationship work. That is why I tend to avoid those situations and stick to people with more compatible customs.

I find nothing wrong with it at all. Every person in this world is a shade of brown, I don't care how light you are, regardless you're brown, when you tan in the summer, you don't tan white, you tan browner ^^.
I feel that people are people regardless of their color and of their race. I mean color has nothing to do with race actually, some Asians are lighter complexed than Caucasians, and some Indians((India)) are darker than Africans. Regardless I feel color has nothing to do with race. But if it's color that the question is about than the top reason.
I'm Native American And Caucasian, and my boyfriend is African American And Caucasian, crazy mix, but I feel nothing is wrong with it, alas my grandmother does tho ((Since she lived in a different time period)) she wants me to find someone Native American((Mostly)) or Caucasian, so regardless that's her opinion not mine.
I feel there is nothing wrong with dating someone of a different color, race, religion, ect. People are people, and if color, looks, race, religion, ect is all we look at in a person, and not on the inside ((Yes we all have blue blood on the inside and red on the out, then we are some shallow folk.

Religion, politics and customs or traditions are far more important to consider when picking a date. (and always check the parents, when you buy a calf, look at the cow! Not just picking girls, but boys as well)
But, depending on where you live, dating "mixed race" can get you into tricky situations.

I'm undecided. I liked a latino for a while, but she disliked me because of my 'organization' need. So... I could see it happen, but PROBABLY not. I'm not against it though. Go for it, by all means.

Your absolutely right but I more pink that brown.lol But anyway your very right. People are people race doesn't change that. Religion, politics and customs or traditions are far more important to consider when picking a date. (and always check the parents, when you buy a calf, look at the cow! Not just picking girls, but boys as well) But, depending on where you live, dating "mixed race" can get you into tricky situations. Again praise my forum sisters.lol I think the reason we still divided by the whole race card is because of the culture, traditions,religions, and mannerisms that divide us not our skin color. It doesn't help that a lot of people tend to get clicky with there friend choices. As for me personally I don't mind dating out side of my race/ethnicity at all. My last girlfriend was black and that alone never created any problems but I'll be the first to admit that culture and mannerisms made it more difficult. As for dating out side my race again I'm not actively seeking one person because I find white women very hot and I don't find darker girls to be anymore exotic. I do think a lot people who have never dated out side of there race find other people more exotic and attractive because there different from the norm.

My race is mixed several generations back anyway and I've dated people of different racial mixes, religions and genders so I don't see it as an issue for me.

If I want to marry/date someone then ok......to me it doesn't matter if your white or black,etc. when i like someone that isnt light skinned or hispanic, some of my friends think I'm crazy or something. But i really don't care about people's skin color!
I just care about their personality!!

I have dated some African Americans, I do not think that race is that big of a deal, if you are attracted to them you are attracted to them. In fact I am not bothered by it at all, my family used to be 100% Chinese, now we are only 30% Chinese, besides my Aunt is African American and my Uncle is white, and not one of my family members has a fit about them being together. So ya, basicly I have no problem with dating out of your race or religion. If you truly love them, you should be with them no matter what.
