    Over statement. Every man out there has in his heart of heart that which appeals to him. Men are far more visually oriented creatures than are women.
    What good looks are to one won't turn another's head. Racism requires the involvement of your head not your libido.

    I don't care what color you are, if you look like Gabriel Union, I want to "date" you.

    A lot of black women don't want black men to date or marry white women, and do all they can to discourage it. Those black women are definitely racists.

    But if you’re saying that about an entirely group of people, 99% of whom you’ve never even met, you’re asserting that they all share a particular set of characteristics you find unappealing.

    Sure, you can identify specific characteristics which do or don’t appeal (though we can often be surprised by the individuals we end up finding attractive). This issue occurs when someone declares that every single member of a particular racial group is automatically incapable of having the features they like or always has the features they don’t like. It wrongly presumes hard divisions and lack of internal diversity which even if is not intentionally racist in itself, reflects and promotes racist attitudes.

    Russia is no more evil than we are. But the left used to know this and obviously went into a deep slumber, because they hate trump. Ironic that the right wingers were the first McCarthy boys and now its the left wingers!! You cannot make this crap up due to the utter absurdity of it, but it does show what deep hatred creates. Idiots, IMO.

    In what way? Why does not attractive equal inferior? You're making an unwarranted assertion here. I don't buy Mercedes Benz cars this year. I don't "prefer" them. That doesn't mean they are inferior. It means that for me, I prefer other things. I like the lines of Italian cars. And while even the AMG GTS S cabrio is pretty sexy, it isn't nearly as sexy as a new 488, or for that matter a DB11. This is a question of preference, not "superior" or "inferior".

    not 'right now'....the Asian connection is fairly common with military guys..been going on a long time. Philippines, Okinawa, Vietnam, Korean War...

    Small-town me first encountered the white (and black) guy-Asian girl thing when I was stationed in San Diego in the 80s. Totally spitballing, but I suspect a combination of things are in play with that....the fact that there's a relatively large Asian population on the west coast, there's a fairly large Navy-Marines presence on the west coast, Asian women are no doubt exotic with generally 'fit' bodies, and a sizable number of kids who join the Navy-Marines hail from fly-over country, which means their exposure to the exotic, mysterious charms of Far Eastern women has likely been limited to television and movies.

    They get married, they get transferred....which is likely why military towns often have a higher than average population of Asians.

    Would be an interesting thing to study...

    I am observing college kids pairing up on a regular basis

    And while the white guys are average at best the asian girlfriends are usually top tier in looks

    But not just looks

    Chances are the women are accomplished also

    My guess is the guys are top students and the asian girls get first dibs over the other girls for which one they want

    Who said being a nerd cant be cool?

    We did not murder 6-8 millions of Ukrainians in a Russian -Stalinist manufactured genocide. So do not tell me thatvRussia is like us.

    I said russia not the communist USSR. We saw the communist revolution as a clear and present danger to democracy and capitalism. That revolution died with the USSR.

    So how many amerindians did we murder as they were trying to keep their land? Point is, america has done much evil and yet we ignore our own? Only russia is evil? Right.

    I didn’t say “attractive”, I said “physically or romantically appealing”. We’re not talking about people saying they don’t think certain individuals are attractive, we’re talking about people who declare that they could never consider entering in to any form of intimate relationship with anyoneof that given race. It isn’t about assessing individual appearance, it’s about declaring that there is something fundamentally different about that race which makes them unappealing. Given being able to establish relationships is key to propagating the species (certainly at a naturalistic level), I’d say that is suggesting an inferiority of that entire race.

    Presumably that’s because you’ve looked at the Mercedes currently available and decided they don’t individually appeal to you. You’re not saying that every single Mercedes built, past, present and future will automatically have characteristics that will mean you refuse to every consider buying one. Some people do say that kind of thing about brands of cars and they’re wrong too.

    The Soviet Union was nothing more than the evil imperialist Czarist Russia in fact it had almost the same borders. Communism was and is an evil no honest or intelligent person should ever deny that.

