Yes. And in my opinion--that's the worst kind when you discriminate against and don't care for members of your own culture and race. Now if you've dated a few of your own race and then you meet, date and fall in love with a person who happens to be of another race-that's understandable and fine and common.There is nothing wrong with dating outside your race or getting to know different kinds of people, but to exclude your own race is wrong and sends the message that you don't think your own people are good enough for you. And FYI--there is good and bad in every race. Just ask the women of any other race about bad experiences with men of their race. Personally, I am very attracted to men of my race, and every now and then I am attracted to someone who is of another race. I don't understand how you could not be attracted to members of a world that you were born into and have been around. I know for a fact that there are attractive and unattractive men All Over the globe. Maybe you have not given the men of your own race a real chance. Just like I was telling someone who asked an opinion a while back--you can not judge a whole race based on 2, 3, or even 10 people... not even if it is your own race.

I agree with a previous answer: It depends on why you don't want to date outside of your race. Honestly, if you think a lighter/darker shade is cuter or thin/thick hair is more attractive or even the tone of the guy's voice or the way he walks is more attractive than your own race, then that's fine. But if you are basing it on something else that is deeper, like they remind you of something negative society connects them with, then you might want to rethink things. Example: I wont date an Italian because Italians are connected to the mob. I wont date a Black man because Black men steal. I wont date White men because White men beat their women. Those are not very good reasons because they are stereotypes and may not necessarily be true for a guy who might be interested in you. Try to stay open to all races for the most part and put more weight on his personality rather than his appearance. Besides, I will date anyone who is a Christian, male, dates ONLY women, and has a job. If he's Black, White, Hispanic, who cares, he'll do. Jk

The last I heard is that you are in the Human race. Unless.... Just kidding. If you talking about your "own" color then if you aren't attracted then you aren't attracted. This could change in time and maybe not. Racist? Hardly. If you grew up in a predominantly white, yellow, or brown area you will tend to be used to whatever color. It's what you see. I am a 6 foot tall asian male. I can see above my "peers" and I can see above a room of Caucasians. I don't see the difference. My preference growing up in Southern California, Asians. Why? A preference. Though if a red head ever came my way I would not mind. My girlfriend now is Asian and I would probably marry her in the future. I have never been high on blonds, though I appreciate their beauty. Brunettes and women with Black hair maybe. Don't beat yourself up for something that is a preference. Have fun in life and enjoy what you like.

I don't think you have a self-esteem problem. Your attracted to a certain type and it just so happens it's not your race.I am white and I like Italian men. I hope there comes a time when people don't think about race. You just like what you like, go for it!

I would not say that you are racist. Everyone has their preference about who they like to date. It could include anything from a certain skin color to a certain eye color but its not to say they are racist. Superficial maybe. It really all depends on why it is that you dont like dating people of your race.

Well i think you should consider other things than race.
if the only difference is color than are u giving that person a chance?
do you only date attractive looking people? than what?
theres more to a person than what they look like.
for me, im attracted to personalities. funny, fun, smart, easy going people. Its these things that make people attractive to me.

No, not really. Everybody has their type, and if guys of your race aren't your type I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

it's your preference. i watched a movie of a guy who is black but passed himself as a jew his whole life and disowned his own family including his mom because he hated being teased about being black . he dated white chicks and didn't have kids for the fear of them coming out black. his wife didn't even know his a.s.s was black the guy's name is wenthworth miller from prison break. he is black but looks white. date who you want just be prepared to hear snickers and comments and as long as you can deal with it more power to you

IT NOT RACIST THAT YOU ARE NOT ATTRACTED TO YOUR
OWN RACE. IT REALLY DEPEND ON WHY . EVERY ONE HAS
A SORT PERSON THAT THEY ARE ATTRACTED, IT HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE COLOR. IT ABOUT THE PERSON
