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.

Exactly!! I've never let race hinder who I dated. As much as we try, we can't control who we are attracted to. What we can control is how we respond or handle the attraction. If you are ashamed or scared of caring for someone outside of your race, you need to decide if you want to live your life for yourself or someone else. If you don't treat me right, I don't care what race you are, I'm gone...
