However this is an issue that I feel very strongly about... I am in full agreement with Mirage. It is 2005 and we all should be long past the entire issue.. For those who are not , we should feel sorry for them if they lack the education and information they need.. For those who do have it, but choose to remain in their prejudiced state , we should let them know they are the ones not worthy of our attention.... | |

I find so many different woman attractive for many different reasons. Skin color is never an issue I find there are more important qualities that require attention. One not being rude or just down right ignorant. As long as the person has a good soul and great heart I'm in.   | |

Of course even in tis day and age there are still skin colour issues out there and I agree with you guys 100% those ppl are sad.

Posted: 8/21/2005 10:44:34 PM | | I guess it all comes down to personal preference. But, like others have said, it's not just them you get involved with, you have to deal with their family too. I've been on dates with gals from different cultures and enjoyed myself [one Nigerian, and one Indian from Trinidad, not sure if the Latin girl from Nicaragua counts]. We got [and still get] along great, even though nothing romantic ever came of it. Certain people in my extended family might not be so thrilled if I were to get serious with someone not white. I'd think that it should be our choice. | |

Posted: 8/22/2005 5:23:05 AM | | When I do date and that is seldom (my choice) I guess I'm one of the sad ones because I do not date from other cultures. Never had any interest in them and likely won't change at my age. And I really don't feel I'm missing out on anything and it's a personal preferance so no lectures please. | |

Posted: 8/22/2005 2:44:17 PM | | Hey .. no need for lectures. Some folks prefer to date only within their race or culture and that's cool. | |

Posted: 11/22/2006 10:39:01 PM | | You know what...I don't even pay attention to that. It makes no difference to me what ethnicity the other person is, what religion, what cultural differences....who cares. Everyone is still human, no matter what they look like or culture they were raised in. I don't know about anyone else, but I was raised up to respect others no matter where they hailed from. You learn from each other and grow as an individual....that's life. We live, bleed, breathe and die as one race...there is no difference at all. | |

Posted: 11/23/2006 8:00:41 AM | | I think here in Toronto more and more women and men of other cultures are dating others as well and not only their own. Is nice to see that nowadays too. many times I know religion gets in the way and many times it is not the man or woman who has the problem with the person of another ethnicity, it is usually the parents. Still it is me who wnats to be happy, not trying to please my parents or family. | |

Posted: 11/25/2006 11:15:23 AM | As many have said, I don't see it an issue. We all have a preferences.
Take myself for example (I could be burying myself here) My preference is to caucasian women. That's not to say I would never date somebody who is asian,arabic,or black(sorry couldn't think of a politically correct term).I just haven't met any that have tickled my fancy at this point.
Anyway now that I have rambled on enough.....I'll just re-iterate. No I don't think it is an issue. | |

Posted: 11/25/2006 11:57:56 AM | On a global scale ... ethnicity , the intolerance of others , is a huge problem for this planet .
It does trickle down to the local level as well ... it causes families to break up , it causes friendships to break up . It's a sad testament to the human race . The aliens must be having a field day studying us . lol
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder .. however "hatred " based on looks and culture , has no place in my world . | |

Posted: 11/25/2006 2:32:35 PM | From my own experience I am convinced that ethnicity does play a very important role in dating. You have to experience it to really appreciate what it means.
Those people who claim to be totally accepting of other cultures must remember that we are ALL influenced by what I would call a strong "cultural bias" based on what we grew up and feel comfortable with. This is not racism per se it's just human nature.
To claim that this type of thing does not exist is being a little naive don't you think?
However in the LONG RUN this may becomes less of an issue. If two people are really meant for each other then it's a wonderful thing.
