As far as people who "date in color", that just speaks to the nature of people to do what's in their comfort zone. As any ______ man/woman, ______ from a _______background, growing up ________in the _______, an ~~ideal~~ mate is someone who has a similar background in most/all aspects. One has less to explain, less to compensate for, etc, etc. This rationale goes beyond race. And it makes sense, especially when you date someone who hasn't so-called "struggled like I/you have". Can you imagine having to explain every-dayum-thing? But then, if I were to stick to the pool of men who come from backgrounds like myself, I might be bored, may miss out on the challenge of getting out of my comfort zone or anything. Or maybe the man I end up with WILL be just like Mr. T (my dad). Who knows? I don't. But I don't think that I should exclude finding out what is and what isn't in the meanwhile...And on top of that, unless you date someone who is your clone, there will always be issues of relativity---different education, different associations, different familial backgrounds, different struggles, etc.
And I guess that's the point I was trying to make before, that *that* way of thinking can limit the scope of prospects in a relationship. I guess my point is is that there is more out there than what you think you know of. That this isn't the end of it. There is no better way to find out than try...
*And this is why people need to travel/study abroad...Think OUTSIDE OF THE BOX, for crying out loud!*
THIS shoulda been addressed on the show--not some surface bull!
