As if there's not enough racial tension in a gay chat room...

Redheads make me weak in the knees. And other places.

**That’s not, unfortunately, the way human nature works

Humanity doesn’t need the Christian Satan. We do just fine all by ourselves, regardless of past experience. **

I know. that’s why i said: you’d think".

and “hopefully”.

I know it’s up to the individual. I’m just an optimist I suppose, when it comes to human nature.

Or a hope-ist.

and homebrew, missa redhead, and the bf likee much.

So as long as you do it, it’s okay and not racist.

Wow, over-simplify much?

Tell you what, sweetie, if it makes your little heart go all a-flutter to think of me as racist because I find the idea of having sex with non-white people to be intriguing, then you go right ahead and believe it.

Actually, quite a few Indians have green, red hair is a little rarer though. But in any case, I would find it absurd if someone said that they would only date people with green eyes and red hair. If their perfect guy game along but he had blue eyes, they would reject him? Doubtful. But let’s say this person did. I suppose we can say he’s prejudiced against non-green eyed people. In the case of someone who refuses to date Indians, that person is prejudiced against Indians.

I loooove black hair and green eyes, so send any black haired green eyed Indians my way. I agree that “I refuse to date Indians” is a racist attitude but I disagree that “I have a type and I refuse to date outside that type and Indians don’t fit my type, therefore I won’t date them” is necessarily racist. There is in my opinion a difference between “racist” and “prejudiced.” The former is racist. The latter is prejudiced but may not be racist.

The rest of you homos in this thread can just step off because I saw him first!

Actually, no. Perhaps bolding and italicization will help:

I can’t imagine what would possess anyone to do any of 3-6, but I’m unclear as to what’s so wrong about 1 and 2. I have types that I’m attracted to. One of the types that I am not particularly attracted to as a rule is black men. I don’t think it’s racist not to sleep with someone to whom I’m not attracted, even if it’s their ethnicity that leads to my not being attracted to them, any more than it’s sexist of me not to have sex with women because I’m not attracted to them. As for wanting to sleep with someone based solely on their race, well, I have to admit to wanting to do that too and again I don’t think it’s racist. What’s wrong with being curious about what it’s like to sleep with a person of a particular race?

I really hesitate to label the idea of wanting to sleep with someone because of their race as out-and-out racist because I have to confess to that my own self.

Regaurdless of whether your argument is valid otherwise, it’s clear that your justification of your actions as not being racist are based mostly on the fact that you do them.

I loooove black hair and green eyes,

So how you doin’?

What-fucking-ever.

Please fucking forgive me for trying to personalize the discussion a bit by using “I” and “me” instead of “one.” Is this better? “One” has types to whom “one” is attracted and “one’s” not sleeping with someone to whom “one” is not attracted does not in my opinion make “one” racist.

“One” having an interest in having sex with men of multiple races does not in my opinion make “one” racist.

And I feel no need to “justify” my attractions or lack of same to anyone. I gave up on feeling the need to offer “justification” a long long time ago.

Oh what, now you want to go there? Where were you a year ago? Oh wait, I think a year ago we were busy being pissed off at each other…

One of the very rare examples of the buffet frequently eating the patrons…

And dammit! Nobody ever fights over me!

Well, JayJay, have you ever given me a shot? I’m a big fan of bears.

[Priam]

Well jeeze, gobear, monopolize the entire free and queer population of SDMB, why don’tcha? When did you go all polyamorous on us?

[gobear]

To tell the truth, at this point I could really use some hugs and affection.

BIG HUGE MASSIVE HUGS AND SNUGGLES

Always more where that came from, hun. Just say the word. We’re here for y’all.

[gobear]

Thanks. It’s very, very much appreciated.

[Priam]

Wish I could do more for ya, sweetie. If you don’t have anyone else available, though, I’ve been told I’ve got pretty good shoulders to sob on.

Standing invitation, no waiting in line.

If you’re speaking of Send Me No Flowers, I actually played the Tony Randall part in my high school production. It was most amusing watching the teetotaller play the drunk the whole time.
