Sticking with your own kind

[INTrPosr]

I recall reading where INTPs are more comfortable having some similarity with their relationships (including platonic).

[Jezebel]

I don't have a problem with it based on the other person being a different race alone. But if there were huge cultural differences and we didn't communicate well it wouldnt work, just like it wouldn't work within the same race. I would also still have to find the person physically attractive, and I find some race physical types more attractive than others.

[MacGuffin]

Married outside my race. Wooo!

[jimkopelli]

My grandparents would go arrgh, but they can stuff it. I would like to try at some point. I had an offer once, in middle school, but I was a dumb kid. Shoulda gone for it.

[Horger]

Personally, my opinion on it depends on which races are in question.

[Division56]

No difference to me. It's hard enough to find an intelligent worthwhile person, I don't need to restrict the pool.


And by now, especially in America the racial pot has been stirring for a very long time. Most of us have at least a little mixed blood.

[Johnny]

No difference. Last I checked, there was only one race...

[Utopmk]

If you want to be a puppet, go for it. The government is using hip hop to encourage mixing of the races. It makes us all easier to control, like Cuba. I think I will stick with caucasian women only.

[Avengardh]

Heh, been there done that.
I don't have an issue about it...but if I was to say, right now, I wouldn't really date anyone who didn't know Spanish and English and was familiar with my culture. So, yeah, Mexicans are hot, but so are Cubans.

(Yes, I am just joking about the appearance-thing).

~*Aven*~

[last_caress]

Married outside my race. Wooo!

To a stormtrooper?

[MacGuffin]

Married outside my race. Wooo!

Ewok.

[greenintp]

Married & Divorced within my own ethnic group. Now common law outside my own ethnic group. Cannot seem to get it right inside our outside my own group.
Maybe I will look for someone on another planet (maybe a green intp :-) ).

[CosmicDust]

I had a crush outside my race once, but never a date. Personally, I'd just want someone whose values didn't clash with mine in a way that would make the relationship doomed, and that could theoretically occur with someone from any culture or subculture.

[Hypnos]

Are you stupid or joking?

[Claverhouse]

Personally, my opinion on it depends on which races are in question.

Quite, I find japanese women rather attractive, although I doubt I'd want one semi-permanently. Nothing really to do with racialism, I just don't find women from other ethnic groups in the least physically attractive; and per contra, I am more than certain they would feel the same way about me. You can't legislate for love.

Probably. I doubt if there will be a white race left in 200 years time. We're recessive, like blonde hair.


Claverhouse :ph34r:

[Birdsnest]

Oh, this question is about dating, not reproducing. Dates are ok with any race, however, having sex, marriage or babies is different. For me personally, my preference is to stick with the lineage you have because it is far less confusing to the child later. Two cultures are really hard to adjust to.

[s]

(edited: :hello: )
You don't like that you are unique?

I have embraced the fact that I do not fit in.

[Sam172]

I would have to say it would be pretty much own race.
Call me a racist, but I would never date a coloured person....

Maybe it'll change with age...

[booyalab]

In this day and age, I think having a topic centered around interracial dating is as dumb and irrelevant as taking a poll to see if people prefer blondes or brunettes...(by the way....call me hairist, but I prefer brunettes)

[Boozer]

I actually have a preference for girls outside my "race". Especially asian girls.

But what has caused me problems is how others have not approved of it. We would constantly get dirty looks from strangers, and both of our families were "cool" with it on the surface, but would try to sabotage it in subtle ways.

Plus I think if this melting pot stuff contiues (which I am all for) then americans may end up being another "race". And is it just me or are people of mixed race usually very attractive, often having the "best" qualities of thier races?

[Google Monster]

nothing wrong with it.

[BritainOphira]

I don't see anything wrong with it at all.

[cloakable]

Ewok.

:rofl:

Never dated.

[s]

The Kentucky gal doesn't care, but the English boy does. Interesting.

[Strephonade]

There are cultures and subcultures, ethnicities, and so on, but only one race, thus far. It all comes down to being reasonably intelligent and communicating calmly and clearly with each other in the end. ^_^

[Sam172]

To make it clear here, yes I am slightly racist. I don't want to be like this, in fact I had a nice chat with a coloured girl at school today. Just i've been brought up in a pretty much 98% white area, and I think it's kinda warped my mind.

So I would find dating someone such as a Slav, someone of middle eastern origin or a Korean all perferctly fine. Just when it comes to the more distinct race (look, i'm trying to be pc here...) then I would prefer to stay away.
*waits to get flamed*

I am a living reflection of the things that have happened to me. I'm sorry I can't pretend that we are all one big happy family, here on earth, but those kind of people get taken the quickest.

