Its isnt freaking racism

My GOD am i sick of that word.

What If you dont like tanned skin?
Nothing to do with race..just just dont like dark features.

You arent going to fancy black men or asian men or greek etc. are you?

Its preference not racism.

Some black men I find attractive, chinese etc but never found an asian man attractive.


China is in Asia isn't it?


But before i explain more then one of us stated on here they only date white so why only quote me ??


no reason to single you out, same goes for the others


I can say that because at different time in my life i've met a black guy, an albanian guy and a turkish guy... All i've had the chance to date but i couldnt because im simply not attracted to them... Yes i gave them a chance.They were nice guys just not for me.....


But thats exactly my point!!

You're ruling out a whole race of millions of people because you didn't fancy one!

You must have met a white English guy you didn't fancy, so did you rule out white English guys based on that?

Every weekend you used to find me in an RnB club most guys there were black or asian..... I dont fancy them.... Is that not simple enough for you ? I have black friends, asian friends turkish friends i just dont date them. You can quote me til the cows come home it's not going to make me date a guy that is not white !! I wont date a ginger guy do you have an issue with that too ?? Want my life history of different race guys i've met to determine if i have a right to personal preference ???


You must have met a white English guy you didn't fancy, so did you rule out white English guys based on that?


FFS this is going to be never ending isn't ? No matter how i reply to you quoting me you are always going to have an issue with me only dating white guys so all i can say to you my friend that it is infact YOUR issue not mine.

As I said right from the start, I'm not having a go - I'm just interested in why - because as this thread shows, you're not the only one

I'm not one of those PC people who is oversensitive about race issues and likes calling racism, my point is the same with you saying you would never date a ginger man! I just don't understand how that can overrule everything else about a person thats all.

e.g I don't generally fancy fat women, but I judge them as individuals so I don't rule out the possibility of ever being attracted to one. Same goes for all my other preferences which include racial ones - they are only preferences

right, thats enough now ;-)

Ok, I know it's Wikipedia, but check out this for a definition of 'racism':

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism

Irrespective of skin colour, different races exhibit different facial and physical characteristics which one may or may not find attractive, in the same way as you may or may not find someone attractive who has ginger hair (as an example, no offence). This does not constitute racism.

Skin colour is not an issue to me. I may be attracted to someone physically or by their personalities or both, but race doesn't come in to it - the actual issue of race simply is not there, it's just personal preference.

Ask others surely there input would be good rather then just mine as im sure we will have different reasoning.

I don't find ginger guys attractive same old story eh... But see a pattern here ?? PERSONAL PREFERENCE


right, thats enough now ;-)

I don't date outside my race, or species for that matter, and often I am accused of being racist, but it is just a preference.


Us humans are safe then.

I recently had a message from a black guy..........his profile didn't interest me neither did the original message so I politely answered saying thanks but no thanks. I reeived a reply "You girls are all the same, if you dont want a f'ing black guy then put it on your profile" and accusing me of being racist. I replied saying that he knew nothing about me, didn't know that my ex wasn't black and my children mixed race.........ad not to put his own insecurities on me. Followed by F - OFF.........

I'm not racist, dont care what people message me but if they don't interest me at the start, it doesn't matter if they are a martian or Prince William, I won't continue...........

Some people are MORE attracted to people of other races does this mean theyre racist against themselves ???

Is it racist if one doesnt want to date someone with little/no English or who lives in another country/region ?

What about age ? Is it "ageism" to say youll only date within a certain age range ? If so what about dating a fifteen year old saying no makes you an ageist, saying yes means youre a paedophile.

What about disabilities/religions/people in different income brackets/people who suppost different football teams/fat people/thin people/smart people/dumb people/left wingers/right wingers/ugly people

People who support different football teams, now there's an interesting one, for me, it's not about whether someone supports a different football team or even a certain one, but some people might support certain beliefs that come with that choice of team. That's where there could be a problem. In Scotland anyway sorry to say, I know someone who told me his family was so bitter that he would have been better taking home a gorilla for a life partner than someone who supported a certain opposing team.

I have been out with girls of many different races in the past, & would do so again without question. It's the person that interests me, not what colour they are.

The only group I would exclude from that, & would never, ever date, is people of the same sex!!

Isn't it racism though to exclude a whole race of people?

If it's for a negative reason that does them some form of injustice, yes.
But not for choosing a frikkin' partner for fks sake.

i think ppl who spend anytime try to explain why they are not racist are racist..
racist ppl are usually very stupid..

Well, we all have our own opinions. Personally I think the people who see racism where there is none (thus forcing other people to have to explain themselves) are the ones that aren't that bright...

Different Strokes and all that

The most important thing to me is the WOW factor...and that has manifested itself in the past in white skins, black skins and asian skins even an Italian skin once too!...its the person and the connection I go for...I fancy the man not the race...

I'm not having a go or accusing you of racism, I'm just intrigued..

How can you say that you know 100% you would never fancy someone with black skin? You're effectively saying that you could meet your perfect match, but even if he was perfect in every way, you wouldn't go out with him because of his skin colour. Which effectively means that you consider his skin colour more important than anything else. Is that not racism?

What about mixed race? How white do they need to be?

___________________________________________________________________________________

You would not know he was your perfect match in every way if you decided from the outset you didnt fancy him or want to get to know him.

My motto is: Any hole's a goal.

But if someone had a specific characteristic that didn't float my boat, for ANY reason, then I wouldn't waste my time dating 'em.

Chemistry is far more important surely.

To be honest, unless you have had a DNA test on your parentage, no one can truelly say where they originated.

I think about 20% of men are bringing up children in the UK that are not their biological child. I don't think women can say the same, can they?

There has surely been many instances of insestual relationships as the people are unware of the truth.

So like who you like regardless of size, gender, colour or race...its by far the best way.

Would those posters that agreed size is shallow also agree that colour is also or is it just simply preference or maybe you view it as being racist considering we arent allowed to discriminate against skin colour in all other areas of our lives ?


I dont think it is racist to have a preference to what floats your boat. It only becomes racist when you do it because you believe your race is superior to the others.

why waste peoples time having them write long messages, only to have the recipient say.. sorry yout not my type..?


On that logic, should we state every preference we may have?


OT People can state what they like on their profile, and I won't consider them to be 'shallow' for any of them, race included.

In fact, it's always refreshing to see how people aren't worried about being non-pc or even racist.......and good luck to them!
