Is Everyone Into Interracial Now a Days???!

[SwordofFlame]

From my perspective living in one of the most diverse cities in the US (New York). It seems white men are a lot more open to interracial dating than white women are. All you need to do is walk down the street and you can see exactly what I'm talking about. It is a lot tougher for us minority men to interracial date even if we wanted to.

[Erik30]

What propaganda? I guess someone is pissed off about Richonne

[LookAtThisPOst]

Sometimes, I'd occasionally see a white, blonde haired woman expressing that she'll ONLY correspond with black men.

 

Sure, you can toss around the cliche'd reasons we've all heard when it comes to this, but I find it odd they'd not be open to their own race and just of African-Americans?

 

One expressed in her profile how she'd received gripes from white men about it, too.

[Revolver]

It's more hookup/casual than actual long term dating and marriage. You see this a lot in college where young people experiment

It takes courage to state your traditional personal preferences in today's brainwashed, politically correct, mob phycology, country.

 

I have friends of all races, I'm a guy and have endeavored to score with women of all races (heck, when I was a teen I'd of done half the female creatures I saw on star trek type shows). But for serious relationships I stay within my race.

 

I don't feel anyone should be labeled a racist for not being attracted to other races.

You are so right! It really does, some people act as if I said I was going to punt a newborn at dusk or something.

 

Gesh.

I actually wish more women would do this on their OLD profiles. Saves me time from sending them a message.

Everyone into interracial dating and social pressure?

 

I have no idea what you're talking about. Most, like over 90% of white women date and only date white men. I think this is all in your head.

[lana-banana]

Kiddo, you didn't say you preferred people of your own race. You said that people of other races couldn't fully participate in the culture where they lived, suggested that interracial couples were faking being happy, and implied the existence of interracial couples in the media was "propaganda". That's pretty damn racist. For someone with such a big heart you're awfully narrow-minded.

 

Interracial dating is not a "trend". You see more of it now because people no longer feel a need to hide it and the media industry is no longer (entirely) dominated by white men. Today more diverse stories are being told in movies, TV, books, etc. We can see stories of people we'd never seen or even thought of before; minorities are no longer invisible and automatically deemed inferior. It's an amazing thing. Embrace it.

 

Also, speaking of DC and interracial couples, can we agree that Kerry Washington is utterly flawless? I'm a straight woman but I could admire her beautiful face all day long. It's no wonder the fictional president of the free world is in love.

[FleshNBones]

OP, I don't see what the issue really is here ....you like dating ppl of your own culture/race, so the answer is obvs to date ppl of your own culture/race, right? I doubt anyone will condemn you for that, assuming you're not a member of a hate group and don't go around preaching racial 'purity' etc.

 

Or are you trying to make some larger point?

I think the OP made an observation, and came to LS for a sanity check.

Basically, she wanted to know if she was seeing things, or if that was just her imagination.

This is kind of like Stepford Wives.

I find it both sad and creepy.

[Gold Pile]

Pushing? Prodding? Propaganda? Who is demanding you leave your same-race significant other and date a black person? What kind of propaganda are you talking about? I guess I missed the part where all the world's governments mandated interracial relationships. Or are you considering media portrayals of interracial relationships are somehow propaganda?

 

This is sadly reminiscent of earlier days during the gay marriage movement, when a tiny minority of people asking for equal rights were called a radical fringe and people would say "I'm not against gay rights, I just don't want it shoved down my throat", as if they would accept gay rights only if it meant never having to look at or think about gay people.

 

As far s propaganda, I think the OP is referring to things like the TV shows and advertisers that portray such relationships as being much common than they are in real life. They do the same thing with gays, they put a gay character or at least a few gay episodes in darn near every sitcom. Sometimes it's funny stuff (Modern Family), but it does give the impression that gays are more prevalent than they're in real life.

 

Anything that gives a one sided distortion of accurate numbers, is something Joseph Goebbels would be proud of.

[WaitingForBardot]

The way I look at it, it's so hard to find someone that you really click with, why then would you reject them simply because of their ethnic or religious or cultural or whatever background. Any relationship that was based on a particular pairing being the in thing wouldn't last too long in any case.

