(though i havent seen any blue or purple ones yet... hmmm)
I never saw a purple cow
I never hope to see one.
But from the milk we're getting now
there certainly must be one.

I thought that was Ogden Nash, but I can't prove it.

i've only ever dated white guys... hell, i've only ever dated brunettes... it's not so much a racial thing, i have been interested in people of other races, nothing's come of it though.

i have to say though, if i was a lesbian, asian all the way. asian women tend to be beautiful.

1. White
2. Mixed, Indian, Hispanic, Asian, Black or whatever else there is.

I generally prefer white since i am white, but the preference isn't overly significant. If the girl is hot, it really doesn't matter which 'race' she is. Hotness trancends racial barriers...

I prefer Hispanic. But it shouldn't matter what race somebody is anyway. We are all HUMAN BEINGS.

Though it's handy to spot the ones who say "White only" so we can laugh at 'em. What d'yer reckon it is that makes people concerned about race? Can't be innate, no other species that I know of is so fussy about superficial differences.


You ridicule people who are white-only, but whites who only date non-whites, you exalt them as the pinnacle of the modern symbol of diversity. HYPOCRISY!

I'm not really that fussed over ethnicity, but I really dig goth girls...(as in the subculture, not the barbarians who sacked Rome :p).

Also female clowns, for some reason. Must be the makeup. ;)

Life would be a lot simpler if we all just spelt words the same way, and since the language was British first, then it would make sence to spell it that (the British) way.

But who first codified their spelling system into a dictionary (one of the systems used today, not that random 18th century stuff)? Seriously, I'd like to know this.

Actually, there's a difference between "ONLY WHITES!" and "I PERFER such and such." In example 1, the poster is clearly a little shit. However, in example 2, the poster perfers a certain race over others-he is not saying that he will ONLY date that race.

In 1755, Johnson's Dictionary appeared in two large folio volumes. It represented about nine years of work, done almost single-handedly -- Johnson had only the assistance of a few amanuenses to copy out the quotations he marked. While he worked on the Dictionary, he also produced the Rambler and his contributions to the Adventurer.
Johnson originally approached Lord Chesterfield as a potential patron, but Chesterfield gave Johnson only a token sum (ten pounds), and Johnson worked more or less unsupported (except by advances from the booksellers). Shortly before the Dictionary appeared, Chesterfield published several favorable reviews in the magazines, which Johnson saw as a transparent ploy to receive the dedication normally paid to a patron. Johnson sent Chestfield one of the nastiest poison-pen letters in the English language on 7 February, 1755, including these famous lines:

Is not a Patron, my Lord, one who looks with unconcern on a Man struggling for Life in the water and when he has reached ground encumbers him with help?

I also believe, but not too sure, prior to this dictionary there had been another in use for about 150 years and was only changed when this one was created. Both were written in england

Human.

dragon chicks.... **smiles** or women who remind me of dragons.

Come over and see me some time then *g*

Myself I like anyone who can think for themselves and is not a typikal 'bloke'
ie - into football and drinking pints of lager with their mates staring at girls and making comments. Saying that ive never been out with any non-white bloke or anyone younger than me.

Ideal b/f would be Christopher Lee as the Count *weg*

High Priestess & Mother Superior
The Catholic Girls

I am open to someone who I like and who likes me, but I like Italians, they are generally very hot, appreciate girls with curves, and are bloody good cooks.
Greeks are also very good. They have yummy souvlakis and cool dances. I like races that tend to have big close families, I would love to live like that.

But if I have a choice between a white boy who is sweet and cares about me, and an Italian with a butt that won't quit and a fabulous family, I'd choose white boy any time :P

You ridicule people who are white-only, but whites who only date non-whites, you exalt them as the pinnacle of the modern symbol of diversity. HYPOCRISY!
but you assume we like diversity we dont well at least most of us

but you assume we like diversity we dont well at least most of us

Shut up and get out. You make me puke.

Black girls... Man, jesus christ they're hot.

NAOMI CAMPBELL ANYONE?

Hispanic girls come in as second, with white girls on a close third place.

I'm white myself.

ok a question to what seems like americans. I assume your mostly american by the racial breakdowns.
Black: refers to people of african descent only? or do you include aborigines, tamales, etc...
Asian? refering to south east asia? or including india, middle east russia, etc..
white? only european white? or does it include also iran, russia, central asia... or are you refering to people who only fit into the germanic white catergory..
Hispanic: spanish descent (white)? spanish/american indian or indian who happen to be born in central and southern america minus brazil.
And when you say chinese or italian or whatever, are you refering to people of that descent that were born and raised in the US or from actual nationals?

White= European
Latino= White living in South or Central America
Hispanic used to mean Spanish or Portuguese, they're white though, always have been, always will be.

Now it's just white=white

Hispanic/Latino=mexican/central american (mestizo is the proper term because most are heavily mixed with native indians, aztec, inca, maya, etc)

Whites from nations such as Argentina (98% white) as mislabeled as Hispanics when they are actually white.


Black=sub-saharan african, and probably the Australian aboriginies are classified as black as well.

Asian= Mongoloid and Malay

The three races are White, Yellow, and Black, the other races are a mixture of various amounts of the three main races.

Mexicans are a mixture of asiatic (siberians that crossed into North America and down into Central America, becoming what we called indians) and then White blood (spanish conquerors)

Most in Central and South America that aren't 100% white are probably heavily native mix, or blacks descended from slaves (lots in Brazil and Colombia)

I don't count modern Iranians as white or asian, they are Persians, probably an entirely separate race. There are the three main races, and probably at least two to three dozen other races.

Too many to list right now, busy doing other things. I'll look for the complete listing though.

helpful. but i thought the term latino, refered to all nations south of the US. as they are latin based languages. which are white/blakc/brown/etc
hispanic can only refer to spanish speaking and not portuguese surely?!?
Is this information the standard, and do the other americans here agree?
the info could seem.....a tad racist to some

Uhh, can I cast a vote for a race that is vastly underrepresented in this thread? I choose eastern European Jews.

My Wife is half Russian and half Polish and all Jewish. Here are her good points:

1-After the Birth of our second child, she lost all her baby weight in about eight weeks. She looks as good now as she did when she was 16 years old.
2-She loves having sex...often...with me.
3-When I really want to turn her on, I let her give me oral sex. This drives her crazy.
4-She is witty, charming, incredibly kind, truthful, doesn't play head games of any kind, is a great mom, loves to keep the house clean and loves my parents.
5-She thinks I'm the greatest husband in the world because I can cook.

(Are you ready for the kicker?)

6-She makes $90,000 a year.

What race do I prefer???
Probably a female from the Human Race.
A good lookin woman is a good lookin woman regardless of her race.
If asked about diluting my own background. Well, I have english and german andirish and scottish and some american indian (very small amount) and probably some other unknowns so why not add to the variety.
Sorry to be so limiting but ya gotta have parameters sometime :D

Ahh, but I dont spell correctly because I'm an idiot, I dont pretend that when I misspell a word it is just a different variation of the language.

Life would be a lot simpler if we all just spelt words the same way, and since the language was British first, then it would make sence to spell it that (the British) way.
We didn't mean to imply that you were an idiot, but yes it would make senSe to spell things all the same way
