Do you date outside your race?

<p>

So you are saying that someone with Blonde Hair and Blue eyes would understand Chinese culture a lot better than someone who is Chinese, grew up in a Chinese household and lived in China for a long time?

</p>

<p>I’m white. I like Chinese food (not just Americanized Chinese food! But authentic!). I am intrigued by Chinese culture. Do I understand it as well as the person you described? No. But why can’t I appreciate it?</p>

<p>So yeah, I’m offended. </p>

<p>

Sure 1 out of a million times that may be true but still majority of the time it won’t be.

</p>

<p>Dude, have more faith and don’t be such a pessimist.</p>

<p>You wrote:

In most cases race = culture

and

So race in many cases has a correlation to culture.

</p>

<p>I disagree with the first. I agree with the second. </p>

<p>

there are some features I just don’t find desirable in a person and I don’t see the point of dating them for it since attraction also plays a role.

</p>

<p>I am not saying this makes you a bad person, but I just feel bad you automatically discount features. Because I think blonds, redheads, brunettes, white, blacks, Latinas, tall, short, etc…pretty much anything CAN be attractive.</p>
