My advice: If you want to learn things about Human beings then study what they actually do, don't ask for opinions, especially on something as politicised and emotive as race,

But yes, of course it matters, I like Latinas the most - although I'd prefer White women if they weren't so fat and unsophisticated - and there are races that I'm only novelly attracted to, as well as races that I'm not even attracted to at all. And finally we have cultural difference to throw in on top of this.

For me, I'd have to say no it's not important. The only factor is if there were religious beliefs involved. I wouldn't want to be with someone who had strict religious beliefs and thought I should also follow them.

Yep, cultural differences are more important than race in itself, in my opinion.

And about attraction, would be a lie to say all races have the same appeal in the eyes of the rest.

no,is not the race.

let's say a Chinese was adopted by American family from birth and raised in the states...it is more likely he/she will settle down with the American (he/she will have same American style)...

is the same with Irish/American descendants...they have American way.

cultural difference is an issue but not race.

If one realizes that we all primarily come from the same roots then it is apparent that race will have nothing to do with primal factors such as attraction.

But, if one is interested in finding a partner with certain qualities then it may very well matter (assumed cultural or economic differences/attributes). It's about the mental paradigm - what does your paradigm tell you?

The biological aspect of race is described today not in observable physical features but rather in such genetic characteristics as blood groups and metabolic processes, and the groupings indicated by these factors seldom coincide very neatly with those put forward by earlier physical anthropologists.

And I presume you are a black man in a white suit. Who knows.

What matters to some can be not as important a concern to others. For me, race is not an issue.

The look of face and body is strong connected to the race.
And the look plays a role in selection of the partner.
Also feelings are transportet via the body language - so the "body" plays a role, also voice and "guests" are related to the body ..
It doesn´t mean that some race is better or not.
It would be bad and booring if we would all be the same, like clones :-)

He is quite young, perhaps inexperienced in the art of "being" with others, maybe he has lived a "cloistered" life with only text books?

We should give him a chance because - he is just a kid.

I, for a short time, did the "throw away people" thing... but... life is too short and few of us will be here in the future, so I just let it flow now, though, I would like to see more arrests of those who choose to destroy our only planet. They can go away.

Thank you, Ccincy, I was thinking of my interactions with him, seems to think hippies did no good in the world, yet could not tell me of any direct experience he has had with them... I'm open minded though, willing to give all kids a chance. Better if they come with no opinions, though. Too young to know life that well.
