    so what happens if we are most comfortable with a type or race? as an indian i could be more comfortable around other indians in my intimate relationships. i dated a white man briefly but i was not as comfortable with him as i could be with someone who understands my background, so distanced myself. Am i racist? yes of course. But i dont feel bad about it because am sure the white man found a much more suitable person than me. i think this is a multi- layered issue, and people in their intimate relationships, cannot be forced to make a woke decision.

    If I was single, I would date outside my race.

    as a black american female who has used dating apps since i was a literal teenager, it’s definitely true that the vast majority of men of all races (black included) disregard black women. i personally have no real racial preferences and never have, however i have cultural preferences based on my unique personality. in relationship terms i’m more submissive and traditional-minded, while being socially liberal. there is nothing i relate less to than the stereotype of the “strong independent black woman.” i want a man who allows me to be myself, which is something delicate and fragile which needs and deserves protecting. so i’ve generally been involved with immigrant men from more traditional cultures…latino, asian, middle eastern. occasionally white and older. black american men seem to have the least attraction towards/understanding of black women like myself, so i tend to not even consider them at all.

    I can’t say I agree with this on. I don’t see why people have a problem with this one.

    I do have a type but its so generic every race fits in it. A skin color is not part of my type so I am open to every race. If I am to date again it would be about who the man is and to fall in love with who he is and not his skin color.

    Black guys have it 100X easier with girls or guys these days than asian men. Media rules our consciousness and media for 30 years been saying black guys are so very much cooler, all have giant penises, all, nor some. They just so much more badass. Asian men, thanks Silvermans, are still eunuchs effeminate wimps.
    Ask white, black, Arab, Spanish even Asian females who they’d choose black or Asian male for hookup or date, you know why Asian men ranked last on dating sites.
    Gotta love the agenda media for Asian men not women, wonder why that agenda

    So if I choose to NOT date black people, thats racism? Complete and utter BS. Stuff like this is what makes right-wingers hate “lefties”. Fact is… you ARE allowed to like, dislike whoever you like. Its when you start giving people different opportunities that its an actual issue. Not letting black people have access to me… Kinda my preferance.

    LOL! Ronnie Chieng is hilarious! So based on the “least desirable data” on what was said, Asian men and Black women should be a match. HA, HA, HA, HA!
