Black woman single cos the black men are in jail - would you marry outside your race?

[The Stranger]

I personally believe it matters how the woman looks like or what race she is from.

Or do you argue that there are no white women I could love that has a fascinating character, so I am bound to go black (and never go back?).

OF COURSE looks or race is not the most important matter in a long relationship, but hey, the relationship wont even start if she is not smoking hot. And white. Get my point?

I do not get turned on by black women. I do not want brown children. If anyone else wants black girls and kids not looking like him, then by all means go ahed! It's just not my thing.

well i can understand that u are more attracted to the people you grow up around which are usually of same race. but i dont see why the "race" should be more important than the actractiveness.

i mean u have hot ... girl and hot white girl, the first is nice the latter a *****. will you chose the latter because she is white?

In my ninth grade, I was known as "the swede in the ninth"... So no, the people I grew up with were not of the same race.

When it comes to attractiveness..

I just dont find black people attractive... Asians and south americans I do find attractive, but the cultural difference is HUGE, 'specially with asian women.

I much prefer to corrupt a good ol' catholic girl...

Somewhat related to that point is an interesting cultural phenomenon I have noticed. Most black women in American entertainment do everything they can to look like white women.





Those two could very well be white girls with heavy tans.

What does this say about our society... about our standard of beauty?

[Kadagar_AV]

PJ, a very good point!

I very much hope people understand that I talk about personal preference, and not about a racistic view at large.

Hey, I wish I was turned on by black women, would have broadend my playing field (before I had my English rose).

But if you look at society at large, yes, black women are not as lucrative on the market as others. And from what I have seen, nor are black men (if anyone have other experiences please do share! I can only speak from a very personal standpoint, and from what I have read/seen/heard black men aren't exactly seen as a "catch" when it comes to intriducing your new spouse to the family, I would blame bigotry on this, and if not, well maybe they have some other reason, like statistics or whatever).

Hmmm... I forgot I was on an american forum with american standards!

Sorry for refering to black people as black people... But "afro-american" just don't jibe on an international board. And you can't really say africans as then you have to include people from, say, Tunisia or South Africa.

So let's go with "blacks".

[Shaka_Khan]

The African character (Sheva Alomar) in Resident Evil 5 is hot.

I live in an area where there are no African-American women. So it's very unlikely that I'll date one anytime soon.

From what I've seen, Northern and Eastern Europeans, Central Asians, and East Asians have the most hottest women in proportion to their entire population. Particularly, Finland, Sweden, Slovenia, Poland, Czech Republic, Iran, Kazakhstan, Korea, and Vietnam have the prettiest women. It's ironic that these countries are some of the least known to the rest of the world. They don't do well in Miss Universe pageants either. These countries keep choosing women who are average looking in their own countries to participate in the pageant for some reason (maybe money or politics?).

It's not an American board. And the poll is about multi-racial relationships, the accompanying story is specifically about the plight of African American women. So if you are talking about your preferences, feel free to use black, or African. If you want to discuss why American women of African descent can't find life partners, use African American. Or black. Whatever.

PJ raises a good point about women in entertainment. But I think a similar thing happens with Hispanic women (watch novellas on Telemundo for examples), so that could just be promoters and programming execs tainting the process with their prejudices.

frankly i am with you on the whole black/ afro-american/person-of-colour knicker-twistiness, i have no time for it.

black white asian whatever, i refuse to pander to the sensitivities of deeply inadequate people.

well ill let it slide. this time. because ive been saying whites. but dont make it a habbit. seriously, its important to phrase correctly.

[Beskar]

I think we should go with "pinkskins" when we describe ourselves.

(You get +1 balloon if you get the reference)

Just incase no one got the reference, it was Star Trek Enterprise, when they met the Andorians (Blue skinned people) and they called humans "pink skins". What made it even more amusing, when they met the "black" crew member, and he still called him a pinkskin, same with the Asian crewmember, etc. I think it goes to show that we aren't too different afterall.

Though at the same time, "whites" are not too keen to keep their "whiteness", rather they like to have some tan.

thats true for banks, much less for beyonce i believe but besides the point. somehow girls always want that what they dont have. curved girls want less curves, thin girls want more or less thin, straight hair wants curls and the other way around. pale girls want tan, tanned girls want pale, asian girls want to be white. etc. almost everywhite girl i know would spend ages on the beach trying to get a tan, knowing perfectly well the past thousand attempts ended in a burn. when i was in asia my friend was dumbfounded by all the whitening commercials showing skin from darker to paler. he thought it was stupid untill i told him that the excact same commercials of the same branch were shown in holland, but then the other way around. i know of girls in africa who try to bleach their skins... ignorant, but looking globally not a very uncommon phenomena, only in other parts of the world they have more sophisticated rescourses.

for men i guess its a bit different, i havent seen many men really try to be black or white, except that they might dress different... but i believe its stupid to say that armani suites belong to whites and every black who owns one wants to be white and that baggy pants are only for blacks and every white who wears one wants to be a ghetto black boy...

so the point made by PJ is again very subjective and relative and onesided. because there is also a tendecy of bottomlifting, bigger lips, showing curves, tanning etc. but ofcourse in a mixed society one can only suspect that there is a very wide scala of desires. and as a superstar to reach that wide audience they will try to meet everyones demand.

im not saying that you have to find black, asian, latinas etc attractive. im just saying (in general) that i believe that when you find the abstract epithet, race/religion/possibly even sexe/etc, more important than the reality, girl in front of you, in any way, you are not going about it the right way.
