Interracial relationships, the acid test of racism?

I know this thread is a bit old.. but I had to add my two cents.
It really rubs me the wrong way when people say "oh I don't date -insert race here- guys/girls whatver" , to me that's saying I assume that everyone of this race is going have these characteristics that I don't find appealing, so I don't bothering trying to get to know them, and that's closed minded.

The girl that told me about this site, told me she wants to be more than friends the other day. We had been hanging out as friends for a while, but that was it, or so I thought. The whole idea of her wanting more is flattering but, when we would hang out as just friends, man o man did we get snares. She's really nice and very attractive, but I'm just not comfortable with the whole situation. It caught me off guard when she laid her feelings out there like that.

I've never been involved with a white woman before especially one in a white sorority. It would be very difficult to relate to her.

I'm not sure that I understand exactly what u are trying to say. If u are able to relate to her as a friend, why would it be hard to relate to her as a girlfriend? Her skin may be different from yours but she's still a person.

No, I was talking about our organizations, not us. I think the biggest issue would come from outside. The snares we get I would have to get used to. But right now I would like to remain friends. But you're absolutlely right she is a human being, so I wasn't saying I can't relate to her, it's just when she talks about her sorority I don't know what she's talking about, or when I talk about my fraternity she looks at me like

that's all.

I didn't see it coming because we had been friends for 8 months and like I said in the "Can men and women be friends" thread that I have a hard time having female friends because they always want something more. I thought in this case it would be different. I guess not. LOL at the kane in the bedroom. You're so bad.

Okey, lemme break it down fo ya. Some women, mostly young ones, (I know, been there done that), try to be friends with the guy they want to sport fcuk... That's why they wait so long... Homegirl was being civil and dignified and trying the respect herself. That's why she says she has feeling for you, now...

Like the comedian said: It's not your beauty, it's your bootay...

Some older women do it for pure adrenaline sport... And to do it right, it won't be spectator, less folks like it like dat...

How do I know?

Let's just say I'm an old married woman... And I have no reason to be bored...

I don't know very many Asians. So, what's wrong with asian girls?

I wonder how this will all work for my niece. She was adopted from China, so she is genetically chinese, however she is being raised by my brother who is a first generation American (parents are off the boat from Germany) and my sister-in-law who is half Cherokee and half white "mutt" (her term).
So my niece might more closely identify with white culture than asian.