    The Trumpeizdas are afraid of admitting that Russia did try to influence our election process because why? Because trump has an overgrown out of control childish ego and thinks that just because it is absolutely true that Russia had at least made an attempt to influence our election process he thinks admitting that diminishes his victory. I am not even talking about collusion because that has not been proven and we do not know how far up or deep it may have penetrated the Trump organization or his Fanhood.

    So now Trumpeizdas do not even want to admit that Russia is a rival, an enemy, and a country bent on doing us harm politically and economically. So just because Trump farts out that mantra virtually every day and twice on Sunday that Russia did not influence our process even one iota Trumps fans are falling all over themselves to prove what great fans of Russia they are.

    We were not good guests here in North or South America and yes we did commit genocide by a trillion paper cuts but except for during WWII when we threw Japanese and Japanese American citizens into gulags were a pretty good sort of people.

    Ok ok we stole some land from Mexico but the Spaniards had stolen it from the natives before us. And yes we treated the Indians like savages which they were not until we provoked them and that was wrong but we mended our ways since the Pilgrims held their Fake land of religious freedom.

    Why be so obviously pejorative about this. I don't expect that anyone articulating a preference intends that to be immutable, or unchangeable. It's simply a preference. I would also caution that cars and sex partners aren't an exact correlation, but, I know that over time, folks change, and so do their preferences. Just ask anyone former single guy who had a sportscar and now drives a minivan.

    But more, the important part of the observation is that preference doesn't infer "superior" or "inferior" It just is.

    I really don't think you're able to say this. More folks than just me have wondered why the last administration was so unable to stop systemic hacking of election systems , and made mention of it during the last election cycle. To date, I recall that the O administration went to great pains to demonstrate or at least assert that no such systemic hacking was accomplished. So, I wouldn't say that folks who support Trump would be afraid of "admitting" anything. I think it's a matter of actual record that there was, and frankly still is, concern here.

    Now, As soon as you reference the contents of the Steele docs, I assert the same concern exists. I, lots of others, are hugely concerned with the idea that mr Clinton funded a foreign intel operations at the behest of the Obama administration to execute an intelligence sting on the Trump campaign. I am very concerned with that. And to the extent that ms Clinton leveraged a foreign national intelligence service, who interacted with several other foreign governments in the execution of that sting, I have significant concerns about that. I'd say that given this, that at least those elements invested in by the Clinton campaign et al and the Obama administration, and now as it turns out the active use of the FBI to accomplish this, that yes, I am very concerned about how those parts of the Russian government have colluded with these initiatives.

    You seem like a sensible liberal based on the last couple of posts I’ve read from you. It’s good to see.

    Study breaks and Giselle Krachenfels are part of some right wing conspiracy? LOL

    Just because right wing sites go “hey look at this goofy liberal crap going on over here” doesn’t mean the left wing source is fake.

    They’re warming that one up in the progressive bullpen. I think it’s still another decade or two away before it starts gaining real traction

    It surprises you that liberals argue both sides of a position, depending on what they believe will better suit their purpose at any given moment?
    How? Why?

    The media is filled with articles that promote mixed race marriages, having mixed race children, the importance of not having more than 2 children because it’s bad for women’s health and is harmful to the environment, how we need to be accepting of massive levels of non-white immigration, and now whites are being shamed for wanting to date inside of their race, which is the preference of other races as well.

    The end result of all of these policies being promoted in these articles is that the white race stops growing, and begins to shrink. Why do they want that? Strange, it’s almost like the media is controlled by groups who have a long history of hating white people.

    Again, we’re not talking about people simply expressing a preference, we’re talking about people who are racist where one of the ways they express their racism is by (falsely) claiming that nobody of their target race could ever be in any way appealing and not just to them personally but in general. This isn’t about “I don’t find XXXXs appealing.”, it’s about “XXXXs are all ugly!”.

    I go further back to the roots of racism and why it is part of all humanity.

    We think we abandoned the primary purpose of racism but the truth is that it is in our make up.

    Go back to early days of tribes. Tribes would plunder other tribes. They would nab the women. They stole food. To teach the family not to trust others, racism was conceived.

    I do not think it is superior as some present it as much as it is defensive. f

    Some say we are not tribes.

    We have tribes of Democrats and tribes of republicans. They fight all the time with each other.
