The soul has no skin tone.

Thus far, the responses in this thread help me to prove a point to a friend of mine.

A discussion arose one day about sexuality and prejudice. The topic was how heterosexuals are exponentially more colorblind than homosexuals. (Bisexuals don't count because we already see both genders, who has time for a race?) I strongly contend that it is gay guys who hold more serious reservations. It took me logging him on to gay.com for him to at least understand from where I draw my conclusions. (Note: Most of the guys on gay.com are out for nothing but sex, so it was the perfect part of the population to sample.)

We performed an experiment where I would start a private message with a guy and talk to him, then he would private the same guy after I'd gone and do the same. I made sure to have him ask if these guys would consider someone of a different race. Of the ten guys we picked, only one felt the need to even continue a conversation with me past hello. I asked him if he were attracted to guys of other races, to which he responded yes. I then explained to the guy what I was doing and thanked him for his participation.

Now this could be skewed by the fact that a large amount of gay guys are superficial mindless faggots who think of nothing outside Queer as Folk and the lastest circuit party, what they're going to wear, and gratuitous use of the words 'fabulous' and 'girl'. However, I also pointed out to him how many guys had in some way included "white only" in their descriptions, and he finally accepted the fact that heterosexuals are way more open minded than they're given credit.


I'll edit and word this better when I check again Sunday afternoon, but I hope the gist at least gets through.

Out here I've seen and talked to some VERY beautiful, Iraqi, Syrian, Jordanian, Indian (real India Indians), Kuwaiti.

i actually have a very similar story. i have had a relationship for the past year with a black male. my parents all come from old very traditional southern families.

i had to have a long talk with my mom one day and explain that everyone is human. i just asked her to specify exactly what her concerns were and i had an answer for every one of them. she's still hesistant, but she understands that her way of thinking is very backwoods and that she needs to start being more tolerant.

my stepdad is just ignorant. he's a lost cause.

i'm 24 now, but when i was in high school (in a very small town), i dated a black guy. my parents wouldn't let me out of the house and said i was ruining the family name. this was a costant battle for a long time. i guess my mom has come a long way. it helps that i don't live with them too.

good luck!

wow...spam necroposting FTW!

round is not usually a shape i find hot women in.

Me and my wife are both white but I have never looked at race. I have dated, black, hispanic, asia, ect.... I don't look at color, I look at the booty!
