In this country and in Latin American countries, there is a great social divide between groups of people based on the color of their skin, features, and hair texture. So things like attractiveness and social status (i.e. the white privilege that people of European background receive all over the world) will be based on that. If you date someone of the African diaspora, familiarity with each other's "culture" would have to include acknowledging and discussing this without being too consumed with it.

There was a special on PBS recently about this issue in Brazil. Very sad state of affairs. If I find a link or article, I will post it.

Personally, I simply date who I'm attracted to, whatever their race.

The only thing I take issue with is people who exclude certain races from their "dating pool" based on stereotypes. For example, black men who only date white women "because black women are lazy, ghetto, and make bad mothers." That's a stereotype. Or black women who won't date white men because "they think they're better than you, they're nerdy, or they smell like wet dog" That's also a steretype. If you're going to stick to certain races, that's fine. But don't base your choices on things that are ignorant and untrue.
