It's still wrong on every level. We're all human beings. We're all genetically made up the same. I guess I'll have to go on clueless of why this is. I think it's very sad that some men would date a woman because he thinks her race is better than another one. How can someone look at another person and say I don't like him/her because his/her skin color is not like mine? When I watch the presidential debates, I often wonder what it would be like if we couldn't see who was running for office, but could only hear their voices. I wonder who would win? That's another topic though.
I'll continue having my own opinion on this issue, because to me a good man is a good man. I don't care what color he is. Personal preference is one thing, but just to say I can't date him or her because he/she is not of the same color is wrong. I won't use race, because there's only one race, the human race. I'll just use skin or color, because that's all it is to me.

I'm glad that you learned something, however if you have no interest in picking up a book to find the answers to your questions, or to gain a better understanding of the issue at hand, I think you need to refrain from asking any more questions on this board. I think that it's very easy to play all innocent like "well why would someone do XYZ?" and "we are all the same." Please. We are NOT all the same. We DO tend to experience the world differently based on the color of our skin, and there are cultural differences which are often connected with race. And all of that is just fine because beauty can be found in all of that. If everyone were the same the world would be incredibly boring. What I don't understand is why some people have such a hard time accepting that there are things/issues in this country and globally that are simply ugly/hard to talk about. Pretending to be clueless about them and then choosing to remain ignorant about them does not help anything.
