I believe that I am quite open about races, having no prejudices against any one race. I am also post pubescent, exhibiting a natural sexual attraction toward other people, which sex education assured me is healthy.

Today, I had a revelation about my preferences, which has never occurred to me: I am not sexually attracted to black women.


I was watching an episode of Star Trek TOS, where Lt. Uhura was being pleasant as ever. The actor (still) is stunning, as are many other black people, each of whom I would not hesitate to use as an example of the beauty of humans. I just cannot find any of them "sexually" enticing.

Is there anything wrong with this? Is it a symptom of my subconscious racial prejudice I have against black people? There aren't many black people where I live, and the only black women I have seen in my school were all obese.

edit: I just noticed I spelled subconscious in the title wrong.

It's no big deal. What might be a bigger deal would be if someone you found emotionally, mentally, socially attractive became incompatible with you because of their skin tone.

No idea what your issue is. I didn't grow up around black women either, but I've seen any number walking down the street that made me want to bite their apple bottoms.

I am not sexually attracted to black women.


You don't know this, you may one day see a black woman you do find sexually attractive.

Everyone is subconsciously racist.

Shut up, whitey.

That's what I thought, but then again I've seen so many American movies with beautiful black people.

*shrug* It's just a sexual preference. Struth, I don't see the appeal either. :p

Well, if you're genuinely not attracted to black people, there's nothing wrong with that. You can't choose who you're attracted to, so there was no more moral alternative you could have chosen.

is this a picture thread?

everyone has their kinks I guess maybe your just repressed and refuse to have a kinky jungle slave

I want a kinky jungle slave. She's got to be white or hispanic, though. I'm just not attracted to black women.

I edited to make my statement more... clear.

It's not so much the race, but having the woman I like wearing nothing but a few leaves strung together with some twine, climbing trees, totally enslaved, but slightly out of control.

It would be like my first marriage all over again.

SNIP

you' know beyonce is pretty much all I can think of :(

Neither you nor George Bush cares for or about Black people.

Asian works for me.

job done then time to find you a Chinese bride (has to be Chinese because it would be like dating a Polish bird in terms of house chores)

Shut up, whitey.

That's conscious racism. Be a little more subtle if you want to be considered subconscious.

shut up, Boss? :tongue:

I view you with inherent distrust, but its not because you're black, its because you seem more hostile.

Haha that's just fine. I asked the NSG psychiatrist because this a question I wouldn't want to be seen asking in public.

Had the answer been "yes there is something wrong with you," then the discussion would've turned out more interesting.

I kind of always felt bad that I don't really like Asian girls...until I saw this Asian lady pool champ who makes me turgid.

But I notice that she has a stick and balls, so it might just mean I'm gay.

No, I don't think it's a sign of racism, people of different races have different physical features/skin tones, and if you don't find those physical qualities sexual attractive, that's not racist. Myself, I find white and Hispanic women to be the most attractive.

How much is this going to cost me?

Is there anything wrong with this?

No. Just like there is nothing wrong with people who are not attracted to blondes, to fat women, women with blue eyes and so on. We do not choose who we are attracted to - which is why love is often so full of drama :p

How much is this going to cost me?

iirc Chinese parents will pay you ;)

*wonders if your gonna get a surprise with your bride*

edit: HS look at the 18-19 section

but who would you choose if you could?

Possibly someone I know I can live with ;) As far as looks are concerned the question is irrelevant - if I can choose what I am attracted to I could choose to be attracted to anything.

Only problem is she would probably make me lots of chinese food.

I hate chinese food.

China is a big place. Food varies alot ;) Not to mention that the stuff sold in Chinese restaurants is.. how shall I put it.. not really Chinese :p

It is a symptom. You're subconsciously racist.

No, there's nothing wrong with this. Quite the contrary, it proves you're trustworthy and virtuous to your peoples' genes.

George Bush loved the blacks

well if your not into that there is plenty of other impoverished nations...and Russia is just crawling with them :confused:

Is there anything wrong with this?

No. It seems most people are attracted to those with a similar tone of skin. This makes being "colorblind" or even preferring a different color than your own rather inconvenient, because it makes you more likely to become the victim of unrequited love. Also, depending on where you live, it might protect you from the drama that can be caused by dating someone from a very different culture.

Skin color, hair color, shape... it's all the same kind of thing, nothing wrong with having instincts that give you preferences.

Is it a symptom of my subconscious racial prejudice I have against black people?

It could be, but probably not. Does the fact this self-accusation got into your mind at all tell us something about the people around you?

There aren't many black people where I live, and the only black women I have seen in my school were all obese.

It's definitely not strange to not feel attracted to obese people. BTW IMHO It's also not strange to prefer them.

No, not being attracted to certian skin tones does not make you racist.

Just like not being attracted to brunettes doesnt mean you will strive to create a racially pure, "Aryan" society.

I think the fact that you've been conditioned to ask this is a sad commentary on how oversensitive our culture has become. Would it be sexist if you weren't attracted to women at all? Would it be some kind of evil discrimination if you realized you weren't sexually attracted to women with blonde hair? It's just a preference. You alone can determine whether or not you have a race problem, but I assure you it has nothing to do with your sexual preferences.

Yeah this. As usual somebody said it better and in fewer words than I did.

First of all, no. There is nothing wrong with not finding another ethnic group generally unattractive. I have plenty of black friends who are girls, but I am genuinely unattracted to any of them, nor have I ever seen a black woman I would date.

Had the answer been "yes there is something wrong with you," then the discussion would've turned out more interesting.
Then I'll bite. There is something wrong with you, and that somethings is ... ah ... it is ... an deficiency of ... fiber. I suggest eating three whole heads of cabbage to correct your problem.

