You post this in the dating & Relationship section, so I'm answering mainly that aspect of your question.

Why do people care about it: because it does make a difference maybe?
People from different races (and thus often different colour, but NOT always!!!) have a different cultural background. Sometimes that background is not compatible or difficult to live with, it can cause all kinds of issues.

So choosing to not go for such a partner (or friends even) is not racist, there's nothing wrong with it. If you don't match, you don't match. You can still love them as a human being, just that you don't want them for a friend or partner or whatever.
So what? We all have freedom of choice. That includes white people as well.

Why do people obsess about it (if they do at all): Maybe because it's forced upon us and thus there's no freedom of choice there?
Government ram different cultures down our throats, whether we like it or not, whether it is compatible or not.
People generally don't react agreeable when things get rammed down their throats ...

waving So you decided to stay, a woman's perogative to change her mind.
You will find on the forums people have preferences, not everyone connects as easily as we wish. Few are rascist and culture matures because of communication difficulties.

So chill, like attracts like and the world is not a 'fairy tale' of unity as most wish for and some do not wish for.
But we try and kudos to everyone for that.

By posting this topic it could be that you are obsessed with racism OP.
I never even think about it until I come on here, and I'm sure many other non racist people are the same, just a thought for you to chew over.

why r ppl still obsessed with race,colour etc

when you go to the store hungry for an apple , are you happy with an orange ?
its still a fruit
and no of course you are not, you want an apple

people want what they want
maybe they had a bad time with someone of a color or race and that tossed them off the idea of going there again or reminds them of that person
the reasons are endless really
or maybe they are allergic to mexican food so they stay away from mexacan's

why do people do any thing they do
cause they can or they want too
<shrug>

And if people ever get tired of thinking about race, color, etc., there is always someone who will mention or even start a thread about such things. :smile:

People are attracted to what they like. Just because a person only dates inside or outside their race, doesn't make them racist

People are attracted to what ever it is.
In all the years I have been out here I have seen people
Upset because some are attracted to heavy people, some attracted to skinny people,
Different Religions
Different cultures,
Different races..

The only time I ever think about any of these things is when I come out onto the forums.

OP you have a choice you can fight against the tide or you can seek the match for you and let the rest go by the wayside

It warms my heart to read your words young lady knowing you are not looking at the world through rose colored glasses. Myself I don't try to worry about it because people are gonna believe what they want to believe. The ones I can't stand are the ones that use race as a tool, to jump on their soap box and blame the world for their position in life.I also agree with Yellow Rose that people are attracted to what they like and that does not make them racist.Best of luck to and good luck in your search.flowerforyou

in a word, conditioning

the very same way pavlovs dogs learned to replace their natural physiological response to food with a response to a bell


our mind puts things in categories so we can recall them easier,, during our lives our experiences cause certain 'correlations' to form so that we replace one stimuli with another

for instance,, few people like pain, most have an adverse reaction to the thought of being hurt

so let , say, a female have several experiences where men hugged them and then smacked them

that female would probably replace her NATURAL aversion to pain with an aversion to hugs which she would be subconsciously associating with pain

the same is true of race , people have experiences with members of a certain race, or read about experiences, or care about someone with experiences,,and they associate that experience with the race and indirectly with anyone of that race
