It's seem as though race is a hot issue on these forums, and I'm about to add to it, because it really is a pretty major issue. What's up with all of these minorities (Asians) seeking white approval with threads like, "Do Asians have a chance"? I mean, is it just me or is there something seriously wrong with a group of people who refuse to date their own race, but rather seek the approval of someone white, even though they may be fat, bald and 30 years older?
It's not just Asians. I'm starting to see the same disturbing phenomenon among other blacks. I'm different in that I don't seek out white approval, it would be nice to for once get some MINORITY approval. I'm proud of my black heritage, but also of my visibly white heritage, yet view myself for what I am--a minority. What bothers me is the seemingly large number of minorities who are only interested in white men.
To test this out, I signed up two accounts on manhunt, one describing myself as a mixed (2/3 blk 1/3 wht) guy looking for other hot guys around my age, that showed my six pack and tan. Then, I made up a nearly identical ad, except this time I was white, and the picture was with a shirt on. Both pics were headless, so there was really no way for interested guys to gauge the attractiveness of the guy.
Needless to say, the white ad received more interest from all races in a shorter amount of time, despite the fact that I have a visibly more attractive body. While I do agree people are entitled to preferences, I have a serious problem with minorities looking at another minority profile and automatically dismissing it, but at the same time jumping at a white profile. My profile got more interest from whites than other minorities! WTF
Before I start reading about the media and how it "influences" us, it should be said that this same phenomenon is not observed in the straight community. Minorities are interested in other minorities for the most part. Why is it any different in the gay community?
Also, if I were all white I'd probably only be interested in white guys and would be irritated that all of these minorities would be interested in me. White guys like white guys, why in the hell can't minorities be interested in each other? Being interested in someone who looks like you isn't racist, but normal. I think a lot of minorites need to have that hammered into their heads.
Furthermore, most white men are NOT interested in minorities, and these stupid white chasing people of color just throw themselves at whatever white man they can get, even if he's not that goodlooking. I've seen it over and over again.
It just shows weakness and insecurity in my opinion, especially in instances where the minority is VISIBLY more attractive than the white guy. If I were as pathetic as some of these minorities I'd go around saying how I'm 1/3 white and have white features, but I don't do that. I'm proud to be black.
It just bothers me that this early on in life I'm already noticing many instances of this and can only imagine it will get worse. I guess this country was built on the principal of racial superiority (white) and it's still evident today, even in the gay community.
