Man! Y'know, I've always been attracted to people who seem to have darker skin tones. Since I began dating when I was 16, every single person I've ever dated has had dark hair and dark eyes except one. I never set out to look for people with those characteristics, but quite evidently, that's what I was attracted to. For some reason, as long as they are caucasian, it's ok. But the moment someone crosses that nebulous "racial" line, it's all of a sudden a terrible thing. I like men with darker skin and darker hair. It doesn't imply an objectification kind of fetish where the MAN is inconsequential. It only implies that I like men with darker skin and darker hair - no different than those who think red hair on a woman is hot, or blonde or whatever. Why is it wrong for this man to admit that he is looking for a women with lighter skin and hair? There are LOTS of reasons to appreciate an interracial relationship, not the least of it is enjoying the dichotomy of skin tones when two people are together. I don't presume to know Misterdee's reasons for preferring an interracial relationship, but then, neither does anyone else here either. When I met my Master, I wasn't looking specifically for an interracial relationship, but given my past preferences, it was a natural progression. I can say that for a LOT of reasons, ALL of them, my own, and NONE of them being a fetishizing of the race issue, if I EVER found myself single again, I am highly doubtful I would be so open in the future. I love and appreciate interracial relationships and would definitely prioritize my search so that I could achieve that once again. So this man knows what he likes... so what? I don't have any idea why people are so offended by him stating his preferences. Unless he actually comes out and says he likes to degrade those who are caucasian, why is everyone knee-jerking in that direction? If someone was caucasian and said he preferred a caucasian girl, no one would have issues with that! What the hell is so wrong about a black man preferring a white girl? And just whose cloaked racism are we really dealing with here? juliet edited to say that I wasn't referring to your post abda. I just used that darn box at the end of the page.
