... person of a different race?

Obviously a culture clash is a good enough reason not to go out with some one of a different race to you. The person being ugly or having poor hygiene is also another valid reason.

But would a person's race actually stop you from going out with them?

I always thought I'd go out with some one of a different race (love is blind and all that), but I was just thinking I wouldn't be terribly impressed if my sister came home with some one who wasn't white. I had enough problems with the fact her last boyfriend had a turn in his eye and her new boyfriend's ginger!

My girlfriend is French, we've never had any problems.

I've never really found one to my taste physically, but if I did then I'd have no issues with it

My girlfriend's from Moscow...made for an interesting background, if nothing else.

I'm of Asian origin, by the way.

Hmmn, one of those questions you can’t REALLY answer properly unless you are inclined against entering a relationship with someone of a different race for either religious or family issues. (ie father who wouldn’t approve and would cut you off completely scenario.)

I expect most of the answers to be “Sure why not” because well.. Sure why not!?

If you find someone you like how is the colour of their skin/cultural background going to change anything? Surely those are aspects that would apply to the reason you like them in some way, parts of the person so to speak.

Its not really an excuse.
If you like them then go for it

You don't have to prefix a perfectly normal question with "not racist but .... ".

Which is why her parents dont know about me.

Yes.

But you have every right to not to, it's your body so if you are racist then there's nothing wrong with that. No-one has a right to force you into a relationship with different race (just because it is politcally incorrect to be racist)

I think that we talked about this a lot in this thread

Haha, so true.

Yes, I would go out with someone of a different race. Asian girls are hawt.

Sorry - just my attempt at humour!

Murf · 19 May 2006 at 00:06

If I'm totally honest I don't think I would. I'm just not as attracted to non-white people. It's nothing to do with personality but culture\looks tend to put me off. I'm more than happy to change that opinion if the right woman comes along though.

4T5 · 19 May 2006 at 00:07

I would say no at the moment as there are to many cultural differences and i couldn't stand adjusting to suit. Not because of race issues though just because i am old and stuck in my ways.
On the other hand when on a buzz if she tickled me in the right places i'd hit it. Three pints and i am anybodys to be honest.

Now please form an orderly Q.

Just kidding girls, you're all welcome!
