"I'm not saying like everyone, but do you sometimes feel some physical/emotional/s*xual attraction to people outside your race? What is it about that person ?".
Yes I talk about race but I'm not judging/implying anything negative towards anyone ba

To me there is only one race, the human race, but we all come from different ethnic backgrounds. I don't believe ethnicity and race are actually the same thing. The thing is, it's not your fault, because it's part of the world we live in and is the norm, but separating things or calling attention to things as a racial aspect and/or skin pigment, is racist. It is the social norm among all ethnic groups though, so many don't see it as that way.

If ignorance is bliss, there are some really, really happy people in this thread.
Our differences may define us, but defining those diffences and accentuating them, especially those that are based on race is inherently racist. People are people. Asking a question about dating outside of your race IS inherently racist. It may be a valid question, and people may be a bit too sensitive, but it is what it is. Like (2)

Thank you Goliath! I just wanted to point that out, so maybe he'd think about that... Perhaps I was a little bullish in doing it. But THAT was my intent.

Doesn't sound racist as in hateful but it implies there's some sort of difference between one race and another.

There are differences between races, why do people say that race isn't a factor when it is, Race affects everyones lives and that still doesn't explain how it implies anything negative towards a race ?

I get what you are saying ontremuzik. I didn't take that as racist...just a question. But I can see where others might see it a different way. You gotta be careful on here...or anywhere when asking race questions. Even if your intentions were harmlessLike (1)

Use different words, like ethnicity and maybe change the sentence a bit. Like, 'have you ever been drawn to someone of a different ethnicity? What was the attraction?' Of course, someone else might find that offensive. You shouldn't get bent out of shape by one opinion.

hahahaha how is that racist? some people think ANYTHING is racist, even mentioning the word "Asian" "African", etc, is racist. OMG! When will people learn that racism is if you are suggesting that a race is inferior to another, being discriminative or prejudice, not simply addressing the reality that there are different ethnic groups in the world. hahahaha priceless.

It's the implication that it's odd to be attracted to someone's personal qualities if that individual is not of the same racial or ethnic background as yourself. There IS a certain racial prejudice implied in the question. Someone free from racial bias (admittedly few of us) would not ask such a question, it wouldn't occur to them that one wouldn't be attracted to someone they "clicked" with. Regardless of race.

Because it (appears to) assume there's something wrong (or at least unusual) with being attracted to a different race, which brings to mind segregation.Like (1)

There are some intellectual midgets who claim racist at the drop of a hat. It's their way of trying to silence a different opinion. Your comment is not racist, but there is an implication in it that you think it is odd to be attracted to someone of another race. That in itself, in my opinion is not racist, but it does open you up to some who will jump to that conclusion.
