Why It's Hard To Talk About Attraction In Race And Culture - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Irkalla;43777456]Nay! Tis not so! For real though, I don't see how what I said would be any different from "I'm not into dating russian women because of X cultural thing." Believe it or not, blacks are their own group of people with their own cultural heritage and cultural attitudes. Who would have thought?[/QUOTE] trying to boil down an entire race to a single culture will always feed into a racist caricature, and that's if it isn't done for that express purpose. you can't just invent a bunch of bad attributes and apply them to black ladies and not see how that's racist as shit

i find it gross when people fetishize asian women, im vietnamese so it affects me more personally i came across white guys thinking asian women are just pretty, bat their eye lids short submissive wives and it iffs me in such a wrong way

[QUOTE=Xystus234;43767844]Yeah that happened to me. Dated an Iranian girl who couldn't even come out to see me because her family demanded that she marry an Iranian man. Haunts me to this day, seeing as she told me she had to cut me off because her "Fiance" was getting jealous. Loved that girl to death. [B]This is one of the reasons why Islamic culture needs to be wiped off the face of the earth.[/B][/QUOTE] I did not see this part coming

Maybe racists' brains work differently but I can't really fathom how anyone can look at a group of people whose differences are literally only skin deep and think it's a good idea to start judging them differently Last I checked our "self" is defined by what's in our brains, our bodies are just brain cars

i'm half asian and I find other half-asians most attractive. After that, whites and asians what does it mean

[QUOTE=Eric95;43781643]i'm half asian and I find other half-asians most attractive. After that, whites and asians what does it mean[/QUOTE] I'm 75 percent Asian, what would that make me?

she better be asian else im blazing

[QUOTE=Raidyr;43781666]Racism could be solved if we just transplanted our brains into robot bodies and spent our days praising the Omnissiah.[/QUOTE] Then there would be those who praise Omnissiah "wrong" in the eyes of the majority, and then they will get separated into a group, will get painted into other colors and the thing will repeat itself. Then robots would have to invent living tissue to transplant their brains into.

But no amount of being objective is going to overcome my personal experiences and observations. But hey, I don't rule out the possibility that Mrs. Right could be black. I think she could be anything, really. Do I actively seek such a relationship? No, because I have a set of preconceived notions that probably aren't fair, but I still hold them.

[QUOTE=Dr.C;43766794]I'm a spic and I prefer asian women. Let's now discuss our race and which race we prefer[/QUOTE] Every race has its share of hotties and notties.

[QUOTE=Sungrazer;43783540]Every race has its share of hotties and notties.[/QUOTE] However the size of that share can and will vary hugely depending on one's preferences.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;43769198]There's a purple woman due to a weird skin disease out there somewhere whose year you've just made[/QUOTE] Ooh, actually, I'm afraid I can't abide purple women. They're lazy and entitled and don't believe their actions have consequences. It's just a cultural thing.

I like asians. Probably cause my parents didnt pay a lot of attention to me and let me be raised by Playstation and Anime

Do you think I'm a racist because I don't get a raging hard-on when I see an athletic black guy or something?[/QUOTE] Attempting to justify something to yourself by attributing it to immutable, genetic causes is a classic method of rationalization. Maybe if you had bothered trying to back it up with something other than your personal opinion it might have been at least a little meaningful. Complaining about a rating is the best way to ensure getting more of that rating, by the way. edit: But if it makes you feel any better; no, I don't think you're racist based on the little you've shared, if we have to resort to binary qualifications like that. I still don't know what to make of people who claim ethnic preferences, especially when they invoke the race concept in the process. All I know is I think it's extremely hand-wavy to claim "it's just preference" and leave it at that, as if that's an acceptable conclusion to anything.

Also you make it sound like having those feelings is wrong, but it's not a conscious choice it's just how I feel when I see different people. I didn't attribute it to something immutable either I said that I think my preference on blondehair/blueeyes is probably down to society(which isn't immutable) and I said I think the complete lack of attraction to Black guys might be a mix of genetics and society because in my country's society there is good looking Black guys in TV Shows, Newspapers, Magazines etc just like there is the good looking White guys so I don't think it can be completely down to society because all my life I was exposed to hot Black guys the same as White guys. If it was all society, there should still be an attraction there because there was not too much of a difference between them? I don't see what causes there can be beyond Society/Culture and Genetic so it leaves just the possibility that it could be a genetic influence? I wasn't making any conclusion as to why I feel this or attributing the feelings to anything and I don't know that much about the subject as I said in my post I don't really know why I feel like this, I just know a couple possibilities and I know my feelings. [QUOTE=Scrappa;43773273]I dunno.[/QUOTE] You most likely know more about this subject than me so maybe there is another possibility that I didn't think about which you can offer. In those posts I was just giving my completely honest thoughts, I wasn't trying to make a point or trying to argue or anything like that, so that's why I was a bit annoyed to get a load of dumb ratings.

[QUOTE=Scrappa;43772863]I'm White European, gay, and have never found a black guy attractive. I can see a black guy who is blatantly fit or healthy, or whatever, but just feel no kind of sexual attraction there. [/QUOTE] wow, it's almost as if you're very racist.

[QUOTE=sp00ks;43788234]wow, it's almost as if you're very racist.[/QUOTE] I will refer you to an earlier post I made. [QUOTE=Scrappa;43783473]Do you think I'm a racist because I don't get a raging hard-on when I see an athletic black guy or something?[/QUOTE] It's like if I called you a homophobe because you don't get a raging boner every time you see a gay guy. Clearly you hate him and that's why you aren't physically attracted to him, just like I hate black people and am racist because I'm not physically attracted. Right?

[QUOTE=sp00ks;43788234]wow, it's almost as if you're very racist.[/QUOTE] Er... Or he just personally doesn't find them attractive?
