Do you date outside of your race?

[Frokane]

when I say race I mean Ethnic race, I dont want to hear about how youre one-quarter Irish and you dated someone from sweden.

and IN before any snarky 'human race' jokes about how youve slept with your hamster.

EDIT: and to answer my own question, I am mixed race so I ave no choice but to date outside my race.

 

[lRookiel]

I don't date at all...

Obligatory

 

[Baron von Blitztank]

No but then again I've only dated one person. For about a year now. Plus I live in Scotland, which is one of the whitest places in the UK.

 

[Wraith]

I've dated black girls, white girls, hispanic girls and mixed. I am currently dating a half-black, half-white girl.

So yeas, I do date outside my race.

 

[Quaxar]

I just wanna say every time I read the word "race" in an anthropological context in a post-1960s text I die a little inside.

As someone who hasn't been on any kind of date since Secondary and doesn't intend to that is pretty much all from me.

 

[Lionsfan]

I don't really date all that often, but I've slept with non-white girls

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

My girlfriend happens to be Hispanic, so yes.

 

[Hieronymusgoa]

I do date outside of my "race", yes, but I have to admit that these dates then are mostly "better" looking than a caucasian in direct comparison. Mostly it's caucasians for me I didn't choose that preference.

That is therefore actually a quite common discussion between gay people (like my friends and me) because some say you're racist if you completely exclude certain ethnicities from your "beuteraster" ("typical prey"). I myself prefer the term "sexually racist" for that and would consider myself one, too. But then again I seldomly say so out loud except for this situation here. In the end I don't think you can choose what you are into and that includes optical features. It's not a conscious decision.

The thing is when it comes to friendships I don't care at all about ethnicities but when I date I am simply mostly only into caucasians. But then again others are suckers (haha...oh dear...) for darker types and every other "race" on this colorful earth.

I just wanna say every time I read the word "race" in an anthropological context in a post-1960s text I die a little inside.

I feel you, especially speaking for Germans who are very sensitive with that stuff nowadays, but what to say instead?

 

[gazumped]

I'm white and most of my partners have been mixed race - half white and half African/Arab/Asian (respectively).

Not my current one, though. When my mum saw a photo of my current boyfriend she said "He's very white!" in surprise, I guess going by my usual type she'd had a different mental image of him.

... Then again can I really say I've dated outside of my race if they've all been at least half white?

 

[Miyenne]

Well, I'm white. I had my first white boyfriend in my 20s. Before that they was a bit of everything, although most I'm not sure I'd consider them actual boyfriends.

Attractive men are attractive. I don't care beyond that, I don't really have a 'type'. (Attractive means inside and out, of course.)

Player Alert.

Open fire! All weapons, now! Charge the lightning field! I take personal responsability in the Emperor's name! Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!

 

[Colour Scientist]

All my previous boyfriends have been white/Irish but that's not an intentional thing, it just worked out that way.

I've definitely been attracted to men of all races.
It's not really an issue for me.

 

[Hades]

Up till now? Not yet but I have no problem with dating someone not of my race. I have been attracted to Asians or blacks from time to time.

 

[staika]

Would I? Yes, If I'm attracted to someone it doesn't really matter what race they are just that I find them attractive or interesting. Have I dated outside of my race? Not to this point no, but then again I've only had one girlfriend my entire life and she happened to be white.

 

[Stasisesque]

Yes. I'm a girl with a healthy appetite for men, regardless of race, so I've been through my fair share of races, nationalities, religions, basic levels of hygiene etc.

Though now I'm with the whitest of the white guys ever invented. He's Caucasian as fuck, and by that I mean, he is from the Caucas.

edit: I am white, which I probably should have explained to make that last bit make sense.

 

[TehCookie]

I don't date at all...

Obligatory

Seconded.

Although being a mutt I don't know if I'm part of everyone's race or no race.

 

[EeveeElectro]

All my boyfriends have been white, but I have been attracted to people outside my race. I haven't dated them for one of several reasons - they don't like me, our personalities clash, we have nothing in common, maybe they're pricks or man whores or for religious reasons. They're the exact same reasons I haven't dated every single white person I like the look of either.

I did see a very attractive Asian man a few weeks ago at work but his personality was rotten! I don't give anyone like that the time of the day if they're rotten ;_;

 

[shrekfan246]

Well, I'm human, so I imagine probably not. It'd be pretty weird to show up at the theater or a nice restaurant all doe-eyed, or asking for a nice steak to share with my *****.

[sub][sub]I'm a terrible person... but the OP was asking for it. Also, I hate it when OPs ask questions and don't provide their own answers.[/sub][/sub]

Yes, I'll date a girl regardless of her ethnicity, but I find myself primarily attracted to Asians and Caucasians.

And just for reference, the Weird Al song "White & Nerdy" may as well have been about me.

 

[Queen Michael]

I've only dated one girl; she was white like me. But I'd date a girl from any ethnicity.

 

[The White Hunter]

Why wouldn't I?...

I don't even know what race (celtic? nordic?...) I am really and it's not particularly important...
