Cute.

I'm not generalizing anyone.

Sorry if you felt offended.

But I know so many boys and girls who think white guys are 'lame' and would rather date guys of color.
But I guess that's also generalizing cause that means colored guys have the stigma of being 'street'

Everything is racism.

Well would you want someone to date you because of a stereotype?

We have this thread like once every few months.

No.
I'm black & I prefer to date white guys.
It has nothing to do with "race", ultimately.

I can still look in the mirror and love what I see, so no...

I never said that.

I just said nothing is proven when it comes to sexuality, there are tons of debates. This isn't new info.

No, I wasn't attracted to black guys at one point.
But I came to realize that was simply cause I couldn't find any good looking ones in my town.
Things have changed since then.

natural hair and a pleasant attitude.

Natural hair?

Finding members of other races unattractive isn't racist, but keep it to yourself. Saying "I'm not attracted to any black guys", for example, is pretty offensive. It sounds like they don't deserve you.

No but I've just never seen it that way.
Whenever I think of my future I just picture myself with an Arabic/Black guy, idk why.
I never thought it was because of a stereotype.

What is proven though is that racism is based on social attitudes developed by institutions like the media and government. So, choosing one race to dislike based on certain expectations of how they would look IS definitely a choice as opposed to being gay, which most likely isn't.

No, it's racist when you hate certain race not just because you wouldn't date nor like a black or white guy.

Lol, this all applies to being gay though, so I don't get this?

Many people do believe your sexuality is influenced on social attitudes, media, government, etc. (If you grew up playing with Barbies and only having female friends, and watching My Little Pony then it won't be a surprise if you come out as Gay).

Well ofc, but as a Black guy I've had numerous guys tell me they're looking for a bbc or asking how hung I was without even asking my name first.

Some of the comments, though.

Minorities are just mad that white men are not attracted to them sorry not sorry I agree with him one hundred percent. And when me and my boyfriend get married we are going to adopt white children because we want kids who will look like us.

Agree with you. I only want another white boyfriend. And I would never had a child with a non white woman. I want my children to be white like me

Pokistic

This issue is always interesting. I mean if you like a person because of the color of the hair, the hair texture, their eye color and shape, can you be attracted by someone skin color as well?

You don't have a biological predisposition to being racist, but you do have a biological predisposition to being homosexual.

Basically, the example you gave isn't the cause for homosexuality, but a possible circumstance or outcome. That's not the same thing.

I really hope that one, you're actually gay so you can relate and two, are not trying to imply that being homosexual is a choice just so you can justify finding a whole race unattractive.

That would be really stupid.

Well I just genuinly (I think) think Black/Latin/Arab guys are hotter and more beautiful than most white men.
That probably has some underlying origin too but oh well.

This is part of something I wrote last year or so when it comes to race in the LGBT.

Quote:

And I also feel the need to bring up Asian men and lift them up. (Tunaboy) and asian men in the LGBT community in general I’m looking at you. You think black gay men have it bad? and while we do gay Asian men have it 100x worse, hell Asians overall not just gay ones. They are the most underrepresented group I have ever seen.

They don’t have a voice or a popular figure in media to relate to unlike other ethnic groups.
As much as I like two broke girls the way they write the Asian restaurant owner is very offensive and is always the butt of jokes playing on stereotypes that Asian men are short.

I dated an Asian and he was quite well endowed I didn't know his size until we got intimate. But I never thought he had a small penis due to him being Asian the thought never crossed my mind.

And if he wasn't so what? there are plenty of non Asian men who don’t have big penises either.
I have came across too many gay Asian men who are afraid to message a guy cause they’re afraid they might not be liked cause of their race.

Asian men are below blacks on the dating poll cause of them not only being non-white but stereotyped as all being short,small twink-ish build and a small penis when there are plenty of Asian men who do not fall in any of those categories.

......No?

This isn't the case. None of that determines sexuality and are just stereotypes that people don't apply to straights. Just b/c a girl plays soccer, doesn't mean she's a lesbian.
