I don't get how people in our generation can even have no attraction to people of other races, and I have no sympathy for their arguments. You don't like one black girl because of the way she speaks? I guarantee you'll meet another one who studied linguistics and can change her accent to suit whatever tongue she's using. Don't like an Indian gal's religious habits? No matter, you can probably find one who isn't religiously devout, or perhaps just doesn't care who prays to who and when. You don't like that blonde at the coffee shop complaining about her latte not containing soy milk? I'm sure there's one working right now with some welding tools who'd be happy to play some co-op CoD with you after supper.
For every stereotype that exists, there's someone out there who contradicts it, and to focus on those instead of thinking that the world you live in is very small and a bad example of what other people are like outside of your city, state, or country, is foolhardy.
As for me, I seem to be drawn to educated women, more often than not brunettes, who all seem to have eye problems and wear glasses. For the last 3 years, I've not dated anyone who's of the same race as I, and for the last 10 years, I've not even dated someone who was of the same culture as mine. It really makes no difference to me, as long as we can communicate well, and it perplexes me that so many young people don't think so freely about what they would like to have in a partner.
Edit: Yeah, I guess Baraka407 took the words right out of my mouth.

I don't find Chinese guys attractive what so ever, does that make me racist against the Chinese now?

you all are so fucking stupid. Its likyou're that bored you meant to stir up trouble for no good reason

RACISM!!!!

Dictionary definition of prejudice: "An irrational attitude of directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their supposed characteristics."

So no, your opinion might not be a dictionary definition of racism (unless you believe Chinese people to be inferior), but your grouping of all men from an entire race, presumably based on their supposed characteristics? I'll leave that for you to decide.

As for people being bored and stirring up trouble... Someone asked a question in the general forum and it generated a relatively civil conversation. You're the one calling people fucking stupid.

come on Mkoers (horrible name) no one f#$%ing anything.
(unless I go first)
here all ever friends.
To quote a wise man
"I regulate any shade of that @$$" - Big Pun
now go my M koers be yourselves!

Do you still eat Chinese food?

Wait, we're the stupid ones for saying that making decisions off of broad swooping generalizations isn't prejudice?




EDIT: Also you're saying that these guys are just completely unattractive to you right?

Oh and let me know if this sounds racist:

Black people are stupid to me. I hate their accents, they smell bad , and they act like morons...well maybe not ALL of them. But 99.9%.

What do you think MKO, racist or no?

Exactly. Fucked up thing for me to say right? Sounds horribly racist right?
Guess what, that's what blacksaibot said about black women and refuses to acknowledge how racist it sounds. Point of reference:

"I'm half black and black women are ugly to me. They smell funky, I hate their hair, and they act like idiots... well may not ALL of them. But 99.9%"

Was it wrong for me to come to this thread, in expectations for a more civilized discussion about a touchy subject amongst racial preference?

Here's my expectations for a female, regardless of race, whatever comes first. If you can be my partner, associate, &/or companion where we can help each other through the best & worst of times like an allied unit, than that's the woman for me. I don't expect nothing more, nothing less. Appearance doesn't mean a damn thing to me. It's the heart that counts. & if anyone doesn't like my opinion, I'll just accept it because I could be wrong for what I believe in.

& for the record, any particular female race can have different qualities that is deemed attractive to the opposite gender.

well, except supernatural beings/monster girls *blech* avoid them like the plague.

I usually don't find Asian guys attractive, but these guys are making me all hot and bothered. lol

Exactly my point. I wouldn't be making a big deal out of this but man...SO much pain, suffering, and injustice is born out of racial prejudice and often times, people might not even be aware that they're doing it. While it's easy to generalize with something so trivial as "I don't think Asian men are attractive" or even harsher "Asian men are ugly to me", think about what that implies, the repercussions possible, as well as the danger in making broad generalizations. That's all I'm trying to illustrate here.

Prejudice is ignorance and born of fear of something different than yourself.

Those men are good looking. HOWEVER, me personally, I'm not sexually attracted to them.

But they have such adorable faces...

Their faces are too boyish looking. I like Men.

I actually tend to find older-looking men much more attractive, but Asian guys can sometimes pull off the younger look, like these three.

