I agree. That's why I don't fight for women who are only interested in money. I just acknowledge they're shitty people and move along. <cite>bobbaaay posted [p:969471331] in Do you thi...

ZannoL 11/16/22 2:15:32 PM #53:	I do agree with you guys. I think trying to change someone is futile. I guess I was just genuinely curious as to why someone would write off an entire group of people as unattractive. At the end of the day, though, my friend can do whatever he wants. It's his life. <cite>ZannoL posted [p:969471503] in Do you thi... [t:80235646]...</cite> <quote>I do agree with you guys. I think trying to change someone is futile.

Outright refusing to date anyone of a specific race is definitely racist. --- I have nothing else to say <cite>RchHomieQuanChi posted [p:969471851] in Do you thi...

meestermj 11/16/22 2:39:50 PM #58:	I actually struggled with this a bit in previous years. I had some internal biases due to some childhood trauma that I had to get over. I understand that I was coming from a place of bias, but that might not be true for everyone. As always, I think wording is important. Example: "All Mexicans are unattractive." That's a horrid statement "I'm not attracted to typically Mexican features." Is much more understandable. --- Psn: beastlytoast Left-handed fire-slapsies leave me feeling confused about life. - Merydia <cite>meestermj posted [p:969472016] in Do you thi...

K181 11/16/22 3:00:05 PM #61:	Yes. There's nothing wrong with preferences. But to flat and categorically say that you don't find an entire race attractive is pretty definitely racist. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. <cite>K181 posted [p:969472503] in Do you thi...

Lost_All_Senses 11/16/22 3:29:07 PM #68:	Seems like the antithesis of racism lol. Someone made a case about how it's more racist to not date a specific race than it is to only date insude your own race tho. Because only dating in your own race has more for lack of better word, purpose (tho still racist) than just not dating one race. You can be pressured by family and what not to only date inside your own race. And you can be giving that up, which might be your only support system at the time. And regardless of what limited thinking people perceive, racist family can still supply a certain level of support system. One you might still need until you can maybe find another support system that's more open. People online aren't gonna support you after they convince you to abandon your family. You'll spiral while they move on and feel good about themselves while not caring what happened to you anymore --- Name checks out "I don't wanna be the toughest, I just keep it 100 and think nothin of it"- Black Thought <cite>Lost_All_Senses posted [p:969473137] in Do you thi...
