I've dated a couple black girls and black dudes would always give us looks. I even felt in many cases they wanted to fight me. They would say stuff like " look at dis shite" and "what you doing wit dis white boi" as they passed.

The girls I was with were smokin hot so I can't blame them. It just really exposes the racism that is out there

Most people don't really care and who cares what anyone thinks anyway. My wife is from Asia and I don't teach our kids to care about any of that stuff. If anybody has a problem, that is their problem. It won't make my life one bit better to make it my problem. I teach my kids to treat everyone kindly and to wish the best for them.

It is weird. I wanna say there was an ad for the Gap that had that type of couple in it a few years back, but it got very limited run.

Makes me give even more kudos to The Walking Dead, tbh.

Sounds like you're paranoid. If you and your gf are happy, who cares?


P.S. Isn't it time to stop with the slavery talk? I've never owned a slave, my parents never owned a slave, my grandparents never owned a slave, my great grandparents never owned a slave, etc.

Yes

Very racist

Especially if it is just a very light skinned sister in said commercial instead of an extra dark one. Interesting link tho… LINK

Men are subconsciously attracted to fairer-skinned icons such as Nicole Kidman or Kylie Minogue because of the skin tone's association with innocence, purity, modesty, virginity, vulnerability and goodness.

Women, on the other hand, pick men with darker complexions - such as film stars Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell or Jamie Foxx - because these are associated with sex, virility, mystery, villainy and danger.


Snow White is chaste with 7 small white nerds

Pitch Black is getting busy with 7 tall white crackers

Yeah, that does not sound racist at all!


As a big arse pale white guy, I can say tho, that the sex, virility, mystery, villainy and danger part really does attract women of all colors. If they have daddy issues you can double down on that angle.

I saw an Asian comedian once talking about how the to two least married demographics were asian guys and black women and how they needed to get together. It was funny stuff.

Just untrue. Most people stay within their own race when it comes to attraction.






I think basing it on race is stupid altogether.

Latinas have everyone else beat.

I don't know a single person that would be upset about this. You sure you get "stink eye" as often as youthink you do? Maybe you're just paranoid?

Nah. I'm extremely slow to play the race card or assume racism, but shite like OP described does occur more frequently than you'd think.

Most is pretty easy to let go, though, and overall the reactions my wife and I get have been positive.

America is pretty badass

I believe you it just kinda surprises me that it would be somewhat common. Consider my privilege to be checked.

It's all good

Honestly, your reaction is kinda heartening. There will always be someone crazies who only see skin pigmentation, but we all can work toward making their stance as ridiculous in common conversation as if someone said they believed in the world being flat.

Stop investing yourself in giving a shite about the opinions of strangers.

Different strokes and all

I have always been attracted to Indian women (both dot and feather) and women of Greek and Italian heritage.

I do gave a soft spot hot for "black" irish women
A) Coal black long hair
B) Green eyes
C) Translucent pale white skin

Sorta like this, but even more pale and green eyes

My faves are the Eastern European descendants of Roman Goddesses!!!







Spent a few weeks in Romania a few years ago. It was like being a kid in the candy store!! Even in smaller towns and villages, it is hard to walk down the street for more than a minute without seeing a legit 8-10. Just amazing!!!
