Fast forward to today:
I was recently talking to my brother, who was trying to convince me to date a guy from my own race, because I'd find more cultural compatibility and therefore a successful relationship/marriage. I feel as though, I don't have any compatibility with guys of my own race since I grew up in the western part of the world and after college I sort of found my own medium of what sort of culture I'd prefer in my life. This is in addition to me lacking any attraction to them. My brother accused me of suffering from self hate issues. But I feel otherwise. I actually value my looks and am proud of them. I am comfortable with myself and my body and my negative perception of the males of my race has nothing to do with how I perceive my own self. I just don't want to be with a guy from my own culture/race.
Have any of you gone through something similar? What are your thoughts on my brother's reasoning? Are his thoughts justified or is he in the wrong?
