- I don't think that being willing to accept someone regardless of
- their race shows a lack of discrimination. But, then not wishing
- to form a relationship with some specific class of person isn't
- necessarily racist either. There are still places where mixed
- race, religion, or nationality marriages and relationships can cause
- great problems for careers, children and social activities.
- Unfortunatly so, IMO.
-
- I personally always state S/D*F in any personal that I post. I
- am at a stage in my life where the race question just doesn't
- pose any problems for me, and I see no reason for excluding a
- very large proportion of the "eligible" women that I might meet
- just because they don't happen to be caucasians.
-
- Just my two-bits worth. (Inflation, you know!)
