Preference does not automatically equate to racism.

I'm in one of the smallest minorities in the freakin world - 3-4% world-wide.

I'm often selected against. Guess I could claim some kind of "-ism." But I doubt it would make me anymore attractive, most likely- less so, going around toting victim baggage.

just a thought

As for me I have mostly only dated black men in the past but I am open to dating men of different races. I do get messages from white men but they still have to be attractive to me and in shape physically just like any other man I might be in interested in but I really haven't had contact from those types yet.

When I was in 7th grade a big black Jamaican girl beat me up. I'm sure that changed how I viewed black girls when it comes to dating. 8P

I know it affected me sub-conciously because I simply find black women more aggressive and domineering even if they act normally. 8( Stupid child-hood traumas.

out of curiousty Brunopolis why did this "big black Jamaican girl" beat you up??

was it something you said to her? something you did to mock her? or make fun of her?
or did you crack a not so funny joke about her an her heritage in front of people an of course she took it offensivly?

She was simply a bully that bullied others. I was easily half her size and I was a bit of a geek back in junior high. A bad experience in your childhood affects how you view people later on whether you like it or not. I'm being honest here and just doing a self-analysis as to why I don't find black women AS attractive as other women(asian, latinos, white, indian, etc).

I see where you are from and why you'd assume that it would be something to do with racism. However, where I grew up it was a FAR different place than in the southern states. I went to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridgemont_High_School_(Ottawa) where Somalians and Middle Easterners (particularly Lebanon and Iran) easily outnumbered what you would classify as "white" people.

Regardless, I don't want to turn this too much into a justification but you have to be aware that a young positive/negative experiences can change what you view or don't view as attractive.

Personally, if I had a preference it would be latin women. I'd take a latin lady over a white girl any day. Colombian, Venezuelan, and Brazilian women are gorgeous! And maybe that to has to do with a positive experience involving a latin girl when I younger. I just don't remember it.
