<p>I don’t really know. Like culture/values/religion should be common and I think I’ll more likely find that in people of my own race, you know?</p>
<p>It’s not that I want to pretend that I’m living in my home country or avoid integrating - I am really into the community/patriotism etc., but my experiences are different and I think that’s affected me such that I probably wouldn’t take a lot of stuff seriously and might offend someone. </p>
<p>This is a dumb example, but my mom, when she went for her higher degrees lived away from home in dorms at the university. And she made really good friends there at the school, girls and guys and they all like went around exploring forests and all that stuff you expect college to be, minus the partying. A few people from that group got married to each other, too, I think and they’re all still close. One of those friends - he married a white woman and they have 2 cute kids. The dude was passing through our area while travelling with his kids and he stopped at our place. He was so relaxed and obviously he and my mom were having a nice time catching up. But his wife was really insecure and awkward and jealous (she kept emphasizing how they’re married) and it was so cringe worthy. And my mom was basically oblivious because she’s honestly a much better person than I am and really nice and that stuff- cheating or whatever the lady was afraid of - past sexual shenanigans, maybe just wasn’t done back then. Like, it’s a pretty conservative society and especially so in terms of sexuality. </p>
<p>And I think that’s the thing - we generalize our experiences and project them onto other people and sometimes its hard to move away from those notions. My father, who was living far away from us at the time had no problem with the meeting, and if we go by the stereotypes, he should’ve been the worried one.</p>
<p>I am not sure about it. I don’t have problems with most races but I am probably not going to date an Asian girl. Not because they aren’t attractive, but they seem to so insecure at sometimes.</p>
<p>so, basically, all except Asian (preferably white). but problem is I am Asian. so I am screwed. lol. (because people here seem to won’t date people from other race)</p>
<p>I would say I mainly I’m attracted to white girls and Asian girls. Maybe it’s cause I’m around them a lot in my activities (classical music, mathematics, science, and jazz band).</p>
<p>I’m Indian…and the only discrimination I hold is against Indian girls. It’s funny- Indian guys I don’t have much of a problem with. But Indian girls…I don’t know. I’ve just never met one I’m attracted to (and as an Indian girl, I meet a lot of them). Weird.</p>
<p>So yeah, for a romantic partner everything except indian (though I’ll probably go back on that statement some time in the future).</p>
<p>I’m a white chick, and I have to say that in a crowded room, the first guys I will notice and think are attractive are African American and Asian. However, the two guys that I’ve had serious crushes on have been Filipino (looked Hispanic…sorry) and a guy who looked totally white even though he was half Hispanic. Also, the first guy that I said, “dang, he got even more attractive over the summer…” this year was Hispanic…so I guess you could say that it really doesn’t matter to me? In the end, it really is personality with me.</p>
<p>I agree that most Asian girls are insecure, and I feel bad about it because I think that they have the prettiest eyes. I used to try to use makeup to manipulate my feature into appearing more Asian, but alas, my efforts were in vain.</p>
<p>@Repede I’m straight, but I think that Middle Eastern girls are the prettiest.</p>
<p>I’m a black girl. There are some attractive black guys, but I wish they would just be themselves instead of trying to fit into the “ghetto mold!” That’s a big turnoff for me. I mean, we live in the predominately white suburbs! It would be different if we were actually in the ghetto. We’re not! Stop trying to fit into this stereotypical black person! Meh… Sorry for my rant.</p>
