<p>I can’t help my hijacking tendencies. Subway vs. Quizno’s is a much better topic than the “white/Asian hotness debate.”</p>
<p>Quizno’s does have good sandwiches but I haven’t been to one since I was in Plattsburgh.
Speaking of Plattsburgh, we were a pure Dunkin’ Donuts place. Starbucks can’t compete with Dunkin Donuts. </p>
<p>I can barely find a Dunkin in NYC though. Every now and then I run into one but there’s a flipping Starbucks on every corner. I want Dunkin’s dammit.</p>
<p>Now that I think about it, it’s true that I can’t recall too many African American girls dating white guys in my high school… However, it definitely seems to happen a lot more in college… I wonder why that’s the case… (won’t keep me up at night though)…</p>
<p>AllAmericangrl1 - I think your chances are pretty good if you’re into white boys! It’s college, for god’s sake! :)</p>
<p>Green Mountain has the best coffee. They have this sweet pumpkin or was it sweet potato? I can’t remember but it was so good. There is no Green Mountain here at least not one I’ve found. I thought McDonald’s served Green Mountain coffee? If they do I bet it’s just the original flavors.</p>
<p>Collegehelllp,
I’m confused as to how men would be turned off of dating black women because a high percentage of single mothers are black. By definition, being with one of these women would make her no longer single. Fidelity, rather than not dating black women, (safe sex helps too) is the answer to that problem, I think.</p>
<p>I never insinuated there was a singular black culture. I merely said what it consisted of but not that it was singular.</p>
<p>Also, for the most part, the stereotype, at least portrayed in the media and from my own personal experience, is what I stated before. Give or take a few situations, and yes, your stereotype fits well. As far as the BM thinking they can get away with more with educated BFs, I’ve never seen it happen that often. I can’t think of one actual situation, but it depends on the actual female.</p>
<p>I think the situation really is very bad for East Asian males. The government classifies those from the Indian Subcontinent as Asian as well. Relationships between those from the Indian subcontinent with other races are more likely to involve males and not females. There are more East Asian female-White male relationships than vice versa and more Indian male-White female relationships than vice versa.</p>
<p>I’m similar. I don’t care who you date. For me, I’ll date almost anyone with a personality, style, and/or intellect that I like - I’m satisfied by a wide range of looks and generally don’t care. That’s for dating. If we’re talking eye candy I’m varied, but I have a tendency to find tall, light-skinned or biracial black men appealing (Will Smith, Barack Obama) as well as middling height, slightly overweight, cool but a bit nerdy white guys with glasses.</p>
<p>I attend a university in the bay area part of California. It’s a heavy liberal area, so the interracial dating thing isn’t a huge deal. I’m a white male who finds black females to be the most attractive on average. Some guys I used to work with would give me crap (jokingly) about it. I’ve never encountered any hostility about interracial dating either. I only know two white guys (one was half mexican) that have or are dating a black woman. I eventually will, but not right now. Although seeing white men with black women is not as common as other interracial combinations, I don’t think it’s any less accepted IMO.</p>
<p>Well i’m in my freshman yr in college, and i don’t really know about what happens in college but during high school i saw a good amount of interracial couples. If it can happen in high school, then i’m sure i’ll see more of it in college. My high school was like 85% white, 13% Hispanics and then Asian and Black. From what i noticed in high school it’s not all about the person’s race but really more about the clique and what stereotype someone falls under. </p>
<p>Certain race does fall under one stereo type more, and that causes people to think, it’s more about race. I’m a Pakistani/Indian Girl and i have dated mostly white guys, and then Hispanic, and one half black half white guy. I find East Asian guys attractive too but never had a real relationship with one. I don’t know anyone of my own race so obviously i haven’t dated an Indian/Paki/bengali etc.</p>
