Because I am personally more attracted to my race and get along with them better. I am an Indian. As some will be aware, Indians have many ethhnicities and I am a Bengali. I personally prefer Punjabis, Bengalis, Marwadis and some Madrasis like Tulus, Tamil, Kannada people etc. I was raised in the UK but I am EXTREMELY Indian at heart. I may look, act and dress differently most of the time but in essence I am as Indian as it gets. I am very proud of my Bengali culture and I love to wear saris, I love durga puja, I love roshgulla and sondesh. Perhaps that’s why I love certain South Indians because we have similar clothing and cuisine such as our love for seafood. I love Bengali fish curries like doi mach and muri ghonto as much as I love Mangalorean fish curries. We love our silk saris. I love watching Hindi, Bengali and Marathi language daily soap/TV serials etc. I am also immensely attracted to tall dark handsome men like Sushant Singh Rajput, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Ramp etc. Nobody can beat them. I had a crush on Shah Rukh Khan since I was four years old. I have never had a crush on White men, Black men or any other type of Asian like Mongolians/south east Asians etc. My attraction is mainly South and Central Asian. That means Indians, Afghans, Persians. Most Indians are a mixture of Persian/Western Asia/European and sometimes some people have some African.

Has anyone categorically said to you they will not date a certain race?
Speaking for myself, I usually find men of my own race the most attractive, but I've never ruled out races either. It's all about the individual, not a group of people.
It's not racist to have a preference for your own race. You can't help what you're attracted to and I know plenty of people who have preferences outside their race. There's a different between 'I wouldn't date that race because I don't like them' opposed to 'I tend to be more attracted to white men'.
Personally I don’t care. I’m white. But I have dated Latino, white, Asian, Native American and black. There were some cultural differences and challenges at time. But if I find them attractive enough and they have a decent personality we can work past that.
It’s not racist if you choose not to date a certain race because you don’t find their physical features attractive. It is racist if you have prejudices about how they behave (especially if you didn’t take the time to get to know the individual).
From my observations this is a bigger deal to women than it is to men.
I do date outside my race. My parents tried to brainwash my into believing that we shouldn't date outside our race. But, I am half white and half Asian. Makes my dad a hypocrite after marrying my stepmom. What they really meant is I shouldn't date black women.
I like women of all colors. I could give a damn about skin color. I love diversity.

I have dated Hispanic, Asian, and native American women.
It’s because I’m only attracted to members of my own race. There are some subconscious reasons behind it that I don’t feel on the top of my head but I strongly believe they play in the background of my mind. You should always remember that a normal member of any species wouldn’t want to copulate with something that will downgrade their genetic fitness. I only date to marry and I’m not going to ignore my instincts just to make a point.
1. The kids would be less privileged than me. 2. I didn’t want a kid that looks nothing like me and then complains about it. 3. I didn’t want a kid who is confused about their identity. 4. I wouldn’t be able to identify with my partner’s experience and be able to understand it sometimes 5. I could unintentionally offend my partner without realizing it or I couldn’t feel comfortable just talking about anything with them 6. I don’t want to be associated with libtards 7. I don’t want to receive attention or hatred for dating outside my race. 8. I don’t have the ghetto personality that can handle and combat the hatred. Nor would I want to be associated with any of those ghetto girls who date men that look completely different from them.Actually I did, and it's the best decision I have ever made, not everyone agreed with it, because not only is he a different race but also a different religion. But honestly, we get along pretty well despite our differences. But it's our differences that made our relationship actually flourish and interesting.
We literally never get bored. OBV we have our ups and downs but who doesn't? I think dating something out of your own culture should be considered normal, at the end of the day LOVE IS LOVEI have almost exclusively dated outside of my race besides one person, but here’s what I think the issue is:
Racism.
I think race mixing is a good thing because it helps teach tolerance as well as bring us closer to a world where we accept each other.
We will all be the same color millions of years down the line anyways, avoiding mixing races is pretty stupid.I already have. I nearly married an Indian girl and had kids with her. I, eventually, caught her cheating on me! Oh, well!! HER loss!!
