I always wondered this. Does your race/nationality/ethnicity(whatever you want to call it) affect your taste in the opposite sex (or, in some people's cases, the same sex)? I'm half white (Irish, Scottish, German, Polish, Lithuanian) and half Puerto Rican. I always found myself attracted to whites or Latin Americans. Not really any Semitics, Africans, Asians, etc. I'm not racist in any way. My father's a civil rights lawyer, so many of his clients aren't white. So is my taste based on where my ancestors came from?
I've also been told it might be because of where I grew up. I grew up around a very white/hispanic environment, and I've noticed that when people of certain races grow up in places without too many of their own kind, they seem to become attracted to people of other races.
So is it mere coincidence that many people I know and I are like this? Is it because of where we come from? Or is it because of where we grew up? Maybe somethining else?
Thanks,
Gerard
