Study: How Can We Get White People to Stop Dating White People??

I don’t know why people need to have influence over the choices someone makes when it doesn’t effect them or hurt them. Let people date whoever they want to date.

Exactly. The idea of needing affirmative action in dating is just too nutty.
 
Vox said:
LOL!

Most people know enough to date people similar to themselves.

Those who don't end up with huge problems.

Stupid is as stupid does.......and ends stupid......possibly with stupid children.

I think it's generally true that couples from similar backgrounds tend to fair better in relationships. Lust is another thing altogether, but relationships built mainly around lust don't last very long. At least not the good ones.
 
White women don’t cook or clean any more. I don’t get why white men would date white women either.

You don't know the right kind of women mate.

Come to the Beautiful South - women here know how to look after their men.

That's generally a traditional conservative idea you just endorsed. You may just be one of us.

Not entirely, the idea was studying what the impacts are for these online dating sites in terms of how we tend to date anyway.

The actual study already suggests we tend to date with our own prejudices, not matter how mild or extreme those may be. The study also suggests that the increasing use of these online dating sites has not necessarily made those sociological conclusions better or worse.

The study introduces the difference between passive ideological selection of a partner against the idea of sexual prejudices, and is also cautious in saying all of those who pick a partner within their race are not inherently being prejudicial.

Further the study itself in introduction and conclusion stresses the idea that "expanding people’s sexual horizons does not mean overriding some "true" or innate preferences; it means intervening in the unavoidable and ongoing processes by which our preferences emerge in our interactions with our social and cultural environment."

What it comes down to is looking at when prejudices are in the front of our decision making process and what we might be able to do about it.

The study goes so far as to say they are not interested in applying online discrimination protections (as applied to uber or lift) seen applied to online dating sites, including warning against the idea of what you suggest they want. At no time are they saying prevention of white people choosing each other.

What they do say is increase inclusion, not via exclusion of results that most of these online sites use to determine potential matches.

Sociology as a study suggests looking at the pitfalls of discrimination, that is seemingly all they did when thinking about online dating sites.

We might be overreacting here.

Included is the write up on the study the article is based on:

WTF is wrong with you? Our own prejudices? Really? So dating within in your own race is prejudice or rather racist?

Spare me the bull**** on "WTF is wrong" with me.

The OP claims the idea was to get white people to stop dating white people, and that was not the case. You then decide to ignore the rest of the post.

The point was a reference to the study results, not my opinion.

The bottom line is the study was looking for means to include when matching between profiles, at no time was the study suggesting exclusion as a means to prevent.

Meaning when someone white utilizes one of these online dating websites / applications then include other races where the profile matches (i.e. wants) includes them as well. The idea was to evaluate our own prejudices "no matter how mild or extreme those may be." That does not mean that anyone white dating someone else white is automatically a sign of prejudice or racism, but it does mean seeing if there is room to expand who someone might date when introduced to the idea of a personality match with someone of another race.

Again, I think we are overreacting to the study and your post tends to prove my case.

I wasn't evaluating the study, I was evaluating your wording.

Which matches the study.

Again, you are ignoring the intention of the stud,y my post about it, and purposefully suspending discussion on what the intentions here really are.

If I have to spell it out for you I'll do so again, someone white dating someone else white is not necessarily a showing of prejudice or racism. However, what the study suggests is we intentionally or otherwise tend to date within our race when considering a personality match so the idea is to expand on that and see if there is room for any race to see profiles from other races when looking at those matches. Again, inclusion not prevention. No one is suggesting figuring out a way to make it where white people stop dating white people.

The OP was wrong, a horrible overreaction and you nitpicking wording ignores what I was really trying to say which only echos the study. I never intended to claim that someone white dating someone else white is inherently prejudicial or a showing of racism.

Say what?

Put white folks where there are few or no white folks and they will date a non-white person.

Why would one be politically (yes this has to do with politics) motivated to get white people to date outside their race more? How does white people dating only white people impact one's life in any way?

HonestJoe said:
Maybe interracial couples are constantly discriminated against and told they're destined to fail by people like you and that negative environment is the cause of the difference?
Click to expand...

You need to prove that that such kind of discrimination exists. From my own personal experience, inter-racial relationships and the people involved in them are not "oppressed" by the "evil mainstream". If anything, people are afraid to comment on such kinds of relationships for fear of being branded as racists.
For example, I'm white British so I'd likely have more in common with a black British person than I would with a white American.

Culturally, maybe. But genetically? No.

I think its sad that there are white people like you. People who show no racial solidarity.

HonestJoe said:
I’m not saying it isn’t noteworthy, I’m saying it isn’t a reasonable justification to dismiss the possibility of any kind of successful relationship with anyone of a different skin colour and it is that attitude this study is about.
Click to expand...

So what that white people want to dismiss having an inter-racial relationship altogether? Why does that study feel so passionate about making white people date inter-racially? And no, please dont say that it is in an dating site's interest to bring suitable partners to white users. That's just lofty-sounding rhetoric to hide the fact that these people are social engineers. They don't like it when white people date other white people.

Are you a white guy yourself? If yes, why did you crow about how your own people allegedly have small penises? This is a form of racial masochism.

This is a case of self thought-policing. You feel that people ought to monitor their own mental processes and try to purge the "incorrect" thoughts. They did this in the communist Russia and China many decades ago.

It was a joke, my misguided friend.

Humor - a concept obviously foreign to the fascist, bigoted, religious right.

Leftist hedonists have strange fixations on male sexual organs for some weird reason. The Bible speaks of male sex organs in Ezekiel 23:20:

For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

I can take a joke just like I can take an advantage to turn a joke into a learning moment for people involved in politics.

Your "joke" was in very bad taste, much like the rest of your posts.

You find nothing wrong with making innuendos about people's genitalia. I hear you, loud and clear.
