Answer 1

I HATE NASCAR!!!
I, like threelegged racing!!!!

Answer 2

I am dating someone of another race than that of my own.

I come from Nordic (northern European) decent, while he is Spanish/Italian from Colombia.

The only thing that we have any "issues" with is the language barrier between me and his parents; though it's not really a problem at all considering they have been in the states a while and picked up the basic parts of English and his mother is currently taking English classes, as I am with Spanish, and she pretty much loves me as her own.

I've never dated someone of a different backround until i met him and we have been together for a little over a year now; happily, no doubt.

When it comes to custom, values, preference, and similarities; I've never found someone i could connect to so closely, and i have a blast with him and his family, it's crazy. Our families are very different, considering the customs and social class in the world, but together we are amazing and i'm glad i met him the way i did. I'm glad i met him at all, under any circumstance.

As for preference, i think i would prefer Spanish/Hispanic partners over my own race, only because it seems that chivalry and manners are in a decline for (white boys) and other races that i have encountered aren't exactly the most respectful. But then again, like so many others have said, i follow my heart, so whoever wins it, i'm theirs.

That's just my view on the subject.

Answer 3

-I would date a person from any racial group.
-Why?
A. I'm mixed. If I were to date within my race, I would have to date someone that is a member of every racial group I am a part of. Do you know how hard it would be for me to find someone that is Puerto-Rican, Black, and Algonquin? I've met one other person of that combined ethnic background in 20 years of living. :p
It would be a huge disadvantage. I'd be single forever! LOL! :p
B. I can't pick just one: It isn't something I base attractiveness around in itself, because there's only people that are within certain groups that appeal/unappeal to me. I've found women that come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, that are attractive and unattractive to me. I've dated Black women, Puerto-Rican women, and White women in my life. I try to appreciate beauty the way it comes.

-There's going to be some that I'll never be with, but it would have to do with what women I meet: Not the fact that I may dislike it or something.

-Obviously this doesn't apply to me, but you're a bit confused about the terms. If someone has a different preference, it doesn't make them racist, because that would not mean they wouldn't accept people of other races. Not dating someone because of something you paticularly don't like isn't prejudice, but judging them and/or making assumptions based on that (And not interacting with them at all) would be bigotry.

Answer 4

Yes I would date someone who is outside of my race. Where I live its more ethnically diverse than some parts of the country so there is more opportunity to meet women of other races.
However, I don't think you can automatically assume someone is racist just because they prefer dating among their race. In my experience, people tend to associate with others whom they have the most frequent contact with, or are the most comfortable being around. Sometimes other things are involved such as your job or socioeconomic status.
Immigrants often associate with others from their home country, at least for the first generation. This is because it offers them a sense of comfort and a support system if they need it.

Answer 5

Yes, love is love. Although if someone were dating me, and they were from another race and their parents were racist, I'd stop dating them because I don't want them to have problems with their family.

Answer 6

I think you should be able to date somebody who is not the same race; although, lots of society will frown when they see you together in the public... thus it is additional strain on the relationship. You have to be ready for that if you want to date outside of your race.

Answer 7

Yes. Any female in the human race.

Answer 8

Although I have dated other races before, I'd rather date my own race. And it's not about being racists...It's about having a preference.

Answer 9

I would never date any other race of women apart from black women. Because black women have the full package and i don't need to go for anything less. I would also like to have beautiful black kids not mixed, because there will be a time when they ask, daddy, am i black or white? and you know how society is like, black vs white not inbetween.

Answer 10

I am dating someone of a different race, he's Italian and I'm Hispanic.

I would date someone based on their character, not skin color.

I am not racist, but I am going to HONESTLY admit that I find Indian men less attractive. However that would not stop me from dating them.

Answer 11

No and it's not about being a racist it's about who I'm attracted to... If I'm only attracted to Hispanic males and I'm white does that make me racist? No... So if I'm white and only attracted to white men am I racist no...
