I mean we won't know on racism until we can get in the guys head tbh, but... you're also attracted to what you're attracted to. Granted, entirely possible the person is just pulling the "I'm not racist I've dated black/non-white people!" card. Everyone is "discriminatory" to some features of other people, whether you think about it or not. It could be something as easily changed as hair color, or a feature that's potentially not even the other persons fault at all--like scars or some such, to things that can't be changed(at least easily) like skin tone. <cite>R_Jackal posted [p:933140479] in Is this ra...

Exactly what percentage of white men would be into black women if the so called beauty standard didn't exist? And is it a serious train of thought that white men have to be or are hypnotized into preferring their own damn race, and women who closely resemble their race? Really?
