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

So guys are not open to what kind of girls we would date? I thought we had been all dragged into an office at some point in time and bollocked about how it is not about appearance we should be attracted by, but personality. If so, we would all be chasing the big Aussie lass from the latest Night at the museum movie. But if we are talking about physical traits, which is all that "Race" could mean. Then I absolutely would date outside my "Race". The reason for this is simple....I'm attracted to women.
