Online dating study shows racial prejudices can be easily altered - Polidicks

I'm dating a black girl that I met on OKcupid. My grandparents would be shocked, if they were racist and knew what the internet was. I probably would not have otherwise, simply because white folks are the huge majority where I live. [editline]7th November 2013[/editline] I can't say that I have a strong racial preference for women, though. I have a healthy appreciation for hot babes of all ethnicities.

[QUOTE=Swilly;42789803]What.[/QUOTE]... What? You've never done that before? It's great, trust me, especially when you use epoxy. Nothing says "I love you" like Devcon 2 Ton® Epoxy for all of your hilarious relationship pranks.

I can kinda see this. I'm far more interested in white girls than any other race; though not exclusively.

I like girls of all races, although I do have somewhat of a preference for asian women. Not a strong one or a fetish or anything, I just think asian facial features look nice. Probably has something to do with me being half asian myself. The girl I'm in love with has the exact same racial mix as me so maybe it's just a matter of familiarity or wanting to match, I don't know

you dont have to be asian to dress like sailor moon and thats really the only thing i look for in a woman

[QUOTE=JumpinJackFlash;42789790]Didn't you also say in another thread that it would be really frowned upon if an Indian woman got involved with a foreigner/some guy of another race? I hope I am mistaken, because Indian women are pretty much gorgeous. Entirely unrelated, but how mad do Indian women get when you glue plates on the ceiling?[/QUOTE] It's a horrible double standard, actually - a lot of conservative Indian parents might get a little upset if their son marries a white gal, but if an Indian woman does the same, it's generally a bad thing, but it's really a very big double standard. Here are the reasons why that is : 1. [B](Potential) Loss of Culture[/B] - What usually happens in most Indian households is that while the daughter grows up, the mother usually teaches her about all the various rituals, recipes for religious occasions, etc. that need to be done apart from other customs and tradition. So, if she gets married to a white guy, it is assumed by the family that their cultural traditions and customs end with them (if they have no other daughters) 2. [B](Potential) Loss of Religion[/B] - this is something of a serious matter for Indian families,especially when it comes to Interfaith and Interracial marriages. Apart from point number 1 (Loss of Culture, because a lot of customs and traditions are tied into religion), it also becomes an uncomfortable topic for most Indian families, especially on the topic of how future grand children are raised. For an Indian guy, on the other hand, there is none of this stuff but the family does get upset about him not marrying an Indian girl for the above two reasons (preserving the culture). But as with all things, this is changing as well - a lot of Indians are now settling abroad and due to the big differences in being raised in, say, America, and India, a lot of Indian Americans are open to relationships with anyone.

[QUOTE=thisispain;42793955]you dont have to be asian to dress like sailor moon and thats really the only thing i look for in a woman[/QUOTE] sure, but if the girl is asian she'll more closely match a rough approximation of what sailor moon would look like if she was real and when you think about it, that's all that really matters

[QUOTE=sgman91;42789352]Good, let's move on to ad hominems! YAY! I always provide an argument and try as hard as I possibly can to avoid things like ad hominems. I honestly couldn't care less if you always disagree with me.[/QUOTE] Is there such thing as a logical fallacy in which you point out logical fallacies instead of making an argument

I feel like my half-Asianness is acting like a handicap out here.

I prefer white girls v:v:v

[QUOTE=Jeep-Eep;42788334]And how many non-whites/asians are born rich? Edit:It doesn't do much about dumbshits what see a rich nonwhite and think s/he got the cash through summat criminal either.[/QUOTE] Ooh my god I wasn't born rich therefore that privelege does not extend to me It doesn't matter if every born rich person ever was white, because that's not based on race, but on class. If I'm not born to wealth, then it does not affect me in any way.

This is true, wealth does not need to be a part of privilege. It can come in many forms.

While we're on the subject of Indian women though, the girl I plan on asking out sometime next week is Indian I don't know why, but I've always liked Indian women.

I dated a black woman before and it was a bad experience. I avoid rachet chicks all together now. So, you can probably find me at the dating site i found at [url]http://www.freedatinghelper.com/reviews/ihookup/[/url] most of the time.

Its not about white people or black people. its all about a person's choice and priorities. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Dumb bump" - Craptasket))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=person11;42781246]Nah Reverse Racism does not really exist. Horrible cases of discrimination do exist and can't be forgiven just because it is the opposite of the usual and much more common violence (like the Trayvon Martin attacks and the Rodney King riots). For example, the rape epidemic in our society is caused by its patriarchal structure. The biggest worry women have all around the world (less so in the Western world) is violence by men, notably rape. Women can rape men, and do sometimes, something MRA's love to remind us of. With rape being the product of misogyny in our society, one could say that women raping men is "reverse misogyny" or "misandry". This is not the case. These are individual attacks against men by terrible women, not a reflection of a power structures in society. Though there are tons of arguments to be had, including the flinging of dictionary definitions, about what constitutes discrimination and racism/misogyny, there is a clear difference between crimes that are more or less "sanctioned" or rather naturally expected by society, and ones that are not.[/QUOTE] To be honest I very much doubt that traditional typical attack rapes are the product of a male dominating society. A number of sexual pressures, sadly incredibly common, are. (forced weddings, date rapes and a number of other typical examples) But your traditional attack rape? It's often done as a way to establish power over someone, a way to be dominant. And it has very little to do with patriarchy. Hence talking about the rape epidimic always seems plain wrong to me. Sexual pressure and violence? Yes. Likewise if you look into places where mass rapes tend to be common, you're also looking at places where death, murders and other crime aspects are common and rapes are merely another aspect of the overall broken society. A behaviour which you would probably see regardless what kind of society it was beforehand (matriarchy or patriarchy or an egalitarian society). For the record misogyny, misandry as well as a protective view (you can call this a patriarchal or matriarchal view) of either gender has two forms. a) personal - the person who hates, views the other gender as inferior b) social, also known as systemic. When an entire society is geared up towards this view. As such a terrible man or a terrible woman can easily discriminate, be misogynistic or misandric even if their view is only marginal. Confusing personal and social forms into one is just wrong. Admittedly it seems very common in the US. (hence the whole view that a minority cannot be racist). It's rarer outside of the US though were often you have both forms considered seperately.

[QUOTE=Elspin;42780964]It's racist either way, although to be honest if someone is dumb enough to blame white people [b]born over 100 years after slavery was abolished[/b] do you really want to date them anyway?[/QUOTE] Yeah because slavery from 100 years ago is the only thing we ever did to African-Americans. oh wait

[QUOTE=person11;42780537]It's not racism. It's sociology with a dollop of history. [/QUOTE] Sweet, so this means I can discriminate english people on behalf on what they[I] all[/I] did to the welsh over the past few centuries :downs:

Twice resurrected thread, yay. I saw this data in image charts format and found it very very interesting. Attraction comes from so many different layers it is hard to pinpoint one thing over another, but race surely play a biiig part in it. Like, I have no idea how many times I tried to rationalize my attraction for this or that girl and it all just boiled down to 'she's cute, dunno, would bang'. As a caucasian (latin? Don't even know if italians are included in 'whiteness' nowadays) asian girls doesn't hit no weakspot for me, and if we're talking indian-asian I don't recall being attracted to one ever. data also should be taken with a pnch of salt as it only shows that portion of demograhic that uses OKcupid, so a whole bunch of age-ranges are cut out of it. (unless teens and people in their 20s use it too, over here online dating sites are only used by adults)
