ORIGINAL: Roger39m I have noticed that alot of folks are coy about mentioning their "racial preferences" in their profiles etc. However, they very much have these racial preferences and will filter you out later after ascertaining you do not belong to their "race". The catch is they do this indirectly without ever mentioning race as the reason you were filtered out of their considerations, but it is pretty obvious in any event. While it is entirely appropriate to have racial preferences, would it not be better to state them up front saying for example .."I am white, and only desire other whites"... rather than being ambiguous about it up front and using indirect reasons to eliminate people? Your thoughts please. It is easier to deal with it on a case by case basis, rather than post it and possibly set themselves up for a flood of unneccessay hate mail. Just because someone choses to be with or exlude a particular race, does not mean they have anything againt people of that race, it simply a personal preference. Something they are under no obligation to justify or explain.
