Why do you think people tend to stick to their own race/ethnicity usually when dating, mating or finding someone "special"? (Page 2)

[RicFlair312]

When I date outside my race , it's usually because I want someone different from my norm.

[Anonymous]

Cultural reason

And fear or talking to another race

Or fear of what parent would think

Fear or what other will think.

[EnglishEuropean]

Voted D. Most of the people I meet are white so those are who I've ended up dating.

[RobEurope]

Because its simply biology. The mixing pot ideal is in fact racist.

[Asker]

How is it racist when it's inclusive & accepting?

[RobEurope]

Because its obligated.

[Asker]

It's not obligated. There's no law (unfortunately/fortunately) that says you HAVE to marry someone outside your race. In fact, there's no law at all that says you have to marry. It's a social issue, an interpersonal one. There's no law that says you have to work either but they you have bills to pay, otherwise, you'll get kicked out of your apartment or house, won't eat, etc.

There's a law against murder but not interpersonal relationships. Heck, divorce is legal under ANY circumstances too. So is gay marriage.

[Asker]

I meant, "THEN you have bills to pay, etc." not "They" lol, dumb grammatical err.

[RobEurope]

The mixing pot ideology forced people to be interracial by saying they are racist if they dont. It was once in the law in Brazil. Dissastrous policy. Now mixing pot ideologists use different methods lile manipulation and guilt.

I’m a guy pussy is pussy that’s how I like to believe my grandpa felt when he cheated on his white wife with my grandma (his slave)

[Guy13]

Because it is familiar

[Asker]

Like I said. If you were a white dude that grew up in the hood, you would think THAT was familiar and it wouldn't surprise me to find you dating (and even mating) with a black chick or some other hood minority!

[Guy13]

Perhaps, what frustrates you about it? You have a crush on a particular skin color or race and they are not reciprocating?

[Asker]

Well nowadays, people of all races tend to be picky but yeah, I've had a few rejections. They didn't have to say it to me out loud but it was obvious for a few of the rejections, it was because I was the "wrong" race! I CANNOT CONTROL THIS! So yeah, it does hurt and make me angry sometimes.

And if you wanna know, I'm a Filipina Asian and I've dated in the past a few white guys, but it wasn't because of my skin color that we broke up, for the most part, thankfully. I am trying things online, but even black guys are being racist, yet I'm SERIOUS about finding someone else!

[Guy13]

If you make me pancit, lumpia, and the liver with cows blood on rice then “you got yourself a white guy”…. I lived in a port town too-Navy.

[Asker]

omg lol.

[Guy13]

🙃🙃🙃

[Uptowngirl88]

Bc they can. Next subject please

[Asker]

Yes I know they can but what are the reasons behind it usually?

[Jackson619]

I rather date out of my race

[Jackson619]

What about you

[Waldoe]

people want children that look like them

[Asker]

I will say this again. Your children will look like you regardless of who you procreate with. It's already in your genes. They would probably just be a dark/lighter you. The difference is just skin tone.

Cultural relatability in a nutshell

Personal preferences.

I dunno
