[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4:58 - I think a lot of people use the race/culture/ethnicity commonality as a screening device to ensure they might have other experiences in common, maybe?  Sometimes having a type can make it easier to narrow down the pool of prospects, maybe?

Which in my circle would mean missing out on the black dudes who are no different, culturally, than the white guys in my circle - similar upbringing, education, career, hobbies, friends.  Or missing out on getting to know the cool middle eastern guy down the hall who is very similar to me, personality-wise.   [/quote]

Could be, but I differ on this when it comes to OKC and my experience. Every single one of these sites gives us filters to determine our matches. So everyone can pretty much filter by race/ethnicity, whatever. The thing with OKC though is that it also asks if you would prefer to 'go out' with someone of your own 'race or skin color.' The fact that a person would answer YES to this question-meaning that they would NEVER want to be seen out with someone of another skin color-pretty much tells you that skin color is still an issue for most in America. Btw, so you know, my matches are mostly from America even though I have connected with people from both England and across Europe.

This is part of the reason I might make it my 2015 NY resolution get off there and look for my next LTR from my own social circle.
