Uh…don’t you mean: We’re working to refine our metric to reflect real preferences? I think this means your instruments are a bit off.
More importantly, there’s nothing racist about not wanting to date someone from another race. Sometimes it’s just a preference. Racism is giving your friend shit if they want to date another race. Racism is not hiring someone because of race. Racism is still prevalent and dangerous. But let’s keep my dick out of the civil rights movement, thank you very much.

.First off…my defintion of race is that it is assumptions(stereotypes) based on someones outside appearance.
This was an interesting read! (Both article and comments) I am a black woman from Los Angeles. On this site I am hit on by white men, black men, other and hispanic men(in that order) . The funny thing is that I have never dated a white male. I get hit on by them in the real world as well. I am far from racist. And its not that I don’t find them goodlooking or less interesting. Its just a path I have yet to take. I have dated plenty of mixed men. I actually prefer black and men.
We all have personal preferences! We also, date according to our city, some people just aren’t open to dating other races due to the fact they aren’t familiar with a certain race. And all they know about people is race. (Go
back to my above definition of race). I have noticed that there are not a lot of black people on this particular site so the number of who messages who is interesting
If someone loves to date every race and ethnicity…good for them. Only date your own race…do your thing. Only like other races…awesome. its all personal preferences!
