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
-
There are families where I live that won't let there children marry out of there culture. But on the whole the society is pretty mixed.
-
I don't care tbh. If I like you, I like you.
-
If you're a nice person that doesn't treat me like crap I don't care what race you are.
-
Nein!

Edited by PgLx8bitowners: 4/9/2016 12:20:20 PMYeah, I'm a white male and the only person I've ever asked out was a Filipino. But her parents are pretty protective, so she can't date until college (she said yes, her parents said no).
-
This debate is fruitless. Don't bother with it.

Edited by Girraffalope: 4/9/2016 12:40:16 AMLol using bnet kids as an experimental group is only asking for a mediocre report. However I DO have the open mindedness to date someone who isn't of my race however i tend to date my own more so simply because I prefer another white person as my gf and etc. I am not racist however because I mostly date within my race I just have something called a preference and tbh your last reply here was pretty biased as I know loads of people who only date a certain races because that's what they like and they get along just fine with other people so this makes me believe u don't have the necessary education to properly define racism over preference. As for blacls girls I am not attracted to many due to how they act and also because I haven't found one that fits my preference so call me a racist but I apologise for having a preference. As for us guys tbh most guys date outside their race as far as society goes not girls so check ur biased sexist facts again because most of ur points are deeply biased based on limited knowledge. That said I hope you have a good day and I hope you learn something better than to be a troll here to trigger those kids

British girls are my weakness. I only like pale skin women.
-
I won't date in my race
-
Im mean pussy is pussy right
-
No i do not want to date a magikarp [spoiler] inb4magickarp[/spoiler]
-
I have. I've dated a couple latinas, one asian, and one black girl. The rest have been white. As for dating black girls again? Probably not since the last one stabbed me.
-
If they have the "All mighty uterus" then why not
-
I'd date outside my race, but I just generally find my race more attractive
-
I don't mind dating outside of my race, as long as she is physically attractive. Somehow, people still think this makes me a bad person for not wanting to pork ugly chicks.
-
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.
-
Doesn't matter to me what race she is as long as she's pretty with decent personality I don't care.
-
I really don't give a shit
-
Honestly I would rather date someone of another race (human not alien got it this time lol). For some reason it just seems more attractive to me.
-
As I get older, I get more comfortable with the idea of dating any race. As long as the person is kind and we get along. This, however, would require a girlfriend.
-
I would not consider dating a woman outside of my own race. I don't believe my wife would be very happy. ;) On a more serious note though... I have no issue with dating outside of my own race. I'm old enough to remember the first 'known' interracial couple in our area (and I live in a pretty major area). I remember feeling bad for them because even the other students gave them crap CONSTANTLY. I also remember the looks and snarky remarks from the older people when we would hang out together. It was pretty damn rough, to be honest. I have dated women from quite a few different races in my lifetime. No big deal really.
-
I would date outside the human race....I've been looking for a good Sanghelli girl forever. :(
-
I would, but why ruin a good thing ?

Edited by Damion Was Here: 4/9/2016 5:08:04 AMWe are all human. I understand that ignorant people need to put labels on things just to feel unique and different, but does skin color really mean anything significant? No. It doesn't. [spoiler]This way of thinking only leads to petty problems in the world.[/spoiler]
-
No. Whites are superior.
-
Calling people racist for not being attracted to a certain group of people is like calling people racist for having a preference of hair color
