So, if you're attracted to somebody who looks differently than you, they might call you by a lot of names, but racist wouldn't be the correct adjetive applied to you! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) There's another thread where Oliver Stone was called racist for casting a black actress to play a caucasoid. I think double speak is the correct term.

There's another thread where Oliver Stone was called racist for casting a black actress to play a caucasoid. I think double speak is the correct term. Yeah! I think I remember having read something about it. Was it the movie "Alexander"? It is my assumption that when casting the actors for any movie a lot of considerations come into play and then producers and directors make use of their "artistic license", which could be the case that you mention. Anyway, watching a movie by necessity requires that we suspend our incredulity and “make believe” that the blood in the screen is real, that dragons do exist, etc. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) How is that different when an actor or actress has a darker or lighter skin than what some purist think that it should’ve been? That’s prejudice taken to the extreme.

well apparently where they grew up, your status depended on how "white" you were, literally. So the lighter your skin was the more important you were. They equated being white with being beautiful. I guess this is no different than some Filipinos I've befriended recently. The mother dyes her hair this really unattractive orange (though she calls it blonde color). I was shocked when I met her six year old because her hair is bleached the same ugly shade of burnt orange. She says her husband does it for them so they appear classier, more wealthy. I guess she doesn't realize how trashy it is to dye a six year old's beautiful natural hair. These people will do anything to be whiter. She is always complimenting my babies on their white skin. Her self racism makes me sick. Now I've started looking at many of the Asians, Indians and Hispanic people's hair. I would say almost the majority have this ugly bleachy hair.

Well, everyone has their own taste. A racist is someone who hates another tribe, or considers his kind to be superior.

I've been with women of different races and have never had problem with it but I think when I eventually settle down I would most likely marry a caucasian. The main reason amongst others is that I would like my children to be totally caucasian like me, if it isn't racist then I would have no problem marrying another race and what my children looked like would be of no concern. Whether this is a feeling of superiority over different races or just plain vanity is a question I currently can't answer.

I'm mostly attracted to fair and dark Caucasians and some good-looking part-black men. Asians don't do it for me. There are some who are smashing, but they are very very few. Asian women look good though, but that doesn't help me since I'm not bisexual or homosexual. ;D
I wouldn't call it racism to be attracted to a certain race. Racism is to not want anyone to breed with other races. To be attracted to a certain race is just another sexual preference. Some like tall men, some like thin, some like muscular. Some guys prefer big boobies, others don't etc.

good-looking part-black men. You're not down with the full blooded negroes? Why not? Doesn't their abnormally high level of testosterone and abnormally low levels of intelligence do it for you? That's not racism, it's common sense. Who the hell would want to breed down evolutionarily?

Sure. Black women don't look human to me.

I'm not 'down with them' because most of them don't look that good. At least not from the neck and up. Mulattos, quadroons and such on the other hand are very beautiful and beat every Asian man I've seen so far. I really have only one sexual preference - height. I prefer my men to be 185 cm at least. That's not racism, it's common sense. Who the hell would want to breed down evolutionarily? I assume that's what your white parent did when he/she mated with your Asian parent. ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) You're the product of what you dislike the most. You justify your racist opinions by believing that a mix between two intelligent races must be something good when most white (and Asian) preservationists just see you as another genetic mistake.

When black women are pretty they are VERY beautiful. So true. I'd say the same thing about Asian women. Most of the time I can't differ between Asian women and Asian men. They look exactly the same in the face and their bodies have no shape or form whatsoever. But when they are beautiful, they are stunning! I like a lot of East African (Somali, Ethiopian, Eritrean) women. They can be quite gorgeous.

I think the Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi (she stars in the movies "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero") is very pretty, but she doesn't even begin to compare with the dark beauty you posted (the first picture). ![](http://www.asiepassion.com/cinema/actrices/zhangziyi/galerie/ziyi7.jpg) The typical far-east Asian traits are not so apparent in her face which might be a reason why she's considered to be so beautiful. Although on this picture you can clearly see she's Mongoloid. ![](http://www.asiepassion.com/cinema/actrices/zhangziyi/galerie/ziyi4.jpg) There are plenty of Asians so of course there are attractive Asian males and females.

I have found that the most unattractive peoples are the aboriginals of the Americas, the Africans (excepting some East Africans and tall slim ones), and generally peoples of Mongoloid descent. I think Japan and Korea produce a solid number of attractive people because their features are sharper (Japanese - sharpest), unlike the Chinese, etc. Negroid-Amerindian mixes are among the most unattractive as are some Irano-Turko-Mongoloid mixes of Central Asia.
There are beautiful people all over the globe, but I have not found one Amerindian that is attractive at all. For the other peoples I've discussed I'm making generalizations. Plus, the only attractive Africans I've seen are eithe mulattos (doesn't count) or East Africans, or those slim and tall ones found around Central Africa.

But despite having a billion+ population, I've never seen beautiful asians even models or celebrities. The actresses from HongKong look very stupid and childlike which is a turn off.
