Members feel left out of EC because of their Race

thats where u are wrong, they are not humble they are narrow minded and olibious and tempers

 

I'm rather grey-A, and I don't feel sexual attraction that often. But I've been attracted to people of all races.

 

I don't get this thread necromancy.. I mean, Unsurevirgin, you are responding to posts of five years ago, not even to a particular one and not even to get the discussion restarted with your own view.

That said, I do find that people of my own race are usually those I react to, but first, I live in a society which is pretty much all-white and second, race is just another characteristic of a person. I prefer blonds as well, but I wouldn't ever think of myself as "hairist" when it comes to dark haired guys. It's just that the issue of race has a connotation that rings warning bells in our minds. Think about it, if we lived in a society which was truly racism-free, it would never be raised as an issue, it would be seen as normal to have a preference. Because it is.

 

So what's the problem? Most of the members on EC are white, and often white people are attracted to white people. It's a little odd but it's true for some reason. Additionally, people don't "drool" over people on EC. It's a place for chat and discussion.

 

I'm personally only attracted to white guys. That's just my preference I can't Help that. I like Italians, Germans Europeans mostly. I do think some mixed guys are hot As F**k. I still have a problem with judging people by their looks and it's a terrible thing I'm getting better. But why does it really matter if people on ec find you attractive anyways? This is a support site not for hook ups or online dating right? Everyone has a different preference say just because I don't find someone attractive doesn't mean someone else won't. There is that one special person out there who's views are the only ones that matter. I don't think someone goes (at least from my view) oh he's Asian or he's black or he's Mexican or he's Indian I won't even look twice. At least I wouldn't do that sure my preference may be European but I've seen tons of hot black guys, Indian, Asian, Latino guys. to me race doesn't matter at all it has to do with the right features that catch my eye first not race. I look at guys for their noses and eyes and cheekbones and jaw lines and jaw, those are the first things that catch my eye not race.

 

I'm a white person who finds asians most attractive (so pretty eyes), but I'm definately attracted to all races.

 

I am attracted to GUYS.

I can appreciate any nice person, no matter what color and I can dislike someone, no matter what color.

As it happens, I´m a halfblood (white/red) and ended up with a mixblood (white/red/black).

Anyway I can say I am "colorblind" when it comes to people.
But maybe it helps that I grew up in a mixed (hippie) enviroment anyway?

No color should sense "racisme" when it comes to romantic or sexual feelings. It doesn´t work that way with love, I think.

 

Eye or hair colour were never a deciding factor for me in friendships so I don't think they would be in a romantic relationship either. If there's one thing I love about my upbringing is that my parents didn't raise me to be racist.
This may sound weird to you, but I live in a place where I very rarely see people from different races. The majority of the population in this country is white so I'm always fascinated to see Africans or Asians.:icon_redf

 

I'm Chinese and Vietnamese, and I mostly go for Asians. I also go for Eurasians (Part white, part asian) because they are so attractive to me.

 

I picture Unsurevirgin yelling "rise from your grave!" Altered Beast style while posting. :lol: Though I do agree that it would have been better to make a new poll.

As for myself, I'm more attracted to accents than races now. Through experience though I have learned that dating can be difficult when someone has a skewed view of your race. I tend to get turned off when my date just assumes that I make a ton of casino money, am a pagan, or like drinking just because I'm Native American. For the longest time I would gravitate towards Latinas and other Natives just to avoid the awkwardness of being asked racial questions. It took me a long time to get over that line of thinking. That's societies conditioning for ya. :\

 

Haha, that was an interesting read.

Ive always been surrounded by a very diverse group of people. Im mixed myself - asian (filipino), hispanic (costa rican), and black (haitian), and a lot of my friends are mixed too. My neighborhood I grew up in is a huge blend of people from all over the world, Ive always had friends of different backgrounds and ethnicity than me, so Ive had crushes on all kinds and colors of guys.

I started listing some different ethnicities and races I found particularly attractive, but then I realized I was basically just listing off a world tour of men. So its easier for me to just say that I find myself being attracted to guys of all colors and backgrounds.

Maybe a little off topic, but I do think there is something really hot about interracial couples. When Ive been with a guy who is either a lot darker or lighter than me, or when I see couples like that in public, i think the contrasting skin colors are really a turn on.

 

This is my opinion too. :icon_wink

 

I think most people are more comfortable with the familiar, so if you only grew up surrounded by a certain group, a lot of times your own, that's what you're going to have more experience with in terms of attraction, and there's nothing wrong with that.

It's well within their rights to not want anything to do with members of a certain race or ethnicity, though I have a hard time respecting these types of people. On the other side of the coin you have those who will develop a fetish for ethnic minorities, or I should say, for preconceived notions associated with such people. The Mandingo stereotype associated with black men is one that comes to mind.

Being a person of color, if I had to choose between being completely ignored for my ancestry or being treated as some exotic experience, I'd choose the first option in a heart beat. I'd rather someone like me for me, not for my physical features, heritage, minority status, etc alone.

 

I'm mixed (White and south Asian) and I really don't care about race. Then again I also look white during the winter so I dunno whatever I'll just go now

 

Definitely agree. I'm white but I mostly go for asians. Even though my school has more white people, I share lots of classes with the asian group because I'm into math and science.

Also, I should point out that I could go for any race but asians are those who I spend more time around, so of course I like more asians, by virtue of knowing more.

 

I don't find myself attracted to people of one race more than another; there are beautiful individuals from every race, in my eyes.

 

Woot, Necro-Party. ^_^

The problem is not having a physical/racial preference, its how often some people tend to throw it in everyone's face that causes the issues. Many people on EC and out in the world have issues realizing that just because you find something more appealing doesnt automatically mean the rest are lessers. Every time we have a thread on preferences, many seem to treat the subject as if it were a compare and contrast essay.

I like _______, because ______ are *Negative Description*.

My favorite color is Green. It is my favorite color because that is what tickles my fancy, not because Blue is a ugly piece of shit. Preferences are often random occurrences, we need to stop treating ours as if they are the basis of the most optimal individual.

It is true that on average many people tend to have slight preferences towards their own race, though I have always found it interesting when people vocalize that they are only attracted to the members of a certain race. As if that was something that any of us could actually state definitely. Under the realization that we cant, I find it a bit juvenile to feel the need to express that openly, as if it were a necessary piece of information.

Just My Thoughts.

 

I'm pretty much only attracted to White/Latin/Bi-Racial.


I think people just like who they like. Also Preferences change. I'm mixed myself and tend to be attracted to certain races. My sister used to only date and be attracted to black guys for years, currently she's with a Latin who looks like a white guy.