Care to share your real life experiences? I do not pretend we are a big happy family as I certainly know better. Unless you give a rational statement of your position, how am I supposed to know if your position is justified on your end? I do not know you personally, but I think a lot of this from you (and others) is puffery. I am genuinely interested in hearing why people are racists (and I mean really why). I am looking for a better understanding, so please share. Besides messing with you, I was trying to get some kind of idea the types of people who would at one time put me at Yahoo's top search result for "INTP Hitler."

Is it even racist to not want to interbreed? Is it just a matter of keeping your children like you? Should we all have the right to hate whatever race or creed with like openly? Anyone?

I also found it interesting for anyone to accuse me of ageism, but not cry racism (not you Utopmk).

Are you an INTP, Melody? Oh well, it doesn't matter. I was prodding you for a fun and fruitful debate on Drop's position, but you are not equipped to play with me.

In what way are you NOT being pre-judgemental, prejudiced? How do you determine who is "equipped" to "play" with you?
( What is the difference between "thug niggers","thug asians", and "presumed ignorants"?)

In other words, is an "S" function inferior to your presumably "N" function?

I am a little fuzzy right now, but will reply to you anyway. I'll break it up so it can be easier on the eyes.

Everyone is entitled to their beliefs and mine are quite flexible, depending on new information to evolve. I am quite flexible until a core value of mine is treaded upon, but those are few. I love information and ideas, so the more the merrier.

Now, as far as being prejudice, I do not think I prejudged anyone or anything unless a core belief was attacked, then I may have been unwavering. Once new information arises, that belief could shift as well.

There are plenty of people who are on here, who are unwavering in their beliefs from God to racism, but perhaps those topics are a part of their core values. A lot of what is said online is no doubt puffery, so I cannot say for certain and conclude that so many supposed INTP's are close-minded, contrary to the typology. I am cocky, so are a lot of people on here. If I seem prejudice at times, I will likely quickly change my mind unless I hold the issue close to "heart." A racist can stand up with pride, but I find it interesting you do not question their prejudice on an entire race they have not met.

As for being "equipped," I am using a little hunch and a little reservation about "playing" with someone. Playing is what we are doing. This is not the real world and we are playing. Debate is fun, but when I see a great deal of illogic in an argument, I do not want to pursue it with someone who may take it so personally. I do not take any of these posts personally and no one should either.

Now "thug" <insert epitaph here> and "intelligence"... what are you getting at (I never actually used the N-word)? That is extremely out of context, so I am unclear what similarities there are, much less the differences. When I mentioned "thug asians," I was trying to determine if whats-his-name, who declared himself boldly to be a racist, really was racist. He mentioned "thug <insert epitaph>" and said he hates them. I prodded for more: did he hate just thugs and was misguided his hatred onto a race? Did I ever truely pejudge him? No, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and am still interested in why he feels the way he does. Perhaps he was mugged, and is justified in his fears.

Now as for "intelligence" I am unsure what you mean, but a slow wit does irritate me and I am trying to be tolerant. I am having a slow day right now as a matter of fact (feeling ill). 56 mentioned some "scoffing" when I mentioned "intelligent" INTJs and I teased back with something like, "that goes for INTP's, too." If you are sensitive about intelligence, then I suggest you ignore me, as I may offend you.

Intolerance is a core value of mine and I am not intolerant of anyone here. A little puffery from me? Sure. Cocky? yep.

Are you prejudging me a wee bit? I am not really sure, but this seems a little personal.

*I asked Melody if he was an INTP, and he said he did no identify any longer. He's a good guy. Call it a hunch.

Relax.

Mingle with the primitives if you wish, but mingle long enough and you will be sorry you ever took their side.

No, I've never been mugged. :) It isn't fear, it's street wisdom. The difference between white, asian, and nigger thugs is about 60,000 years. I have faith that the whites and asians can be converted.

Street wisdom, sure. :nerd:

You are right... I should not mingle with primitives.

I'm attracted to certain types of Caucasian girls the same way I'm attracted to certain types of Japanese girls or girls of any other culture. All that matters is that we find each other attractive, really.

Thought I might have wandered into the Women's section again :shock:, so I checked the forum name. =P For a second there I was thinking, "why is this in Rants and Raves?"... but I guess some people find this controversial. :huh:

[MacGuffin]

I was just listening to Public Enemy's Fear of a Black Planet this morning while running.

Man you ain't gotta
Worry 'bout a thing
'Bout your daughter
Nope she's not my type
(But supposin' she said she loved me)
Are you afraid of the mix of Black and White
We're livin' in a land where
The law say the mixing of race
Makes the blood impure
She's a woman I'm a man
But by the look on your face
I see ya can't stand it

Man calm your ass down, don't get mad
I don't want your sistah
(But supposin' she said she loved me)
Would you still love her
Or would you dismiss her
What is pure? Who is pure?
Is it European state of being, I'm not sure
If the whole world was to come
Thru peace and love
Then what would we made of?

