that's just it, i know plenty of black people and have no issues with them or their families, and yet if it's somebody i don't know, i find it kind of repulsive, it's weird. Also, black people on their own don't bother me.
Then I don't know what to tell you. I don't think you're racist, and I think anyone that thinks your racist because of that one little quirk is a moron. You don't have problems with black people in general, so I see no racism here. I'm not sure how to explain your feelings on black people dating people that aren't black though. I switched my major from psychology to sociology a little bit ago. XD

My guess is still that a black person may have hurt someone you know. My guess is that they dated them and were abusive or something along those lines. A lot of times, feelings like these are formed long before we even realize what's going on. It goes a little deeper sometimes than a simple, "Your parents were racist therefor you are racist." Phobias and such are developed much the same way. If your parent (who, as a child, normally represents absolute power and authority), is bitten by a say a brown recluse or black widow spider and almost dies as a result, you're pretty likely to develop a phobia of spiders.

Of course, I could be wrong. You might just be subconsciuosly drawing off of the stereotypes of black people and their dating habits. I mean, let's face it, true or not, that stereotype isn't exactly flattering.

You know, I never really saw why anyone gave a damn who people dated. Why the heck should race have such an effect, it's not like it's effecting you in an adverse way.

I really don't give a rat's ass, but I do feel scorn at middle-class girls who date guys engrossed in urban/gangsta culture, which incidentally happens to be 'black'.

But this has more to do with cultural elitism than racial prejudice.

Thank you. I've felt that it's more of a cultural/class issue more than an actual racial issue for a long time, but I don't think that's as widely accepted (if it's true, which it could be or not, I haven't done the research) as I'd like it to be.

They're fine.

But when the parents are crazy as in the following scenario...
My friend Jacklyn is fully Vietnamese (came here when she was about 3). Her parents will not let ANY guy, unless he is also asian, and was NOT born in America. She doesn't listen obviously, as she's dated two black guys, an Arabian, a Russian, a white-black guy and three white guys. But the bullshit rules parents come up with to "preserve their culture" are ridiculous.

I support them, and I don't see why anyone should oppose them, and if someone does, said person is an ignorant douchebag

I support it. I'm black, and the last two girls I've dated were white. IT's two people who love each other, why is it anyone else's business

Honestly, until people start wondering about it, only then it becomes something I notice. There is literally nothing to care about. It is one of those things where shedding light on it is already taking it to far.

HOW DARE THEY!

O.T. They're perfectly fine, and anyone who says otherwise is obviously a tosser and must be ignored.
