And if someone white would have made that comment, you'd be the first one to scream "ignorant".

My problem isn't with the attracted v. not attracted part (although, come on, there is a wide range in every race), it's with the "Oh, well, it's okay for this attitude to take place in my fraternity since it doesn't directly affect me" attitude.

Okay lets put it like this...
it's not about the race, but it's the contributing factor. If there was a black girl that everyone found attractive, it would be different. I think beyonce's cute, it's about race if only because their race determines their appearance. It's sort of like being the guy who hooked up with the fat girl. Y'know? It's the same type of ostracism based on appearance and not race.

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. That is about the most ignorant comment I have ever read in my life. You are going to be attractive to a black girl because of her status and not because she's beautiful. I don't care what anybody says, I am standing up for my sisters. We are all beautiful black women. You would know that if your ignorance was not in the way. And as far as interracial dating goes, that has been going on since the beginning of time. That's why I am Black, white and hispanic. I haven't seen any white Deltas. I have dated outside of my race, but I don't know any soros that have

1. He has every right to not find (all or even some) Black women attractive and to be attracted to status. Opinion and personal preference. Afterall, there are ugly people of every race who find mates based on their status. So there's no real need to fight the battle for Black women here. Some Black women are beautiful and some aren't. That's that.

2. Interracial "dating" has not been going on since the "beginning of time." Unless "dating" is synonymous with "sex" or even "rape."

3. I've seen white Deltas and I know a few Sorors who date interracially.

Ok my bad. I thought he was black. But anyways... I stand by my point, but I also understand yours.

Amen to that.

All the guys I've dated have been outside my race. I've only dated one Asian (but the only thing Asian about him was his last name and the fact that he was only 1/8th of it) and don't find most of them attractive.

particularly in the asian community, that has nothing to do with personal attraction.

Another thing as well...growing up and living in Hawai`i where everyone's of mixed ancestry, interracial relationships are the norm and have been this way since the missionaries (followed by the plantation workers) came.

I find that a lot of white guys have a thing for Asian girls. My high school was 66% Asian, and one of the guys in my youth group wanted to come to my graduation just to see all of the Asian girls. I kid you not. When it comes to race, my last 3 serious relationships were all white and Jewish. I don't care about color as much as I care about religion. I also would prefer not to date Russian guys. My last boyfriend was Russian, and it just confirmed for me how much I want to ostracize myself from the Russian community.

shinerbock · #12 08-27-2006, 03:53 AM

Holy crap. You must live in a seriously diverse area...66 percent asian? I don't think I see 66 asian people in a calendar year. Russian community? Damn.

on a side note,
I'm talking 'bout George W. Smith.
From city council.
He ran in '93, out in Oakland.
You probably didn't hear about him.

California? School with an emphasis on maths and sciences? Boarding school? All three?

(My high school was probably 40-something percent Asian by the time you get to the upper grades, with the vast majority from Hong Kong. Many were boarders too.)
