Dating Site For White People Only

Why should I single out that site for judgement when there's sites like that for every group you can think of? My own ethnic group has a site like that: http://www.mulattodating.com/
One could argue that the need for one for Straight Caucasian Americans is extremely superfluous given how we're, you know, over-whelmingly the dominant group in the US. Sort of the same reason we don't have a "White History Month". That is indeed correct. But that's only because a more accurate term would be "White History every month but February".

Yeah, I thought of that after posting. The site I posted isn't restricted to mixed black/white people, either. It seems geared towards people who want to date us, regardless of their ethnicity.

I guess we're just naturally more open-minded than you mono-racial people. :p

Ah, maybe he means people with fair skin? I think terms like white and black for people are stupid and based on racist thoughts. What about light brown people like myself (erm... beige?!?!)? Sometimes lights make me look white! Not my hair tho, it's always black :p

I also burn fast. Fishing under the sun for a couple of days make me look like a map.

Beige is actually considered a skin color. I sell a higher end headset microphone. It comes in two colors. Black and Beige. No kidding.

Well, I don't suppose it's necessarily racist in the sense of bigotry (although it could be said to be racist in the sense of asserting the existence of race), and I have no real objections to it.

Although I do hope that people's preference for dating people of their own race is something that'll die out, as I see it as rather unhealthy. Not that one should have a preference to do the inverse, I would just prefer people have no out-and-out preference.

EDIT: Apparently the USA now categories White people as including all people of ancestries European, North African, Arabian, Iranian, Caucasian, Central Asian and North Asian. So a Yemeni, a Kazakh, a Pashtun and a Moroccan are white!

A lot of it has to do with getting familiar with the different racial features. My wife said that when Americans first started coming to Korea during the Korean war that they thought we were ugly and we had big noses. They even called us nosers.

Soon white will mean everyone except sub Saharan Africans. :D

I don't think a site catering to folks who only want to date white people is necessarily catering only to racists. I'm pretty sure that some people who might use the site prefer to date white people for reasons other than racism. For instance, they might have aesthetic preferences --- looks are a big part of most people's choice of who to date.

Having said that, though, I would personally be very reluctant to use the site (1) for fear that I'd run across a racist, and (2) because, if I were dating, I wouldn't want to limit my pool of potential dates to just white women when there are so many nice women of other races in this world that I might find myself compatible with.

I mean, it's possible that I might still someday after all these years of waiting finally meet an European, African, or Asian woman who really really does NOT mind my insistence on dressing up in a rooster costume with an over sized dildo, a thorny rosebush, and a bible whenever I have sex. It's possible! You can't claim it's not possible.

As the resident authority on people's race, I say that you're white too.
If you had a different mustache, & stood over a pizza, you'd easily pass for Italian.
I had a job making pizzas once.
I was in high school.
We were in a brand new & controversially expensive building.
I was....uh.....you're falling asleep.
Am I boring you?

“It’s our [the site's owner, Sam Russell] right to have this business,” he replied — the “we” presumably referring to white people, generally. “If we want equal rights in this country, it has to be equal rights for everybody.”

“It’s about equal opportunity,” Russell explained. “The last thing in the world I am is racist. I dated a black woman once. I helped raise a young black man … I just believe it’s hypocrisy to say ‘one group can do this, but another can’t.'”

Russell points to his site’s recent traffic as evidence that others agree: More than 100,000 people visited White People Meet on Sunday, and — as of this writing — 1,033 people have registered to browse the site for free. (Russell would not share how many had actually become paying members.) He insists that the reaction has been overwhelmingly positive thus far; it’s the people criticizing him, he says, who don’t truly understand the true nature of race and racism.

Interesting. Any thoughts, like racist perhaps?

I didn't think "racist" when I clicked on it, but I think it's rather funny. If I want to meet other white people to date, I could always just go to the corner hipster coffeehouse or to a hockey game. Plenty of white people everywhere.

I kid, I kid.
