By the way - I'm married to a vietnamese/caucasian man. Please don't think I was downing anyone. The jaded theory is just something i've heard several times....

Some yes, but a lot of its just what you like. Like do men who only like women with small breasts jaded or is it just a preference. Race or skin tone can be the same as height or weight in terms of importance to people, its what attracts them.
Jaded is me: I will NEVER date another Bahamian man again...I'm done. I only pick the losers so I'm gonna try another nationality and see how I fair. THAT"S JADED!!!!

What makes you think that? This sounds like a loaded question! Well, regardless, all "jaded" really means is "fatigued from overworked" or "dull, cynical, or apathetic from repetition." The latter definition may work here, if you are suggesting that people like this have no variety in their tastes. However, that is totally untrue.
The fact is that EVERYBODY has arbitrary characteristics that make them attracted or not attracted to an individual. Some people like round faces. Some people like pointed. Some people like tall people. Some like short. Some people only like brown hair. Some people love blue eyes. And personality and chemistry are going to play a big role in this as well. In the overall scheme of things, it is rather arbitrary. Think about what characteristics you like best in a person? There is a great variety of them, right? But they are also likely pretty set. You like what you like. You don't have to apologize for it or make any excuses.
Honestly, what's the difference between someone who only is attracted to a member of the "opposite race," whatever the heck that means, and someone who is only attracted to the same race? There are still a variety of different characteristics in play, regardless of the situation. It doesn't make anyone jaded. It just makes them unique.

I think we have the natural capacity to be strongly physically attracted to members of either race (I'm focusing mainly on black and white here, just so you know). After all, we're all members of the same species, so why would we NOT be physically attracted to one another from time to time? I'm Italian, and most of my friends are either Italian or other white, and many of the men I know express great attraction at times for many black women. Indeed my personal favorite types of women are darker women, ranging from Mediterranean women or LatinAmerican women, to Middle Eastern, Arab, south Asian, or black African women. I am attracted to their darker skin and features, personally, which I find to be a real turn-on. It's a matter of one's "taste", really.
Whether or not people ACT on these attractions and actually seek to "interracially date" , is up to the people in question, and it may even have something to do with the societies in which they live, and / or their families (many people will not risk familial disapproval).
That having been said, I do think some of the people who DO date only interracially, do so for reasons that have to do with jadedness. For example, I've met black women who say they don't want to date black men because of various factors which they perceive to be "wrong with" or difficult about black men. I've met white women who don't want to date white men for the same kinds of reasons, or because culturally they feel they have more in common with black men, or what have you. Usually these people seem to have had bad experiences in the past, which have led them to these conclusions, and therefore saying they are "jaded" would not be an entirely unfair way of putting it.

Opposite race???? What's an opposite race?
What is opposite of Oriental? Of American Indian? Of Caucasian? Of Black? Of Australian Aborigines?

No they maybe attracted by a certain "type". Like some men preferring blondes.

no dear, they're adventurous. Nothing wrong with it, and really, nothing to read into it.

Everyone has their own preferances.
