Theoretically this may be the case but not provable.....I've known black women who are attracted to white dudes who've grown up in predominant black areas. If people want to talk about race and sensitivites I can talk all day about each and every ethnic group. So please tell me how you feel!

I find it interesting that various cultural or ethnic groups of men think of it as their women.
Surely, the women belong to themselves and can make their own choices of whom to date...

It might just be me or my culture but it seems more acceptable for a man to date outside his "race" than a woman. If a woman dates a outside of her race, she's either desperate or being manipulated. I'm sure it goes the other way around too but I hear this all the time whenever a woman dates outside her culture or race.

Why are you commenting on the manhood of other men who reject your womenfolk? Why be bitter? Why are you reacting like as though its you is being affected? Why you tripping dawg?
(Unusually) Many guys here say they like Indian women. I didnt care to comment on that. Im a heterosexual male, what does it matter to me?
I remember watching harry potter and the order of phoenix at a theatre, and when harry kissed the chinese girl cho, all the east asian guys blushed and giggled like as if they got kissed. I asked myself whats wrong with them.And on the otherhand there are east asian guys who are upset that every other race of men "steal" their women.
Your women folk? I was merely stating a fact and an opinion.
I could state a known fact that Black men are the (or one of the most) desired men in the world. Then again my military buddies may be telling me stories!
However the point is, is that we all have cultural preferences I just personally think that in a forum like this we need to be careful what we say. Because for T dawg as much as his "penis" may not desire black women I cannot tell you the countless black women who do not desire other non-black men. But I digress

Well in the African-American culture there is a sense of ownership. Not in the sense of slave to master but in the sense of relationship (familiarity). This is why we black men call each other "brotha" or "sista" instead of their/our name or description. I believe we are the only ethnic group in the U.S to do that.
In what way is it offensive?
Maybe it wouldn't seem offensive if the OP started threads asking "would you ever date a white/Asian/Indian/Latina", etc.? Why single out African/blacks? (your words)...
Perhaps. But I didn't see it as being an attack on black/ African people so I'm unsure as to why it would cause offence. If the question was "Would you date White/ British person" I wouldn't be offended at all. By the question at least.

Young white girl in rural America start off with the Black Boogieman with distaste. As time passes you get a whole slew of possible feelings, ranging from repulsion/racism to fetish/obsession.

How is asking about more than one group any less offensive than asking about one specific group?

And the ONLY thing that will show is that there are people who are prejudiced, people who are not prejudiced but stilled labeled as such, people who are prejudiced but not labeled as such, and people who are not prejudiced.
What it will NOT do, however, is explain how asking a question is offensive.

The question in itself maybe to non-blacks, is not offensive to them but since we want to do wordplay how about I start threads saying the following?
"Would you date a pink toe aka white girl?"
"Would you date a yellow girl?" AKA Asian
"Would you date a brown girl?" AKA Hispanic
Harmless as it may seem, at some point some member of the aforementioned questions will be offended. In my experience white people are very good at this- making comments or statements and asking why it is offensive. Ssainhu had the right idea perhaps if the question was worded different my approach would be different.
Race is still a sensitive topic even though its almost 2012
Besides the question is worded badly. For one, there aren,t many humans who are literally black. Two, Africans covers a wide spectrum of nationalities-for instance you have African-Cuban, African-Puerto Rican, African American etc So if you are targeting Blacks be more specific on the nationality qnd if you are talking about Africans which Africans are you referring to? (Turns Sarcasm Off)
Perhaps my sensitivities of these types of questions comes as the result of some form of cultural PTSD due to slavery and continued civil rights issues that my "people" and ancestors fought so hard for, for hundreds of years OR I am just one sensitive guy on the internet.

Exactly.
I like big girls, I guesss you'de call me a chubby chaser. In fact , I am turned off by really skinny women. Does that make me predjudiced.
We are talking about sexual attraction here (NOT A PERSONS CHOICE), but, I thought there was a racial quality to the question that might border oN innapropriate. Then again we've been conditioned to think that way these days, to the detriment of open communication IMO.
