Relationships Do You Have A Racial Preference?

why didn’t it work out with the French African? If you don’t mind that is

Nah don't worry, just it's a bit of a complex question I guess.
Think we were just a bit too different, she had this idea of dating a neat and well put together intellectual (she's got a degree in philosophy and will talk your ears off), and she only liked that side of me. But you know I'm the kind of guy that will also get a pint and yell at the screen for a football game, do light drugs and shit.
And by god I HATED how seriously she took herself.
Ended up avoiding a lot of discussions and feel a bit caged. Didn't leave her though, she did lol.
In the end I'm glad she did as I got to explore more and find someone a lot better for me.

I recommend reading about the genetic findings of the human genome project. Its fascinating. It was proven beyond any doubt that there are no races but humans themselves are one race. The differences in genetic variation are much bigger inside one subgroup f.e. black western africans then in comparison to other groups "races". F.e white western europeans in general have more in common regarding their genetic imprint with aethiopians then athiopians have with the Kalenjin in Kenya.

Racism is based on the idea of different value of different races and because of that treating people different regarding their "race". By proving that cant be the case on a scientific level we can leave racist thinking behind us like f.e. many black people in the US nowdays have. We can now look at culture, values ..etc. to understand differences in success, attractiveness...etc.

Its important to tell that and teach it to children. Every superioriority ideology based on race is proven idiotic by understanding that. Sadly in US but esp. Russia and China but also many other parts on this planet the opposite is common thinking.

A start is to not use race. We are basically the same just in different shades.

I hear you but nowadays the racism arguments are mostly "masked" by the cultures stuff, that in my opinion makes the discussion a lot harder.

Even with all the differences in cultures or whatever, cultures aren't some shit you need to defend and define (unless someone's doing a genocide), it's just how history has always gone: new people arrive, culture changes, repeat forever.

Looking at cultures and values to understand success is also something that can go to shit very quickly, it reinforces practices that exclude different patterns of relationships and work, unnecessarily too. You could say it's natural, but so is my (and others') unwillingness to go along with it.

On the other hand, I am a southern Italian, I despise your culture of work and I think it makes most of you an army of little slaves, that also means I will never be as succesful as I can because I value my down time more than my work. So there is SOME truth to that too.
