| I wouldn't mind if white women were voted the prettiest, that means less competition for all the other women. |

Nambo-
"I like a quite life, I dont like the thought of being bossed around in my own home."
I'm curious, what makes you think you'd be bossed around in your own home? How many black woman have you dated? married? As a black woman I don't consider myself masculine and neither does the Asian guy I'm interested in.
You may not think so, but you are stereotyping.

Kudos to you. I don't think Tiger Woods ex-wife is anything out of the ordinary! |

| Tends to be demographics where the person is from usually from. Though, I am currently dating someone who is half-hispanic and I'm Caucasian. |

Some Afro-American women are quite attractive, see Beyonce for example.
The kinky-haired actress who played at Exit Wounds (2001) Shakira Harper is also quite attractive in my opinion.

However I don't usually find the full-blooded black African women attractive as African Americans are not full-blooded black Africans because Afro-Americans are still heavily mixed with white Americans and I think this admixture can be quite noticeable in appearance. |

I'd say, and it was said before, demographics. Especially around here, I'd be hard-pressed to find someone non Hispanic.
I was one in New York though, and there were a lot of different races there, although a good explanation could be that people tend to hang out with others of their own race. My cousins in the U.S.A were born there; one of them is married to a second generation italian-american, the second one to a third generation irish-american, and the third one to an... american.
One very intriging event while I was there was at a McDonalds, where I noticed a group consisting solely of black kids in some sort of school trip. Why would a school be like that, instead of being mixed? If they grow up around people of their race, they're bound to get married with someone of that race in the end.
It would be interesting to see how it goes in more integrated environments.

The US and Brazil are still one of the most racist countries on Earth. In the US not too long ago there was racial segregation between whites and blacks and in Brazil slavery and economic discrimination against blacks and mixed race people lasted longer than in even in the US.
Some European countries like Switzerland and Finland are much better than the US and Brazil when it comes to racial tolerance and there is also much less antisemitism in those countries. This is why I consider moving back to Switzerland.

One of the posters on the first page suggested they would marry in their field of study. I think that was the best answer yet.
The first girl I was ever seriously interested in was not my race. To be honest, I never even knew her race, just that she was a helluva lot darker than me, and really really smart (both mentally and socially). And she said interesting things. And she thought I said interesting things. And she was beautiful. I didn't realize race would ever be a problem. It was. Her parents were hellbent set against her dating a white boy. And she caved into their wishes.
All this to say I think the family's opinion and family reaction and family tradition (even for us white folk) often has an impact on our choices of who to pursue in the serious dating world. Conciously or not. It didn't occur to me that my father would have issue with me dating black (he would have) but I did know my mother would approve of me dating a smart person. Since I considered my father a jackass at that point in my life, and my mother's opinion was (and still is) the only one that ever mattered to me, I was certainly not going against what I saw as 'positive'.
In this case, the reason we never got together was her parents getting huffy.
But in many cases, it might be subconcious "traditional" decisionmaking deep deep inside the screwy human head in an effort to please (or at least not to displease) our families' expectations. Many of our families grew up with segregation. I don't think the next few generations are going to be as picky about race. |

Consider that races of people aren't so different from breeds of dogs. Any breed of dog can be bred together, just as any race of human. However, studies show that genetic equity is compromised in breeds of dogs and races of people when they are bred with races/breeds other than their own. When a dog is not purebred you can not get papers on it because it has lost it's genetic equity. I believe we have a responsibility to these vessels we reside in. Each race further refines itself when working within the construct/culture which influenced it's biologic development. A culture is developed as an atmosphere for the growth of a particular form of life/race. Within the atmosphere, that life refines itself through generations of struggle/innovation/celebration until it eventually finds an optimal means of establishing itself as the cultures inspiring value of origin.
To mix the atmospheres/cultures/races is to ask for compromise. Our biology/animal body is aware of this in terms of tribal/pack magnetism. We function as such when our higher mind is in recession. Our instincts tell us where we belong and that means we always go to the crowds who are most like us biologically. Unless there aren't many of our kind, then we assimilate or die. Which is much of what the media teaches us to do today. Pop-culture is like a new religion and if you aren't into it, you don't pass go. You never win. It is the wiping away of our old culture/atmosphere and the precession of the artificial that has been blanketed over us. They wish for us to all just melt together.. as they remain purebred and pure of strength in their own culture on the outskirts while promoting our mass assimilation to ambiguity, the loss of definition is what they push for. They wish us to lose ourselves, to lose our history,... you know that saying, "you don't know what you got, till it's gone"
When we lose what defines us, we will lose much knowledge. Remember that knowledge is power, and with the loss of this power.. we will step down and be ruled over by a people who have campaigned for our destruction through propaganda in entertainment. They will rewrite and are writing our new culture. Their means for controlling slaves. We don't have to accept it. We can study our heritage, be proud of where we came from and appreciate diversity for what it is, DIVERSE! We should all be different and proud of the fact. Willing to stand up for our differences and not be belittled or called racist for simply stating that we have admired certain differences about people of other cultures. The understanding of differences does not have to be gazed upon in a negative light. Just remember tho, new understanding comes with new responsibility and if our biology tells us through science that it is best to breed with our own kind.. who are we to question science or nature for that matter? We should be proud and promote the differences that inspire us all but remain true to our own unique people. |