Back in my teens, I was still going by what my prejudiced parents felt and would NEVER date a black girl. In a minor way, I still feel that way but, I've long since seen quite a few I wouldn't mind being with!! I actually had a thing for one who was one of my fans!! I KNOW we hugged but I'm not sure if we actually kissed.
A few years ago, I was playfully acting like I was in love with another black girl I used to work with. She knew I was just playing but would let me hug her and sometimes even give her a kiss on the cheek. She had a boyfriend so, I wasn't about to take it any farther than that.
Otherwise, I fell in love with a Bulgarian girl but we never got past talking online, sadly. She WASN'T a scammer, it was legit!I wouldn’t say I wouldn’t date someone the same race as me because I didn’t like them but because every African American male I’ve come across are rude to me or have something going on with them that makes me dislike them. Like I can admit if I find an attractive black male but most times it just doesn’t click.
I already have.. dated Natives, German, African, and Korean didn't work and thats okay... Right now dating British... I am part Scottish, Irish and Ukrainian.. so even tho were both white our ancestors were on two different sides of history.. love comes in all shapes and sizes
Dating is fine but not reproduce.
Sometimes dating your own race has ups and downs. One up is there’s lots of communication between the two of you that never has to be said or put mind to, it’s simply mutually understood. Everyone should be polite and kind to others preferences because we are all allowed to love who we love ❤️I personally will date whatever race, I don’t really have a preference. One of my crushes was white, and I dated a Hispanic or I guess Afro-Latino guy for the first time. He was half Dominican and half Salvadorian. My parents married within their own race. I know my dad dated all kinds of different girls. For me it’s preference, I don’t discriminate, if I find you attractive and interesting and we vibe pretty well then I’m down.
This doesn't apply to me. I don't care about race. It's an arbitrary and stupid trait. I do however care about personality and looks. I'd date any race of woman who was right for me, but most women won't be compatible with me, nor will like me. I suspect average black women are the least compatible with me.
I noticed I’m mostly attracted to redheads which are usually Caucasian. I don’t know why I’m attracted to them. I just am. But also my parents like to make racist jokes and if I bring a partner of another race home, I don’t want my parents to make them uncomfortable with those jokes.
A persons, race, ethnicity, sexuality should not come in to it.
it’s the person you are dating.
yes I’ve dated various ethnicities in the past, but it’s been the fact it’s a pretty girl at the bar, out shopping etc that has interested me, not that she is of Indian descent, or Kenyan etc etc.
my preference is for Red heads, which considering I live in an area where Blonde is very much the common colour, makes it more of a unique sort of thing.I'll date outside my race. No not only. I just don't consider race to be an important part of the "equation" if I find someone attractive, and I consider their personalities to be great then that's halfway enough for me. Next come our believes and wants for the future, but what race they are will probably never be part of the reason for dating someone.
My Boyfriend is not my own kind. He is Actually Russian and very different from any othera I have dated. I think its true what they say about “Culture” and “Cultural Differences”
Well I’m a guy so I take what I can get I’m not gonna tell a girl who wants to fuck no your Korean i only fuck black girls... that’s just not realistic
I’m pretty sure most guys feel the same I mean look at my great x4 grandpa he was super racist and still cheated on his wife with his slave my great x4 grandmother
pussy is pussy😂😂I’ve dated black and Asian before and I don’t have any problem with any race or country 🏳️🌈❤️
Personally I would not generally consider seeking a romantic relationship with someone from another racial group due to seeing the amount of prejudice they face especially mixed-race children. Having said that if I met the right person and the feelings we had for each other were strong enough I would not reject it purely based on those reasons.
I'm open to dating someone of any race, as long as I find them personally attractive and I like their personality then it's not an issue for me.
I date people of any race (including elves) if I find them attractive
As someone who's pretty sure she's mixed race, I don't think I'm in a good place to say that I wouldn't date outside my race lol
In fact, I have dated outside my nationality before haha. Love does not care about ethnicity. I'm sure I will keep dating guys from other countries with other 'métissage' in the future.
