Why is this often the case with blondes?

I am starting to think 'white' is more of an image than anything else in a lot of ways...at least in the United States.

I agree

That statement in itself is a racist generalization of white people.

Guess you haven't seen some of the things east Asian societies say about other races, or how they talk about black people. They most definitely do have a superiority complex. Korea and Japan are especially exclusive and dislike foreigners. Koreans pride themselves on being racially pure and homogenous. They don't even like those who are mixed with other east Asian ethnicities.

Humans in general are racist and exclusive. They are prone to forming groups and differentiating themselves between other humans and forming stereotypes. Get a group of the most similar humans together and isolate them long enough, and they will find even the most minute differences between themselves so that they can divide and form exclusive groups.

That's the way people are, because we are animals, and it's in our nature. White people aren't any more racist than any other group. It's just become ok to target white people as a bunch of evil racist devils, when they only did the same things that all the other groups of humans have been doing to each other since we first existed.

It's ridiculous. There was plenty of prejudice against my ancestors in this country in the early twentieth century when they came over. They even had signs saying that they paid black people more for work than Italians, because nobody wanted the Italians here. They felt like it was an invasion. They obviously hated the Italians more than the black people. And they didn't like it when the Irish came over either. It's nothing to do with being white. Irish are pretty freaking white. It's about excluding other groups. It's tribalism.

Humans are going to find the most similar humans to group up with and exclude the most dissimilar, and when there aren't any dissimilar people to fight with, they will find something to separate themselves, no matter how small.

And this ridiculous conclusion is from data from dating apps in the UK. So I guess all the Caucasian people in the world must live in the UK and use dating apps, and the only non Caucasian people live in the UK, and use dating apps.

Why don't you go find all the dating apps used by people in every country, and see if you still see this pattern? Because I'm sure the pattern is going to be that the racial/ethnic majority is going to usually want to date within the same group.

Familiarity is preferable for every species and without that, empathetic bonds are harder to develop.

Yes, tribalism does exist in every culture and it is the number of cause of segregation. Even if segregation is no longer public, groups and individuals can still ostracise each other.

No time for that, because you can check this: viewtopic.php?t=275336

What?

Blonds aren't stupid? (Crissy)

Brunettes aren't sensible? (Maryanne)

Redheads aren't sexpots waiting to inhale a soul? (Ginger)

Glass don't make you smarter? (Every Librarian, like, ever)

My observations on all of this:
1.) tribalism as mentioned before, yes.
2.) Seems that not all people here are taking a world view and only basing things off of their limited experiences.
3.) Some cultures are far more Xenophobic. But, there are growing numbers of people who are letting go of some of that and looking outward.
4.) Most negative impressions are summed up by expectations.

You bathe every day in some cultures but do not wear deodorant. You smell bad to a person who bathes everyday and wears deodorant. You're clean, just not perfumed.

You bathe every day and wear deodorant and you smell bad to the other person because it is not a natural smell and is offensive.

5.) Some people are just actually happy in their skin and just don't give a damn.

And, the OP is not clear.....

Natural Blonde?
Bottled Blonde?
Sun Bleach Blonde?
At what point is dirty blonde really mousy brown?
At what point is golden blonde really just light red hair?
Does the carpet have to match the drapes?
What about the natural blonde that has the unreal dark eyebrows?


And, how dark before you're no longer white?
How much mix before you're 'officially' not white? I'm 1/16 native American but so freakin' white you can see the blue in my skin.
Does this include the people of color that do not look like people of color?

And, what does this supposed statistic say about the reverse? Why all dem black men pickin' up all dem fine white, blonde wimmen?

Are the black men discriminatory towards darker skin?
Is there self loathing involved?

And finally, what difference does the color of hair or skin have to do with their heart and soul?

Who the f**k cares?

Hardly scientific. You used one app. Believe what you want to believe. I think it's a ridiculous thing to focus on. Lots of interracial/ethnic relationships in my area, and all the ones I know of include "white people." Haven't seen a single black/east Asian relationship, black/south Asian relationship, East Asian/middle-eastern relationship, East Asian/South Asian relationship, etc.

In fact, I haven't seen a single east Asian with anyone but a white or east Asian person. Wait, no, there was one east Asian girl with one black guy. One. Nor any south Asians with anyone but another south Asian or a white person.

The most common are "white"/"black" and "white"/east Asian. So if I want to base my viewpoint of the entire world population only on my personal observations in my city, it would be that "whites" are more likely to date other races than anyone else. Which is also not scientific.

I live in NYC. Seeing interracial relationships is the norm.

At least 1 in 10 couples I observe are interracial couples.

I'm married to a black woman. I dated black and Hispanic women previously. I dated a part Native-American once. I've wanted to date east and west Asian women before, but I didn't achieve success there.

There's this woman I work with who is Middle Eastern, and wears a headpiece. She's really beautiful, to be honest. If I wasn't married, I would have the desire to date her, too.
