Poll: InterRacial Dating

[viranimus]

Ehh, Im dead, So the only stiffy I get is just an outbreak of rigormortis.

But oddly enough, I tend to prefer girls with a pulse. I know, it kills diversity, but what can I say.

Honestly, the only argument I think can be made for dating exclusively within race, outside of personal preference is that widespread cross racial breeding (which doesnt, and likely will never be widespread enough) could possibly diminish genetic diversity which helps keep the overall population of the species healthy.

A Black girl with a White attitude.

Mmmmmhmmmmmmm

 

[Ham_authority95]

Also, why did you separate "white" and "european" on your poll? Aren't almost all ethnic Europeans "white" in the first place...?

Well, I thought about it for a quick second and decided to separate them =\
I consider them both caucasian i guess but they just seem different enough to have their own category =_=

Fair enough. I know how someone can strongly mainland Europeans over caucasians in their own country.

I'm human, but I prefer Espers, Aliens, Time Travelers...

Spoiler: I find this relevant...

OT: I'm Native American(Mostly anyway...) and my self esteem is far too low for me to have any preferences whatsoever...<.<

 

[SkyeNeko]

Isn't the poll sort of incompatible with the topic if we can only choose one response?

Yeah. Escapist should make a multi answer one.

 

[Vanaron]

I'm mixed race (white/black) and even though I tend to be mostly attracted to white women, my last girlfriend was Asian.

However, the whole race thing happens to be a non-issue in my country (Brazil), interracial couples are pretty common over here as are multi-ethnic people.

 

[Addendum_Forthcoming]

Well, my last girlfriend was Filipino.

I've come to find she's actually colored my preferences quite a bit (darker skin tone and darker, fairly straight hair...and low alto voice, B/C-cup, shorter than me, and I should really stop). Anyway, Pacific Islander or European would be my primary interest, East Asian very close behind.

...why are "white" and "European" separate, by the way? Is it because "white" tends to mean different things in different countries?

Ahh Filos ... salt of the earth if I may indulge my latent racism (atleast it's nice racism?). Mumsy is Filo, nice people ... scarily catholic ... you haven't seen a Stations of the Cross until you go to the Philippines ...

As for me I don't much care ... if they seem like nice enough people and they don't mind me then I couldn't care less their complexion.

I'm Asian, as in Chinese, and I've only ever dated white guys so far. I wouldn't be against dating people of other cultures either. I don't know, I'm just not attracted to people of my own race because they have a tendency to look really effeminate. Seriously, would you really want to date a guy who's prettier than you are? Don't mind halfies though. Where I live, it seems interracial relationships are pretty acceptable (at least to the people I know, anyway) and you see a lot of interracial couples in Melbourne.

 

[ultrachicken]

I'm white, and I prefer white girls, but I'm not at all opposed to dating outside of my own demographic.

 

[badgersprite]

I don't think about race when I date. I like people for their personality.

If you're asking specifically who I've dated though, I'm a white girl, and my partners have been white and Asian (specifically Chinese) in equal proportion. It's not that these are really preferences on my part, though; this is just a reflection of the demographics where I live, and where I went to school and all that. That's basically the makeup of my community.

 

[Eternal_Lament]

I'm white, and I find white and asian girls especially attractive.

If I were to date though, I don't think I'd have a problem with any race. At least I like to hope so.

 

[Truehare]

I am a white guy who used to have blond hair (before losing most of it...), and I prefer black girls; in fact, I never even kissed a blond girl. That's probably because I love difference... but also because I think it's genetically smart to have a mate who is as different from you as you can find. EDIT: that last sentence should be rephrased; I don't THINK like that, but I imagine my instincts do.

And for the record, I could never understand why movies and TV (especially in the USA) are so reluctant to show interracial couples, unlees the different races are important to the story. That always seemed a tad racist to me.

Also for the record, I voted black in the poll, and my second choice would have been asian. OP, you sound like a very interesting person to get to know .

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

I've been attracted to women who were white, black, Chinese, Latina, Polish, and South American.

I don't actually date, but if I did, I wouldn't play favorites.

This is one crossover I would like to see.

 

[Cain_Zeros]

All the girls I've dated are white, (as am I), but I can, and have, found women of other races attractive. I'm happy with my white girl (and that is meant to be singular) though.

 

[tawmus]

If a girl is hot, she's hot. I'm more for shape then color.

 

[BonsaiK]

Ok, so I'm a black/asian girl (i look more black though), and the first thing id like to point out is that the only guys who think im pretty are black guys. I rarely see any races dating outside of their own race. first of all i think its not fair because i dont think ill find a black/asian guy (and i dont want to), and second of all, why? how many escapists out there like to date men/women from other races?

EDIT: sorry if i missed a race there arent alot of spaces to put answers for the poll =_=

Warning: the following response may actually answer your question.

People don't usually date by race, but what they do often do is date within their own culture and interests. Sometimes culture and interests align with race, sometimes they don't. For example I've dated white people, black people and Asians and what they all had in common was that they were a part of my town's particular music subculture. Someone who is in a culture with a less diverse racial mix than mine would probably not end up dating other races, not because of avoidance but because the opportunity may just never come up to meet someone with similar interests who just happens to be of another race. It's not discrimination, it's just mathematics.

 

[Tim_Buoy]

well im an asian male but for me it really depends on the specific girl but i prefer east asian and white

 

[BabyRaptor]

I've never had an issue dating outside my race...The man I had my son with was half Japanse, half Mexican. (I'm a white mutt.) Beautiful baby. He'll know he was adopted, though. >.>

Anyway, yeah. I don't see any issue with it.
