My friend seems to think that white women who date outside their race only do so to satisfy their curiosity about a certain ethnic group before they get married and raise a family with a white guy.
Of course I thought she was full of shit, but she did bring up a good point. I've known quite a few chicks who dated exclusively outside their race and just naturally assumed they would marry outside of it as well, but to my surprise, they got married to someone within their own race.
Is interracial dating just a "phase" people go through before getting serious with their lives, sort of like smoking pot or going to keggers? Is it some kind of right of passage or self discovery crap, similar to having your first (legal) beer or traveling abroad? Is it some kind of rebellious statement to society in general like the hippies did in the sixties? Interestingly enough, what happened to those hippies? They grew up, cut their hair, got nice coorporate jobs and essentially became what they were rebelling against. Can the same be said about interracial dating?
I wonder when these people get older and reflect back with their friends about all the dumb things they did when they were kids, I wonder if dating someone outside their race would be one of them.
This made me think. Then I got distracted by boobies.

Rite of passage?? LOL!! That's a new one!
ReplyDeleteInteresting parallel with the hippies/yuppies. I'm looking forward to hearing my friends' "crazy" stories of drug use, binge drinking and interracial affairs. =]

Your post reminds me of when my friend and her fiance (who are both white) were walking in the park and we saw some black guys playing basketball. Her fiance tells her to take a long look because she'll never have any of that "crap" again. Before getting engaged to him, she dated mostly black men. I thought the comment was incredibly tasteless and let him know it, but she acted embarrassed like she was ashamed of it or something. I never liked the guy or the company he keeps who are mostly racist assholes. I'm done now

Ya know, I've never really noticed it before. Maybe cuz of the town I grew up in. There just weren't that many choices. The ONE available, sexually active, black man that lived there was a player, and didn't want to settle down. Then he moved.
ReplyDeleteI will have to ponder this 'phase'...
I wanna to hear more about teh boobahs!

Your friend is a moron.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sick of dumb shits assuming that people who date outside their race have some sort of ulterior motive. God forbid that the person should actually like them for who they are and NOT their ethnic origins. I'm not saying that shit doesn't happen, but not everyone does it. Why are people so fucking stupid?? I'm finished, sorry to interrupt your thoughts of boobies.

Hey CR! I'm a normal average everyday white dude! We should meet! =)
ReplyDeleteI think the whole "controversy" over interracial affairs is pretty stupid too, but I'm sorry to say I've known dumbasses who do shit like this, particularly a friend of mine who loves dating asian women, but has stated numerous times that he would never marry one. Shithead
