personally, if me and someone "click", be it my friends, past/present or future lovers or past/present co-workers, i dont give a fuck what color they are.
i grew up in an area that was fairly prejudiced, and yet outwardly accepting to other races during childhood...wtf? i didnt experience segregation til i was on the cusp of puberty (10 for me) and the white/other parents of friends i played with, and stayed the nite at eachothers houses went from "awww!! what a great kid! so smart too!", to shit like "my parents dont want you over anymore". being young kids, we never knew the reason, 'cause my "other color" friends were still invited to my home, and were happy to come. when i was in 6th grade i finally understood why the parents did that shit.
seems like somewhere along the lines when kids no longer are kids, but on the verge of young adults, ignorant people begin to let stereotypes guide their lives, and the lives of their kids, even though they know a person being judged is good, and regardless of if it warps the childrens sense of reality. kinda fucked up to see someone you were sooo kewl with while growing up, then see them in middle/highschool and you dont even speak 'cause the folks made you not be cool anymore. me and a few elementary school friends talke the last time i went back home and the subject came up. one dude said, "man you always been cool, but later on i found out moms thought you were gonna steal from us, you grew up too fast!"
back to topic.....
i've dated outside of my race. no biggie. and i'll prolly do it again, as soon as asian/latina/indian women stop thinking imma rob them. or thinking i'm "TOO BOOKOO!"(full metal jacket)....drop the dumb ass fear factors and get to know folks man!! that's the only way you can expand your view of the world, and the people you share it with......i wanna rainbow coalition in my crib....babies from all ova the globe~ lol !
