Raphe, citing what one wrote out of context does not help your argument. I was speaking from the minority's perspective when I listed of that series of NO's, Furthermore, I think that I made it crystal clear in my follow up thread that NO one race has a monopoly on the ability to be racist. Nor do I believe that only whites can be racist. It is total BS in my opinion. And yes, some guys within other ethnic groups can be just as bad with their NO White Guys disclaimers in profiles. I have seen a few of those myself and thought to myself, what a douche!

RE: The Gay Community's Fear and Loathing of Asian Men Must End
Raphe, you really need to chill before you have a stroke! I never mentioned anything about my feelings. I simply stated that I could understand the perspective of the author. Moreover, understanding does not always mean agreement! And yes, all races can exhibit and promote racism. White people do not have a monopoly on that. I have never bought into the current notion that only white people can be racist. That is a bunch of BS in my opinion. Being multiracial, I get to see things from the inside out of several cultures. And yes, I can say that some in the Asian and African communities can be equally racist in their dealings with people of other ethnicities. Now regarding the statistics surrounding dating preferences amongst the races, it would be safe to say that most asians marry other asians, whites other whites, blacks other blacks, etc. There is no disputing that. People have a right to like what turns their crank sexually and mentally, and they usually cultivate that interest from their environment. My opinion has always been that everyone is entitled to their preferences so long as they are not based exclusively on racial stereotypes and community acquired prejudices. Like you and all other humans, I, too, have preferences. I am willing to look at potential partners from all races, but when I comes down to it, I do have attributes that turn my crank more so than others and there is NOTHING wrong with that.

RE: Race Preferences in Dating
I think that it is ok to have preferences so long as they are not root in racial bias. Everyone likes what they like, whether it be food, cars, color, or people. If certain attributes do not turn your crank, no amount of force from an external party is going to change that.

I do not fear the science behind this at all. I would consider doing something like this if the option were available today.

RE: Where to go tested ?
In the US, you can order ORaQuick from amazon and have the test discretely shipped to your home. You get the results in ~20 minutes.

RE: UN-CLEAN BOTTOMING
Ew.. Really. Good anal hygiene is a must. Accidents can happen sometime, but pure laziness and poor prep would be a MAJOR BONER KILLER for me. Next…

RE: Is it okay to say "Whites only" on tinder/grindr profile?
Whites Only is a sign one would in Jim Crow southern US back in the 1960's. It is OK to have a preference. Everyone likes what they like, but you can preface it in a way that does not come across being racist. At the very least, just say that you prefer white guys or guys with x y z characteristics. Saying things like no asians, no blacks, no Indians, etc just reeks of racism. I truly do not know how anyone could not find the statement "no rice" offensive.

RE: The Gay Community's Fear and Loathing of Asian Men Must End
I consider myself to be very fortunate. I can find sexy in all races of men. With that said, I still have a type or look that turns my crank more than others, and I usually define that in my online profiles. The one thing that clearly comes across as racist to all minorities or multi-racial chaps are the disclaimers that read: NO BLACKS, NO ASIANS, NO MEXICANS, NO INDIANS, NO NATIVES, etc. One can find a way to say what turns them on without coming across as a total racist douche. Being multi-racial, I can understand where author of the article is coming from. I have heard or seen self described non-racists, say or gesture some pretty racist stuff when the object of their racism was not present. Things like slanting eyes, speaking with a stereotypical Indian inflection, or ridiculing someone based upon a preconceived notion of their cock size (big/small) are some of the more benign things that I have witnessed.
