Soooo this week's topic in my sociology class is [u]race and ethnicity[/u]
You can take this test to see which race you associate things with

Where I live, you don't see mixed couples a lot.
And guys aren't very open to what kinda girl they would date
Too many times have I been told "You're pretty, but I don't date[i] black [/i]girls."
So yeah, it still matters in some places, does it matter to you? Would you maybe go for an Asian girl and not a black girl? Is it the culture or the physical traits that scare you away? Does it matter what your family thinks?
I'd like to share the results in my class discussion, thanks.
Edit:
Yes I'm a black girl, equivalent to a unicorn apparently
My parents have been together for 30yrs SO yes I have a -blam!-ing dad
I have been dating a white guy 4 1/2 years
However him being white has nothing to do with it, I actually don't have strong physical attraction to him.
I base my attraction on masculinity, not the color of someone's skin.
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RACE AND ETHNICITY PLEASE
-
Probably. I do have my personal physical preferences, but I'd probably still give it a shot.
-
-
Yep. Her family wasn't a fan of me being white.
-
Race doesn't matter to me
-
Yes, especially Latina women. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Edited by Mechanical Mercy: 4/8/2016 6:39:05 PMI'm an Alaskan native and never have I dated a white person or someone from my heritage. (From other heritages yes and some oriental). It really is a preference of choice.
-
I dated a Indonesian New Zealander that argues she's not white if that counts.
-
Does being civil partnershiped to a ginger count?? LOL

I don't see what's wrong with dating someone outside your own race.
-
I thought you meant alien races at first...
-
Really just depends on who it is, how they stand on things, etc. The things I care about
-
Hell yeah especially Spanish chicks
-
-
Yeah, I would.
-
WE ARE THE 4% Of course I would. Most people here would be lucky to get any girl. [spoiler]Don't hurt me[/spoiler]
-
Skin color is too shallow of a reason to not date someone for me anyways. For me, its all about their face and their personality. I don't want to date a girl who has a manlier face than me. (Very shallow of me, I know) For personality, I don't care if the girl looks like the image of a goddess, if she has a real stuck-up, bitchy personality, she might as well be the ugliest girl in the world to me. I am a sucker for the gentle, sweet (possibly shy) types. Something about them just draws me to them.
-
Black and Spanish women have curves like wet noodles[spoiler]so yeah, I'm in there[/spoiler]
-
When its a girl, no is not an option
-
I have dated a lot of different girls with different backgrounds. The only ethnicity I would stay away from is Hispanic. This is an opinion formed from experience. You don't date a Hispanic woman, you date her entire family.
-
If a black man wants to date inside his race, that's acceptable. And if a Asian man wants to date inside his race, that's acceptable. But if I want to date in my race, the white race, I'm called the R word.
-
To me it depends on race some races appeal to me others no
-
Never dated a white girl. Much to the dismay of my entire family.
-
Why wouldn't I?
-
Edited by qy: 4/8/2016 6:29:29 PM"Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for European American compared to African American" lol i put it down in the form that i slightly prefer white people over black people. Guess i know myself fairly well. I dated a black girl for a few years. We looked funny together cause I was pale as the snow and she was dark like coffee grounds. Wouldn't mind dating one again. I like all colors.

If their personality is straight up awesome, then I don't care what ethnicity they have.
