I've asked five of my friends this, and only one of them said yes. I know I would since what really matters is how you connect.

EDIT: When I say race, I mean another human being with a different ethnicity. A girl who's Asian is an example for me because I'm white.

If I wasn't already married, I wouldn't have any problem dating someone of a different race.

Humans are ONE race, there are different skin colours tho, but that does not make us different races. No, I'd never want an inter-racial relationship, I'm not into zoophilia.

Of course I would. Most of the girls I've liked are white, though. I don't know if that's a coincidence.

Yes of course. In fact I would be interested to meet a person of a different race in that way. I think it would be really interesting to see a different idiosyncrasy (if there is a different one due to different race).

Really, only one of five said yes? I doubt they'd keep that viewpoint if a hot girl outside of their ethnicity came onto them. Anyway, definitely yes for me. My gf (in sig) is half Thai, does that count? :P

It's called the HUMAN RACE, not THE HUMAN SPECIES. Amirite? So, no, I'm technically not mixing up anything. See, if TC had written "Someone with a different skin colour/religion/culture than yourself", I wouldn't have written my original post like that.

Ask the same question at a website that have mainly female posters and be surprised at how different the results will be. the same shallowness that make men to be more visual also has the effect of compelling men to mate with any beautiful women regardless of race

If I met someone that shared the interests and had the morals that I was looking for, then yes I would. The problem is, most of the time, you find people like that within your own race.

[url=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/race?jss=0] race -noun 1. a group of persons related by common descent or heredity. 2. a population so related. 3. Anthropology. a. any of the traditional divisions of humankind, the commonest being the Caucasian, Mongoloid, and Negro, characterized by supposedly distinctive and universal physical characteristics: no longer in technical use. b. an arbitrary classification of modern humans, sometimes, esp. formerly, based on any or a combination of various physical characteristics, as skin color, facial form, or eye shape, and now frequently based on such genetic markers as blood groups. c. a human population partially isolated reproductively from other populations, whose members share a greater degree of physical and genetic similarity with one another than with other humans. 4. a group of tribes or peoples forming an ethnic stock: the Slavic race. 5. any people united by common history, language, cultural traits, etc.: the Dutch race. 6. the human race or family; humankind: Nuclear weapons pose a threat to the race. 7. Zoology. a variety; subspecies. 8. a natural kind of living creature: the race of fishes. 9. any group, class, or kind, esp. of persons: Journalists are an interesting race. 10. the characteristic taste or flavor of wine.[/url] The only definition close to what you're claiming is "7. Zoology. a variety; subspecies.". Human race works under the subspecies definition, but it should have been obvious he wasn't refering to neanderthals and was instead refering to "1. a group of persons related by common descent or heredity.". And yes, humans are a species.

It's quite ignorant and outdated to use a word like "race" about people. Over here that word is only applied to for example different breeds of dogs, not human beings.

Exactly my point. My only problem is the language barrier, but I guess that isn't an excuse :roll: But, to answer TC's question, without mocking how he worded it, Yes, I would date someone of another religion, culture, skin colour or whatever, if they were attractive to me.

I dated a black girl in high school (I'm white). All my friends and family were cool with it but hers wasn't. Her brother and his friends really didn't like it.

Exactly. I suppose that's the biggest reason why I feel strongly against it. If you referred to a certain ethnicity as a "race" over here you'd get some "WTF he Nazi? >_>"- looks. Which in itself can be quite ridiculous, but I guess that's another topic too. ^^