 

OTOH some people are just genetically programmed to desire the exotic. Many westerners find the eastern visual aesthetic to be exotic, and vice versa. The cosmopolitan nature of modern society just makes it easier to find partners that satisfy those desires.

[GunslingerRoland]

I think part of the reason that inter racial couples are more prevalent on TV is because minorities are so underrepresented anyway, the token non white people just get paired with someone. Look at Big Bang Theory... is the fact that Raj only gets paired with white women a promotion of interracial relationships, or just a sign that they don't feel like changing the cast from 90% white.

Um, she's okay looking. I wouldn't call her beautiful. I'm black and I know far prettier women than her that aren't on tv.

[Rejected Rosebud]

Why push all of this interracial mixing propaganda if it is inevitable?

I don't reject interracial relationships.

I reject the pushing, prodding, and outright propaganda.

I have NO idea what on earth you are talking about. There is no "propaganda" about having interracial relationships. Yes there is a lack of a taboo that used to be there. Not very long ago mixed race relationships were rejected by society in USA. Fortunately we have moved past that, at least most of us have.

 

Nobody has to date anybody they don't want to date whether it's because they don't want to date outside their own race, religion, whatever.

Do you honestly believe that the other things portrayed in sitcoms are accurately representing "accurate numbers" or anything else accurate about society? Or that they are in some way socially accountable to do so? They are SITCOMS and TV commercials.

 

Also TV commercials ONLY show who they are trying to sell to. If they're showing interracial or gay couples, the advertisers must thing that's a viable market share.

I agree. Kerry Washington is average pretty.

Since the 1930's, people with an agenda have used entertainment (and other venues)electronic media as a tool to tout/support their beliefs. Goebbels, Stalin, McCarthy, NBC, Castro, Saddam, and NPR.

Advertisers do not want to run afoul of the brainwashed politically correct activists.

Lol @ sanity check.

Yes, that was is my point.

 

I guess it is just the areas I have been in where I see these couples. I seriously don't think most of the ones I've seen where merely from love. It is like people are trying to avoid something, like being judged for liking someone that looks like you, it is weird.

 

Yes I have seen it with mostly African American people which makes it even more disturbing, (not saying that African Americans are disturbing, I just want to say because my words will get misinterpreted).

 

Why is the media so focused on showing particular couples together? I don't get it.

 

I am not here to say I hate them or anything, that definitely was not my point.

 

And also I feel that when people outside my race express interest, it shows a level of unhealthy boldness. I want to say maybe you should get to know me as a person before assuming I'm going to give you a chance because of your race.

[Lordsnow]

Lol they aren't pressured by anything OP all of those people you see are either together because of attraction or love simple..society does not have that much power on people anymore, people are free to be themselves. The media shows things that are more prevalent, like that most interracial couples are black and white. when the people outside your race show interest in you, they don't consider your race OP they just see a woman they find attractive it's you who seems to count their race and find it unhealthy that they would approach you as you are a particular race.

[Bobbi7]

You are posting that question as if there is something wrong with it. So what? You might as well post, "Is gay marriage and target going gender neutral ok now a days?" You sound like an underlying, I don't know, racist possibly? Or why did Kim Kardashian marry a black guy? Are you part of the stormfront forums?

I just want to know if people feel like I do, I got my answer. I don't care if you think I'm racist.

 

To put it lightly I wouldn't be allowed in stormfront. Even if I were the right shade, I wouldn't go in there anyway...

What does this even mean? How is it any bolder than someone of the same race expressing interest? Are you seriously suggesting that non-whites ought to know their place around you and not dare to presume that you might be interested? Are you sure you didn't mean to post this on Stormfront?

 

Anyways, the answer to your question is yes. There are plenty of people who feel the way you do. And they're racists.

Ahh, one reason why I, as a white woman, almost prefer to date outside my race. Would rather date an open-minded man of latin, middle-eastern, Indian, African or Asian descent than an ignorant white guy any day of the week.
