Meh ... I grew up in the country and my mum never got spoken down to. Neither did my cousins who were in nearby town when my Aunt moved here too. people keep telling me that there are supposedly overt racist communities in Australia but I don't see it.Cyberjester said:Angry ugly mutts.PaulH said:Please ... Australia ... 50% of the population has one or more parents born from overseas. We're a pack of mutts.
Asian-British(half Spanish-British) stock here ... and proud!
That being said I'd like to think we're lovable mutts, however? Probably not true ... angry, ugly mutts ...?
I've got 3 different nationalities in 3 generations. And that's just on mothers side.
Slightly more on topic, most people will go for the same nationality as their own, it's just easier. Less cultural differences, no language barriers. I've seen immigrants (In Aus, the irony there..) who group together so tight that no-one else can get in. You have people threatening others who try to learn the language, customs.
Then you get.. Almost racist. The English fascination with Asian peoples, that's still pretty strong.
So racist or racist or racist is your choice.![]()
Well, it would certainly explain my alternate attraction to Kurdish women...PaulH said:Well, supposedly it's gotten better lately. Less diehard catholicism and more .... well less Catholicism. I'll let you know when I go in June for a working holiday ^_^NeutralDrow said:I don't think you could possibly top William Taft's description of them as his "little brown friends." At least he did seem to practice what he preached, unlike US involvement in the Philippines as a whole at the time, from what I understand.PaulH said:Ahh Filos ... salt of the earth if I may indulge my latent racism (atleast it's nice racism?). Mumsy is Filo, nice people ... scarily catholic ... you haven't seen a Stations of the Cross until you go to the Philippines ...NeutralDrow said:Well, my last girlfriend was Filipino.
I've come to find she's actually colored my preferences quite a bit (darker skin tone and darker, fairly straight hair...and low alto voice, B/C-cup, shorter than me, and I should really stop). Anyway, Pacific Islander or European would be my primary interest, East Asian very close behind.
...why are "white" and "European" separate, by the way? Is it because "white" tends to mean different things in different countries?
As for the other...I can imagine. Might not be a coincidence that she was a lapsed Catholic, raised in the US (and Austria, a few years, from what she said), and fairly jaded anyway. And that we were friends a long time before trying dating (and friends afterwards until we kinda dropped contact).
I don't really care about skin colour bujt I quite like the Filo skin complexion. I think it's just that I used to have overt Filo exposure as a kid, and all my cousins on my mother's side spoke tagalog when I don't speak a word of it ;.;
So they used to tease me all the time o.o Plus they were older than me <.< I guess my family turned me off Filo girls o.o
Now with reduced exposure I like them n.n
Criminalisation by association?

Nevermind any missed races, what you really should care about is the lack of the "If the girl is hot then I'm game. I couldn't care less about race, and find all sorts of women attractive!"-option.SkyeNeko said:Ok, so I'm a black/asian girl (i look more black though), and the first thing id like to point out is that the only guys who think im pretty are black guys. I rarely see any races dating outside of their own race. first of all i think its not fair because i dont think ill find a black/asian guy (and i dont want to), and second of all, why? how many escapists out there like to date men/women from other races?
EDIT: sorry if i missed a race there arent alot of spaces to put answers for the poll =_=
No, but I was half-raised with some (and heard Kurdish and Spanish almost as frequently as English, most days), until I was about 12 and able to get home on my own from middle school. Both my parents worked. We're still close friends with the family.PaulH said:You're a Kurd? n.n Where'd you're parents come from? n.nNeutralDrow said:Well, it would certainly explain my alternate attraction to Kurdish women...PaulH said:Well, supposedly it's gotten better lately.
