i've asked myself this question all the time. i stay away from chicks within my race because of this. though its kinda funny since in the racism in latin america is nowhere near as hardcore as in the usa. but to me i think its just another product of the narcissism that runs through hispanic women.
hispanic women are from my point of view the most self centered women in the world, so to me they make skin color such a huge factor because (and i have noticed this from my own experiences) they think that if there being seen with a black man people around her are going to assume that she is a hoodrat or just another push over hoe. they probably won't date a white men because from their point of view white men are boring and lame. and of course there not going to go after Asians because of that stigma they have of supposedly all being short, too feminine and having small penises.
once again everything i said was from my experiences since im latino myself and i was race in a heavily hispanic community. im not say they are true.01 Reply

You know, I'm sick and tired of Black guys claiming that Latinas are racist when the Latinas don't want to date them. And to be totally honest, it's often dark skin Black guys that make such claims.
Yet, hypocritically, if given the option, these same guys will ignore and reject most dark skin women, or most notably, Black women, to date a fair skin Latin woman. Wait, come to think of it, I cannot recall seeing a Black guy pursue a dark skin or Black Latina. The truth.
Then, like you, they complain when fair skin Latin women prefer and want to date fair skin guys. Go figure, right! It leads me to question their motives.
Is it fair to say that these type of guys are racist or color struck?20 Reply
Mexican here. I'm not racist at all and I've dated a few boys from different races.
To be honest, I think you're doing a bit of the same by generalizing like that. Some people treat people differently based on multiple factors, some don't. We can't just say "all the latinas are racist" because that's impossible. Maybe you haven't have luck yet, or maybe the way you came across to them wasn't entirely appealing or something.
If anything, I'll tell you this: Women here absolutely LOVE American white men. They rain down any white Americans that come over here. I'm not even joking, our native guys here don't have a chance if there's an American at a party. If you're dead set in meeting a Latina, I can almost guarantee you'll find someone here provided you know your way around girls.02 Reply- +1 y
What about black americans?
Like bubbletrouble said " it's not racist to not date outside your race". Many Hispanic women, especially those that are darker-skinned are very open to dating and marrying black men. I know many Cuban and Puerto Rican women from New York who have dated and/or married black men.
I think it also has to deal with how closely they relate to their own culture. If they are very family-oriented and their family still holds many Hispanic values, then any other culture, not just black, is foreign to them and they would like to date/ marry someone who will fit in with their family and culture. Black people have a very strong culture and identify very closely with it. Just saying it might be a reason why.10 Reply

I'm Latin but seriously... What you said is simply not true, and it's hypocrite. Are you saying that ALL Latin girls don't like black guys? Did you research this? Did you ask this to a considerable number of Latin girls and they said no, I don't like black guys, for you to come to this conclusion?
And YOU are the one racist here. You are criticizing Latin woman for picking certain races, and YOU are doing it. Why do you want to date a Latin? Why not a black, Asian or European?
And no one nowadays is 100% one race, just saying.
This question was ridiculous.34 Reply- +1 y
I'm just saying because most of the attractive latinas either date other latinos or white like their superior than everyone else. Go to dating sites like match.com or Latinamericancupid. com and see what the hell I'm talking about. Its bad enough that south americans are racist towards blacks. Mentality like this is what makes my blood boil.

I don't know what latinas see in whites anyway. When you go to craigslist in the Women to men section, Hispanic women always asking for hardworking latins or whites. Can you answer that?

I really don't like guys that are too pale, I prefer darker skinned ones, but I don't think Latin girls don't like you because of your skin tone. People like to date people that are like themselves in some ways, and complementary in others. Women like men who look like their dads and men like women who look like their moms. Since you're very different from them they find you unattractive.
But don't say the South Americans are racist toward blacks. I am South American and I have a very dear black friend, and some black acquaintances I don't hate at all. Seriously, my friend swears she has never suffered racism. We are not racist. - +1 y

I agree. I am originally from NYC. I saw all kinds of mixes. It's one of the more cosmopolitan cities where race isn't so much an issue because they have been dealing with long before anybody else did because of their being an international city.
You can't just base it on one person's opinion. There may be some tendencies, but don't generalize.
Many latin people are black or mulato.
I don't really know what goes on in nyc.
But I am part lebanese (middle eastern) and part dominican from caucasion and not African or indian descent. From what I have seen in many latin American countries there is a sort of discrimination. The whiter you are the higher standard of living and power you have. There are exceptions naturally.00 Reply- Anonymous(36-45)+1 y
Part of Latina culture is trying to be as white as possible.
It shouldn't be too shocking, Latinas are in fact the product of colonization between "Indians" Natives and the Spanish.
The Spanish won, and they set the standards.
It's like that in India too because of the British but it is even more pronounced among Latinas because unlike in India, most Latinas are actually a mix of both ethnicities, but buy varying amounts.39 Reply- Opinion Owner+1 y
Most the full natives were completely killed off via genocide, but the Aztecs put up a good fight. Too bad the Spanish came back and destroyed their city then built a church out of the ruins ;(

This.
I live in Mexico, and this way of thinking has gotten all the way down here. We Latinos are trying hard to live like whites.
We have American -styled malls. There are LOADS of American clothing brands, franchises, etc. They're destroying the small local companies. Young people prefer Halloween over DÃa the Muertos. All of the modern expressions, fads , fashion etc have gotten here from the USA. It's a bit sad, but it's expectable because of globalization. They even try to post stuff in English on Facebook to look cool (and often fail miserably because of poor grammar xD)
And naturally, they LOVE dating whites. Any American here in a party will not struggle at all to find a girl. It goes the other way around too, of course. Many men love blondies. Hence, my enormous confusion at QA's complaints. don't know if it really is so different up there, or there's something wrong about him they don't like. I personally think his attitude is not very good. - Opinion Owner+1 y

Because blacks aren't white.
It wasn't the Ashanti or Zulus who colonized Mexico, therefore Latina culture doesn't obsess over blacks the same as they do for whites. Duh.

I'm Hispanic and no I'm not racist. I don't care what color a guy is and that's very unfair of you to generalize all Latin/Hispanic women based on just that. Some of my closest and best friends are black in fact my best friend is black and he's a guy.

Coming from a black guy (among many) that wants everything but black women, this is amusing and also rather disgusting. I think this is nothing but trying to get women to say how much they love black men like all of your other questions seem to be.
The only unfortunate thing is that most of the girls on here are dummies that can't see through this.10 Reply you need to try to ask one out first, to judge so soon based on what your co co worker said is not really fair.
there are people who dont mind to date any race, and some who have preference towards certain race.10 Reply- Anonymous(30-35)+1 y
