		<description><![CDATA[white people in america who are racist period have to pay and be punished heavily for their sins through karma.  the very fact that they were given a second chance through a miracle by god that they don&#039;t have to face slavery that african americans and native americans did, means that they MUST be on their best behavior always.  no excuses, they have to feel ashamed of their bad and cruel, and weak history.  only then they can start to see things clearly. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s pure dating preferences.  I&#039;m an Asian guy and from what I&#039;ve experienced, Asian men who complain about not having a fair advantage in the dating world are men who simply DON&#039;T HAVE GAME 
 
Asian guys need to step it up and at least hang out with other asian guys who &quot;get it&quot; 
 
Where is a good place to start?

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m a 22 year old Indian guy and have an unpleasant experience to share. I recently signed up for a webcam chat service which was dominated by White European-looking people; a majority from the United States but also Sweden, Finland, UK, Turkey etc.  
 
8 out of 10 would disconnect as soon as they saw me on camera, without saying a word. A few would exchange some basic pleasantries like &quot;Hi&quot;, &quot;Hello&quot; etc. and later disconnect. It seemed as if almost noone was interested to chat me on account of my skin colour. I really felt hurt. 
 
I never thought Americans could be so racist - yes, a majority of White Americans do judge others based on skin colour. My personal Statistics can&#039;t be wrong!!!  
 
However, there were a few exceptions too. I met a few people who were quite interested in knowing me - they were from the UK, Holland, Ireland and Germany. I guess these countries are more used to dark-skinned people than some others.  
 
I&#039;m dark-skinned and quite proud of it. I also have very good facial features and most Indian (and also Pakistani) girls find me handsome (thankfully). 
 
I would never travel to America if this is how you treat dark-skinned people. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m an &quot;asian&quot; dude, ALL of my social interactions to do with dating, sex, and girlfriends have all been WHITE, some black, few other asians.My last girlfriend I met online, she came to me. I don&#039;t think all people are nailed down to it, I believe people are attracted to whatever it is about that PERSON comes first anyway. So if you&#039;re an asian creepy nerd showing low value which is very unattractive to the opposite sex won&#039;t do any better than any other guy of any other race who show the same qualities, I will guarantee you that, if even if you are asian, black white, GREEN whatever, if you show attractive qualities, people will fall for you anyway, Remember what people are looking for most first? 
 
PERSONALITY. folks, so if you come across creepy and happen to be asian or any other ethnic group thats discriminated upon, then just up your bloody game, sort your house out, trim yo pubes, shave your stash, and just be an attractive person. 
 
But...after all that... I do, however, even after ALL my attractive qualities I show, how much girls I dated who were WHITE, I still get the &quot;Sorry, I don&#039;t dig chiense guys&quot; rejection in clubs, then I see some WHITE guy do the SAME thing as me, then BOOM, hes in the sack with her faster than you throw a piece a shit at. 
 
Maybe its preference, but in my experience its all about personality, have no personality, you won&#039;t do well even with your own ethnicity anyway. 
 
Thats my 2 cents. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t agree, Winzer, that making personal choices about whom to date meets that definition of racism.  As Allison said, it&#039;s natural to prefer to date people who are similar to ourselves.  That does not inherently imply belief in the inferiority of others who look different.  It is entirely different for, say, an employer to discriminate *against* potential applicants than for a person to discriminate *amongst* potential suitors.  When it comes to love, there are no &quot;equal opportunity&quot; rules, because people are just not interchangeable.  We all discriminate in our dating lives.  We pick and choose the qualities that we deem most important to us and try to find the person who feels like the best match.  Obviously the initial attraction is largely based on looks.  Sometimes we are attracted to people who are markedly different from ourselves in skin color.  By and large, though, you&#039;ll notice purely by being a social observer, people pair up with significant others who look similar to themselves. According to the 2000 census, 4.9% of registered U.S. marriaged were interracial. There is absolutely nothing wrong with interracial relationships, just as there is nothing wrong with preferring one&#039;s own race (which does not make one a racist.  It&#039;s purely a matter of preference.  It just happens that most people choose their own. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dictionary.com definition of &quot;RACISM&quot; 
 
&quot;a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one&#039;s own race is superior and has the right to rule others.&quot; 
 
I know that not ALL people of race &quot;X&quot; are like this (throw in some stereotypes) but, in my opinion MOST people of race &quot;X&quot; are like this so it&#039;s a safer bet to just ignore ALL of them than take the effort and find out who they really are. I&#039;d prefer to date people of my own race because I find my own race superior in the &quot;looks department.&quot; That&#039;s racism RIGHT THERE! 
 
On the other hand, I could be from race &quot;X&quot; but only date people from race &quot;Y&quot; because I dislike my own race and think that the qualities (e.g. height, skin color, whatever) of race &quot;Y&quot; are superior...again, even if you&#039;re in an inter-racial relationship you can still be a racist. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Carly-Grinnell...you sound like a reasonably intelligent person but, consider this: 
 
Tall = not a race  
Short = not a race 
Fat = not a race 
Gold digger = not a race 
Player/Cheater = not a race 
Being exactly 6&#039;2&quot; tall = again, not a race 
 
Caucasian, Asian, Black, Indian = these are races! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, as an Asian guy in American, I would never do online dating.  At least in person, I can break the stereotypes.  Online, they look through a screen and try to imagine what I would be like, and they see William Hung and Long Duk Dong.  Yeah, it is too damn racist for me. ]]></description>
