[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's natural to be drawn to your own race, but I also find that people who were raised as the 'only' or one of a few of a certain race in their area tend to go with whoever the majority race is.[/quote]
This seems especially true of AA males who were raised by white adoptive parents or biracial males raised by white moms. Of my white female friends and coworkers married to AA or biracial men, all married a woman who looked like the woman who raised them. I guess they are Mama's boys at heart. A few years ago, I dated a mixed black guy who had never before dated within his race. He was raised by a white Evangelical couple who had 5 adopted AA or biracial boys. Every older son married a white woman. The son that I dated was absolutely clueless about natural hair. He was both uncomfortable with it and fascinated by it. What happens when it gets wet? Why is the length and texture different when its wet vs dry? Why don't I shampoo every morning? After a few weeks of dating, he decided he couldn't get past the springy wildness that is my crowning glory (he asked me to relax it. Um, no!) and we broke up. I saw him three weeks later with a white woman with the same blonde pixie cut as his mom's FB photos. He loves what he knows.[/quote]

I think this speaks to how some non-minority women do a piss poor job at raising biracial children. Some white Moms don't place enough emphasis on educating their children about their minority-side. It makes it even worse if they grow up in an environment where there is not a lot of diversity.  It's sad really.[/quote]

Wait, are you saying a white mother has failed if her black son marries a white woman? Is she a half failure if he marries a mixed girl? What about an Asian or Hispanic daughter-in-law?[/quote]

No, that's not what I'm saying but if you bothered to read the pp, you'd see that that black boy had NO CLUE about AA people (confusion over hair, texture, etc). The absence of knowledge is what is sad. [/quote]
