How to make this question PC, but here goes...
 

One thing I have never done, is to be involved with a partner of another race.

(Oh no, he's a bigot, a discriminator, a qualifier, a miscegenational racist, a human!)

I don't believe all the stuff about racial superiority or inferiority, nor that any one color or nationality is any more prudish or perverted than any other, but...

...and no I don't mean marrying someone and parading them around as a form of protest, nor in settling some old score from the 1800's, but as two people with a desire to explore and be loved.

Comments, experiances, fears, desires?

It's all a matter of preference. If you prefer having sex with members of your own race, that's fine. It isn't "close-minded", it's just what you prefer.

I haven't been with a woman of a different race, and it hasn't been for lack of want. I have tried to date woman of all races. Race matters not to me, only attitude and personal outlook on life. Beauty is beauty.

I think it's not just preference but availability. Sounds an odd thing to say but I live in a small farming community. There is one black family, 2 chinese exchange students and a family from Hawaii. As far as I know thats it. No matter how liberal minded I may raise my daughters they won't be able to date outside of thier race while living at home. They both plan on going away to college, so they may there.

When I was in high school/college, my family lived in a larger city. There were many different races in my school. In the group I hung out with there was a black boy I had the biggest crush on. He was sooo good looking, funny, smart, on the football team, just all around nice. We always seemed to pair up together when ever the gang went anywhere. Never really dated, although I wanted to. Once he kissed me and I remember that kiss to this day, he had the softest lips! But his friend told me that he only fooled around with white girls, when it came time to get serious, he'd be looking to marry a black girl. Not that I wanted to marry the guy but I lost interest soon after I heard that. Bigotry goes both ways.

bordendazed,

Have at it. Race, as customarily accepted does not mean much (Scientific American December 2003).

You may want to remain flexible in re norms of behavior, as these span an enormous range as you cross ethnic and religious groups.

Well, I've never done it with my own race!

I do it with attractive people. For me that means mostly what's inside. I could care less what your skin color/nationality/culture is. If you are attractive to me and I am attractive to you and the hubby is cool with it, it's all fun and games :)

Hey only their mother knows ,there is very little racial purity left
( except your partner's for who not what)
got to love me I'm the newbie
