I don't believe that this is a meaningless topic for discussion.
Now, I'm not saying that picking or eliminating someone as a
potential meaningful other (hows that for a term, and I don't
even live in California) solely on the basis of race or
color is rational, but it does happen.

I've never dated a black women, but then again I've never been in
a situation where I felt enough attracted to one that I wanted
to date her.  I don't feel that its bad or that one should avoid
interracial dating, but I know that if I ever were in a situation
where such a relationship might happen, it would take a little
bit extra for me to move.  I don't know why that is, except that
I do have this emotional reaction to it.  I don't think that whatever
belief it is manifests itself in any other ways, but then again
it's the sort of thing that I don't like, and won't let affect
my actions.  I don't know; anyone else out there have any opinions
on it?