Excuse us for the news
You might not be amused
But did you know White comes from Black
No need to be confused

Excuse us for the news
I question those accused
Why is this fear of Black from White
Influence who you choose?

Yo yo! You're using Public Enemy lyrics to counter my use of the "N-word"??

No - I was using them in the context of this entire thread: race mixing.

You're right, I shouldn't be burning crosses out in the open, I should burn them at night, when no one is looking.

I wouldn't refuse to get involved with someone simply because they were a different race than me. But often different race can mean vastly different viewpoints. For example, a lot of Hispanic families have a more conservative outlook on traditional men's and women's roles, compared to the outlook of white Americans. I wouldn't want to marry a guy who expected me to stay at home and cook and clean and watch the kids all the time.

But then... they stick out more. Hmm.

[Utopmk]

Yeah, I shouldn't be screwing around on here like that.

I understand what you are saying and respect your opinion, but just a few points you may want to remember:

Hispanics are not a different race.

Remember, Hispanic people come in a wide variety of colours, nationalities, religions, and socio-economic backgrounds. Regional cultures within the US also have different cultures, which can make it difficult for two people to be in a relationship. For example, a Texan and midwesterner can come from very different cultural view points.

The lower classes tend to be less progressive in all "races," plenty of middle class white men want their women to stay barefoot and pregnant.

There is nothing wrong with cleaning, staying at home with young children, and cooking, if it is a choice and not a command.

Finding someone who loves and respects you, regardless of race or culture, should be the main critieria.

I thought this thread was going to be more interesting. Then I found out it was about interracial dating.

[moni]

ummm well, i got to this thread by clicking on the random thread link made by file cabinet...

i've had crushes on caucasians and hapas (half asian, half caucasian... or 50/50 of any kind, i guess). i really don't care what ethnicity my significant other should be.

sackanaka's the only guy i've ever dated and we're both asian... i'll admit, it is nice to be able to understand each other's culture, but it shouldn't be the reason to stick with one's "own kind".

[Hustler]

I'm doing my part to end racism by dating exclusively outside my own race. That, and I just don't find the girls in my own race attractive.

[Chihbu]

i'm chinese/korean and grew up in the south. i never had any korean or chinese friends all of them were white. i grew up uncomfortable around other koreans or chinese. i didn't kno how to react to them. anyways at that time i never imagined dating an asian girl.

my first g/f was half white half Ecuadorian. eventually i broke up with her and it wasn't until i graduated from high school that i became REALLY interested in understanding my roots. so i came to korea where i met a korean/japanese girl and we dated for a few months, and then i broke up with her.

it doesn't really matter to me but i think i'd feel more comfortable dating an asian girl who spoke korean and english. despite the fact i don't even really speak korean myself hA hA.

[cloakable]

Never dated :)

[cjs55]

On a large scale I don't believe it should be done as it would destroy human diversity.

On a small scale there isn't really a problem with it.

I find some asian women quite attractive myself, although I sincerly doubt I would ever actually marry one (If I ever get married in the first place, anyways).

[kikthinking]

i've never dated an asian girl

[Anacaona]

I have never dated either but I wouldn't mind dating outside my own race... Im quite appaled at some of the comments in this thread:blink: Im glad some of the members who did these comments dont seem to post anymore...

[Geek Engineer]

Me I haven't dated much (if in general) outside my race and I don't think it wouldn't really matter to me personally if they were. Thougth I will admitt I might be more difficult for me to get use to a person outside my race, and I suppose I might come across as being racist at first.

[SgtWalrus]

been there. done it. loved it. will do it again if I can help it. find girls of other races sexy and exotic.

[Eileen]

It's certainly easier to date someone who is from my culture... I haven't dated "outside of my race" (a mostly meaningless construct--someone who looks different from me but who has the same experiences would be easier to date than someone who looks like me but who has drastically different cultural experiences than me). I'm not averse to dating outside my culture, but I recognize the complications that are there (not least of which, I am sure that my parents would be very uncomfortable with it and every so often I'd have to hear about it and be annoyed).

[Jooka]

My father is half Arab, half Native American, and from Puerto Rico, my mother is a Bronx-born Russian Jew, my first boyfriend was Sri Lankan, my second was three quarters white (his mom was half white, half black Jamaican, and his father was German-Irish-British-whatever other nationalities in Europe). I have such a hard time socializing in general that the issue of culture is nearly moot.
