For the last time, i will try to convey this thought: it is a disconcerting notion (to me!) that A/anyone would actively select/deselect P/pl based solely on race or ethnicity. I got this the first go 'round, pinkee. Not sure why you have to beat a dead horse, but if that's your kink, who am I to judge? What I have been trying to get at and most of the other people who have written similar posts, is that... skin color, hair color, weight, height, net worth, occupation, whatever it might be... these are elements that may influence a person's choice in getting to know someone as a potential partner. It's just a preference... it may not be yours, but it is someone's... like the OP. It may make others feel squeamish, but it's no one else's business really. I was married to someone outside of my religion and race for many years, and we didn't care that others may not like it. When I went to his country of origin, I was stared at like an alien (which made me kind of giggly) when I went to some places that "foreigners" were not allowed to go. Personally, I don't limit myself to one particular ethnicity. I like the "buffet" approach to finding a partner, as it gives so many more choices. However, it is for no one on this site to judge another person's preference in partner. If color-blind is the world you choose to live in, that's wonderful. Some people might take exception to that, and I would say that they have no good cause to tell you that they think you are wrong for choosing to do so. I see on your profile that you ask the men who write to you to be "age-appropriate"... Some (though not me) may see that as being discriminatory because you have an age preference that suits your interest or needs better than others. Some (not me) may say that experience, not age, is a better barometer. If those people were to jump on you for expressing a preference, I would say that they can't make your decisions for you, and you - as a grown woman - know your 'druthers better than someone else. I don't think that "racial preference" is any stranger than "age preference." Neither one are gauges for me, and neither one make any difference if someone wants to choose a partner based on one or the other, because it is none of my business. I hope that this will make my position clearer to you as I feel that you have not understood my posts or those of others who have written similar ideas. As someone's signature line said, "It may not be your kink, but it's mine, and I don't answer to you."
