Soooo this week's topic in my sociology class is [u]race and ethnicity[/u]
You can take this test to see which race you associate things with

Where I live, you don't see mixed couples a lot.
And guys aren't very open to what kinda girl they would date
Too many times have I been told "You're pretty, but I don't date[i] black [/i]girls."
So yeah, it still matters in some places, does it matter to you? Would you maybe go for an Asian girl and not a black girl? Is it the culture or the physical traits that scare you away? Does it matter what your family thinks?
I'd like to share the results in my class discussion, thanks.
Edit:
Yes I'm a black girl, equivalent to a unicorn apparently
My parents have been together for 30yrs SO yes I have a -blam!-ing dad
I have been dating a white guy 4 1/2 years
However him being white has nothing to do with it, I actually don't have strong physical attraction to him.
I base my attraction on masculinity, not the color of someone's skin.
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RACE AND ETHNICITY PLEASE

Skin color is too shallow of a reason to not date someone for me anyways. For me, its all about their face and their personality. I don't want to date a girl who has a manlier face than me. (Very shallow of me, I know) For personality, I don't care if the girl looks like the image of a goddess, if she has a real stuck-up, bitchy personality, she might as well be the ugliest girl in the world to me. I am a sucker for the gentle, sweet (possibly shy) types. Something about them just draws me to them.
