Seriously? Please explain. Because that's never been an issue with me. That statement makes absolutely no sense.

I am really overwhelmed to get that many response and I really appreciate and respect all opinions. I am totally new here and I had no idea this group would be that much alive. Thank you all that makes me feel alive too. I have been US just for one year but it's been really really difficult for in all possible ways.

I am not a racist, right now I would date any female who could stand to be around me.

Love the darker skin tone ,Im part Maori Native of New Zealand Im actually German Maori British so we all fought each other at some stage , growing up I had snow white hair the dark black almost blue black then Completly grey by 28, Summer I turn dark Tan brown but rest of the year white , I love Dark skin women I think it must of been the old Pastel usualy green tones of the African american art drawn in the late 50s and 60s called the Vega girls also they were in the old Playboy Magazines my dear old man used to Hide in the woodshed bless him that so appealed ive been hooked ever since Love the big Lips and Mysterious looks and Fuller fiquire, so I quess that cuts my dating chances down quite substantially

Racism is the belief that one race is inherently superior to another. It has nothing to do with personal taste. If certain physical features don’t turn me on, and I’m perceived as and treated as a racist for not dating a more diverse pool of women, then whose life am I living here? I’m not a puppet, mate.

Relationships are difficult enough. I prefer to stick with my own race/ ethnicity . While it may work out for many people, it's just not my preference.

I suppose being born is directly or indirectly related to racism too.
I get your point even though you don't have one. ?

Please do.

I am picky in partners in more ways than race.

He would have to be the same race, citizenship, education, similar social status, like doing similar things, have traveled, be fit, and be within two years of my age.

I wouldn't date him if he: played golf, loved to eat junk food and red meat, liked to fish and hunt, follows NASCAR, is an American football fanatic, a gamer, addicted to his smart phone/or porn, seldom reads.

How does this happen? This choosing malarky? I just was sorta single then sorta not. I was married to a guy for 22 years who was a different nationality and a different ethnicity (although still caucasian). I thought being with someone was more about chemistry and biology and less about cynical thought. If that was the case, I'd have at least chosen a rich one...I entirely do not care about their ethnicity.

I love to get involved with a coloured lady, they seem to be very sexually liberated ?

so explain pls
