‘No Blacks’ Is Not a Sexual Preference. It's Racism.

50. I wondered how this article would be recieved here

I saw it yesterday. I really don't know if I have an opinion.

I think some of it are preferences, but they posters don't have enough class say so correctly, or, due to the impersonal nature of the internet impose a far greater (and sloppier) filter than they would in person.

On the other hand, I'm Jewish and a male heterosexual.

Swarthy white. I've always had a thing for the fair blue-eyed Nordic type females -- perhaps because when I was a kid in pre-WWII Europe they were off limits for many reasons. "Shiksappeal" to quote Seinfeld. They hurt me they are so pretty.

But, I married a lovely brown-eyed, dark-haired, slightly swarthy Jewish girl and she was the love of my life.

Never dated anyone that was not a lovely brown-eyed, dark-haired, slightly swarthy Jewish girl, and I probably would not, regardless of my preference, even if I wasn't long past the age where I wanted to.

Why? Because I always considered dating as a mutual interview process to marriage, and I would never marry anyone who wasn't Jewish --- both for religious reasons, and practical, in that marriage is hard, serious, business, and having that common bond makes things much easier and prevents disagreements.

My eldest son married a WASPy Nordic type (she eventually converted prior to having children), and for years she didn't feel like she fit in our rather rambunctious family, and it caused trouble in their marriage. Some religious issues, some cultural.

Of course, some 50 years later, she told me she thinks she's beginning to fit in, so perhaps people should cast their nets widely.
