Jungle Fever aka Interracialosityness aka You're Dating a What??

[knowsbleed]

You're White... she's Black.

What's the big deal?

He's Asian and she's... uh... some other Asian.

What's the big deal?

Well, some people are absolutely offended when they see a Japanese person dating Black person. Other's have to swallow a little bit of their vomit when they see an Eskimo person with a Mexican. Well, some people, what the hell is your problem? Racial mixing makes our genes stronger... it's fun... and it's challenging.

I'm all for it.

What does make me go, "WTF Mate?" is when a person has an infatuation for a single race and makes it their own personal goal to date solely from that race. I see it a lot with men who will only go for Asian women... be them ugly or sometimes downright facestomped... they'll date them. My friend shows me pictures of his "conquests"... and I always give him the bitter beer face when he shows them to me. Why? Most of them aren't even attractive... they're just Asian.


Eat some different colors of Skittles every now and then, they all taste the same... trust me.

For the record... I just used Eskimos as an example. I myself have never known an Eskimo/Mexican couple.

 

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

I'm a black man and I prefer black women. It's just my preference. I have dated latina women in the past. I ultimately married a black woman. I don't have a problem with interracial dating. To each his own.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Me either. I'm an equal opportunity dater. I've dated almost every ethnicity at one point or another.

 

[TheZink]

I wish I had dated more women from other races before I got married.

I do blame my father and him being a rather intolerant biggot as a reason I never serisouly persued black women. The thought of bringing a black woman home to meet the family gives me nighmarish visions. I love the man to death, but he kills me with his ignorance.

 

[chamber-music]

If my family or anyone else ever said I don't like you dating a girl from another race I would tell them to gtfo.

 

[terry78]

It's them basically subconsciously asking, "what do they have that I don't?"

 

[chamber-music]

projecting the old insecurities and predjudices on others

 

[BlackLantern]

well im 1/2 black and 1/2 puerto rican...my dads family never truly forgave him for marrying a puerto rican and then wouldn't let him hear the end of it when she cheated on my dad when I was 3...thus leading to their divorce

I have dated a myriad of races myself, but I know older folks still trip about their daughters dating someone NOT monochromatic

 

[Ugfugly]

I think in general Filipinoes are pretty accepting of other cultures and races so I've never had issues from my family. They would be more mad if I married someone who is, say, Muslim, which I have in the past. My mother didn't mind but my aunties and uncles all were like WTF!?!

 

[Logan's Lady]

Though I am white and married a white man, I have found myself to be attracted to people of many different races/cultures.

I have crushed on Blacks, Filipino, Spanish, Korean and Puerto Rican. Seriously, to me it's about the persons personality mostly. The color of their skin doesn't change if I find them attractive or not.

 

[terry78]

With a lot of people it ain't the skin color so much as the culture. Every race has those things that the other races find negative.

 

[ChickenScratch]

I'm all for it, after all, my sister and I would not exist if not for interracial marriages.

 

[knowsbleed]

In my first post, I targeted people who themselves target only a single race/ethnicity other than their own. Does anybody here have the same type of attraction?

 

[Majic Walrus]

I find that to smack of racism. I've dated multiple people and multiple races. Everyone is different regardless of race.

What is everyone's obsession with interracial dating on this forum all of a sudden?!

 

[BlackLantern]

You're White... she's Black.

But sometimes you get some sour skittles

For the record, I'm perfectly fine with interracial dating. I like em all as long as they're fun, attractive and damn right full of awesomeness.

To be honest, my parents would probably look at me funny at first but then they'd eventually be accepting as long as i'm happy, im sure.

All the white geeks are trying to get with a sassy black chick. It's that ages old fantasy of sleeping with Storm.

 

[TheZink]

If my family or anyone else ever said I don't like you dating a girl from another race I would tell them to gtfo.

If it were to happen now, yes I would stand up to my father and tell him to get over it or go **** himself.

However, when I was in the dating game, I was dependent on my family, including my father. I was living with them while I was in college and needed their help. I don't think he would have kicked me out, but his attitude to any black girl would have been an embarrasment. He would have made rude hurtful remarks that would eventually put the two of us at odds. That's just something I didn't want to deal with at the time. When I lived under his roof, I'd rather not piss him off.

I can't blame him entirely for his thought process either. It is an ongoing cycle that was passed down from his family. Amazingly, my dad is from Pennsylvania and is more racist and intolerant than most people that I know here in Alabama...go figure.

As far as my attraction, I just like a type of skin color. I like lighter skin. That doesn't mean just white skin either. With caucasians, I prefer pale or very light color. I hate tans. Now, apply that to all ethnicities. I find a black woman with lighter skin to be very attractive (Beyonce, Hale Berry, Zoe Saldana). With latina women, the same rules apply as well as with japanese/chinese/pacific islander etc etc.

 

[Scourge2099]

I'm Creole (French , Black , and Native American) and Japanese. It doesn't matter if the chick is Black , Irish , Eskimo , Arab , etc. they'll always be different from me.

 

[PyroChamber]

I'm all for interracial dating, it doesn't matter what color the girl is I just want someone who's not going to constantly get on my nerves.

Plus, most of the people who want to complain about it are just nosy and need to mind their own business.

Not me, but I've experienced it. Growing up with my mom (who's asian), she always had some scrawny white dudes knocking down her door. Hell, she married a scrawny white dude. I hate it 'cause some of these people come off as really nice, well intentioned guys, til a few dates later and you find out they just got that yellow fever. like when someone asks you what's your type, your first answer shouldn't be a color, but maybe that's just me.

The important question here is, how hot is your mom?