Just because I will never ever date a black female doesn't mean I will not show respect to them. I just find black women of any type aesthetically displeasing. Same with blondes. I don't like blonde hair color.

Does that make me racist? No.


Racism is not about what you feel, but how you handle the people around you.

You don't like the way they look, that's fine.

My gripe is when people refuse to date an entire race based on behavior, which would require hardcore stereotyping. I have a brother who said he'd never date a white woman because they're weak, or some shit like that. I was like, "Dude, how would you even know that?"

Oh bullshit. You can have an inordinate amount of disdain, discontent, and hate for someone of a particular ethnicity/religion/gender but never voice or act on it in any substantial way. It doesn't make it any less racist because you're thinking "nigger" but not saying "nigger" to a black mans face. That's horrible logic.

I don't know what I was thinking venturing to other parts of MKO. Huge mistake on my part and I'll probably never do that again. Truthfully I'm super uncomfortable now. This post got really messy really quickly so I'll just say this.

If you find an ENTIRE race unattractive it's time to reflect on some things and admit some harsh truths about yourself and your prejudices.
If the only time you find someone of that race attractive is when they're emulating the standards of beauty of another race, it's time to reflect on some things and admit some harsh truths about yourself and your prejudices.

There are just so many replies in this thread by people I consider to be friends and awesome folks, but I have a few things to say to share about my experiences as being a white guy with a very white family...
My dad used to say some weird things throughout my time at my parents' home. He once was talking about this at the dinner table when I was a kid about how he didn't understand that one of his blonde students was attracted to two black guys in the classroom. I didn't think anything of it, because I always thought my dad was weird about that anyway. He's said the famous lines that I never thought he'd say too, like, "I have black colleagues, and my favourite soccer player is black...", but I still knew in the back of my mind that what he was saying was off to me. I never told him about one of my exs, who was half white, half black. I even noticed my mom was somewhat similar in that respect, as when I showed her a photo of that gal, she basically said, "she's very pretty, but she's still half black, their culture is different." That kind of disturbed me a little.
After I moved out, I started dating a gal from Trinidad, and my parents flipped their lids. My dad excommunicated me from the family, even after she and I broke up. He refused to answer my phone calls, emails, go into Skype conversations that featured my whole family, even if I'd already seen him in the background walking by... My mom refused to invite her to my parents' home when she came to see me at the airport with them. Eventually, my Trini-gal and I broke up because she'd never felt so targeted and denigrated in her life just because of her skin colour before, and she'd lived in Canada for 2/3s of her life. We're still friends thankfully, as we were before all this drama, but you get the idea here.
Two years later, my parents and I are now on speaking terms after my sister's friend's brother committed suicide. They didn't want to think that anytime, anywhere, something could happen to me, or to them, and that we never managed to fix anything. Now I'm dating an Egyptian Muslim. We've been dating for six months right now, and I've never had such an easy relationship in my life. I even think about having a future with her, even converting just to marry her. With that being said, I plan on bringing it up to my parents, to give them one more chance about this whole thing here and see if they've changed or not. There's a very strong possibility that I'll be excommunicated again because I'm dating her, and I don't care because it's my choice and my right to date whoever I want.
Why am I going on about all this here and revealing such weird and specific details about my relationship with my parents? Because they insist that they are not racist; they just don't want their kids to date somebody of a different culture/religion. Does that mean they aren't? Let that sink in for just a moment, for all those that are basically saying, "I'm not racist, but I would NEVER date this race of people because..." If you have similar feelings as my folks, can sympathise with them, and think that you or your kids will never date somebody of a certain/different race, then you have some soul searching to do.

^^^
Unfortunately, it is all too common for folks to judge whole groups of people simultaneously.

When it comes to physical attraction, visual preference is realized rather than chosen, so it's never at anyone's fault to favor one set of physical features over another. The issue is when a person begins to assume everyone of a particular race looks the same.

Even while I tend to find many white men and many latin women attractive, I can name just as many that I don't. Also, while I less often tend to find those who are black or Asian attractive, I can still point many individuals of those races that I find to be very attractive.

In the end, physical attraction will always vary by individual.

You want MEN eh?



MANS MAN

Uhhh... No.
