To me what makes sense is wanting to date inside your own culture/religion. I personally will only date guys who are Irish/Italian and Catholic because when I have children I want my culture and religion to be a big part of their upbringing and I think a man with the same background will best be able to share that with me. The idea of dating/not dating someone because of their "race" seems silly to me because there are so many cultural differences within races. Having grown up in Brooklyn I will always have much more in common with my black West Indian neighbors who go to the same church and are also first generation Americans than I ever will with have with a white person from another part of the country, who is not first generation and not Catholic.
