Dating other races #8
First I would like to agree with Ashley on this subject. After reading her post, I agree that if I want to date someone that I don't look at her race or ethnicity or religion. However, I have no experience with dating outside my race and wouldn't know what it feels like people are giving you dirty looks while going to dinner or a movie with a girl from another race. If I was dating a girl from another race, I can sadly see my parents and many other parents not liking the fact that im dating outside my race. I believe its mostly a generational thing but I could be wrong.

I think dating outside the race can be a beautiful thing. I would love to just date anyone I want and race not be an issue but it is. I always look at race and that's only because I have a certain preferance. I have nothing against others, I just prefer to date a black man or a man with some of the same ethnic background as I. Others see my preferance as being "racist" if I don't give others outside my ethnicity a chance. If my preferance is racist, then I guess me not waiting to date someone short is racist agaisnt the Sea Level is Above Us Organization, not wanting to date someone on a sports team is racists against the "We Love Sports Community," not waiting to date someone because they chew with their mouth open is racists agaisnt the Open Mouth Chewing Society and so on. I think we forget sometimes that people have a preferance.
