Dating by Race nowadays

My mom is native Filipino and my dad is white. I suppose she was a typical white-gold digger, but she was already a citizen when they met at the JCs and she's certainly not slutty or stupid. I love being an interracial child. I get to experience two different cultures, one of which is very close-knit and vibrant, and I neither blend in nor stick out anywhere. I grew up not even knowing what race was and certainly not caring about it. It was part of my value system to look down on uneducated people, so it made me a little shocked to realize some of those people were looking down on me because of who my parents are.
Some people call me "identity-confused" because I don't call myself either Filipino or white. I'm definitely not that. I know who I am and I like it. What color I am has nothing to do with it. The race identity other people put on me, though, is a little different. The way I look is pretty much unplaceable - my skin is pretty light, so you can tell by looking that I'm not of African origin, but that's about it. When I'm with Filipinos, I'm a white girl (the fact that I'm not very fluent in Tagalog helps with that). When I'm not with Filipinos, I've been classified as Arab, Hispanic, Eurasian, Caucasian, Indian... everything but Southeast Asian, actually, although I'm technically that, because I don't have "Asian-eyes". Once I went to sign up for a comic-writing class at an Asian-American writing workshop on 32nd street that's open to everyone of at least half-blood from absolutely every country in the continent of Asia. The guy at the front (who was Korean) looked at my eyes and said, "I'm sorry, this class is only for Asian girls."
Maybe, but what I am is American! There are some bad things about this country, but one of the best things about it is there's really no such thing as an American-looking person. We're a multicultural society, and we've always been one and will always be one. Certain groups and countries can claim otherwise, but I think that's what makes us great.

I don't really care about race. It doesn't matter, but since I'm Asian I'm just a little bit more attracted to them. 😳
I've been hearing alot about how Asian girls dig White guys but somehow everywhere I go I only see asian+asian. 😮

Im white.. and im attracted the most to asian girls.. when i say asian i mean like japanese, korean, and maybe chinese... i am so much more attracted to them then white girls, no offense.. just think asian girls are not the "sexy" type which i dont like but more of the "cute" and just pure beauty type. ussually mixed girls asian/white are extremely cute...

Because this is a manga site a lot of people will be attracted to Asians. Which is no problem. But as for me I'm more of a whatever float my boat at the time kinda person

i am an asian dude, but if you know i am pretty mch white on the inside so dont kno where that leaves me, but anyways i love all types of girls as long as they are attractive/ or have a good personality tho to be honest i am partial to the white girls and asian girls, not the blacks or hispanics just because there arent any nice ones where i live, no scratch that there arent many full stop.
but like i said i am asian but white on the inside so maybe that explains my attraction for asian girls, cos there is just something extra when it comes to asian girls from my point of view disregarding the fact that i am into anime and manga, that white girls just dont have. its like some indefineable quality that separates the attractive white girls and the attractive asian girls.

Well, I grew up in a pure Hispanic and White neighborhood. The first time I saw another Asian (besides my mother and sister) was when I was 13. Truth be told, I have never really dated another Asian. Not because I'm exclusive but I just.. haven't had the chance. Lol. I do find some Asian guys attractive, I like their small eyes. (hahahaha~ XD)
But I'm more comfortable with Hispanics than Asians. ___
I'm not the type to date by race. Just as long as they're a good person, and has a sense of humor. (Which I'm sure you can find in any race!)

We could be two peas in a pod. 🤣
I have the same exact issues that I don't even know how to further elaborate. I do remember the dirty looks we would get at the grocery store when I was younger, but not even really knowing the meaning behind it. I also definitely know the feeling of not fitting in with either groups.
In regards to dating, I have a couple of types more or less (assuming that we are talking about looks, considering it would be sort of hard to determine a person's personality base on their skin color), but I don't really think that race has anything to do with it. My current bf thought I was Italian, until he met my Mom. And obviously being the product of an interracial marriage - it's aaaallll right with me.

I'm pure Chinese, but I'm an ethnic minority where I live. I still prefer to be with other Chinese guys. I love my culture, I don't want to lose it by marrying someone from another race. Besides, it spares me all the grief and disdain from the family and community...
Plus Chinese guys are hot... for me anyway. 😀

I am what some people call a half cast, half white and half black...to be honest i have had no real preference so far on which girls i would consider dating by race. I think it really comes down to a matter of preference, even if it does sound odd many people will choose dates based on race 🤣
Example:
My black friend whom i've known for at least 5 years has never dated anything else but white girls, he's good at it and i don't think will ever change his preference 🤣
Acording to the poll it looks like: asian people tend to stick to their own race alot more than others, i bet its to do with the culture aswell.

I believe in letting people do as they wish, as do I myself. Sometimes, of course, what I wish to do is kill them and they do not wish to die. This gives life interest.

i kinda see the pt but @ the same time i kinda dnt think it matters, wat i think matters is the personality [and sometimes the face, i no im vain.] but there hav been cases of marriage breakdown on the basis of race unfortunately =|

Since I'm Chinese my family expects me to date another Chinese person. Other Asians are okay as LONG as they aren't Japanese (ironically), they used to have problems with Koreans too but then my parents got really into kdramas...
I guess I sort of stick with Asians because they are easier to get closer to since I am Asian, though I am also attracted to other races. It's not the skin color that counts anyway.

'Lo. Black girl here (so formal, huh?).
I don't care, race doesn't matter to me and I think people should be able to marry whomever they choose.
That being said, I actually tend lean towards asian guys (especially koreans, yumm~) 🤣 . I'm one of the few and proud, I guess, staring at the 5,000 statistic for asian males and black females. Anyway, I've had a crush on at least one person from most of the races, though (hispanics, blacks, europeans, the whole mix). I guess, what I mean to say is, while I lean, I don't discriminate? 🤣
