The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Actually you're both being morons. People have tastes, there's nothing wrong with that. I like brunettes. Big fucking deal.
there's a difference between "I like brunettes" and "Brunettes are too damn hot for their own good" or "Brunettes usually grow up pretty hot"
People don't usually just say "I like brunettes," especially if they're just talking casually with friends. It's almost always "yeah redheads are incredibly hot," or something to that effect. You're reading too much into it.

Basically yeah. I prefer pure black hair, but the girl I like is a natural blonde who just dyes her hair. It's all shallow thinking, but it's also kinda supposed to be.
can someone please take the "half asian girls are so hot" meme out back and shoot it in the head, thanks
edit: 50% Han Chinese, 50% Irish
a meme? how is it a meme.
Because it is a culturally transmitted piece of information.
I doubt most of the people repeating it know more than ten half asian girls personally; as someone who actually DOES, I can tell you with extreme confidence that they obey the same bell curve of attractiveness distribution as any other arbitrary grouping. It's stupid.
people do this with redheads too
race and hair color do not determine attractiveness
being not ugly does
Is it not fair to say that of a group of an attractive blonde, redhead, brunette, asian and black woman some people will be more attracted to one of these women than the others? I think that is the basis of "type X women are hot"
I suppose there are some people who think that way
I appreciate attractive ladies of every race and hair color combination
though it's pretty rad when they wear glasses
who knows why
okay well glasses being sexy is universal, we can all agree on that.
I have found myself attracted to women of all combinations racially as well.
But then when my wife was blonde she was just a friend, when she went reddy-brunette she was my girlfriend. I dunno if there's anything to that.

would saying "Black people are too damn poor for their own good" not be racist if you said it in casual conversation

yeah. My wife says she dyes it because she thinks there is a lot of gray in there. I keep telling her I don't even look at her face. Fuck the hair and makeup and just keep going to the gym and we'll be fine, dear.
TDOT, please describe to me what, precisely, it is blah blah blah...
why, yes, I will, because arguing with a random dude on the internet about a brief comment someone else made in passing sounds like a splendid way to spend my day

I think you inserting race into a conversation about hair color preferences is an indication of something. Yes, the conversation started with talking about half-asians, but you'll notice how in this entire quote tree no one mentions a race at all except you.

The tree is implicitly about race and if you didn't understand that, well, bummer. I'm sure if you go back and review some of the posts that lead up to it you'll be able to see what's going on.
is it racist if you make positive blanket statements about a race?
black people are all really good at basketball
...yeah, still racist
What if it's about their character?
Let me tell you something about the blacks; they are the kindest, most welcoming people you'll ever meet.
making any sort of blanket statement about any group of people is pretty ignorant, regardless of the intention
dunno if it's particularly racist when you put it that way but, still
I'm more curious about how the listener will interpret it. If people will see you as painting with a broad brush regardless of the content of the statement and be upset by it, or if it is only negative things that are offensive.
If nothing else it's a sort of interesting mental exercise. How can you be prejudiced in a good way?

I've heard the term "positive racism", it could apply here.

And then what is the net effect of positive racism?
Like if all we had were positive preconceived notions about all the races and religions, would the end effect of that be good, or is it human nature to see that a positive about one race implies a negative about all others?

My favorite type of girl is typically the one who will NOT have sex with me.
