[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Science doesn't define "race" though, OP. Society does. Race is socially constructed and I think that your perceptions of  women of color are driven by socially constructed stereotypes that you do not find appealing. Maybe you've got personal issues in your past related to a particular woman of color that in turn are fueling your lack of attraction. Maybe you are responding to the abundant messaging that the beauty ideal in this country of a light skinned woman.

This is a completely separate issue from your justification of potential infidelity based on race, though. That just makes you kind of a creep.[/quote]

You are almost spot on. Race is often a social construction today and is an outdated mid-century concept. So that is why I prefer to identify on the basis of ethnicity. I can hardly see how you ascribe socially constructed stereotypes as the basis for my natural feeling, when the original post clearly stated that I have had intimate and romantic relationships with Black women? The fact that women of other ethnic backgrounds give our connection that extra factor, does not mean that I do not have a romantic connection with women of similar ethnicity.

Are you passively trying to say something else about prejudices in our society, but using my post as a weak pretext?