Oh Fiddles, that's your solution for EVERY-thing. Can't you be just a little more original? Just this once?

So what? I personally am not attracted by blonde-haired and black-haired women (I prefer brunettes and redheads). This doesn't make me a racist. Why should not liking women with dark skin make you a racist? Surely you don't imply that BECAUSE you aren't attracted by those women they are inferior as group of people.

Everyone is subconsciously racist.

I've yet to see anyone who makes this accusation actually prove it. Care to give it a shot?

I was more original that usual. Normally I say, "Two heads of cabbage and a stalk of broccoli." This time I switched it up a bit, with "Three heads of cabbage and no broccoli."
I'm really living it up out on the edge tonight! Woo boy!

If you had a knowledge of sociology enough to be informed on the subject, you wouldn't need me to. But I'm an obliging fellow, so here you go.

Are you kidding me! This totally makes you a racist bastard. Only racist find black women unattractive.

All of that was a joke btw. No I'm sure your fine its just sexual preference.

Can you show that the test in question is in any way valid? Besides, even IF the test is valid it can not be taken as proof that everyone is subconsciously racist unless everyone has taken said test. Can you prove that everyone has and that the test is valid or will you retract your claim?

I'm not sure what you mean when you say you're not attracted to black women. Are you not attracted to certain shades of skin? Are darkly-complexioned women of other races also not sexually stimulating to you?

Everyone is subconsciously racist.
What does that even mean?


No, there's nothing wrong with this. Quite the contrary, it proves you're trustworthy and virtuous to your peoples' genes.
Say wha...?

Only white people can be racist, didn't you know that? If you're not white, then you're in the clear racism-wise.

There's nothing wrong with not finding a specific race sexually appealing. Personally, I've not really ever found Asian women to be all that attractive.

Personally, I wouldn't be so snotty and then cite a post off of someone's blog as a definitive source. You really gotta go with either one or the other.

Even in joke form, this victim act is still annoying.

Anyone that claims to be a non racist .. is at least subconsciencely a bit racist. They just think they're better than they really are.

I'm in the same boat as the OP. I do find Beyonce and Halle Berry attractive, but to be honest, the features I find attractive in them are white-esque; both women are at least half white, after all.

Anyone that claims to be a non racist .. is at least subconsciencely a bit racist. They just think they're better than they really are.

People really need to stop making this bullshit claim. Stop trying to justify your own issues.

What does that even mean?

Possibly they meant hat every human discriminates. Which seems to be true - I have never met someone who liked every other person equally.

Haha that's just fine. I asked the NSG psychiatrist because this a question I wouldn't want to be seen asking in public.

Had the answer been "yes there is something wrong with you," then the discussion would've turned out more interesting.

Ha, but there isn't anything wrong with it at all. It would be similar to saying a gay guy is sexist because he doesn't find women sexually attractive.

Possibly they meant hat every human discriminates. Which seems to be true - I have never met someone who liked every other person equally.

Have you met someone who disliked every other person equally?

Even in joke form, this victim act is still annoying.

I'd hate to think you were annoyed, and by something so small as a joke, too. That is unconscionable on my part. I recommend deportation. Although, if that becomes general policy, this is going to be one lonely and under-populated forum.

Have you met someone who disliked every other person equally?

Nope. So I have never met a person that did not discriminate :p

Nope. So I have never met a person that did not discriminate :p

Not surprising. Discrimination is a basic mental process for us humans. It's hard to get rid of. And much of the time it's advantageous, so why would we want to get rid of it?

That said, I think black women are very sexually attractive.

Everyone is subconsciously racist.

False.

There's a difference between xenophobia and racism.

1.It's a blog. And a race-biased blog too, as it is clear if you care to read the header. The blogger classifies potential contributors by their race/ethnicity.

2.Took the test linked.
(result.Your Result
Your data suggest little to no automatic preference between African American and European American.)
The test FIRST gives you an association test where an error makes you associate "evil" with "african" (thus showing a "anti-black bias")... THEN gives you another association test where an error makes you associate "evil" with "european".

Of course, since it's the second time you do the task, you're less likely to make errors.

Also the sociological profiling in the preliminary is terrible. There was no choice for my own occupation, no choice representing my studies although it was possible to say that I'm an Italian living in Italy, and, curiously enough,
in the "race" section all ethnicities were differentiated by geographical area of origin... EXCEPT for the "caucasian", here called "white".

To sum it up, the Implicit Test is totally bollocks, and explicitly engineered to scream "OMG RACISM".

Only white people can be racist, didn't you know that? If you're not white, then you're in the clear racism-wise.

Black men who date white women are obviously racists. Self-hating racists at that. Much like white liberals who go around proclaiming how everyone (read that everyone who's white) is secretly racist.

Anyone that claims to be a non racist .. is at least subconsciencely a bit racist. They just think they're better than they really are.

Lets see if you have better proof than the last person to make that statement in this thread. Please try to pull up more than a dodgy test.

I'm waiting . . .

Nah Khan, nothing's wrong; you just aren't attracted. I've passed up tall, blond, and athletic for short, pale, and kind of pudgy. We all have different things we are attracted to.

I kind of always felt bad that I don't really like Asian girls...until I saw this Asian lady pool champ who makes me turgid.

But I notice that she has a stick and balls, so it might just mean I'm gay.

You'll never know, with that pretentious facial hair.

If there is one thing which really gets my goat, it's a goatee. :mad:

edit: I just noticed I spelled subconscious in the title wrong.

Fixed.

*shrug* It's just a sexual preference. Struth, I don't see the appeal either. :p

Happens to me too, cause I haven't met many hot black girls/women. I honestly haven't met many hot Indians either, which is worse cause this one assclown expects me to marry one, and once even asked whether my parents would arrange my marriage. (Disclaimer: I am Indian)
