And, I, too, don't like it when other people exclusively date outside their race based on stereotypical reasons. When I see a brutha with "someone else" (esp. White), paranoia kicks in and I usually automatically think the worse (esp. if he has status). With that said, though, love is love and that can't really be helped. We're all individuals; you can't live your life to accomodate other people's opinions. It's just that the feelings, reasons, etc., for interracial dating/marriages should be genuine and not based on stereotypes, a one-time bad experience, etc.

Since I am supposed to be doing my homework this about summarizes ho I feel about dating outside of my race. I do not mind if someone else does it, but I like Soror Obsession8, don't really see myself dating anyone else. One of my good friends dated a white guy and he wanted to ste me up with one of his friends, but I had to pass. As long as my friend was happy I was too! I am not saying that I would never date outside of my race, but I have not given up hope.
